What can I say, it can't get any better than this. This episode certainly had me and everyone i've watched it with laughing from start to finish. I find the Injury to be the funniest Michael/Dwight episode. They both deliver the greatest lines in the show's short history here. Michael burns his foot on a George Foreman grill because he likes to make himself breakfast in bed, and he still decides to come to work, so he calls the office to have someone to pick him up. Dwight, of course, leaves to pick him up, and while he's leaving, crashes his car into a pole. Throughout the episode Michael is just himself, difficult, giving everyone at the office a hard time by demanding attention. Dwight unknowingly has a concussion, and seems to be actually be acting nice and helpful. Pam and Jim find this to be weird, and end up coming to a conclusion that he indeed has a concussion. Once again, great episode from start to finish, oh and sorry if I just ruined it for you.

Who cares what the other guy says

This show is awesome. This episode showed how well written the characters Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are. They both face 2 situations that reveal another side of them that no one expected, and it's just great writing. There are also a lot of inside jokes for this one so might be a bit hard to understand but generally you will have a good time.
The Injury (#2.12)

Michael burns his foot and Dwight has a concussion.
Hilarious once again. Michael acting like his foot injury was a big disability so he needed a lot of help was pretty fun. Especially when everyone refused to go pick him up in the bathroom and get got the property manager who is in the wheelchair to come by. Oh what a cringe worthy scene, so good. The idea that Dwight was so nice because of his concussion was also great.

By FAR the best episode yet.

This is the pinnacle of a comedy sitcom episode. No b-plots, no added drama. Michael has burnt his foot, and Dwight got a concussion on his way to pick him up, and that's it. Instead of adding new comedy plots to an episode, it builds on one hilarious one.
Awesome!!!

I love the Office so much after this episode. It was always funny and lots of fun to watch, but this really moved it up on my list of favorite shows ever! I love Michael, Dwight, Pam, Jim, and everyone else. Who would have thought that the best show of all time would be about a group of people working all day!
Hilarious

George Forewarning: Don't grill beside your bed.

Warning: Spoilers
Due to a rather bizarre morning routine gone wrong, Michael accidentally burns his foot on the George Foreman grill. Dwight immediately rushes to rescue him as soon as he hears about it, but gets injured himself when he crashes the car into a pole.
This episode is a glorious display of how far Michael will go to make sure the attention is on him and nobody else. Most people who injure themselves feel a bit embarrassed over it, and will usually try not to make a big deal out of the whole thing. Not this guy. He makes such a theatrical showcase of this unfortunate, but on the whole survivable injury that you'd think he's had his legs blown off. I can't even count the amount of times he keeps yelling after Pam and Ryan to come and help him, as if they are his permanent personal assistants. Ryan's discomfort with the whole situation in particular really cracks me up.
Of course once confronted by people in worse conditions he still manages to act selfish, if not even more so. Dwight he pretty much ignores, despite his head injury being so severe it affects his entire personality. And let's not even talk about when he brings in Billy, a wheelchair-bound guy for "awareness". Due to being disabled for most of his life, he has a fairly easy-going and positive approach towards his handicap, even cracking a little joke about it which Michael for some reason takes objection with.
And when asked about how doing everyday things in a wheelchair is like, Michael desperately tries to make it look like his life is nothing but a constant barrage of misery. This subconsciously reveals that he's trying to justify his extreme overreaction and attention-whoring over his own burnt foot, not genuinely wanting to bring awareness about disability.
I love the sequence of him breaking down disabled heroes so much. Not only are several of these movie characters, and AIDS not a disability, but it's not even the correct movie character in one of the examples. This confusing attempt at inspiring his co-workers had me crippling over with laughter (Pun maybe intended).
Dwight also gets a lot of funny moments as his head injury makes him act more approachable and friendler than usual, especially towards Pam. In my opinion Dwight is actually a sweetheart deep down, but he's rarely this upfront and lovey-dovey about it. Except for with Michael, sometimes.
If I thought it all couldn't get any more perfect, we have Michael in a final act of selfishness trying to stick his foot in under the CAT scan at the same time as Dwight is going through it. What makes it even better is that his foot has already healed at this point, so it's just another way for him to try and be noticed.

Foot Burn, Concussion
vivianla6 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Michael calls into work asking for someone other than Dwight to come drive him to work.
Dwight offers to go immediately and while driving out he hits the pole. He staggers out of the car and vomits all over the back of the car.
Michael comes in with a foot wrapped in bubble wrap. He burned his foot with his grill while attempting to grill bacon in the morning while sleeping.
Michael goes to the washroom alone and we hear loud noises. He calls out for help and asks for Pam. The male employee says he doesn't think Pam would want to go into the mens' washroom.
Michael orders a conference to be done and brings in a handicapped employee. The employee leaves and asks Jim what is wrong with that guy? Jim thought he meant Michael but no, he meant Dwight. The handicapped guy says he thinks that guy who hit the pole might have a concussion.
Dwight goes unconscious and Jim thinks he should go the hospital, the rest of the office agreeing.
One of the women offers her car and Michael says what is with this car? Jim says she has a son and Michael says yeah with this car she won't get a husband.
In the car Dwight picks up a random drink off the car's floor. Jim sprays Dwight and Michael with a bottle to get them to listen.
At the hospital the doctor tells Dwight he will order a CAT scan. Michael asks if a foot injury or a head injury is worser. Head injury says the doctor. Michael asks for a CAT scan for his foot burn and the doctor says for a burn you just have to check the outer skin for redness. Dwight says, "that's what she said".
In the CAT scan Michael attempts to put his foot in there too along with Dwight's body.
