Is he race-ycling?
CredibleInformant
I'm sure no one asked you to do that
Aleashofkeys
Great Scott!
mmartin762
lmao A for effort michael
CynicalEuropean
Why don't they recycle? I thought all civilised places did. Oh - that will explain it
kdl3000
I’m rewatching for the 100th time ?my partner thinks there is something wrong with me
MichaelGenovese
The follow up line makes this even better, "8 years!"
DrFrederickFrankenstein
In an earlier season you can see Whites & Color recycling bins near the shelves while Micheal crawls around on the ground
Nightcaste
You would think a paper company would be all about it
DougDeNasty
More, inkjet or laser print though. Inkjet ink screws up the machines

The weird thing, is during my school years, we did separate paper based on plain white, or colours. I no longer remember why, though...
Ovunn
Wow I never noticed that! Haha perfect
Tarlon
Tbf recycling has been a lie this whole time (it was only matginally ptofitable due to China)
jridley
Metals recycling is still pretty good I think. everything else not so much.

I hope this is a joke
Nbdycares
Well no shit. But apparently you aren’t alone in your lack of humor.
GoldDragonHighLord2
gotta put the /s to indicate sarcasm or joke. lot of trolls on Imgur lately my dude,.
zcrcrow
you don't do much laundry, do you?
clonvermin
Why? You’re telling me the only reason you don’t believe in segregation is because we are people, and not clothes? /s
Nbdycares
Guess there was too much nuance for this crowd.
zcrcrow
you are correct. with the state of Imgur comments these days, all nuance died a long time ago. no hard feelings
clonvermin
On this site, buzzwords make people’s brains automatically turn off to logical thought and humor
Inarticulated
Didn't he say he'd been doing it for 8 years or something?
JimJamesJimothie
“8 years down the drain” I believe he said?

There’s an episode from a much earlier season where Michael is crawling on the ground and passes the bins marked “whites” and “colors”
poets
That's attention to detail
SinisterBillMurray
What a racist.
Flametide
The times he has been a little off the mark he always is shown to be corrected, and those are usually his cringiest moments.
Drfilip
More like laundry. Don't mix white with colours. Some (new) coloured fabrics can share their colour with other fabrics in the washer.
SinisterBillMurray
Yeah I got that. Was making a shitty joke.
gravyandfries
Uh... I’m supposed to separate them? Cause I’ve never done that and nothing bars happened yet.
HitlersRupturedColon
It depends on what you're washing. Like don't wash a tie dyed T shirt with ur whites the dye can ruin them
Drfilip
There are some dyes that are able to "leak". Most of them are DIY. After 1st wash of new item it doesn't really matter any more.
BBQatCirces
I have a theory that this show hated its fans and wanted them uncomfortable, not entertained.
GnikNella
That’s British humour I’m afraid. Ricky gervais and Steve marchent are masters at it.
JeanLucPicard
Some people just love to laugh at the absurdity of human behaviour. That’s what most comedy is and what cringe comedy does ad absurdum
pattyymac
you should watch the Inbetweeners (the British version). That show THRIVES on making its viewers uncomfortable every episode.
adamSparkleFurlong
I have a theory that this is a documentary for most adult life.
ActionJohnnie
Watch the original version. That’s the entire intent.
mas0chist
Did you ever watch the Original? That was uncomfortable.
vorolorbitron
It was cringe comedy at its finest.
Cortezdelanoche
True. i loved it when it was on the air. But the political correct climate of today makes me cringe everytime I watch it now. Cant do it.
BenBateman
I started off hating this show especially after the first couple seasons, I stuck around and watched to the end and ended up loving it
wadeissupercool
Ever get spanked during sex? Uncomfortable, but feels good at the same time. Some people like it, some don't.
mcfedr
If you really want to feel uncomfortable check out the British version
thebigbaka
Definitely sounds like Ricky Gervais
chiefrunswithscissors
I couldn't stand the office but he nailed the line between depressing cringe and loveable funny with "extras".
NSAgent
Scott’s. Tots.
Angrymechanic
I didnt see this one and commented the same exact episode
tigoisactuallymynameontheperiodictable
FUKYU350
That's British Humour for you.
BBQatCirces
It doesn't translate well. I'm a fan of British sitcoms generally.
Angrymechanic
You mean the Scotts tots episofe?
BBQatCirces
I mean the series.
Angrymechanic
To be fair
chiefrunswithscissors
Definitely agree for the gervais version. You're supposed to hate the characters. In the American version you learn to love them.
BBQatCirces
I never learned. They were all awful.
MarsIsAfire
Don't ever watch Arrested Development, Sunny in Philly, Broad City, Workaholics, or Schitt's Creek then! just off the top of my head...
chiefrunswithscissors
How much did you watch? Takes at least a season or 2 for the real character development to sink in
unnecessarycommapolice
You should see the original British version.

Get the guitar
PorneliusHubertII
1000% more akward
seededclouds
I can watch the US version but I couldn’t make it through a full episode of the British one.
WrongReference
I was the opposite. At least the British one is funny cringe. The US one just made me sad. That’s after watching season 3 mind you
Ithinkimbetterthanyousometimes
And it leaves you wanting more, not hoping for the original spark to return
Akurei00
I can't do the cringe. It's why I never cared for Meet the Parents. Every possible decision is just the worst case scenario.
WrongReference
But there’s something about the dry British humor that dampens the cringe. Michael Scott just made me sad that he exists. Idk
Ithinkimbetterthanyousometimes
Its creators are Gervais and Merchant, you have only scratched the surface lol
SailorJimmy
The original UK version. The US version decided to go for zaniness and looking at the camera in lieu of punchlines
Ithinkimbetterthanyousometimes
Ok but there were also a lot more US seasons. Let's not lie and say Tim didn't start looking at the camera before Jim
petrolhead1987
Because the US like to milk things dry. UK shows focus on quality over quantity.
Ithinkimbetterthanyousometimes
no arguments there
stupidpendous
Please elaborate on that? I’d like to hear more.
Misterdruglicious
Its cringe humor that is awkward if you saw it real life when mich had beep beep stress booper when stanley had heart attack, lift fat dude
MightestGlowCloud
Cringe humour. Like The Inbetweeners, great show but I can't watch it
Isometimestakethingsliterally
Scott's tots.
OverthoughtUnderedited
Ugh.
SillyMistMaker
You gave me a goosebump
youreablurb
I’ve seen the whole show countless times, and I still die a little inside every time that episode comes on
somepoorjerk
This episode is my single least favorite episode of any show I’ve ever watched.

I literally hate that

DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
It's a sound theory but I think the point was taking all the stereotypes of the work place and exaggerating them... Which is mostly negative
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
But then you inject each character with their own likeable arc to give them happiness. So there's no growth that's earned they just stumbled
ThomMeowrke
Isn't this kinda the reality around us at a smaller scale? Nobody is wholly good or bad, just a few arcs that make us so
DrDoALittleMoreThanBareMinimum
On to all the good things that get. That's why it's so funny but also so hard to say any character is good... They can't be negative
