Because sometimes we forget how idiotic Michael Scott really is.

The 8 Most Underrated Michael Scott Moments
Brittney Helmrich

We all know that one of the most iconic television characters in recent years is, you guessed it, Michael Scott. He has so many iconic moments that many people, even those who do not watch "The Office"know about. He might actually be one of the most quotable characters of television. But, there are many moments in which Michael has upheld his reputation that have been brushed aside from the masses. Here are Michael Scott’s most underrated moments.

1. His entire involvement in Phyllis’s wedding. Between his uncanny reaction to Phyllis’s father miraculously walking his daughter down the aisle, his premature announcement of the happy couple, and his absolutely hilarious, unannounced toast — the man definitely made the whole event interesting.

2. The entire basketball game between the office workers and the warehouse guys. This might arguably be one of the best scenes in the entire show. Michael just couldn’t find his athleticism that would have supposedly won them the game if they had played until the end and then proceeded to make excuses and somehow “won” the game.

3. Lazy Scranton. Talk about a tune that will get stuck in your head. This number was made possible by the dynamic duo of Dwight and Michael, and it’s guaranteed to get stuck in your head for hours. You’re welcome.

4. His involvement in Jan’s baby. Firstly, he actually thought that the baby’s name was Astird, which contributed to the hilariously awkward feel of Jan’s baby shower, which actually occurred after her baby was born. Can was also talk about how he held Astrid in her carrier? Iconic.

5. The whole “frame Toby” incident. Michael unknowingly buys a bag of basil for 500 dollars and tries to pass it off as Toby’s marijuana, all in hopes that he will get Toby fired. His disappointment to learn that he not only bought someone’s lame lunch for 500 dollars and that he didn’t get Toby fired? Priceless.

6. When he tried to fix the company at the shareholder meeting, yet failed miserably by lying that he had a plan. He then fled from the meeting in typical Michael fashion and left all the other corporate workers to deal with the angry shareholders. Talk about courageous.

7. His involvement in Pam’s delivery. Between driving Jim and Pam to the hospital, his “distraction meeting” for Pam, and the fact that he feels that Pam’s delivery is also a big day for him are all reasons for side-splitting laughter.

8. The fun run. Or should I say, the “Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure.” Who eats an entire entrée of fettuccine alfredo before running a 5k? Well, apparently Michael Scott does.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
