736597, Watching "The Office" for the first time...question
Posted by tully_blanchard, Thu Nov-07-19 01:32 PM
I'm on Season 5..

Does Micheal EVER win?

Just a simple "yes" will suffice...but damn...like, he never wins..ever.

I get that him being a loser is a part of the show, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

736600, He gets little wins here and there....
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Thu Nov-07-19 03:29 PM
....even by season 5 that's true. But without giving further detail-yeah. He gets a big win eventually.

Fuck aliens.
736602, He gets his wins in.

by the end, Michael gets the big win.
736603, Yes - but his losses are pretty good

.
736605, you'll be touched by how he wins when you consider the losses

736608, yeah, he does, unfortunately. he's a piece of shit

His losses are usually well earned. He's a lovable loser until you pay attention to how awful he is toward nearly everyone, at seemingly every turn.

To be fair, he's surrounded by a bunch of enablers who deserve what they get from him.

736609, Yeah, and that's the part I wrestle with
Posted by tully_blanchard, Fri Nov-08-19 08:17 AM
Like...when he's tracking for a win and the rug gets yanked from under him I feel bad...but then I think about he treated Oscar and I go "well...yeah..that's what he gets"

But it's a tough watch now..what..over 10, damn near 15 years after it first came out? Maybe early 30's me wouldn't mind seeing a guy lose over and over and over, but late 40's me is like "damn..even the worst guy deserves a W sometimes"

736741, I think some shows are unintentionally grim when binged
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Thu Nov-14-19 08:53 PM
I tried to binge Curb Your Enthusiasm and found it depressing. I guess it's like having THAT friend that's kinda fun to hang out with in short occasional doses bc they're offbeat/ a bit strange/sarcastic/whatever. It's not until you start hanging with them daily that you figure out they're insufferable.
736905, I seriously don't know why any one hangs out with (TV) Larry David

Or continues inviting him to things

Nothing but chaos and Carnage follows that man!
736644, Just started S6..my God why won't this show end? (spoilers)
Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-11-19 11:26 AM
I really, really hate Micheal now.

They got the news about the company being bankrupt, so he does the "Murder Mystery" game...and everytime he opens his mouth I wanna put a boot in it.

Outside of a Creed moment, it's not even funny anymore. I'm just watching now to get to the end.

736645, You could jsut stop
Posted by handle, Mon Nov-11-19 11:32 AM
I did it with Breaking Bad - I hated those people so much I had to stop watching.
736647, LOL @ anyone who watches this show like its a drama and not a comedy
Posted by Heinz, Mon Nov-11-19 11:48 AM
How do you hate Michael....smh

I always laugh when new people watching go in and out choosing when this is a sitcom

736651, I feel like they missed some good opportunities...
Posted by Marbles, Mon Nov-11-19 02:54 PM

In these later seasons, they should have done more with Stanley, Phyllis, Meredith, Kevin etc. I think there was some undiscovered gold in a lot of the secondary characters.


736910, I agree..the little dude Nate from the warehouse coulda been gold

736911, All done...pretty good show
Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Nov-25-19 01:03 PM
I'm good with how it ended..

Andy turned out to be a "worser" version of Michael.


Question though..

If Angela did lie about the baby being Dwights, was the doctor in on it too?
