Why The Office Changed The Original Michael Scott

When you look back at The Office episodes that best define Michael Scott, very few of them are from the first season. The best Michael Scott moments come in moments like CPR or fire drill and there's a reason for this. The office changed the character in big ways between the first and second season. This is a look at why the office changed the worlds best boss so much.

    Bailar Lasagna but in the end he always seems to redeem himself naturally you can’t help but cry when he leave the office. Because he has grown and learned and became a more likable. person. He learned that packer is the real dickhead and he left his toxicity. He learned that the office isn’t his family holly is, the office can only be at the end of the day at most their best friends. He overall changed greatly and I’m sure he might do someone over the top things again but he knows better and I think he was a great character overall.

    From a writers POV I think you missed the biggest change. It’s about character motivation. He goes from being driven by ego to being driven by wanting to be liked, accepted and loved. One is a characteristic everyone dislikes the latter is something everyone can relate to. That in turn leads to everything you speak on in terms of consequences in terms of plotting, likability, character development and how relationships on the show.

Then as he became more comfortable in front of an audience, and more confident in his own skin, he loosened up and acted like his true self.

It was him wishing to get married, have kids, and have friends. The room got silent, he was confused and sad. He went to his office and stayed there. That was so heartbreaking, but in the end scene we saw him laughing and crying when he was watching the tape of the kids show. The screen showed the other kids on the cast, and they were having fun with him. That made be sob.

    I think my “aha” moment for Micheal is somewhere in the later seasons when you finally realized all he wants in life is to be loved. To me, he is an attention seeker and a people pleaser to the extent of making awful choices, but all because he has a lot of love to give and wants to be loved in return. May be a stretch, but that’s how I always interpreted him.

    not a stretch at all. michael has a lot of narcissistic tendencies, and this is no mistake. narcissists are actually very deeply insecure people who create a facade of being self-obsessed and berating others because that's the only way they know how to deal with their insecurities. though i don't think micahel is a full-on narcissist, he is definitely very insecure about himself (this is likely due to not having friends as a child, and having a tough home life), and because of that he acts out in order to get attention, even if it means hurting people who he loves (the office). as mentioned in the video, once he meets holly, someone who does truly care about him and enjoys spending time with him, he becomes less insecure about himself, and matures as a person.

    One thing I loved about Michael Scott was his relationship, especially in the earlier episodes post season 1, with Dwight. He kind of treats Dwight almost like a younger little brother. He gets annoyed with him, teases him, and even kind of talks to him like a child, but like all brothers, deep down he loves and cares for Dwight more than a coworker, but like his younger brother.

    I like in "The Traveling Salesman" episode when Michael and Andy go on the road to make a sale. It was also one of those humanizing moments for Michael when it showed he can be competent and make a sale (or try to make a sale if not for Andy to screw it up). And also in the same episode, Jim and Dwight, when out of the office to make a sale, showed they can actually work together, not argue and actually make a really great team. I think this is one of those underrated episodes that hilariously contradicts their usual character.

    That was depressing though.. Showed how sad and lonely his life was. It was like when he faked he was going to commit suicide and then actually had to be cheered up and given a reason to live and Darryl couldn't really think of any. That hit on reality for many people. Many people out there are like that and really have no one to share their lives w/despite trying or wanting to... Even me. I'm pretty much a loner even though I want more people in my life and crave a sense of community that our society overall has broken down over the last few decades and so we're all so isolated now and not even knowing our neighbors. We all just have to do the best we can w/what we've got, but I wish people would reach out more. We need to be friendlier to everyone in America or things will keep getting worse.

    I think Todd Packer plays a huge role in Michael's development in the eyes of the viewers. When we first see him, we think of him as a duplicate of Michael Scott, but with each appearance of him, we see that Michael isn't mean spirited like Todd is. Todd is the "cool guy", people on the lower levels of social hierarchy, like Kevin and Michael, worship him. And that's how he gets away with puking out his offensive thoughts in the form of comedy. Michael, however, has a hard time making friends, he can't pull people the way Todd does because he isn't "cool" like him. He uses comedy to try to make people like him, not to belittle people. I think this is best displayed when Michael stands up for Phyllis and hugs her when Todd makes fun of her, reasurring her that she's beautiful. Phyllis feels sympathy for Michael and this excites Michael as he often doesn't get this kind of friendly affection from people. He gets too excited and follows it up with "I'm afraid of getting a boner". He crosses the line, not because he wants to be mean towards her but because he thinks his behaviour is being rewarded and he can't see that there is a limit after which people get uncomfortable. Tldr his offensiveness stems from his stupidity rather than his personality

Every time he's real with himself and the people around him, you truly see him shine as both a person and a very, very one-of-a-kind guy. and frankly that's the best thing a character can be developmentally

    I don't quite agree. I think all of this is true, but the issue was bigger than Michael Scott. The first season of The Office was about people hating their job, their boss, and their coworkers. ALL OF THAT shifted after the first season. Gradually, Jim became less smug, Dwight showed more intelligence and adaptability to soften his arrogance, Pam became more self-confident, other characters became less caricature. The group went from hating each other to just being a bit frustrated with each other. Michael Scott was a big part of that, but only a part of it. Ultimately, the show became less of a farce and more of something the audience could relate to.

    Great video! I definitely noticed that jump from season 1 to 2 in terms of the "niceness levels," and I think the writers did a great job of making us like most of the other characters in the office as well. I have to say though, and this has probably been said before, but Jim and Pam become more cold and distant towards the other characters as the seasons go on, especially after their wedding. Whenever they team up in later seasons, it seems like they are acting the opposite of how Michael acts.

But I have absolutely loved watching Michael Scott change over the seasons (I ended up starting on Season 2). I just loved the moment with him and Erin and how she saw him as her dad. This video is a really good explanation of how I came to love the US version (although I think it ended for me when Michael left...) and how I came to love every single scene that Steve Carell was in, and was stupidly so happy when he met Holly.

    Best moments for me for Michael Scott were: 1. The sale he made to the guy at Chili's. Showed us he was actually competent. That he actually had awareness of reality. 2. Pam's art show. Showed us that he actually does care about these people he works with, and to an extent, he cares about us the audience. 3. The hug he gives Holly after Jan leaves. This might be my favorite scene of all. He's so honest in the moment to show us what it is he wants. He wants someone to accept him. 4. His last scene with Jim. It's the moment when we the audience realize how much we love Michael Scott, flaws and all. When we finally accept him.

    I just started watching the office early this year. I always put it off as I said ‘this isn’t for me’. The first season was so-so, but from season 2 onwards got me hooked. I just finished my third complete series watch-through. This has to be in my top 3 favourite comedies of all time.

    "Booze Cruise" is where Michael wanted to inspire his employees the whole time and failed miserably until the end, where he wasn't trying to be the center of attention for once. He gave Jim life-changing advice: "BFD, engaged aint married...never, ever give up."

    @@sarasthoughts yeah except for those characters in the show it did! If Pam was truly happy in her relationship with Roy jim wouldn’t have liked her so much. He knew they weren’t right for each other and everyone else could see that too. Roy was a jerk and they weren’t compatible. So Jim took his shot, admitted his feelings and left for Stamford. If she wanted to make things work with Roy she could have, but she chose not to.

    @@indiag89 Jim was a stalker, does not matter if she was unhappy in her relationship, only a creep or jerk does not respect a relationship. Jim in real life would gotten his ass beat or worst. His character is the bad guy in real life. I disliked him on that show, that is why after season 2 I was done. How was Roy a jerk? Give us 3 examples, because last I saw the show, they never showed Roy side of the relationship. We can also say, that Pam is a disloyal person, she opened the door to an emotional affair with Jim, a loyal person does not entertain the idea of having some else so close to them. Something I would NOT accept from any woman, is her having a male friend. I won’t stop her from having a male friend, but I would stop having a relationship with her. Oh, yeah before you believe I’m single, I’m not, I am a married man, going 7 years, glad my wife is traditional, she only has girl friends and the only close males in her life is her father and brothers.

Roy was a jerk and he was saving pam from an eventual divorce anyway. I’ve been married 10 years and don’t have male friends either.

    Or when micheal almost breaks down crying of joy when he sees Pam's paintings (especially the one of the office)....and gives her that embracing hug....then that beautiful moment punctuated with the (what's that hard in your pants) candy bar joke....just shows how amazing the cast, writers, acting....and this show I'm general is sooo goood

    It's also a cultural difference. British humour tends to be more subtle and ironic where in general American audiences prefer more slapstick simplistic loud humour along the lines of Anchorman and American Pie etc. One of the few exceptions to this is the popularity of Napoleon Dynamite and Flight of the Conchords in the USA
