The absolute nadir of this show is when everyone dances down the aisle at Jim and Pam’s wedding. Pure torture. I hate it so much. |

It's a weird moment that is ruined by virtue of The Office fully embracing the truth of Michael Scott. It's one of the most paradoxical things I've witnessed. |

Ultimately, I have to love it because of the paradoxical quality and the way it's embraced. But I do think it's weird. |

Oh! I forgot. So, that scene is actually based on this: That video went viral years ago and all of those people were invited onto like good morning america or something to talk about it. Im 99% sure that is why the office did that. Also, the guy at the 1:10 mark is a friend of mine. |

No, you’re right. Jim mentions it in the episode. |

Basically, I think good TV writing is character driven. The jokes/references/etc should always come from character. And in this scene the joke comes from character. Michael Scott saw the YouTube video and decided to recreate it. That's a quintessential Michael Scott moment/joke. It's inherently character driven. Which is something I value and think is important. However, paradoxically, the character driven moment here actually hurts the scene. It would be a better moment if it wasn't based on a real-life YouTube moment. But that's also the joke! So, the writers did the right thing by crafting a joke that is inherently character driven and consistent with the Michael Scott we've been given over the last 6 years. BUT it also DOESN'T work because of the reference to pop-culture. It's a rare moment when the writers did the right thing but it also doesn't work. There are a million ways that the scene could have gone and could have worked. For me that's a writer's paradox. It's exactly the kind of thing I want from good writers but it's also the very thing that makes it awful. |
