I also don’t understand the Pam hate. She’s not a perfect (fictional) person, but she grows so much throughout the show. Her goodbye to Michael was amazing.

my favorite moment of this episode is when pam catches up to michael at the airport. both actors knew they weren’t going to be mic’d up for the scene so they were able to share a heartwarming moment between the two

Did you notice...CREED!! lmao stole Michael's worlds best boss coffee mug lmao 9:52

I love Gabe. He's a creepy weasel and I love to see it.

Something you may not have noticed is that Phillys gave some mittens to Michael way back in season 2 in the Christmas exchange. And Michael was a jerk about it because he wanted an iPod. Here, Michael makes up for it, appreciating the mittens even though they weren’t even finished

Bye, Michael. 🥺

Who hates Pam?? I love her!

I love Pam! She and Michael had a sweet relationship as well as Erin.

There's still a lot of things to enjoy about this show moving forward, but it's definitely never the same without Michael, imo. I think it's definitely worth continuing, but if you find yourself dropping off at some point, it's a show worth re-watching at some point. I've rewatched it probably 6 times now and it makes you laugh every single time

The little head nod from Jim and Dwight when Micheal left symbolises how they will carry the rest of the show, also when Dwight says “oh,no” and the camera is on those 2.

All through the week of shooting this episode, various cast and crew would have tears. John Krasinski psyched himself up not to cry during his final scene with Steve in Michael's office, and immediately started sobbing as soon as "Action" was called. It took him and Carell 17 takes to get that scene done, as neither one of them could make it through without crying.

Great sendoff for Michael Scott. Post-breakup Gabe is scary. D'Angelo is a mess.

Yes, this really got you in the feels. Jenna Fisher said that they exchanged their love for each other as friends during the airport goodbye. When they were shooting the pilot, Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fisher became close. Steve Carrell saw them laughing with each other, and said to them that even if the show didn’t continue, the most important thing was the friendship they gained. Their Office Ladies podcast is absolutely great. As is their book about The Office.

Youre an Andy and Dwight fan like me. Youre gonna love the final seasons...then hate it...then LOVE how it ends. Enjoy the ride sir..

Just FYI, bull testicles are also known as mountain oysters.

Michael is definitely missed. I myself enjoy the last few episodes of this season and I really liked season 8. I hope you do too Jimmy.

Such an amazing episode that it’s insane to me how bad the final scene with Will Farrell eating the cake and screaming at it is. Dwight and Jim literally saying uh oh is like such a meta bad way to end this era when fans were already worried about the show without Michael 😭

This one hits every time.

My favorite heartwarming moment of the episode is that Pam had to buy a ticket and go through security to catch up to Michael. That's beautiful.

Creed didn’t wash his hands.

I really don't think the dip in quality hits until next season. Even without Michael the rest of this season is solid, especially the two part finale and the episode before that. Some of the best Creed moments of the whole show. There was a good amount of turnover on the writing/production side between the end S7 and the beginning of S8 so it's not even just that Steve's gone, several things feel different. There are still solid moments and it's absolutely worth it to finish the series, but it will feel a bit different

I like the rest of it. I hope you continue the whole thing. Don't get turned off. In fact, the second half of season 9 is very fun IMO.

This was a good way to send Micheal off plus they got the feeling of him having second thoughts abt leaving perfect. I remember back in summer 2018 my friend told me to give this show a chance but don’t get attached to Micheal but I love the fact that my friend told me to give this show a chance and when Micheal left I was kinda upset although I only knew Micheal for like a week b/c I binged this whole series in one week and weekend 😂

This episode is probably the best ending for the series, but I would keep watching. There’s quite a bit more great office ahead.

I stopped for a year at this episode. But when I was ready😂 I finished it and I enjoyed it.

You should read upon the last scene between Michael and Jim . It was very hard for the actors to film this scene as it was basically their real last goodbye 😢

I do NOT feel bad for Gabe.

When I first watched this, I didn’t know Michael had left the show in real life and was expecting him to reappear at some point. Sadly, I don’t really recall much of the last seasons because of this. Show definitely ended when Michael left

I know a lot of people stop watching after Michael leaves, which is so weird to me. Season 8 is a little odd, but it brings in one of my favorite characters and season 9 is actually one of my favorites as a whole. Yes, Michael was amazing ofc, but because we had him, a lot of other characters weren't given the screen time they deserve. In season 8 and 9 we get so much more of them and i love it.

6:05 Creed paid dearly to go #2 in the women’s bathroom. Gabe did not

They send off the show right at the end. Also the next boss is great imo

The show probably shoulda have ended here, but the later seasons definitely have some good laughs still and some good characters. When I rewatch the office, I don't skip the post-Michael episodes.

The Wailing reminder SIR

It's def not awful moving forward - it loses a little magic because Micael can be the worst and the best at the same time, and now you need multiple characters to take on that role - but the writing is still solid, and there are still new characters to look forward to!

Siempre que lo veo, lloro

oh damn. How'd this make it to youtube before Patreon?

Creed took michaels cup

There's some great deleted scenes for this one. Just look up 'Stanley's hentai'. It's... something.

Yeaaa

Where were you on September 11th?

This should’ve been the last episode of the show. Don’t even have to get rid of the Will Ferrell cake scene at the end because it shows Dunder Mifflin will be stuck in a constant cycle of bad/unhinged bosses.

I'm going to give the hottest take ever. The series should have ended with Michael Scott's farewell. Specifically when he asked "Let me know if this airs?".

I couldn’t watch the show past this point, Michael was my favourite character so I had trouble with motivation to keep going.

IMO the michael & pam at the airport scene is the last scene of the show, & it always will be the last scene in my heart...we, who cant stand seasons 8 & 9 are sometimes called "not real office fans, but merely *michael* fans" ...well, the people who say that are mostly netflix era fans who binged the entire series in a month or two...we OG fans watched since early 2005 for 7 long years, & yes, obviously we got attached to michael in all that time...he made season 7 epic & then he was gone, just *poof* , after 7 years, so, the insensitive people who blew thru the series in weeks can eat a bag of D's....our experiences watching the show were *not* the same.....we had to wait all summer for the cliffhangers, we had to wait thru the writers' strike of 2008 for dinner party to air...we experienced it all differently, & those rude peeps cant see that can go to h3ll.

For all intents and purposes, the show ended with this episode. Don't waste your time on the last two seasons.

I personally stopped watching after Michael left. He IS the office 😢

Vuelvo y lo repito mis temporadas favoritas son las 7 8 y 9. Y mi episodio favorito de toda la serie es la fiesta en la piscina de la temporada 8. Ese episodio me sacó Lágrimas de 😂

Don’t hate Pam, but Karen was better in many ways
