* RedundantRomanceAttempt: Unaware that he's being romantically set up, he's quirkily joking his way into the heart of Pam and Jim's friend. When Michael learns the truth, he exits the bar, unbuttons the top button of his shirt, puts on a backwards hat, and re-enters as "Date Mike," whose antics are so obnoxious the girl leaves early.

** This becomes much more notable with the second season; [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness during the first]], Michael's hair is seemingly thin and slicked back and he's often seen sans suit jacket in larger shirts that make him seem quite a bit bulkier than he is. By the second season his hair is fuller, he looks healthier and even younger overall and the choice in suits fit him better and make him look slimmer. In their podcast, Creator/AngelaKinsey and Creator/JennaFischer note that this was due to Creator/SteveCarell getting in shape and hitting it big with Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin, a film in which Carell's co-stars ironically remark that he doesn't ''look'' forty..

* CampStraight: He's slim and almost always wears suits, which an old video shows to have been true since he was a child. In high school, the majority of his peers assumed that he was gay due to his mannerisms and unusual interest in his appearance.

* CampStraight: He's slim very conscious about his appearance, wearing nice suits and almost always wears suits, staying in shape, which an old video shows coupled with his flamboyance, his being a middle-aged bachelor and his aforementioned interest in Ryan might lead him to get pegged as gay, except he's linked with numerous women over the course of the series. Interestingly, this seems to have been true a lifelong trait, since we see him in a suit with slicked-back hair in the video of him on a TV show when he was a child. In child, and Phyllis says that in high school, the majority of his peers assumed that he was gay due to his mannerisms and unusual interest in his appearance. However, in "Gay Witch Hunt" he makes [[DumbassHasAPoint the excellent point]] that, as an extreme AttentionWhore, if he ''were'' gay he'd be very CampGay.

* BigEater: Though it doesn't come up a lot, Michael has a surprisingly big appetite. Once eating an entire ''family size'' chicken pot pie for lunch, and downing a sweet pretzel covered in ''18'' different toppings.

While David Brent is ''just barely'' tolerated by the people at the office, who all harbor some level of disdain for him, the people at Dunder Mifflin genuinely do like Michael, though to varying degrees, even if they're frequently annoyed by his antics.
