This is Michael transferring his anger against Ryan to the pizza kid. In his mind, Ryan and the Pizza kid are both young people who have “pulled the rug out” from under him, leaving him feeling powerless. He can’t do anything to Ryan, because Ryan is his boss and is far away, but he can do something to this Pizza kid.
I swear I remember them doing a talking head moment with Dwight and the pizza delivery kid: Dwight: "I've seen this kid before. He's one of those kids that sneaks onto my farm and steals my hemp!" Pizza Delivery Kid: "Yeah, I know that guy. He's that farmer that grows the really crappy weed."
Legally, Michael could’ve taken the pizza company to small claims court. If it’s not listed anywhere on the coupon, even on the fine print, then legally, they have to apply it to more than two pizzas. If It’s not listed on the coupon, then there’s no pizza limit for the coupon. But Michael would lose that case since he did kidnap the pizza boy.
@sahilagarwal1841 it's a significant clause of the contract (limited to 2 pizzas) , hiding it in terms and conditions amounts to unfair trade practice. Micheal still would have won in court
On top of that, somebody else went ahead and ordered from Alfredo's Pizza Cafe, and nobody touched the Pizza By Alfredo. So this was all for absolutely nothing, and Dwight and someone else in the office paid for it.
I can not believe they didn’t include the two best lines from the episode. Michael screaming “Stop getting him to say it!!” and “Stop talking all at once!!!!!!!” back to back😂. Exasperated Michael is the best Michael
Twice in one day Michael felt betrayed by a handsome young person because he didn’t pay attention to what a slip of paper said. Also the “two tickets” thing was entirely made up Another thing: seeing the other branch’s bright white conference room made me realize how warm and homey the Scranton conference room feels
What if Michael was the Scranton strangler? It all woks out, he trying to frame Toby, he going out in the street to see who the police was chasing, etc.
What frustrated me so much about this is that if the guy wasn’t willing to give him half off for the pizza, then why was Michael fighting so hard to get that half off when he was literally going to take back the pizza and leave. That’s a win win. Let him take back his crummy pizza so Michael can order from the good pizza. Instead he paid for 2 pizzas that day when he could’ve just paid for one.
Or after finding out that every preferred Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe, Michael should’ve ordered from there and cancelled the order he made from Pizza By Alfredo’s
Michael was frustrated because he wasn’t invited to the party in NY. He also realized Ryan doesn’t respect him, which hurt him deeply, and he screwed up the pizza order for the office. He had a short fuse at that point.
I never realised but the actor who play the pizza boy is the same as the actor who plays Artie in Glee. So when they’re watching Glee Michal comments that Artie looks like the pizza boy.
As far as Michael's question, my answer would depend on the quality of the "pretty good" pizza: if it _is_ pretty good, I'd be perfectly happy to sacrifice quality for quantity; on the other hand, if it fits Kevin's description of being a "hot circle of garbage", then I'm not taking the risk.
Same thing with framing Toby later, though if Michael did actually go through with it they could just hand in the tapes to get him and Dwight arrested.
Poor Michael messed it all up. Leave it to Kevin to ‘cut to the chase’ we are all getting hungry out there, so we figured we might as well eat, we would like to order some good pizza while we wait for the hostage situation with the bad pizza to end.🍕
The funniest is that by not having his coupons accepted Michael had the perfect excuse to cancel the order and order the good pizza instead, but he rathers kidnap the bad pizza delivery kid..
Kidnapping forms a strong motif in the show. Kevin fears kidnappers and speaks of asportation. Dwight fears baby snatchers. Michael is afraid that Jim got abducted at the gas station. Nelly steals a baby. This motif relates to Dwight’s abduction as a baby by Hetta Schrute. He says he was born 13 pounds 15 ounces and his mother couldn’t walk for 3 months… she couldn’t walk because Dwight was already 3 months old at this point, as 13 pounds 5 ounces is the exact weight of a 3 month old baby. He also says he had a wet nurse, because Hetta did not give birth to him. Melvina was Dwight’s wet nurse. These events would plant the seed for what would grow into the Scranton Strangler. And btw, Kevin is right, it would be better if it said LANCH party. Google it. Join the Anti Strangling Task Force.
I will soon be forming the exploratory commitee to determine the viability of forming an anti anti strangling task force to investigate the inappropriocity and malfeasance going on over there at shaft-Schrute central, aka anti strangling task force. Might a deep dive into your funding reveal much if not most of it comes from a certain author of Chad Flenderman novels? Did you ask your money man why there were no Scranton Strangler attacks while he lived in Costa Rica but there was a string of Costa Rica Choker incidents while he was in Costa Rica? His last victim there managed to fight back and put him in a hospital, which he escaped while recovering and fled back to Scranton to avoid prosecution. The truth will come out one way or another, perhaps via some Shrute or Consequences or some brutal Shrutejitsu sessions. Either way, the case will be solved. Dwight will be cleared of all false allegations and those who perpetrated this smear and charade will be brought to justice, Schrute style. Fact.
I just noticed that Angela should have noticed the mistake on the launch party banner, and it's not funnier because I was under the impression she's helping to raise that banner
The pizza boy is a liar. He can walk all this time. He didn’t need a wheelchair. I’m making a Reference to his character from Glee who was in the wheelchair
"Oh my God. I kidnapped a kid."
"You had to. What other choice did you have?"
"I could've paid for the pizza."
"Well... yeah."
😂😂😂
This is not funny.
Pizzagate was real.
They are telling you.
Lol one of the rare times Michael comprehends the consequences of his actions.
I love how I knew exactly who said it and how they said it after rewatching the entire series for 6 times 😂
🤣Reading this before I got there
Me: (to Michael) Well, duh! You should’ve either done that, or just canceled that order and ordered from Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe instead, ***hole! 😠
Kidnapping a child for a very bad pizza and a party organized by Ryan. That's truly rock bottom
“Oh no it’s REAL bad! It’s like eating a hot circle of garbage!”
No-no, the reason is the employee's disregard for the client.
Pizzagate
Tbh the kid deserved it 🙄

That is quite the rap sheet, Prison Mike.
Prison Mike came before this, so that doesn't work.
As far as the coupon goes Michael was actually right. If it didn't say limit two pizza then it should apply to all of them
No. It probably does say limit of two pizzas, but customers often can’t read.

One of the few times you see Michael genuinely upset with Ryan.
Yeah, season 4 made it clear to Michael that he doesn’t respect him.
Michael is upset with Ryan the whole season tbh
@@TheDirtysouthfanbc the whole dynamic changed when Ryan became his boss. After he went back to being an employee, they were fine
$63.50 to get 8 large pizzas delivered is actually a pretty good deal.
Considering the quality, probably not so much.

As Oscar said; "It's not pizza!"
I'm actually rooting for Michael on the coupon thing. If it doesn't say it on the coupon, idc what the policy is, I'm getting my discount.
Still not smart to essentially hold a kid captive😂
@@ethanprice2165 he technically didn't hold him, he just kept the pizza and didn't pay, kid was free to leave! 😋
@@jul3249 still illegal 😂
Just dont pay for the pizzas and let him leave with them.

When you realize Michael's favorite Glee character is the kid he kidnapped.
it all comes full circle
How the turn tables...
Which one would you rather eat? A medium amount of good pizza, or all you can eat, a pretty good pizza?
Medium amount of good pizza
Agreed. I would never turn down any pizza but if there's a choice always the good pizza 🍕 😋
Hey Creed did you ever had to kidnapp a kid?
Considering Kevin says Pizza by Alfredo is “a hot circle of garbage”, I’d certainly be inclined to pick a medium amount in this case.

I always loved when Ryan was doing a pep speech and felt he said everything and yet didn't say anything 🤣🤣

Nah this was after the incident with Meredith. He’s trying to avoid being behind the wheel.
And let’s not forget he drove a car into a lake
3:19 "M'kay" followed by him immediately turning the car around is so funny.
The worst part was the pizza still sucked
And that Dwight had to pay full price plus tip.
