If Michael Scott despises anything more than logical reasoning, financial restrictions, and farewells, it’s Toby Flenderson. Right from season 1 of The Office, Michael’s outright and inexplicable dislike for Dunder Mifflin’s most harmless employee is as absurd as it is hysterical. One of the most iconic Michael-Toby moments unfolds when Michael, ecstatic over Toby’s departure, is suddenly devastated upon realizing his nightmare isn’t over; Toby is back. And his reaction is pure comedic gold. With a look of unfiltered dread, he shouts, "Nooo! God, no!" and recoils as though Toby’s mere presence is an apocalyptic event.
