<P> Michael's catchphrase is "That's what she said!", a sexually suggestive double entendre he uses even in the most inappropriate circumstances, including business meetings and legal depositions .

Michael also likes the music of Billy Joel, the movies Mean Girls, Million Dollar Baby, Die Hard, What a girl wants, and television series such as ALF, Entourage, The L Word and Queer as Folk . Michael tends to be a bit "behind" when it comes to popular culture references, such as when he refers to his then - girlfriend Jan's youthful male assistant as "James Van Der Beek" or in his numerous ringtones, including "My Humps," "Mambo Number Five" and "Salt N Pepa ." </P> <P> He appears to have a history of playing ice hockey and demonstrates his talent in "Michael's Birthday", and mentions in "Dream Team" that in high school, after his math teacher told him he was going to flunk out, he went out the next day and "scored more goals than anyone in the history of the hockey team ." He also has invited potential clients to "Wilkes - Barre / Scranton Penguins" games . On multiple occasions, Michael has also expressed interest in basketball even though he is terrible at it (in "The Fire", "Basketball" and "Goodbye, Michael").
