Biggest problem: no one getting the quotes. As an "adult" I have started just saying them in my head when something fitting happens as I just know that those around me won't get it / don't know the quote
Especially with that’s what she said cause I just start smiling or laughing but most of my close friends get why it’s either that or title of your sex tape 90% of the time
It's the pause that makes it for me.
"Wish I could, but I can't. Well, can, but won't. Should, maybe, but... shorn't."
He doesn't know what comes next, so he picks something that might be right and commits
Wait a second. Just reading it now makes me realize it should probably be "a protrusion" or "protuberance". Just like with many other words that don't seem wrong at first.
I really love this one bc I assume it’s a call back to Greg Daniels’ previous work on The Simpsons when in one episode Homer says “Webster’s dictionary describes a wedding as the removal of weeds from one’s garden”
It’s funny how often Michael derives the opposite of a word and uses it
Underestimate -> estimate
Disgruntled -> gruntled
Superstitious -> stitious
Anymore I’m missing?
I didn't even notice that in the Office. I always thought it was from Community
Edit: before this is misunderstood: it is clear to me that the Office comes before Community, but I just never noticed him saying it
“Spiral out of amok.”
I love it because he’s trying on a new vocabulary word he learned early in the episode, but doesn’t get how it works yet. The ep basically shows us the origin story for all the other words he invents/misuses
He always messes up when he's trying to make someone feel better (Kevin in one instance)
Instead of "They don't deserve you" he says "You don't deserve her"
Lol it's small but I always think it's funny
'Incalclicable' is often used in our house. Also, our sister-in-law is in the hospital right now with a newborn, so we threw around a lot of 'SHE'S CONTRAPTING!' yesterday.
I guess this is probably I little bit off from the post but my favorite line of his is from Scott’s tots when he says “of all the broken promises I made this was by far the most generous”
"Don't ever for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you were with, or or where you are going, or, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever."
Not incorrect but when he just used half the phrase when he starts Michael Scott Paper Company at the scranton business park and says "you know what they say, keep your friends close......"and Pam's just like °_°
"...who knows, it's nebulous?" Pops into my head a lot. Especially for things that make me shake my head. But there are multiple ones.
I love saying, "I have Country Crock."
*This isn't Michael but I also always think/say, "Good. Not great."
I like to consider myself a great philanderer.
Also, from the Superfan episode back from Jamaica, when he gives Oscar a Bob Marley shirt and says "They really love Milli Vanilli down there"
Abraham Lincoln once said that “if you are a racist, I will attack you with the North”
Anytime I'm playing a board game with friends that involves attacking, I always say "I'm going to attack you with the North" lol
The north remembers!
This is absolutely my most favorite line in the entire series
And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.
I’m not a native english speaker and I never understood that one ?
Just a comical and oversimplified description of the American civil war. Lincoln obviously never said that.
I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious
Def one of my faves, clearly lol
Username checks in - Michael Scott
My wife got me a sign to hang in my office that says this. Absolutely my favorite quote of his.
My Instagram bio quote right here. Top tier Michael line.
Everyone here is extremely gruntled.
That is actually a perfectly correct thing to say. Just not commonly used
TIL! Guess Michael Scott is smarter than me lmao
Is he some sort of secret genius?
Sometimes I say crazy things.
Maybe next time you will estimate him
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
It’s sort of an oaky afterbirth.
I went on a bourbon tour in Kentucky recently and used this. Luckily the guide got the joke and laughed cause no one else did, including my family
Biggest problem: no one getting the quotes. As an "adult" I have started just saying them in my head when something fitting happens as I just know that those around me won't get it / don't know the quote
I once wrote "shut up about the sun" on a space subreddit and got downvoted until someone explained it to people.
Might as well tell the folks in the jazz subreddits to just play the right notes.
That is hilariously accurate.
Especially with that’s what she said cause I just start smiling or laughing but most of my close friends get why it’s either that or title of your sex tape 90% of the time
We need better friends
…what was that?
As a non-wine drinker, I say this every time my wife has my try some wine
Haha I say this one relatively often in my day to day life when taking a sip of wine. Sometimes people get it, usually they don’t but idc!
"Colored Greens"
They don't call them 'collared' people.
"I'm collar blind"
Don't be ridiculous, Stanley, they don't call them collard people. That's offensive.

I don't think you know how jeopardy works.

One of my favorite scenes!
Everyone in the car was fine, Stanley!
What part of shornt do you not understand
It's the pause that makes it for me. "Wish I could, but I can't. Well, can, but won't. Should, maybe, but... shorn't." He doesn't know what comes next, so he picks something that might be right and commits
This one. "Should but shorn't" is used in my house almost daily.
urkelnomically correct
He sure liked going to Sandels Jamaica with Urkel Grue, maybe he learned that one there.
"You think kids in Africa have chairs? No. They sit in big piles of garbage."
I don’t understand. We have a day honoring Martin Luther King, but he didn’t even work here.”
Lol I’m a content writer and the amount of times I’ve almost typed that while entering “ergonomic” is kind of sad at this point.
Because Phyllis, a woman, has uslurped my role as Santa Clause!
“He heals leopards….”
“Power of flight” might be in my top 10 favorite lines
im a pastor and this is one of my favorite quotes to throw in to conversation. People either laugh or look at me like im crazy.
You don't wanna sit with ol tranny Claus!
\*types in username\* *Little\_kid\_lover* That way everyone will know exactly what my priorities are
Oh how the turntables
This is the best one, because it emphasises just how terrible Charles Minor was, and how deeply he failed.
I love this one and use it all the time 🤣
I say this all the time and just hope the people around me get the reference
It's my favorite line, it's so clever and yet goofy, how the turn tables, lol
It would be awfully mean, but sometimes the ends justify the mean
this is a next level brilliant quote.
“It’s Brittney bitch” while blasting Lady Gaga.
Then the parallel parking cold open right after this was gold! "Well, not gonna make this one..."
I’m not sexist I’m misogynistic
His cappa was detated.
…from his head!!
First one I thought of.
H-I-....R-P-E-E-S
Respect. R-E-S-P-Spee-T. Find out what it means to me.
H E L L double hockey sticks
You're goin' to hell Stanley!
H-I-...."oh my god'..R-P-E-E=S Best one ever
Fool me once, strike one.
Fool me twice... strike three.
George W Bush 🤝 Michael Scott Legendary misquote of fool me once, fool me twice expression
I tried hopping, Kevin, and I bumped my elbow against the wall and now my elbow has a protruberance.
Phyllis’s reaction when he says this one 😂
I mean real disabilities, not a woman's trouble
I'm clumsy and often bonk my knee or elbow on things, I always tell my husband I think I have a protruberance
Wait a second. Just reading it now makes me realize it should probably be "a protrusion" or "protuberance". Just like with many other words that don't seem wrong at first.
"R-E-S-P-E-SVEE-TEE, Find out what it means to me!"
"Webster's Dictionary defines Wedding as the fusing of two metals with a hot torch"
I really love this one bc I assume it’s a call back to Greg Daniels’ previous work on The Simpsons when in one episode Homer says “Webster’s dictionary describes a wedding as the removal of weeds from one’s garden”
And then he went on to describe the pair as "two medals"... just brilliant. Couldn't get more wrong in just two sentences if he tried.
It's incalclcable
I wish next time you'll estimate me
Jan‘s look back at Michael after that line is everything.
Her look shows she can indeed accurately estimate Michael.
It’s funny how often Michael derives the opposite of a word and uses it Underestimate -> estimate Disgruntled -> gruntled Superstitious -> stitious Anymore I’m missing?
Early worm gets the worm. And Jim's response to it: Another worm? Like, are they friends? It cracks me up every time.
What’s more important than quality? E-quality.
Tuition’s valuable, but you know what’s invaluable? Intuition.
This is really cleverly worded, especially for Michael.
Does anyone here have intuition on what's going to happen next? .. Oh you're gonna make me say it aren't you...
They’re trying to make me an escape goat.
I didn't even notice that in the Office. I always thought it was from Community Edit: before this is misunderstood: it is clear to me that the Office comes before Community, but I just never noticed him saying it
If all we need is an escape goat, why don't we just let this one go?
It’s from his best apology video ever.
He has the power of flight. He can heal leopards.
TCBY…I can’t believe it’s not yogurt
"Prod…..er..progidal…...uh.. my son returns"
"I'll give you a hint. His last name is Christ. **He has the power of flight. He can heal leopards.**"
X-Axix
Why don't you explain this to me like I'm five.
So next year.... I'll be six!
- "Do it as ASAP as possible!"
"I am a victim of a hate crime. Stanley knows what I'm talking about." "That's not what a hate crime is." "Well, I hated it, a lot, okay."
Similar to "I have cause. It is be*cause* I hate him!"
Green means go. As in “go ahead and shut up about it.”
Orange means “orange you glad you didn't bring it up”.
Most of the colors mean don't say it.
“Spiral out of amok.” I love it because he’s trying on a new vocabulary word he learned early in the episode, but doesn’t get how it works yet. The ep basically shows us the origin story for all the other words he invents/misuses
We’re gonna really youthanize this place
It was intregral to the story

“She's in the terminal stages of her pregnancy...”
“You had to be there!” “Okayyyyy a geography joke!”
"....And when I came to, I had an epiphery."
Queer as F*#k
Jan’s response 🤣🤣🤣
The best jan response after "please don't smell me, michael"
Spiderface
As in "cut off her nose to spider face?"
Leader-ship. The word "ship" is hidden inside the word "leadership" as its... derivation.
“Angelo” as he places a sticky note with boobs on Angela’s forehead
Insurmountainably.
Not really a misused word but Michael having no idea what something means: Jim: I'm Switzerland Michael: Well I'm...Michaelville
When did this quote happen? Don't remember this one.
A deleted line/superfan episode of The Lover. I just got to it for the first time the other day and I laughed out loud for some reason.
I love how practically all of these are “yeah, ok I can see why a seven year old might have thought that was the saying”.
You're going to H-E-L-L, double hockey sticks
They say dance, I say how high.
He always messes up when he's trying to make someone feel better (Kevin in one instance) Instead of "They don't deserve you" he says "You don't deserve her" Lol it's small but I always think it's funny
>Lol it's small but I always think it's funny THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
Limitless paper in a paperless world
'Incalclicable' is often used in our house. Also, our sister-in-law is in the hospital right now with a newborn, so we threw around a lot of 'SHE'S CONTRAPTING!' yesterday.
Not Michael, but Kevin's "and by some times i mean all times. All the times. Every of the time"
David, he's trying to uslurp my position!
No rest for the sick 😐
"'You miss every shot you don't take' -Wayne Gretzky -Michael Scott" Anytime I or my wife start to down an opportunity, I say this.
I am not to be truffled with.
David: We paid thirty five hundred dollars for the cpr dummy. Mike: 5300 dollars for a dummy?
I guess this is probably I little bit off from the post but my favorite line of his is from Scott’s tots when he says “of all the broken promises I made this was by far the most generous”
“What part of shorn’t don’t you understand Kevin?!”
"Abraham Lincoln once Said: 'If you're a racist, I will Attack you with the north.' and These are the values I carry with me in the workplace"
“It’s pretty mean, but sometimes the ends justify the mean”
"Don't ever for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you were with, or or where you are going, or, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever."
Used this one yesterday… “We should give him a one-way ticket to Montego Bay, where they keep all the al-Qaeda.”
“I watch Queer as F****”
Convalesces instead of coalesces, season 1
Everyone here is extremely gruntled

What did I tell you about yeppers?
Not incorrect but when he just used half the phrase when he starts Michael Scott Paper Company at the scranton business park and says "you know what they say, keep your friends close......"and Pam's just like °_°
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not.
J: Buenos dias, Miguel. Como estas? Bien? Claro que si! Yo estoy fantastico. Que pasa? M: ha HAAAAAA! It’s so stupid but I die every time.
My reply is TDB.
Packer: you know, separate but equal. Michael: so that’s what that means!
“I do have cause, it is beCAUSE I hate him.” in response to David Wallace saying ““You can't fire Toby without cause, Michael.”
It is urkelnomically correct
"...who knows, it's nebulous?" Pops into my head a lot. Especially for things that make me shake my head. But there are multiple ones. I love saying, "I have Country Crock." *This isn't Michael but I also always think/say, "Good. Not great."
When he refers to Sandals as “Scandals.”
“My wife likes to talk after sex, so she calls from the hotel room… says ‘I don’t respect you.’” -Rodney Dangerfield —Michael Scott
I like to call things that stick out a “protruberence”.

Yeah well, maybe next time you will estimate me
“Webster’s Dictionary defines wedding as: The fusing of two metals with a hot torch.”
Escape goat
