Friends Or The Office US Quotes Quiz: Who Said It - Chandler Bing Or Michael Scott?
Which lovable goofball has the better punchlines?
Michael Scott draws all of the plaudits in the US re-invention of The Office with Steve Carrell portraying the train-wreck of a character perfectly. Swapping the Wernham Paper Co for Dunder-Mifflin, Carell has managed to imprint his own unique signature on the re-envisioned David Brent, and in turn has helped create a modern day classic.
Scott’s idiotic antics and desperate need to be liked are reminiscent of Chandler Bing – the original funny guy.
Chandler graced the screen in the late-nineties to the mid-noughties, and created an archetype for all sitcoms to follow. Every show needs a ‘Chandler’, but many shows have failed to replicate the success Matthew Perry had with Friends.
It’s refreshing to see a modern Chandler-esqe character in Michael Scott flourish in a more modern environment. But just how different are these two characters? Can you tell them apart from their quotes alone?
