NBC’s The Office is full of classic, hilarious moments, and it’s hard to pick a favorite from a series heralded as one of the funniest on TV during the 2000s. Steve Carell was particularly great as Michael Scott and was able to produce some of TV’s best moments, one of which was replicated in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Reddit user link_skywalker44 posted an image to the official Reddit page for Animal Crossing: New Horizons showing a reproduction of a scene from The Office. In the scene, which takes place in a conference room, Michael Scott is pretending to be a prisoner to reprimand his employees, among which one compared their company, Dunder Mifflin, to prison.
He does so in order to demonstrate what prison is actually like, though his “Prison Mike” getup ultimately comes off as cheesy and unconvincing. The image of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ version of this can be seen below.
As in the show, the villager, who is supposed to be Michael Scott, wears a purple bandana and navy blue suit. He has the silly expression on his face that Steve Carell employs as Michael Scott in front of an audience of animals in a conference room identical to the room in The Office.
The attention to detail is fairly impressive here, though the villager’s expression can hardly match the passion behind Prison Mike’s full warning.
