One of Michael Scott's most comically unintentional moments in The Office is when he quite literally grills himself. As he explains, he enjoys waking up to the aroma of bacon, so he keeps a grill next to his bed. But one morning, he accidentally steps on it, badly burning his foot. Michael then turns his minor injury into an office-wide spectacle, limping throughout the day and ensuring that his coworkers acknowledge his suffering. This fiasco is the peak Michael Scott moment, a breakfast-in-bed gone terribly wrong, that never stops being funny no matter how many times you rewatch it.
