15 most popular Michael Scott quotes from The Office

4. “I’m an early bird and I’m a night owl so I’m wise and I have worms.”

Nothing illustrates Michael’s lovable ignorance than this statement right here. He clearly misses things the rest of us get very easily, and it’s hilarious how he can manage to say the wrong thing in such a hilariously satisfying manner. It’s safe to assume Michael never had worms, but he definitely had a greatest hit when he uttered that line.

5. “The worst thing about prison was the Dementors. They were flying all over the place and they were scary and they’d come down and they’d suck the soul out of your body and it hurt!”

One of Michael’s many alter egos from his time on The Office, Prison Mike, coined this beauty of a quote when trying to upstage an actual convicted felon who everyone at The Office couldn’t stop talking about. Dementors are no joking matter and let’s just all be thankful poor Prison Mike never actually had to deal with them and just feel fortunate that this moment happened that we can all relive it over and over again.

6. “I am Beyoncé, always.”

It’s hard to believe that Michael would end up being the mistress in a love triangle, but it definitely happened. This ordeal prompted Andy bernard to try an attempt to show Michael the error of his ways by comparing his situation to the movie Obsessed starring a certain actress of unprecedented royalty. But Andy doesn’t match her up with Michael in the comparison which doesn’t sit well with Scott, who quickly corrects the Cornell graduate with a reminder that if anyone in The Office is going to be Beyonce, it’s going to be Michael.
