BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON!! | *THE OFFICE* S5 REACTION - Ep 25 "Broke"

[@sundropcenter6758]

I like how David Wallace doesn't get mad at Phyllis when she criticized him for not returning Michael's calls, because he does seem to genuinely regret that

[@AREA-jp8vb]

The one thing I love about the negotiating scene is when Michael starts going off you can see Ryan and Pam come to the realization of what’s happening and they just slowly turn and watch him in awe.

[@krazygreekguy]

Best part Michael gets to tell off Charles with the same line: “No, nope. You’re done.” 😂

[@AceCorban]

I do love Michael's rare moments of genius.

[@Violetsareblue092]

One of my favorite episodes, love seeing Charles comeuppance and Michael actually have a win. Glad you were just as satisfied with both storylines lol. Also “how the turntables” is great

[@stevenwoods8463]

Michael's moment of brilliance! So rare and so satisfying. I love that Michael rejected Dwight's finger point. He's such a kiss ass. Rainn Wilson has said that Dwight has this child-like obsession with hierarchy. Not surprising.

[@jerodast]

The most shockingly competent moment of Michael's life! (Excepting some actions regarding Holly.)

[@MrEph]

When does he do this??? I can't find the moment

[@stevenwoods8463]

Did you notice Idris Elba's quick break of character when Kevin said "HI"? Always cracks me up.

[@jerodast]

Jimmy doesn't find Kevin funny, but Idris does :P

[@Godskilla91]

So odd how Kevin’s delayed hi is meant as a comedic moment but Jimmy got immediately annoyed 😂

[@dodiswatchbobobo]

All those pranks were Jim training for this day. Love how fast Charles’ competence reveals itself as an automated corporate facade when the office starts playing by the Office’s script.

[@jerodast]

I have zero respect for Charles. He absolutely loved people kissing his ass a few episodes ago, and he absolutely loves kissing his boss's ass. He is a clueless, uninspiring, unfunny corporate loser.

[@texashookem22]

The van is classic. I actually saw someone who painted a van exactly like it driving around East Texas. No idea who the owners are, but they're welcome at my bbq anytime.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Why do you think it is not actually owned by a real Korean Church?

[@brentbrooks3]

Jimmy, when you started with Season 1, Episode 1 - I quietly thought to myself about how much you would enjoy this episode once it came up. This was a rewarding watch for sure.

[@ronnieh7925]

I know some people dont like Charles but I do. It shows how you can be as business savy as you want to be, but to be a manager, you have to know THE BUSINESS and the people in it! 1 of the most (if not the most) satisfying Michael moments in the show.

[@doodoo5594]

i’ve been waiting for michael to get that salute and it was so worth it jim was defo the mvp tho

[@TheGeekHeroes]

Thank you for posting these so regularly. Always great reactions.

[@alexthaalien]

The goat! Love this episode. Much love Jimmy!

[@YgMeech679]

Just FWI Charles wasn’t fired, he just got sent back to corporate.

[@jerodast]

It is pretty unjustified for Michael to totally deny Charles from speaking, as a higher ranking employee in good standing, but obviously I don't give a damn because it was delicious 😎😎

[@blotcho84]

I love this episode! It was great how that meeting turned on Charles. Idris Elba was a great guest star for this storyline.

[@jerodast]

Yes! Exactly what I was going to say, Charles' comeuppance in the meeting was great.

[@kellifranklin9872]

@@jerodast I see what you did there! Lol

[@beautybysaranwrap]

This episode is SOO GOOOD, this is exactly why as dumb as Michael can get, he’s a salesman genius!!

[@iminumst7827]

The office is really impressive with just how many seasons it has of great episodes. It does eventually fall off, but you still have multiple seasons to go before the decline.

[@williammccormick984]

Decline happened as soon as Steve Carell leaves. So basically two more seasons before The Office boils over.

[@leonlinton634]

I personally think the decline starts mid-season 6, around the time Sabre comes in - but it's not until season 8 that it gets really bad.

[@unc54]

Yeah I agree. Having 4 elite seasons is noteworthy even if the lows of the Office are shockingly low.

[@peytonalexander5300]

I didn’t think the last seasons were that bad. There were some frustrating characters and unnecessary episodes, but I feel like it just goes from really, really good to just sort of mid. It’s still a decent show.

[@shad0wincgaming]

I'm not enthusiastic about the show after season 7 but it's still a good show and I enjoy it very much.

[@akaLids77]

My favorite 10-15 minutes of the week..watching these reactions

[@dominiqueodom3099]

"Well well well.....how the turn tables." Forever immortalized Michael's inner Logan Roy when it comes to business makes it appearence right here. Michael talks a 60g buyout on a failing company into a multimillion dollar buyout. Michael Scott is a Killer,and Dwight is the Kendall to Michael Scotts Logan Roy....never forget that. Something Succession taught me is the deal is never done until the deal is done. So many variables could come into play that alter the deal in a significant manner.

[@abc123tiktok]

Just an all round great episode with everyone playing their part perfectly.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

3:39 If he had just ceased taking on any new clients until he was well into the black, then his company would have ceased growing, and would have not developed more expensive costs. Then when his business had a reasonable amount of liquid capitol saved up, they could go through a "growth spurt" and upgrade. At least I think so 🤔.

[@Patrick76399]

Could this have been considered the series finale? That could have the final shot with Michael having his leg up…Everyone was in frame except Pam, Ryan, Kelly and Toby. No nostalgia, no reminiscing, no one acting out of character- just the end of the story.

[@jerodast]

Sorry gotta have Pam in frame. So close!

[@S-CCCC]

Yayy thanks for posting this so soon after the previous episode, been looking forward to this reaction!!

[@jerodast]

You skipped the "Our company is worth _nothing."_ moment! I swear it felt like about a 10 second pause after he said that sentence even though it was more like 3/4 of one haha. Brilliant line for Michael Scott.

[@vincentvancraig]

It’s the greatest mini-arc ever and it could’ve been a movie….it’s the the reason seasons three and five are my faves….i SOOO I didn’t want to say *even that* just six episodes ago cuz I’m a good guy and that would’ve spoiled it to my mind….i, and I think everyone else, wanted no spoilers, because an arc kinda implies something, I think, , idk, im tired……god, it was hard not to say that to tho, “mini-arc”……anyway, some office fans will just binge Michael Scott paper company like it is a little movie, …god, I love this show.

[@Jerm408502]

Dunder Mifflin fucked up a good thing. For all of his fault Michael Scott ran the most profitable branch. Dwight is not going anywhere because he's his #2 and Jim is tied to Pam. Him might slack off, but he still makes a good deal of sales. After all, he signed Blue Cross who was said to be their biggest client at that time.

[@MindsWide]

Been so hyped to watch you see this one 😆🔥

[@eoincripps]

How the turntables........................🤣

[@matthewlennon6289]

This episode, this reaction. Iconic

[@Ninaofthe90s]

I love Michael. That was so satisfying 😊 Jim was fantastic as well and Pam going with Michael also payed off ❤️

[@jerodast]

There's a part of me that is outraged at Jim, because if Dunder Mifflin were a nation, he is 100% guilty of treason. I genuinely don't know if he broke any laws by sharing confidential negotiating information with a competing company. But it was all for love! (And also a petty rivalry with the mayor.)

[@dmhkillah8195]

my all-time favorite episode!

[@YT_AKai_]

“Stanley! Pay attention!” - bro c’mon 😂😂 Charles was such a good addition idc what anyone says. Edit: the Captain Jack Sparrow salutes were great 😂

[@abc123tiktok]

Agree, I think he was in their for perfect amount of time. Its like Toby and Creed who are my favorite but I don't think they should have whole episodes dedicated to them. Charles was a perfect shake up for story that not sure where it was going at the time.

[@MOH_AL_K]

This might be Michael’s peak right here.

[@Liz-mm1sy]

This is my favorite little arc. I don’t know why. I think it’s the delivery van. Also, David can suck it.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

Did you say "Suck It"? 😏

[@jerodast]

How dare you spoilers!

[@shahriachowdhury9552]

Did that lady ever get dropped off or is she still in the van???

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

The trio never realized that what the Korean Lady _really_ wanted was to join them, she wanted the Michael Scott Paper company to hire her. She thought displaying that kind of determination was something Michael Scott would appreciate. But, being Korean she was kind of stolid and reserved so she didn't make it clear to them what she wanted. 😞

[@TheRealMrAndrew]

I love this episode, but Charles never gets his comeuppance. In this episode he just leaves without getting to say goodbye, he gets to come back for the company picnic, and then is presumably fired when Sabre buys the company. The man deserved the Ed Truck treatment or to be seen on the streets homeless with meth mouth. Instead, he gets to just move on to his next job. There is no justice. Absolutely the most hatable character in the series and there’s zero payoff.

[@omglowlz5417]

Can't wait until you get to Scott's Tots.

[@XHUERO3]

Top 10 the office episode

[@simpatate]

That was a serious catch-22 syndrome

[@HEWfunkingKNEWit]

The actor really sells the charles role, evwn davids actor. Such leftfield casting for them but it works so well.

[@MrOscarDaSilvaVieira]

They hired Andy Buckley (David Wallace) precisely because he worked in wealth management at Merrill Lynch. Great call by Allison Jones

[@MattAlgren]

Not my favorite episode (there are so many great ones), but definitely the best storyline payoff episode

[@positivelynegative9149]

👍

[@MFSMUG]

David is a terrible CFO lol

[@ShaneSpear02]

My man held job interviews for Jan's job without bothering to fire her and get her away from the premises first lmao

[@jerodast]

David and Jan's competencies are sacrifices on the altar of The Show Must Go On. I could buy that maaybe a buyout was justified, but not just completely folding on ludicrous terms. To be fair, "a multimillion dollar buyout" isn't quite a fair comparison to the first offer - you're getting employees with that figure, not just clients. And Michael really does get shit done. (Pam...hm. We'll see...)

[@mizal7893]

I wish they went the David vs Goliath route. Im fine with how the show continued, but I think it would have been really cool for the show turn into a thing where Michael's business grows and he slowly starts taking more an more employees from Dunder Mifflin to the MIchael Scott paper company. Maybe at some point result in David Wallce working for him.
