THE OFFICE “Michael’s Last Dundies” Season 7 Episode 21 – I’m not going to lie, I cried at THE OFFICE this week. There were definite tears, and if this is how I was over Michael’s almost departure, I can’t imagine how I’m going to be next week.
Like the title suggests, this week on The Office, Michael hosted his last Dundie awards. The episode began with Michael and Deangelo (does anyone else think Will Ferrell had the opportunity to pick his character name and selected the most RANDOM thing he could think of?) dropping off Dundie nominations to everyone’s house at 6AM just “like the Oscars”.
After a few horrible wake up calls (Meredith’s house cracked me up, I knew it was her house the second they pulled up in front of it), the Dundies are underway. BUT – there’s an issue. Deangelo doesn’t do that well co-hosting with Michael, and after a string of events, the gang gets kicked out of the restaurant and have to relocate the awards show back in the conference room.
Which is where my tears came in. Instead of the Dundies being continued using Michael’s theme, everyone in the office turns the tables and sings to him. Now, I’m a massive (like mildly obsessed) Rent fan, which is the song that was used in this scene, so that could be way I was HIGHLY in love with it.
Regardless, the song was fantastic and a really, REALLY touching moment of the entire series.
I’m still not loving Will Ferrell, but I understand that this could be a personal preference because I’m not that big of a Will Ferrell fan to begin with. However, I do think that there is almost too much focus on him when these last episodes should focus on Michael.
My favorite bits:
I think “Michael’s Last Dundies” was a great addition to The Office… I’m going to be sad to see him go! What are your thoughts?
