Michael Brings Pam to Tears at Her Art Show - The Office
• Michael Brings Pam to ... 
Приколы
Michael is that one kid that comes to your birthday party when no one else will. Not to be nice or because his parents forced him, but to genuinely have a good time.
What
Yep agreed.
1000000%
You nailed it! That’s exactly it!
*Michael
He was always at his best when he wasn’t trying to be the best
Exactly. As funny as it is, and with all the times Michael is shown to be insensitive and lacking any self awareness, they resisted the urge to make him a total clown all the time. There is a good guy in there somewhere.
The episode where he's out with (I think, it's been a minute) a sales rep from another company and Jim and Pam tell him he's doing great and he realizes it's "a date" and becomes "Date Mike" is one of the best examples of this.
WarriorBoy
Well, I mean it depended on which Michael they used in each episode, the one with an 80 IQ or the one with a 110 IQ
@@WarriorBoy he is llways a good guy mate, i think you missing the point of how his charachter is like
Truth
"Somehow he manages"
"I would never say this to her face, but she is a wonderful person and a gifted artist."
Oscar: "Why wouldn't you say that to her face?"
@@ytw_michael Oscar simply wouldn't get it 🤷♂
when was this?
@@galerights8983 In the episode when they go to Pam's former high school to recruit some interns for the summer
@@carlosmv7494 do you also have an idea why michael doesn't say it to her face?
People don't understand how much a "I'm really proud of you" means to someone. You get a handful of those moments in your life, and some people never get to hear that.
makes me tear up idk smth about it
Especially when you feel discouraged like Pam did
Back in 2021 my ex wife left me. I fought so hard to save the marriage. I lost 50 pounds, went to therapy once every two weeks, and did everything I could to respect her space while also trying to change for us.
she never came home, but one day a coworker said
“everyday I see the pain you are in, and my heart breaks for you, but I want you to know that I am proud of you! Look at you! Know that you are worth it”
And that one genuine hug, and comment really helped me fight alot of inner demons. I now am so much happier because I stuck it out, but man that dude really made an impact on me.
@@mrcupcake5309 you are awesome
@@mrcupcake5309 It takes a lot of courage to honestly assess your shortcomings & try to fix them. It takes even more courage to stay the course when it's going poorly. But it takes real bravery to share such a painful story with others in the hope it helps someone else.
And for that, sir, I'm VERY proud of you. Well done 👏👏👏 BTW congrats on losing 50 lbs, you must feel like a new man. I hope you get out there and meet the RIGHT woman (if you haven't already) 👍👍👍
The scene perfectly describes Michael; an awkward, weird and genuine man
Thank you
You forgot sweet. The thing that made the whole show work, the glue, was Steve Carell. The fact that he wanted to be liked and loved more than a boss was what made him endearing. You have funny shows like Seinfeld but they dont have a loyal following like the office because the central character was funny but not endearing.
Well said, my friend
That's the problem with the U.S. version of The Office. It's too schmaltzy. The original BBC The Office was raw and often times uncomfortable because it hit close to home for a lot of people. The humor was sometimes very subtle.
@@dan_hitchman007 that's why it suck..they made it too realistic..as a former office worker the uk version was too hard to watch because after hours of sitting in the office it would be too depressing to watch that show.
Subtle detail: Michael takes down his award on the wall to hang up Pam’s picture :)
When he takes the award down, there's actually a rectangle of wall grime around its spot. Either the award had been up for all 3.5 seasons and had built up the dirt, or the set design people REALLY take it seriously (or both).
Never noticed that oh my god
Nice catch, I also never noticed that
Never noticed that....thanks for posting that info.....makes the scene so much more meaningful.
Small detail.. HUGE expression
I have to say Michael really scored here. He was genuine, honest and sincere. Also calling her Pamcasso was like the most "dad" thing he could do aside from not only buying her piece but paying to have it framed and hanging it in public view.
It was these moments throughout the series that made Michael a redeemable and loveable character. This was one of the first moments that showed his pure heart. Those moments didn’t come too often but the impact was always huge.
@@CaseyMitsch and on the boat when he told Jim to never give up fighting for Pam
@@moon-bean eh I agree but disagree. If the relationship is clearly strong then yeah stay back. I’ve been there myself and it sucks. But if you see people like Roy and Pam who were clearly just bad for each other than yeah. Keep trying, but be subtle.
This might be his bets episode when you consider how he handled Ryan.
Not only that but he took down his own award for the framing spot
"Unless...you had a camera."
I love the way Michael is his own best enemy.
Or another thoughtful comment on the quality of the painting
hes also kind of complimenting her art being so realistic and well drawn
That's not another thoughtful comment on the quality of the painting, nor on Pam's art being so realistic and well drawn. It's a brilliant display of Michael's inability to understand art.
@@suicidebxmber1234 Well, photography is also an art
@@suicidebxmber1234 Naw he was saying that a picture would be just as authentic as her painting, which isn't purposely but is still an indirect compliment.
I had a boss that was like Michael: extremely awkward, annoying, but at the same time, his heart was in the right place... and he genuinely cared about his employees.
P B that sounds like a good boss tbh
Except of course for Toby, whom he treated like scum.
Shut up we all know your boss was nothing like Michael Scott...
You need to either have a drink with your boss, or tell him how much of a good person he is (just tell him he’s like Michael Scott and remind him that it’s a compliment). If nice people like that aren’t appreciated, then we don’t deserve them.
So who left first?
“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

The truth is, I am afraid of how much I love him
So pretty much Dio?

I love how that line connects the painting and them as people. Subtext for “I am relating to this”
@@greyngreyer5it was written by a black man called dhend who is also gay in nature at the moment.
This scene always makes me cry. Michael tries too hard and can be an idiot, but he also cares so much. And he doesn’t just go to the art show to be nice or so that Pam won’t feel left out, he really is interested and likes her artwork. My heart.
Keep crying geek ❄️❄️🤓🤓

“A good manager doesn’t fire people. He hires people and inspires people … People, Ryan. And people will never go out of business.”
-Michael Scott
I don't know how you reflected in your comments my core beliefs about management and a manager as well. After all we spend 8hrs in an office which means more than what we spend with our family members during weekdays. To me my colleagues are my family as well. To see someone from that family getting fired breaks my heart
We need more bosses like Michael
Prince Levi …realistically that’s not a good idea
This was the most underrated statement by Michael ever.(to me at least)..and it pretty much summed up how he saw the people in his office.
Genuinely pretty good advice
Fun fact: When Angela’s cat died it was Michael who immediately knew and said: Sparkles? Cause he actually pays attention to his employees.
Sprinkles!!
Michael remembered the names of each and every single Scott's totts, AND what their hobbies were.
All emloyees except Toby. That man tortured Michael with his awfulness.
Yeah it was Sprinkles
Michael is a genuine salesman. He may be dumb but he actually listen other people and he will always remember other's names.
What stood out to me in this episode is when Michael asks, “How much?” Not many people acknowledged her art, or when they did- they gave it crappy reviews. But at the end, her art was the only one in the studio that made a sale (even though it was not on sale and Michael insisted to buy the painting).
The way she acts so incredulous that someone would actually pay for her artwork at 0:51 is so heartbreaking, she is at her lowest moment. Michael saves her dream here. Their relationship was solid as a rock after this. It even survived Michael moving in for a kiss at Diwali 😂
@@AB-nk5wv The Diwali is so bad that it's so good!!!! 😂😂😂
@@AB-nk5wv And how she looked at him when he pointed out they sell paper. Like, she realized he was looking so far beyond just a sheet of paper with some water color on it (basically how everyone had been judging it), instead experiencing the piece through a sheet of paper with some watercolor on it and made a deeper meta connection....ie, the perception of art and the viewers experience of it. Which so many times is dictated to the viewer instead of just letting them experience it themselves, like art is supposed to do (there is the artists intent, and the viewers perception. Neither can dictate to the other what is more superior, regardless of how often that simple concept tends to be bastardized).

@@MooOinkMedia ...you had a camera.
I thought that was an old Wayne Gretzky quote?
My favourite part of this is that he is being completely honest and isn't trying to make Pam feel better. He doesn't know that her self esteem was low at that point.
He wanted the drawing because it renewed his arrogance about paper products. Nothing more.
Yes but he cam to see her exhibit. That meant so much to her.
@@StarWarsMoments why would he tell her he was proud of her in that case, tho.
@@StarWarsMoments That's an interesting perspective that no one else have ever considered or publicized. They haven't because it is horribly off-base but nonetheless..
@@StarWarsMoments I feel like you didn't understand the show and the characters,or you don't understand people in general.
I love that he really did have a chunky bar in his pocket and offered her some, its too innocent.
She should have taken some. That's just what you do in real life.
And somehow it didn’t ruin the moment lol
@Jordan Behm It was such a fun, little fake-out. You think he's pulling a Michael Scott and ruining the moment, but the fact that he did just have something in his pocket somehow makes the moment even more wholesome.
@@TheBehm08 You might even say Pam was disappointed to find he wasn't "just happy to see her'
Yes, he had a chunky bar in THAT pocket. We may never know what the other pocket had. I always carry a Chunky bar in one front pocket so I'll always have an out if an awkward situation like this occurs.
Jenna Fischer really doesn’t get enough credit, she’s so real and expressive.
When you listen to her on the podcast, you would never guess her as Pam, she is that good of an actor
“That is our building. And we sell paper.” Michael seeing the beauty in such an ordinary thing is a lesson in itself.
I always thought of it as he's saying they sell paper, but she used it to create. Very touching either way.
James Watts ohhh now that’s a good interpretation
And then in the end, it is exactly what Pam learned about life. Michael knew it all along.
Rik mcDik wait you didn’t get that? I thought it was a pretty obvious connection to make but it might have just been me
isn't that the kind of the point?
What gets me even more about this scene is the rest of the episode - Michael had had a seriously bad day and been upset by Ryan's presentation, yet he still rushed across town to make it to her show and didn't say a thing about his bad mood, he was just upbeat and there for her.
That's a very good point. Although he did cut Ryan down to size by saying that Ryan had never even made a sale, so that kinda put Ryan's whole presentation into perspective.
Do you know in what episode was this scen
The episode is called Business School, I’m sure is series 3 episode 16?
@@orcrist2101 ep 17
The best thing about this imo is that if you were to ask Micheal afterwards , he'd surely grateful to Pam that she reminded him through the painting of his companies worth after the crappy day he had at Ryan's presentation
The fact that Micheal decided to arrive much earlier than the other guys to hang up pam’s picture just shows how much he actually cares about his co-workers for as annoying as he is, kinda reminds me of a golden retriever that goofs around a lot but is there for you when you need it.
true but people forget oscar and roy did come ..even if one did not care and only came for his own desire to win her back and the other insulted her lifestyle...we get it but it would of meant more if mike was the only one to come from the office...oscar coming ruined that and roy to an extent but less so since he was in the warehouse
@@razkablethe user is talking abt Michael arriving earlier than everyone to work to hang her painting up. It could be because he’s the boss so he has to be the first one to be at work but this reason is also wholesome
When she asked if he had something in his pocket…my heart sank so fast like “no way he ruins this moment like THAT!??”😭😭😭 I was so relieved
Michael: I would never say this to her face, but Pam is a really good artist.
Oscar: why wouldn’t you say that to her face?
masterzombie161 lmao
oh that part is also good...
She needs to learn it for herself which she does later on in the late seasons
Michael is secretly a tsundere.
It’s “I would never say this to her face but she is a wonderful person and a very talented artist”
One of the best moments that showed Michael as a wonderful, big-hearted human being. When everyone else let her down, he was determined to be there. But yet, in true Michael-ness, he was completely unaware of what it all meant to Pam.
Pretty much
In his innocence, he actually brings positive energy to everyone.
What a damn awesome character.
Because he’s a man child but a man child with a good heart and intentions. He’s like that annoying brother that REFUSES to stop bugging you and goes out of his ways to annoy you even in t most inappropriate ways. But he’s also that brother that IS a brother and will never let you know when you need help a goes out of his ways to help you
@Marius Holmberts dats a smart wym?
Isnt part of all of this that Michael had such a tacky taste? This is why he likes it and noone else does, which stirs contradictory emotions in Pam. She both feels "ah, someone likes it" and "oh no.... he likes it." It's funn because its bad and awkward
This is by far one of the most emotional scenes of the Office and solidifies the Father - daughter relationship between Michael and Pam
Crazy thing is they also have a bit of a mother - son relationship too.
@@countryman032So true!
Sometimes daughters see their father's......dangling participle. No big deal!
Except when he got a boner midway through the hug. I’m hoping you forgot that when you typed this out 😂
Which is perfect because he’s like a father to Jim and Dwight
It’s crazy how Roy was encouraging and told Pam that her art was the “prettiest”. But when micheal came and actually put in effort to admire her art she got emotional. Really developed her character
Roy said one thing, but his actions said another. He couldn't even be bothered to hang around for the entirety of her show as a show of support. Because of that, his words came across as insincere
Your art is the prettiest art of all the art
roy was being patronizing
Roy was trying to smash tho, I don't think he was really appreciative like Jim and MIchael
"Your art was the prettiest art of all the art" it was so clear that he couldn't care less about her art and was just saying that to be nice so that they could get back together. You could tell from her reaction that she knew that. But you can see from this clip how much it meant to her for Michael to genuinely see something in her, without trying to get anything in exchange
When he says "Pamcasso" and apologizes for being late...... I love Michael for many reasons and this is one of them
Like when he does the "pam, pam pam pam" imitating bam bam from the flintstones.
Luis Paras ahhhh THATS what he was doing?!!! Lol that’s great
I'm the 1000th like, just saying
He raced across town and was visibly out of breath, Michael was really something else here
I hate michael but some scenes make me love him
This is when the show figured out how to write Michael. He was so unlikeable at first imo, but this exemplifies the 'lovable idiot' trope they were trying to nail down. He has no idea whatsoever how much his gesture means to Pam, in fact, he's caught up in his own emotions at this point, but he's so genuine that his words carry weight even though he didn't intend them to
This is also just a great reminder to just be nice to people, you never know what they're going through and few kind words could brighten their day even if you never know it.
I 100% agree.. The show turned around for me was when Michael closed that deal with Tim Meadows at Chilis. Outta the blue he has a complete shock and awe moment.
He's also a really good boss here because he encourages her outside of work. In reality, no boss would do that.
He was written perfect from day 1 and here's how I saw it. You saw him as unlikable (fair).... in The Office world many people also saw him as unlikeable, but the best part of all that, the best part about Michael Scott... he didn't know it. He never set out with ill intent (minus Toby). He was oblivious to his words and actions and its a big reason why he was so great. The complete idiot. We even see some in this very scene.... its touching, a nice moment within the entire show and Pam needed it. But which painting did he focus on and purchase... the building he manages LOL.
@@T1J wow it's so crazy to see you here. I love your content.
The best thing here is that he is REALLY looking at her work. Not just saying “oh these are nice” he is looking at the details and asking questions. He sees things that she has done that he knows he could not, and is honestly impressed by them. You can tell by her posture at first that she is just waiting for him to make a joke or say something mean, and slowly realize that he is not making fun of her, and really means what he is saying. When he tells her how proud he is of her it just overwhelms her. Such a great scene.
I think Michael’s dynamic change with the rest of the characters was a great part of the show; Pam’s specifically. He started out kind of “romanticizing” her, but by the end he became more of a father figure to her. I think the characters in this show go from being immature to actually understanding one another, it’s very sweet.
Except andy, but we dont talk about that part of the show
I love how he asks "what?" after she thanks him. He wasn't telling her he was proud of her to make her feel better. He was genuinely proud of her
I recently saw this episode & this scene was really sweet.
That's my ultimate takeaway also. The scene is superb because Michael is mentally a child when it comes to honesty. He doesn't do pretense and he doesn't understand that many others do that.
The lovable dork. Pam is always great. IMO.
I never noticed that 😭 he wasn’t saying it for her benefit, we was gushing because he felt like gushingn
"your art, was the prettiest art.. of all art :)"
@iman jones Well, it was a roast. That's what they're for. You can roast your friends and still be friends.
He took down his own award to display pams accomplishment. 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly seen the series so many times and you're right, i never noticed. Tyvm
1000th like
Not to display Pams accomplishment, you're missing the point. He was proud of the fact the painting is on paper, which they sell. He didn't even understand he was being kind to her.
Ben Nahum he literally said “I’m very proud of you.” To her.
Ben Nahum he understood what he was doing. He was proud of Pam not just the fact that it was paper. He even said at the end of the series they were like his children. I’m a mother of 3 and honestly the greatest part of my life is my children. I feel 10x more proud when they do something they are proud of then anything I’ve ever done in my life including graduating college.
The best part of this show to me is always when Michael Scott breaks into wholesome, touching moments.
It always makes me cry
Bear in mind with the pretext of this episode. Michael was grilled at Ryan's class for being a boss at a failing company. Michael ultimately says its not efficiency that makes a business but the people that work at it. The humanity of it. Michael in turn is the only person to tell Pam she's enough. She's valued without getting anything in return. Michael shows that sometimes the best thing for humanity is to be a human being.
Pam drew only two cars, only hers and Michael's.
Awwww.
Right? Agree. I love that
So that Michael could drive it to her art exhibition
@@mhb.i mind blown. 😱
I never realized that! Thank you!
She obviously came in early just to draw it and Michael was also there early. It's not that deep
This makes me cry every time. He thinks he is just being like every normal person, just buying a painting. Little did he know he made Pam’s whole day. Like not even Jim could come! But Micheal did. And that my friends is great writing.
Thank you Aileen. You are so correct!
aileen’s corner another cool little tidbit is how the 2 cars that are in the picture are micheals and pams, because Pam stayed late to make the painting, and Michael stayed because he loves the place.
I'm fairly certain Michael knew what he was doing. It's why he's such a wonderful character. He plays the goofy, trying-too-hard, obnoxious boss while at work, but he's actually just a genuinely sweet and caring person.
The way he says "it could be traced" as a compliment is great.
ive seen this so many times and i still teared up watching this. this is good art!
Side note. There's a deleted scene where Michael asks everyone if they ever imagined having a different boss and everyone says yes. He goes on to say maybe a different boss wouldn't allow two of his employees, (Jim and Pam), to have a relationship and send one to a different branch. It's another amazing scene revealing just how awesome of a boss Michael really was.
Jenna Fischer as Pam Beasley has one of the most expressively beautiful faces ever. She doesn’t need to speak... every emotion is conveyed without a word. She is the woman next door you secretly pine for because to reveal your feelings to this shy beauty would ruin the fantasy. The role was made for her.
She’s not going to date you, bro.
@@blank-vj1mc Yeah, thanks for that. My wife will be relieved.

Well Oscar and his bf came too
To be fair, wasn't the main reason she went to the airport because she was too late to catch him before he left the office on that last day?
You stole my profile picture... identity theft is not a joke Wasim!
Oscar and his boyfriend came to see Pam's work. Pam was hiding behind one of the walls, overhearing Oscar and his boyfriend run her artwork down saying it was on par to motel room art. It hurt Pam a lot, hence why she gets over emotional to Michael's genuine response of loving her work.
I love this scene when he says
“We sell paper” and he’s literally asking pam how much for her art that is on paper 😩
I'm a grown man. This scene makes me wanna cry so bad. Because you can see that She's been crying. She felt alone and had no one to support her. And Michael's sincerity and validation meant so much. He didn't have to go. He didn't have to buy it. He wanted to go and he wanted to buy it. And that "I'm proud of you" means so much. It resonates too much
What makes this scene even better is that for that entire day Michael had been taken to Ryan's business school only to be ridiculed by Ryan and his classmates and argue with him so he was in an awful mood but he still raced across town to see Pam's art (the rest of the office couldn't even be bothered to turn up except Roy who just did to impress Pam)
Malachi the Great He kinda cut her down tho
Was Jim in New York or was he one of them?
Jessica Laffin He was one of them. Jim was pretending to be a vampire in this episode to mess with Dwight
Malachi the Great and Roy... although he is from the warehouse, and may have been sacked at this point
@Malachi the Great Oscar shit on Pam's art hardcore and he only went to hang with Gil and look at all the art, not just Pam's art.
"You did these freehand?" "These could be tracings!"
Such good writing. They could've gone too far with Michael's noble act. Could've made him sound like an angel or a sage. But he's still a big doofus. A doofus with a big, big heart.
Sergio García exactly what I was thinking:)
And a Chunky in his pocket.
or a genius
Doofus with a big heart.
He liked that it was on paper. That's it. Sociopathic loser.
This show is so well made. You think it's just about an idiotic boss but it gets more and more real until Michael actually becomes a good person.
Michael’s an idiot with a big heart who just wants to please everyone. He’s honestly way better boss material than cold tyrants with no conscience.
He’s the goofy dad, or dim witted fun uncle that just always felt nice to have around.
"These could have been traced" - Michael's way of complimenting without knowing the right words - but Pam knows him and knows he's genuing and continues to listen until the pinnacle - "I'm proud of you".
I don't think he meant that literally, he's dumb but not that dumb. It was indeed a compliment imo
When Michael Scott says he's proud of her, she gives him a hug. Because she knows that Michael Scott isn't lying and is a great friend.
Hes an amazing dude without even knowing it, making it much better/more genuine
Wow how did you figured that out?
no he duznt giv her a hug cuz he knos she rnt lying it r cuz he likes paypr
Yet she always treats him pretty distant and even often jokes how she is avoiding him - i get he can prob be much but she honestly never did anything with him so its not really as close as we always wanted is it? they had great moments and of course are friends but it would have been nice to see them actually joke with each other or smth like that
Michael is a good person when he's not trying to be
When Michael gets it right, boy does he get it right.
“Here's my wish. I want you to meet a great guy, and I want you to be happy.
My wish has come true, incidentally. Because, you've met me, and you are happy.”
Ryan... has never made a sale.
And he started a FIRE trying to make a Cheesy-Pita.
And, everybody thinks he's a tease
He doesn't know anything, and neither do you!
So, Suck On That!!!

"That is our building. And we sell paper."
My favorite Michael Scott line.
1:23 those are words she needed to hear, and she heard them from a person she didn’t want it from. AHH THE OFFICE 😭😭😭
The fact that this scene didn’t have any emotional music just shows how “raw” and genuine this moment is for the characters.
but The Office never has music except for the intro
AND the fact the whole show is like that gives that rawness in many ways to both the actors themselves and the genuine roles they play on set in character
This. Music is overdone on TV and cinema. This minimalist cinematographic style is severely underrated.
I've not seen the show but now I kind of want to, I hate music like that because it feels manipulative - like a scene is not strong enough to affect you on it's own. This one was.
the quiet awkwardness of it was very real
This is why Pam left with Michael when he went to make his own paper company. Pam saw how caring and supportive he can be. She wanted to do the same for him. They were friends, weird friends, but friends.
Agreed!
Milk and sugar?
Michael Scott Paper Company Inc was the best storyline in the whole series.

What I love about this show is that during incredible, emotional moments like these, there's always that one punchline that makes you start laughing through tears. One of the best shows ever created.
This was such a good scene. Michael was really nice in this scene, because he wasn’t trying to be anything, he was just himself for a minute there. Another scene like this was when Jim went to Michael’s party and stayed when they were the only two there
Was that 'The Convention'?
I love that Jenna Fischer said it wasn’t hard to prepare for this scene because just having Steve Carell look at her and tell her he’s proud of her brought her to tears.

I love how he defeats the beauty of his own idea right at the end.
It's the most Michael thing he could do.
1:15
This line delivery is just perfect. Michael and Pam really had bad day. Ryan said to the business school students that the paper company doesn't have any future which broke Micheal's heart and for Pam that Oscar boyfriend said her drawings is not art broke hers. But how Michael praises her art and realizes that her art is made on paper and I think it's their companies paper brought closure to Michael that the company still had a future.
One thing that makes me tear up is the fact that Michael genuinely loves her work. He may be a goofball, but he is so enormously proud of all his employees that they couldn’t possibly do anything wrong in his eyes. Except Toby, of course.
Toby doesn't work for him so it still sticks.
You couldn’t have said it any better
Toby works for HR, so he's not really part of their family... he's also not a part of his family.
It's like his children all grew up and married each other.
Toby's the enemy lol
"Pamcasso" He's the best
oh!! was wondering what he said...
lol right!
where did he said that?
@@natt3965 Right when he walks in
He’s so dumb😂😂 (I’m joking I love him)
Its emotional because Jenna Fischers tears are real. Its especially heartwarming because Michael is so uncompromisingly honest about everything. Theres not a shred of doubt that he truly is proud of Pamcasso.
I love that Jenna can really act as she brings so much cred to these moments!!
It wasn’t just Michael who saved Pam from an emotionally devastating night, but it was also Pam’s painting that saved Michael after he had an emotionally devastating day with Ryan who had earlier made a Michael feel that selling paper was a deadend job……
"That is our building... and we sell paper..."
"I'm really proud of you"
I also watched the video

@@PatrickWagz go clean out the microwave
I don't think you understand how quotes work.
This is a special moment for me because Michael has spent his whole evening after work helping Ryan and then after that went horribly for him he still makes it out to see Pam’s art show. Everyone else who visited Pam earlier that evening wasn’t very supportive and Pam’s confidence as an artist was clearly knocked down up until this point. Michael is very supportive of Pam and their friendship is one of my favorites on the show.

He calls it a “chunky”.
I like how at the end he realizes he could’ve just printed out a photo. 😂
This is one of the best scenes in The Office, only made better by Michael not understanding that an art gallery isn’t for sale
The most wholesome scene in the whole show for me. The moment he said "I'm really proud of you" got tears in my eyes. I don't think he even understood how much that meant to Pam at that moment.
Honestly I hated everyone for not showing. Michael is such a treasure for coming to her show.
Edit: except Oscar, Oscar came. But I’m mad that he and his partner were so mean.
Oscar came
@@cat-mh2wp That's what she said (sorry, couldn't resist)
@@IliasCheriet lol
@@IliasCheriet you mean "that's what he said , you know cause of gay" - michael scott 😭
@@cat-mh2wp Yeah, but either he or his boyfriend then dissed the art piece, and Pam overheard it. So even though he came, he wasn't really there. Contrast this with Michael - not only did he come because he *wanted* to, rather than just doing it because he was asked, he also genuinely appreciated the art.
Jenna really nailed this scene. Her facial expression right before she hugs Michael is so genuine I felt it.
Thats why i love this show. The emotions are so real and It feels like you are actually there in those moments
Yes she did. She almost made me cry
For sure. She’s perfect for Pam.
Yep. Jenna marbles was the best wasn't she!? Sad she had to quit.
InfectedPharoah exactly it’s so beautiful
for me it was the sweetest and warmest scene. Michael was the only one to show up at Pam's show, he even apologized for being late and his true appreciation of Pam's work was super sweet and Moving
I can relate to Pam here, as someone who's stating to get in to art (music) and not having someone who appreciate what I do is crushing
Michael was the only one to visit Pam at the art show.
Pam was the only one at the airport to say goodbye to Michael when he was leaving.
@Jason Well, Roy only came because he thought everyone was going
@Jason Michael was the only one that genuinely loved what she did and complimented her not to make her happy but bc he genuinely believes what she did was amazing. Oscar completely ridiculed her art when he thought she wasnt nearby. And also oscar and roy. 2 people out of the whole office showed up?? Michael was the only one who came to support
Jason It’s not that deep bro
@@calebbradford7906 hes very passionate

Serbia?
I remember the first time I told my kid “I’m proud of you.” That triggered some new understanding in his brain he’d never experienced before. Not sure if he’s forgotten that moment but I haven’t.
Michael is a secret genius, he doesn't want the camera crews divulging his success tricks to the other branches. Sometimes he has to "break character" even when cameras are rolling.
Michael is such a great character honestly, he’s immature but he has a good heart
until the next toby scene
That was always the key to his character. Everything he did was from the heart; he always meant well even if he was a buffoon or insensitive or tone-deaf. This is also how he differed from David Brent of the UK Office, and even the Michael Scott character of the first season, which was much closer to David Brent. The writers heavily retooled the character after the first season because Michael just wasn't likeable enough to carry the series, and they couldn't build a multi-season comedy around a main character that nobody could empathize with.
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg "Who let the lemon-head into the room? You are a waste of life and you should give up."

Yup. Really immature and thinks hes doing the right thing but it's just goes way overboard sometimes Haha
"True bosses don't fire, they inspire." Michael Scott
and thats when they become a leader
I don't see him inspiring toby

“Im really proud of you” never fails to make me tear up
I love the "Unless you had a Camera" line because it means 2 things.
1. Its just funny, paper is useless if you have a photo.
but, more importantly,
2. Her art is so good and accurate that it may as well be a photo, which is a massive compliment that he didn't even mean to make.
He was basically like a father to her..... No wonder she just left her job and followed Michael when he quit.
Well more like an older brother... Michael had the father-daughter dynamic with Erin.
@@aneemesh7524 look into your heart and tell yourself that Pam and Michael's relationship is a brother and sister one. Because it's not.
Devansh Jangid Well he was with her mom for a night there.
@@camdensparks524 The only difference I see here is that Erin admitted she respected Michael as a father and Pam just did it.... She just didn't know or wanted to realise that
@@randommm1516 yeah! No way it's a brother sister relationship. Plus just because he and Erin have that relationship doesn't mean he and Pam can't.
isn’t it crazy how you can change someone’s life so easily without even knowing it, she was ready to give up and go home, could you imagine what would have happened if michael didn’t show up, she could have stopped drawing or stopped being confident in her drawings, it might seem like such a little thing but in reality it’s not, deep down knowing that no one cares about you or what you accomplished it could break you, such a little thing could change your whole view on life
Yeah maybe her marriage wouldn't have went to shit if she stopped deluding herself.
THAT'S WHY LIFE IS SO ABSURD. THIS SHOW WAS PERFECT BECAUSE IT WAS AMAZING AT CAPTURING ALL OF THAT.
Regarding a poorly attended gallery show leading to an artist quitting... pretty much only in fiction. For most artists, particularly freehand drawers, rendering in paint, pencil, charcoal, etc. is just a way one manages life, more language than performance. But pop culture's rendering of visual artists has no patience for that reality. Instead every artist is depicted either excessively ego fragile (Pam) or a sociopath who obsesses over others' failure to recognize their genius.
To be fair, she went on to fail out of art school possibly with student debt. Would have been better for her to have a realistic idea of her (non)abilities sooner.
@@LyraTyrell The people who believe creating art only has value if you show it off and get validation from others...aren't artists.
Sometimes all you need is that one person in the moment who makes you feel like you are worth something
It is heartwarming to witness the moment in which Michael and Pam realized that their seemingly mundane 9 to 5 job, was after all, part of something bigger. Like the quiet and humble piece of paper that manifest the creative thoughts of humanity; the rare instances when humans got closer to the truth.
“How much?” Two words that mean so much to both Pam and Michael.

Really puts it into context when you know that Ryan screwed him before his lecture at the business school.
Thank you, Commander Riker.
At first I assumed he did it because it featured his building but apparently not.
Dunder Mifflin does
"Do you have something in your pocket?"
"A chunky" ..Pam's mortified look..."Do you want half?"

One of many beautiful moments in the office. Hats off to writers and everyone involved in the show.

@@PatrickWagz *begins standing up, hand toward you with palm half way turned up* Hey, Micheal....
it’s nice to see him still be able to have such a big heart even after living amongst dementors for so long....
This is such an amazing scene, brings me nearly to tears, just like Pam lol.
Roy shows up to give her the impression that he cares, when he obviously doesn’t, saying all the wrong things, and it just come across as fake.
“Your art was the prettiest art, of all the art”.
“How bout this huh, i show up with my brother, but no one from work is here? Thats pretty cool huh?”
“Its cool if i go right? I mean I looked at all of them?”
That 2nd one blows my mind at how apathetic it is. And it blows my mind even more that he thought he was truly being supportive.
Then Oscar and his SO play the harsh critics and say some hard things to hear. Her art isnt bold, sure, they’re not courageous. One of them is a stapler. But still, it hurt to hear im sure.
And then Micheal… he says all the right things, and the best part about it is that he doesn’t know Pam was at such a low at that point. He was saying all the right things, by accident. He wasnt putting on an act, he genuinely loved it. He was genuinely proud. Pam just looks at him the whole time and its the sweetest thing.
“Thank you…”
“-what?”
Lol as real as it gets. What an angel, a dumb angel.
U know how much he loves his company and his work when he says "that's our building and we sell paper"
“Sorry I’m late i had to race across town” meaning he went all that way for pams sake ❤️
Ohh👍
Babe alert.
I teared up 😢
Yea the fact Michael wanted to buy the painting too
notice how there are only 2 cars in the parking lot ... Michael's and Pam's.
Eric Dandurant that’s why she asked him if he had something in his pocket! 😉
Notice that no one gives a shit?
When I originally watched this I thought for sure they were gonna hook up and fuck
I believe that indirectly reflects what was going on for them at the time. Pam was newly seperated and Jim was dating Karen so Pam was probably staying late at the office ecause she had no reason to rush home. Michael equally was going through his own shit with Jan and whatnot, so there were probably days where it was just them two after work.
Probably because Michael's car is really iconic and her car... is her car, so she could remember well those two cars
Ironic, how teary eyes can be the most beautiful ones.
i remember watching this and the moment pam hugged michael i said out loud - "very cute" and then pretended it didn't move me in some way.
Another moment where Jenna and Steve shine. When she follows him to airport to say goodbye is epic. They are very underrated in this show but of course when her and John are together thats pretty %$^# good too!
I don't think Jenna gets enough credit for just how great an actresss she is.
I agree, she has some serious acting chops.
Yes! She had so many great moments, like the one when Jim gives up the job in NY and asks her out
@@paulbrendanawicz4609 yes those are probably the two best..that’s the other one I thought of.
Agree 100%. Both her and Angela were a pleasure to watch for nine seasons.
Was going to write the same thing...at times she was so natural.. especially in the first 4 seasons..
I also loves Michael's perspective in this scene. He just found out Ryan thinks Dunder Mifflin is an obsolete and failing business. Through Pam, Michael sees someone who cares enough about the company to make art of it, and realizes that her art means their paper still has importance even in a paperless world. Everyone talks about Michael encouraging Pam in this scene, but I also love how she encouraged him.
"This is our building, and we sell paper." That is why this sentence means so much, when to anybody else it might be a nothing statement. Well said, Matt.
But we still love Ryan. He's Kelly's bff.
The quality of this show is way ahead of its time in every aspect.
Pam saw the beauty in things as they are, not what they could be. And i love how that showcased through her art.
Yo 👀
As she said, there is a lot of beauty in ordinary things
Nobody is talking about the context of this scene and how everyone passing by disregarded her work and made fun of her. Oscar and his boyfriend came to see her work only to ridicule it while they thought she wasn’t present to hear them. Michael was the only one who came and the only one who complimented her art.
So?
Yes thats the entire point lol.
Michael was the only one who came
That's what she said
