“I cannot hit customers, I’ve been told” is probably the most underrated quote in the show

[@brianm2881]

One of the best running jokes in the show is the subtle, and not so subtle, hints at Michaels mental instability.

[@josephharley9448]

@@brianm2881 Michaels mental state is big enough to run another show like max and paddy morphed out of phoenix nights

That and "There's one in the bathroom, but I've no cause to use it" when asked if Michael has a spoon.

@@billybear2333 Any pastry product that contains a sugar based liquid filling, will reach astronomical temperatures in seconds. I would say 1 minute MAX would be enough in a 800W+ Microwave to get the apple pie to a cooked temperature thats safe from inflicting oral scalding (given the consumer gives a cooling down period of aproximately 40 seconds).
