The Best of Michael and Pam's (Extremely Wholesome) Friendship | The Office U.S. | Comedy Bites

[@therealjuuha]

The art gallery scene is probably the best in the series. Always makes me teary eyed.

[@yanx7483]

Yes, that's why I love when she quits to go with Michael

[@brrrrrrrrino]

That and when she runs to say bye at the airport 😭

[@GuacIsExtra99]

When she asked if he had something in his pocket lmao

[@No_Fun_Allowed]

The scene represents the genius of the writers. They make Michael look like an incompetent man child who never should have any responsibility so when he acts mature, wise and like an actual leader it caries way more of an impact. On top of all that they change things from a joke to a wholesome moment so smoothly it’s unbelievable how well it works out

[@eiimy19]

pam being the only one who went with michael when he left dunder mifflin is still my favorite

[@actingartwork]

I always saw Pam as Michael's guardian angel. Here are a few scenes that I can readily think of that really highlight this: 1.) During the bird funeral when she makes sure to let everyone (Michael, specifically) know that the bird did not die alone. 2.) When they are doing the lecture circuit together at the other branches and she agrees to go to Nashua so that he can have closure with Hollie. 3.) Upon Hollie's return during the Christmas party, Michael has lost all hope with her and he leaves the party, Pam chases him into the parking lot to tell him about Hollie's ultimatum to A.J. to give him hope.

[@jenniferwhite2945]

Also on that circuit when Pam reads the letter Holly wrote to Michael but never sent...and let him know there was still hope for them (it's not over) 🙂

[@dancingspeed]

There's also the paper company storyline! Pam was the only one who followed Michael when he wanted to start his company. She kept Michael going when he didn't believe in himself. After the first failed investor's presentation, when Pam freaked out, it triggered Michael's serious and capable businessman self. He reassured her that he thrives the most when people don't believe in him and it got things going for them.

[@gbaygoogle]

Also when she sometimes still stays on the line when she transfers calls so he doesn't do ridiculous greetings

[@eandrad00]

Yes the art gallery scene. But the part where she goes with him when michael gets fired was really unexpected to me.

[@redwardranger7034]

Say what you will about Pam (it's kinda annoying at this point but people are entitled to their opinions) but Pam's friendships with Michael, Angela and Dwight are quite amazing, especially with Dwight.

[@riase]

See, Michael wasn't the only one of her colleagues coming to the art show. Oscar was there too.

[@blupercs729]

yea but he went for his brother mostly right? Unless he didn’t. I totally forgot

[@abdulgani.45]

[@raiooh]

i saw someone say that - the art scene gave Pam all the more reason to leave Dunder Mifflin for MS Paper Co., later on. She believed in him when no one else did, cause he did the same for her. ♥️

[@carlapsalms2334]

Oscar and Michael not getting credit for going to her art show .. "why didnt any of you come to my art show..?"

[@encycl07pedia-]

I don't understand how people just judge art, like actual paintings, like it's something objective. I mean yeah, if a stapler looks like a beetle, I can understand the confusion and critique, but Gil criticizing Pam for painting ordinary office stuff is the epitome of haughtiness. Courage and honesty? There's nothing honest about finding beauty in something as simple as a cup of tea or coffee or a stapler? There's nothing courageous about putting your artwork out for random nobodies to pass judgment on?

[@McLeod2022]

"motel art" hurt for all the right/wrong reasons

It’s been said many times, but the art gallery scene. One of the best scenes on tv.

[@rajithmaligaspe]

A scene I always see missing from these Michael-Pam compilations is from season 5 when Pam freaks out in the car about her impulse decision to leave dunder Mifflin and Michael calmingly reassures her and asks her to have some faith in him. It's a criminally underrated scene and it really adds another layer to their friendship

[@victorsaldarriaga105]

Pam was the only one in the office who believed in Michael when he was gone. She was there for him all the time.

[@dancingspeed]

Seeing Pam upset triggered something in him and switched on his kickass salesman mode.

Their friendship is so sweet, and wholesome, and inspiring... I love the development of their relationship. In the beginning, she's unhappy with the way he tries to force his way into her life. And by the end, she's happy he was. Sometimes that's how real friendships must be made.

The fact that it’s only Pam and Michael’s cars in the lot in the drawing. They were there for each other at the very low moments.

[@literallyjuststairs6765]

I like to think that Michael actually has a lot of serious, heartwarming moments with all his employees but he never lets the camera crew film them because he wants to be seen as the "funny guy" when the documentary airs

Despite all of the inappropriate things Michael has done and how much stress he may cause in the office he deeply cared about all of the people in the office and truly loved them like they where family especially Pam. He was the best boss anyone could have.

Michael showed up in Pam's gallery and Pam showed up for Michael scott paper company. 🙂❤️

[@MrCTruck]

Gil says its motel art like it's a bad thing. Not everyone can be Picasso, and if there were, the expression would be meaningless because it means no one is exceptional. Although Pam isn't exceptional at painting, there's a market for, and, a value to motel art, sometimes you just need something calming to look at while you're ODing on heroin in a scrabby motel in a small Pennsylvania deindustrialized town

It's so wholesome how Michael comes in and is just so genuinely floored by Pam's art. I love how he's also just like "How much. I have to have it for the office." She really needed to feel supported.

[@sfappetrupavelandrei]

Why? It's not like he told her to her face or mocked her. He tried to be understanding. I mean Pam had basically an emotional affair with Jim while being with a guy she knew is not for her in those times.

Because Oscar is a stuck up and thinks he is better than everyone else

[@Unbearableweightofwisdom]

I don’t know, when Michael came and appreciated Pam’s work when Oscar said this “isn’t her strong side” my heart just melted. I saw these little moving moments irl when someone just doesn’t let your spark to extinguish and helps with just words of support so u can keep going… it always brings back the faith in kindness and gives a good example how you can help people in such situations. I cant think of any character would have been a better couple of friends apart from Michael and Pam to show the development of relationships throughout the show.
