The annual Dundie Awards, Michael Scott’s most beloved tradition, were his way of celebrating the office’s best (and worst) traits. Held at Chili’s, this low-budget, high-enthusiasm event saw Michael handing out trophies for ridiculous categories like 'Whitest Sneakers' and 'Hottest in the Office.' Even with the secondhand embarrassment, there’s something oddly touching about Michael’s unwavering mission to make his coworkers feel 'special' in the most ridiculous ways. His tone-deaf song parodies, painfully awkward speeches, and desperate attempt to turn the event into an Oscar-worthy night prove just how much he craves being the center of attention.
