The Office recap: A fish out of water
The questions Michael himself asked this week summed up his character pretty well, starting with ''Why is Christmas the only holiday that can have a message?'' He wondered ''why would you date an amateur when you could date a professional?'' And then as usual, he got a little more serious and emotional — ''Who are your five friends?'' — before resolving with ''Jim is jealous of me?'' That's Michael's whole Office trajectory right there: Silly, out of touch, and then way, way too in touch. It's not that he's fundamentally incapable of self-awareness, it's just that it's a bad idea for him.
