Michael Scott is an arrogant, narcissistic ass whom Steve Carrell plays to precision. And I just love episodes in which he is humiliated, insulted and figuratively gets his ass kicked. So it was in The Golden Ticket and The New Boss, both of which I believe aired last month, in March. For The Golden Ticket, I was laugh-out-loud dying at his embarrassment, anger and humiliation. In The New Boss, not only is the new boss all-business and take-no-prisoners, he gets into a power struggle with Michael. Of course Michael is all-fun-and-games (Party Planning Committee) and is grossly inappropriate in terms of dealing with black people, especially bosses, so it's even funnier.
