In the very first episode ofOffice,Steve Carell'S Michael Scott asksJenna Fischer'S wad to put a fax that has just passed in "the special workbook for business things", which means that the trash can. When he asks for fax, what he actually answered - again later, he explains that he took the joke of someone near him.

Then there is no more discussion of Michael's brothers and sisters up to season 2 "email monitoring". In this episode, Michael mentions a brother again, the same brother who taught him the joke of the workbook or another.

"When people hear the term" big brother ", they immediately think that it's bad or scary," says Michael. "I do not do it. I think "wow, I love my big brother." "

In addition, in season 4, "Dundler Mifflin Infinity", refers to a "fake brother", a.k.a. A currency student who lived with his family for a while.

"And we called it my brother," he says. "And that's what I thought he was. Uh, then he returned home to what's now formerly Yugoslavia, taking all my blue jeans with him. And I had to spend all the winter in shorts. C is what Ryan is like. a fake brother who steals your jeans. "

Being that Michael seems to have stopped thinking about this non-name student as his brother after Jeans incident, it's unlikely that he is the same "brother" mentioned in these other cases.

For more than Michael-ISMS, checkMichael Scott quotes that each "office" fan should have memorize.

The only problem with these lines is that we never see these brothers without name or hear nothing else about them. Since Michael is so piloted by the idea of ​​the family and shares so much of his personal life (too, really) with his colleagues, who seems a little strange.

Michael has a half-sister who fans learn more. It does not appear on the show, but Marnie Cooper is the mother of her nephew Luke (Evan Peters), that Michael hires as an assistant. They have a private story though; Michael has been separated from his relatives of the family for years, after having accidentally lost a young Luke in a forest. (It's a long story.)

So, what should we do with these missing brothers? Is it a plot hole? Is it a story that the writers of the show simply chose not to explore? Anyway, it seems that a missed opportunity to lose more light on Michael's tragicomic background.

There is evidence to argue that both brothers references are just jets of jets that later get errors when writers have chosen not to give Michael more brothers and sisters. The line on the cabinet joke in the first episode, for example, is taken directly from the U.K. original version ofOffice, in whichRicky Gervais'David Brent gives the same excuse. And the quote "Big Brother" may not have been reality. It is clear enough on the show that Michael has an active imagination, especially when it comes to dreaming a different life for himself.

With Office out of the air, it is unlikely to get a further explanation unless fans do not succeed in SITCOM RIVER . So, do not hesitate to constitute your own canon head on the brothers of Michael - or simply the chalk of an unintended error.
