15 Michael Scott Quotes You Use In Daily Conversation

In This Article:

I mean, he explains life perfectly.

1. "Yesh"

https://goo.gl/images/oituCL

Instead of saying yes, I often reply "yesh." Jan may hate it and so do most parents, but once you start it's truly hard to forget that there isn't actually an h in the word yes.

2. "Welcome back, jerky jerk face"

This works for your friends or frenemies. Jerky jerk face is just such a burn.

3. "I declare BANKRUPTCY!!"

Giphy

He didn't just say it, he declared it.

4. "Well, well, well, how the turntables."

5. "GD"

goo.gl

If you're like me, you don't like to cuss. Neither does Michael Scott. So as not to take the Lord's name in vain and use a bad word, he just says GD.

6. "No! God please, NO."

goo.gl

This is apart of everyone's lingo even if they don't realize it's from The Office.

7. "Can't think... Need more Mullins."

https://goo.gl/images/8tPHqV

Why focus on the stresses of life or heartache when you can just turn up a little Mullins? Michael is listening to "Lullaby" by Shawn Mullins after learning the branch may be closing. Even if you don't listen to this artist, you probably have one that you turn up when you just can't think.

8. "I don't wanna work, I just wanna bang on this mug all day."

goo.gl

Michael banging on his World's Best Boss mug and singing this little tune is all of us at work.

9. "These people are my FRIENDS."

goo.gl

10. "You know what they say... fool me once, strike one. But fool me twice... strike three."

https://goo.gl/images/EBtsyU

Seriously, do not fool me once or three times. Because the strikes will be stacked against you.

11. "Should've burned this place down when I had the chance"

https://goo.gl/images/9hcBZj

This was my quote all of high school.

12. "Tell him to call me back ASAP as possible"

https://goo.gl/images/fRzpSK

I'm not sure why, but it's honestly hard not to say "asap as possible." I know the AP of ASAP stands for that, but it just sounds more official to add "as possible" after ASAP. Michael was onto something.

13. "I am dead inside."

We feel you Michael.

14. "Do you think doing alcohol is cool?"

goo.gl

When you're bored at home and see people all over snap posting pics of what they're drinking this line is a go-to to utter. Seriously, why do we all feel the need to post a picture of our Margs? (I'm guilty though so no real shame)

15. "That's what she said."

goo.gl

Even if there's no time, That's What She Said is an iconic and classic Michael line. Much like "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take", he may not have originated the phrase, but he sure did make it popular. Try as you might but it's almost impossible not to use this in daily conversations.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
