The Comedy of Michael Scott...

Never has the ineptitude of a manager been captured in one person like it has been for Michael Scott. Quite literally, never...hence some of the comedic magic of The Office.

He is entirely offensive and 95% of his character is irredeemable (yeah, for a long time I thought he was completely lacking of any irredeemable qualities, but it turns out that much like me he has some shining moments where you think, "I could be friends with Micheal Scott.")

Then after the SuperBowl XLIII (ten before fifty plus three...if you can't read Roman numerals) there was a special The Office episode...and Mr. Scott says perhaps the most hilarious thing ever...and bravo to the writers of The Office for making a controversial joke...

"Stanley, you will not die! Stanley, Stanley! Stanley, Barack is President! You are Black, Stanley!"
-Michael Scott, The Office

Take that for everyone who thinks that The Office isn't funny anymore (Sara, hi-five!).
