15 Michael Scott Quotes You Use In Daily Conversation
NBC

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
