The brilliance (and sadness) of The Office

I just caught The Office's "Scranton Rap" from a few seasons ago on TV. Classic. While this rap is The Office at its best, the episode (in which employees, including Jim, of Dunder-Mifflin's Stamford branch come to work in Scranton) exhibits the repressed-memory sadness of the ever desperate Michael Scott. As buffoonish as he is, there's a deep, clinical case smoldering.
