Logical arguments: ineffective Drawing a triangle: devastating

@djr4yman

I love how he argues anyone's point adamantly but trusts Jim's judgement with a simple proof.

@deeeznuuuts

I love how Jim always knows exactly how to click with mike

@andresperedo1275

In real life, if you prove to someone that is wrong, that person gets mad at you. Props to Micheal to react in the right way

@PsycheAnimus

It's not a pyramid scheme. It's a multi- level marketing system.

@wimpwampwomp

I love how Jim draws the triangle, like he's tired and it's happened before, but not that often

@krystalfan

its not a "pyramid scheme" its a "triangle of opportunity"

@Shadowfax-1980

0:59 Oscar’s glance at Jim as if to say, “Do you want to draw the pyramid or should I do it?”

@610Hobbies

Moral of the story: when someone tells you something is NOT a pyramid scheme, it totally is.

@armaniedwards

In my marketing class, we were assigned a presentation on pyramid schemes so we showed this video as part of our presentation lol.

@Amans1214

The delivery of the line "I have to go make a call" is so brilliant. I lose it every time I hear it.

@mandlenkosishandu

DON'T WORRY ABOUT PHIL, HE DRIVES A CORVETTE HE IS DOING JUST FINE

@satrickptar6265

How to look out for a pyramid scheme: Your old classmate, that you barely talked to, texted you for investement.

@sohampal8772

0:38 Stanley's look is priceless..😂😂😂

@christophersmith8272

Interesting fun fact, I own the pyramid drawing from this scene in a custom picture frame I bought from the NBC auction a few years back.

@jh1328

I love how when Michael mentions Phil’s Corvette, Dwight takes that down as a note.

@TheBehm08

defeated Micheal: “I have to go make a call” 😂

@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis

Steve Carell is such a good actor. He can convey a point or an email motion with a simple facial expression. His timing is amazing and the tone of voice and look says it all.

@Cretinsahoppin

Toby doesn't even respect Nigerian royalty 🙄 He really is the worst.

@yashwinning

Micheal failing to understand the negative connotation of "get rich quick scheme" is the best and most underrated part of this bit.
