Michael Scott in Mass Effect is the chaotic energy that Normandy always needed

“Would I rather be feared or loved?”

Decorated veteran, first human Spectre, savior of the earth – these are qualities that Michael Scott does not share with Commander Shepard. The story of Mass Effect would certainly have been different if Michael Scott had commanded the Normandy, right?

On the other hand, his ability to be the number one boss might be just what Earth needed. Thanks to YouTuber eli_handle_b.wav, we can see a timeline of where this is true.

Thanks to YouTuber eli_handle_b.wav, we’re graced with a timeline showing Michael Scott, a regional manager for the Dunder Mifflin paper company, leading the charge against the Reapers. He brings his signature wit, wisdom, comedy and guts to Normandy in a way Shepard could only dream of.

The video features favorite moments from The Office so perfectly blended into scenes from Mass Effect, like Michael Scott being interrogated by reporter Emily Wong (minus the punches), a romance with Miranda, and a well-timed “She did said” joke. Eli_handle_b.wav even stitched together the iconic opening to The Office. It’s amazing how well edited the video is.

This isn’t the first time YouTuber eli_handle_b.wav has created a successful video as they have made videos about Mr. Bean in Cyberpunk 2077, Tony Soprano as God of War and way too many more hilarious gaming crossovers to guide you are down a youtube rabbit hole.
