Eight Most Cringe Worthy Michael Scott Moments

He’s like a car accident; you want to look away but you can’t help but marvel at the spectacle that is Michael Scott.

The Odyssey

For six and a half seasons Michael Gary Scott graced us, or scarred us, which ever way you look at it, with his quirks and misguided intentions. From the booze cruise to the moment we met one of our favorite alter egos “Date Mike”. He always meant well but his enormous heart and lack of social skills often got the best of him. Remember when he invited both Carol and Jan to casino night? As hard as that was to watch you have to admit Michael didn’t mean any harm by it. And then there was that horribly awkward moment where he spoke to Kelly using a horribly racist fake Indian accent, resulting in getting a slap in the face from Kelly. Maybe he didn’t have the best intentions there, but I honestly think he didn’t know how horrible what he was doing was. Even still, we watched week after week just to see what crazy thing Michael was going to do or say next.

1. The booze cruise.

Remember how hard that was to watch? Michael just wanted to be the captain but Rob doesn't was just not having it. And then, of course, we got to see his amazing dance moves. I don't think I've ever seen anyone "dance while no ones watching" while at the same time wanting everyone to watch.

2. When he proposed to Carol at Kelly's party.


The first red flag was when he and Carol walked into the party and she was dressed up like a cheerleader because Michael told her it was a "costume party". Throughout the night he was dazzled by the music, dancing, and love that Kelly's parents shared even though they didn't know each other well before the wedding. Even though they didn't have s'more's like he thought, he saved his own night by proposing to Carol in front of everyone at the party.

3. Phyllis's wedding.

This might be one of his worst moments ever. And of course by worst, I mean it was one of the best ones to watch. From announcing Phyllis and Bob as husband and wife to early to the entire church to, my personal favorite moment, when he revealed to all the guests that Phyllis's nickname in high school was "easy rider". This is definitely a contender for one of his most cringy moments ever

4. Watching Jan listen to his voicemail break up.

This ones pretty much all in the title. The look on Michael's face as he had to sit there and watch Jan listen to the voicemail he left in which he told her they needed "a little break...permanently", doesn't get much worse than that.

5. Jim and Pam's rehearsal dinner.

I think we all remember this one. Michael's night-ruining rehearsal dinner speech about the differences in relationships between todays couples and couples back in the fifties was doesn't definitely one for the books. Poor Mee-Maw....

6. When he broke up with Pam's mom.

Not only was this a rough one for Michael, but imagine being Pam, first having to deal with Michael Gary Scott dating your mother, but then having to watch him break up with her on her birthday. Yikes.

7. Scott's tots.

Need I go into detail? For those of you who don't know, Michael had to tell a large group of high school seniors that he was not going to pay for their college, as he had promised to way back when they were all in the third grade.

8. When he introduced us to "Date Mike".

"Hi, I'm date Mike, nice to meet me". That line alone makes me shudder.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
