Read on as they take sides over which Michael Scott situation is hardest to watch.

And, Darren, it gets worse.
DARREN:Disturbing indeed, Kristen, to see the collective ruination of youthful hopes for the future.
But Jean-Paul Sartre said that hell is other people.
I assume that quote comes from Sartres recap of Dinner Party.
It becomes a running terror joke how often Jan and Michael say Babe?
And the vasectomies, Kristen, the vasectomies!
KRISTEN:Im cringing even just reading about Dinner Party, Darren.
(Hey, Mr. Scott!
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do/ Make our dreams come true!)
But thats not all!
By the time Michael finally (finally!)
I cant take it!
Dinner Party similarly circles the drain of a very simple revelation: Michael and Jan hate each other.
I cant prove it, Michael whispers, but I think she might be trying to poison me.
Theyre poisoning each other emotionally, and we watch their corrosion play out like horrifically personal dinner theater.
Except theres no dinner, Kristen, because Jans osso bucco needs three hours to braise.
Thankfully, Dinner Party runs only 22 minutes, just long enough to cook this bad romances goose.
