9. Season 3, Episode 20: Safety Training
Safety Training follows Michael’s never-ending quest to earn respect from his peers. He embarks on a mission to prove to the warehouse team that he undergoes similar stress to a person operating heavy machinery.

Michael goes to the roof to prove his point to the warehouse employees and ends up feeling depressed and being talked down. Stanley’s car ends up as collateral damage in Michael’s fake jump onto a trampoline. Here is a section of a conversation from Safety Training.
Darryl: Mike, you’re a very brave man. I mean, it takes courage just to be you. To get out of bed every single day, knowing full well, you got to be you.
Michael: Do you really mean that?
Darryl: I couldn’t do it. I am not that strong, and I am not that brave.
8. Season 3, Episode 1: Gay Witch Hunt
This season three premiere is remembered for Michael’s handling of Oscar, one of the company’s employees. He called out Oscar’s sexuality in front of other workers and then tried to make everything okay with him through an awkward kiss.

The fact that Michael chose to revisit his film-making endeavors right before leaving Dunder Mifflin makes Threat Level Midnight one of the top office episodes.
6. Season 2 Episode 12: The Injury
What is the funniest episode of The Office? The answer is most likely The Injury. It begins with Michael’s panic after burning his foot on his George Foreman grill while cooking bacon in bed.
He then goes on to explain the circumstances surrounding his injury in such assured logic that it seems alright to make bacon at your bedside. Besides being one of the funniest The Office episodes, The Injury also marks the point where Michael realizes that he cannot rely on his officemates in his time of need.

The episode was named after Michael’s annual award ceremony. The Dundies marked another step towards a relationship between Pam and Jim.

The Office fans will agree that Michael used to terrorize his employees with his lack of self-awareness and utter ineffectiveness. However, through every good and bad moment, he was part of the office family at Dunder Mifflin.
The episode was well-written, with the best being Michael’s sadness in leaving his friends at Dunder Mifflin. He chose not to announce his departure until the day he was leaving.
