The Office: “The Deposition”
Posted on 11.16.07 by John Paulsen @ 3:01 pm

Michael Scott is great under oath. Not great in the way that he answers questions correctly, but great as in hilarious. I loved all the little interjections he had:

“That’s what she said.”
“They hang off m’lady’s chest.”
“I will allow it.”
“I throw myself at the mercy of the deposition.”

I feel bad for Toby. He tried to open up at lunch but Michael responded by pushing his tray off the table. I still don’t know why Michael hates him so much, though it probably didn’t help that Toby asked for a copy of Michael’s journal. I hope that they do a flashback episode someday that explains the vast chasm between them. There is some good comic potential there.

Back at the office it was all about ping-pong. Kelly was this episode’s Most Valuable Character with all of her smack (not trash) talk and her version that Avril Lavigne song:

“Hey Hey I I don’t like your boyfriend / be-cause he he can’t play any ping-pong”

Of course, when she and Pam took over the table, they couldn’t even rally for serve.

All in all, it was a pretty good episode. The thought of Michael under oath still makes me laugh.

Was that Dwight and Moes playing table tennis at the end?

“All of my heroes are table tennis players.”

One Response to “The Office: “The Deposition””

  • J Rose says:

    I believe the animosity Michael has for Toby stems from Toby’s HR position, which has forced him into the role of killjoy for all of Michael’s crazy plans from the early days of the show.

    As you mentioned, that subtle rift has developed into a great comedic bit between the two, which the writers have expanded on over these past couple of seasons.

    Speaking of…it’s a repeat tonight…writers, please come back!
