Three Godawful Sins Committed by THE OFFICE

1. Kevin wearing empty Kleenex boxes as shoes for Jim & Pam's wedding - even for Kevin this was just way too stupid; nobody on Earth would show up anywhere like that much less a wedding, especially when it wasn't actually Kevin's fault anyway and when everybody else got out of the wedding he'd have a funny story to tell them at the reception. Maybe they thought it would be a funny visual gag but it's just too stupid for planet Earth. Oh -AND Jim & Pam didn't even want him at the wedding in the first place so he shoulda just been happy to use the shoes as an excuse to skip the ceremony for the reception just like any normal person would be hoping for anyway.

2. The whole Michael & Jim as co-managers thing - obviously it's way too implausible that a manager of 12+ years would suddenly be fine with someone else who's worked under him for years & years suddenly being his equal but it also revealed the worst of Jim, whose "I deserve better than this place" looks & jokes made us feel empathy for him before but once he was "co-manager" everything he said just made him sound like a dick, partly of which was due to the fact that he treated Michael like a baby once they were equals which they never should've been in the first place. THANKfully this whole beyond-stupid arrangement was quickly aborted.

3. Scott's Tots - not the premise, which I remember thinking was genius when it was first revealed, but....nobody checked in throughout the last 10 years to make sure this random guy who promised these kids the Moon was actually going to follow through? They made it seem like even though they'd never heard from him in 10 years they were all fully expecting him to pay off his promise, even while they were basically at the last minute before college. Someone even said "I was counting on that money!" and it's like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh I know as an audience we're supposed to hate Michael for this but the idea that nobody would bother to confirm over 10 years and parents would actually factor it into how they saved or didn't save money for college is just batshit insane and they should all feel lucky they got laptop batteries out of him in the end. Cringe-inducing, but not in a good comedic way.

I do, however, love this moment from Oscar and could watch it over & over forever. 🤣
