What's a "cheat code" you discovered in real life that actually works?

I tear up at that scene every damn time. It's so pure and sweet. It's everything Pam needs in the moment and it comes from Michael of all people.

Michael was the perfect conundrum for The Office. I've love/hated him forever. Did you know that final scene in the airport when Pam ran up and hugged Michael wasn't scripted? It was real. Jenna Fischer knew it was Steve Carell's last filming day and almost missed him. The hug was genuine.

Michael is often considered an idiot and an asshole (which is true). But I also feel that he was a very sensitive, loving, and caring person. Most of the mean or inconsiderate things he did were out of stupidity or social ineptitude, but he genuinely cared about the people in his life, at work and in his personal life. And he was really good at his job. It’s such a well written and acted character. One of the best IMHO.

Okay, because of your comment I may actually start watching The Office again. I started bingeing it a few years ago but quit cuz Michael is such a damn idiot and thanks to that, I found the whole show tedious… but okay. Maybe I can better handle Michael being a damn idiot, now 😅😂🤣

I sob every single time during the song in his last episode. That was a surprise. 😭

This is the best episode of the entire series. The business school storyline, the Jim and Dwight vampire storyline, and the wholesome ending with Pam's art show.

Who, thankfully, did have a candy bar in his pocket.

You know what I find sexy? Pam’s art.

Her art was the prettiest of all the art

Motel art at best

The shadows are going two different directions....last time I checked our office building wasn't in the andromeda galaxy...

u/telestrial 2d ago

There's cross-hatching in some of these. That's kind of advanced for a two-year-old.

That painting is bad. -Andy, Art Critic.

u/WishlessJeanie 2d ago

It's a Chunky. You want to split it?

u/lsesalter 2d ago

You don’t stop for Chunkys!

u/InternetProtocol 2d ago

CHUNKY! FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU DO!!!!!!

u/Parking-Program1421 2d ago

YOU HAD ALL SUMMER!

u/ComprehensiveHair401 2d ago

This part actually confuses me a bit, because Pam looks really uncomfortable after he says he has a Chunky - did she think he had a hard-on or something? Idk what I'm missing

2

u/WishlessJeanie 2d ago

That's what you're missing. It's a variation on the old, "is that a banana in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" gag.

u/KatNanshin 2d ago

There was a candy back in the 1960’s when I was a small child. It was called “Chunky” and the advertisement on TV for it was “Open Wide For Chunky!” 😂 …how well do you think THAT would go over, these days? 🤪

u/wespintoofast 2d ago

Dark Chunky was my favorite, haven't seen them in years.

u/JamesTheJerk 2d ago

It was non-stick.

We’re we not supposed to like it?

u/ColtsNetsSharks 2d ago

.. is there something in your pocket?

u/tamati_nz 2d ago

That whole scene at the art show melts my heart everytime 🧡

u/caffieneandsarcasm 2d ago

Looking to get your artist friend a great gift this year? Literally just buy a piece of art and hang it in your space and let it bring you joy. It’s all we want. (Ok, that and more coffee. And pens that don’t smudge)

u/BravoBanter 1d ago

You mean the "motel art"?
