Steve Carell's Michael Scott from The Office is one of the most iconic comic characters in the history of television. 

While Michael's antics in each episode of the series might seem like they've been blown out of proportion, especially, with the conference room gimmicks, accidental offensiveness among other bizarre managing practices, at the end of the day, most of can relate to it. 

And besides that, just the fact that Michael tried his best every day to live up to the self-designated âWorldâs Best Bossâ hits closer to home. 

While The Office ended back in 2013, the mockumentary does leave us with iconic quotes from Michael Scott that are funny, insightful, and worth bookmarking.
