The fight between Michael and the new regional manager that caused Michael to quit made you feel physically uncomfortable at Michael's immaturity. The time that Michael visited his former boss who he greatly admired and they ended up in the hot tub while discussing new business ideas was really well handled and just weird.

I don't like how Michael is basically just a teenager in a grown man's body. It doesn't really feel awkward to me as when David Brent does something because he's just a grown man who is an slimeball/idiot...and all the characters being too wierd-cutesy as part of the base comedy doesn't work for me. They just pop up to add in wierd interviews to say strange things like Creed appearing to insert some reference to drugs and the 60s or Stanley appearing to give his Stanley face.
That kind of show is much more suited to a zany comedy that knows it's being partly surreal like 30 Rock than the mockumentary style.
