Threat Level Midnight Threat Level Midnight is the first of a run of three Season Seven episodes that finish out our list, and the one that most screams "late in the run of the show." Based on several previous references to a spec screenplay by Michael Scott, the episode breaks the traditional Office format in order to give the cast a chance to play cheesy action parodies of themselves, all while Michael and Holly have an inconsequential fight and then make up to keep things moving. There couldn't have been a final moment more perfect for Michael than his silent "that's what she said," and although we were sad to see him leave the series, we couldn't really have asked for a more expertly crafted happy ending for such a middling, shitty person who absolutely doesn't deserve it. With ridiculous thoroughness, we got final notes in Michael's relationship with almost everyone in the office, the culmination of an incredibly sweet love story (superior to Jim and Pam's, honestly), and Will Ferrell's Deangelo Vickers to keep us on our toes.
#Michael scott keep it simple stupid series
Michael and Holly's exit from the series stands as one of the most satisfying non-finale finales in sitcom history. Or at least some ceiling-sprinklers must go off. In every comedy list, some rain must fall.
The episode may grace the bottom of our list, but whoever came up with the sequence "cell phone ring - wine bottle roll - balloon pop - baby cry" is a certified genius. It was one of the fleeting moments we kind of cared about Andy and Erin's relationship, and on The Office's cringe-scale, hits it out of the park with perhaps the ultimate "sequence of noises interrupt a play, but they try to keep the show going anyway" scene ever filmed. Andy’s Play A standout episode from Steve Carell's final season, Andy's Play showed us what a terrible babysitter Erin would be, how much fun Jim and Pam could be as parents instead of love interests, and, most importantly, Michael's audition that was just an entire episode of Law & Order.
