<Li> Orville Tootenbacher ("The Search") is Michael's briefly mentioned "millionaire character that farts popcorn". </Li> <Li> Lord Rupert Everton is Michael's hopeful identity for his dream to be in the United States Federal Witness Protection Program . </Li> <P> The show often uses the joke "that's what she said" which was popularized by the Wayne's World sketch on Saturday Night Live . In the original BBC version of The Office, Ricky Gervais's character David Brent frequently used the similar phrase "as the actress said to the bishop" as an inappropriate joke . Michael inserts the phrase as a sexually suggestive double entendre even in the most inappropriate circumstances, including business meetings and legal depositions . Michael finds uttering the phrase so irresistible that in "Sexual Harassment" he is goaded into saying it just seconds after Jan Levinson and a lawyer from Corporate specifically ask him not to do so . The phrase has become so associated with the character that the television show 30 Rock in the episode "TGS Hates Women" there was a scene in which Liz Lemon became infuriated at another character's use of "TWSS" because "Steve Carell owns' That's What She Said,' okay? He owns it!" In the episode, "Goodbye, Michael", "that's what she said" was Steve Carell's final (inaudible) line as a series regular, and was his first line upon returning as a guest star in "Finale". </P> <P> Although originally based on David Brent, Scott has developed into a significantly different character than his British counterpart . Whereas Brent is shown to be irredeemably incompetent, Scott is portrayed as an outstanding salesman who is unwisely promoted to a management role to which he appears completely ill - suited . (In a scathing performance review during episode eight of season two, Jan Levinson suggests that Scott should be removed from his management role and return to sales). Scott is thus an apt example of the Peter Principle which states that competent persons in a hierarchical organization will "rise to the level of their incompetence" after which they will not advance . </P>

When does michael come back to the office
