Did I Stutter? (#4.12)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 7 January 2019]

Stanley disrespects Michael and he tries to deal with it.

The main story is the one thing fun about this episode. Although so is Jim getting a warning from Ryan. But I think the highlight for me was Michael coming to Darryl for advice on gangs.

Very nice episode, a lot to learn from this one. It shows that you can't always be respected but when you're in higher position you must be treated right.

Stanley's speech to Michael

[jimbenben · 5 May 2008]

Oh man, is there any way to get a transcript of Stanley's speech putting-down Michael? Stanley nailed him upside and down. I would love to have that speech ready to go for my own boss...someday, sometime.

Plot-wise, I thought this was an important episode. As much as I love the show, it often passes the point where I find myself thinking, "Oh, come on. Michael would be SO fired in the real world for that" or "Those employees can't possibly have such low self-esteem to put up with it." This episode with Stanley helped make sense of that. Also, the actor who plays Stanley was simply brilliant in delivering those lines.

Different way to look the problem, depend on your work position

If you are a boss/business owner you gonna respect how Michael handle the situation. If you are an employee, you got to be relieved finally Stanley confront Michael. If you have good perspective you will appreciate this episode in every way

Meh

[cervantes-4 · 10/10 · 13 November 2022]

Meh ... I think Andy got a good deal & Dwight will never be able to resell the Xterra. Been there, done that (but it was with a Yugo). What was most frustrating about this episode was leaving us hanging when Michael cleared the conference room except for Phyllis after she disrespected his summer Xmas concept. How he handled her is left up in the air resulting in yet another lost opportunity to instruct the audience because, after all, it could happen to any one of us, either as the doer or the doee. Come to think of it, I don't know why Stanley's retort to Michael 'Was I stuttering?' should be considered such a big deal. I have a slight problem there I often use that phrase.

Stand up for your girlfirend

Why doesn't Jim ever tell Michael off when he harasses Pam? Everyone knows they're going out so he really should stand up for her

Stanley demonstrates insubordination and Michael confronts him. Stanley tells Michael he doesn't respect him.
