Thought 'Dinner Party' Was The Office's Cringiest Episode? You Forgot This Gem
Basically, cringe humor is the best thing about The Office, but sometimes the show would outdo itself.
Some episodes of The Office are really hard to watch, but in a good way (if you are a fan of the show, you understand). However, while certain episodes, such as Dinner Party and Scott's Tots, are the classic cringe-worthy episodes of The Office, others are unfairly overlooked.
According to fans, Booze Cruise is as cringe-worthy in a good way as Dinner Party was with its monologue about candle making. With Michael desperately trying to steal the spotlight as "party captain," everyone else just had to smile through the pain and watch. Or, like Jim, bet their paychecks on Michael screaming that he's the king of the world while doing a Titanic pose on a ship.
From the dancing boss to Jim and Pam's awkward tension as they flee the party, pretty much everything in this episode hurts — but yeah, in a good way.
But there's one thing that outweighs the cringe, and it's probably hidden in the last few minutes of the episode.
"Booze cruise has redeemable moments in it that Scott's Tots just doesn't. Michael talking to Jim about his crush on Pam almost single handedly saves the episode," Redditor AdSpiritual2594 noted.
With Michael trying so hard to be the best motivational speaker of the night, isn't it kind of ironic that he managed to do it when he wasn't even trying? And to think all he had to do was "sink the ship".
The eleventh episode of the second season, Booze Cruise aired on NBC in 2006, becoming the seventeenth episode of the series.
