  (#8) He Holds A Teenager Hostage For A Discount On Pizza

  After getting dissed yet again by Ryan in "Launch Party," Michael decides to eat his feelings by ordering a whole lot of pizza for the Scranton folk. Sadly, he orders the pies from the much-maligned Pizza By Alfredo and is immediately reminded by the staff that their food tastes like a "hot circle of garbage."

  As Michael nears the end of his rope, he discovers that the coupon he's using won't cover all the pizza, and he must pay full price. His response is to hold the delivery boy hostage until the ownership of Alfredo's honors the coupon. He then asks for some extras thrown in along with the pizza for their trouble. Meanwhile, the workers of Dunder Mifflin start researching the kind of jail time they might be forced to do as accessories to a kidnapping.

  (#2) He Forces Dwight To Take The Fall For His 'Golden Ticket' Blunder

  Time and time again, Michael takes advantage of Dwight's undying love and devotion – none more significant than the episode where one of Michael's many stupid mistakes put the company in jeopardy and he asked Dwight to "fall on his sword." The boss is sure he'll be fired but thinks it makes more sense for Dwight (the company's top salesman, of course) to make an exit.

  Fast-forward to the end of the episode: we learn that Michael's "Golden Ticket" gamble paid off. Since he already told upper management that it was Dwight's idea, they now think he is responsible for the win, but Michael can't have that. He crashes a congratulatory meeting with the CFO and Dwight, taking all the credit back from Dwight. If there was a Dundie for "Biggest Jackass In The Office," Michael would win it every year.

  (#10) He Can't Tell Two Asian Women Apart, So He Marks One Of Them

  After being dumped by his girlfriend Carol, Michael joins Andy, Dwight, and Jim at Benihana (which Michael calls "Asian Hooters") while the rest of office throws a Christmas party. After moping through the lunch – and, of course, eating food off a stranger's plate – Michael gets drunk off eggnog and invites two waitresses from the restaurant to come to their office holiday celebration.

  After arriving at the party somewhat inebriated and with unexpected guests, Michael immediately heads for the karaoke machine and quickly realizes he can't tell the difference between the two waitresses. So, of course, he decides to mark one of them on the arm with a pen.

  (#13) He Reveals The Buffalo Branch Is Closing At The Company Picnic

  During Michael's clumsy (but, yes, somewhat endearing) courtship with Holly, they cross paths on a handful of occasions while with other people. One of them is in "Company Picnic," when Michael and Holly are tasked with performing a skit for all the company's employees. They decide to do a take on Slumdog Millionaire, which somehow includes privileged information regarding the imminent closure of the Buffalo branch.

  Prior to the skit, the entire Buffalo staff - and their families - had no idea they were being laid off.

  (#7) He Continues To See Donna After He Knows She's Married

  After failing miserably on a blind date set up by Pam and Jim, Michael nearly gets thrown out of the bar/arcade by Donna, the manager of the establishment. She later shows up for a sales appointment at Dunder Mifflin and ends up hooking up with Michael in the parking lot.

  After a short - but torrid - love affair with Donna, Michael discovers that she's married. Instead of breaking up, sulking, and eating an entire gallon of ice cream like a normal person, Michael continues to date Donna. Only a face-to-face meeting with her husband –a high-school baseball coach – convinces Michael that it might not be a good idea to continue being a homewrecker.

  (#3) He Ruins Phyllis's Wedding... Multiple Times

  Michael makes sure to use Phyllis's pending nuptials as a reason to find the spotlight and, in turn, provides one of the most awkward episodes in all of television.

  Phyllis puts Michael in her wedding to get six weeks off for her honeymoon. Michael takes that opportunity to do some stand-up comedy discussing Phyllis's physique and her high school nickname "Easy Rider." Not to mention, he prematurely announces "Mr. and Mrs. Bob Vance" at the top of his lungs in the church. If that wasn't awkward enough, he forces himself into the classic "cake in the face" candid wedding photo.
