It would be just as bad if Michael loses to a no dimensional cartoon that hasn't been funny in over a decade and a half.

The Big Bang Theory is an absolutely horrid show that is only found funny by 12 year olds. It's based off of faggots using big words and degrading the only two women on the show.The Office is a legitimately funny show that doesn't require a laugh track. Michael Scott all the way. If Sheldon won, I honestly would have zero faith left in humanity.

Michael Scott, because he's a more realistic real-world portrayal of a middle manager than Sheldon Cooper is of a theoretical physicist, IMHO.
Not that I've met many theoretical physicists in my life, but I sure have met a lot of middle managers and Michael bears an *uncanny* similarity!!

Amazing shows are about emotions. About what they make you feel with the writing and the character developments, etc. It is rare when you can feel more than laughter or sadness with a show, and THE OFFICE brought this dynamic greatness to TV- you name an emotion, the office has made you feel it. TBBT can be a great show, sure, but the politics of feeling accepted etc. (as some of you are mentioning that TBBT has made you feel), are too personal- there is a type of rubric used when determining a show's greatness, and TBBT pales in comparison to The Office. Michael Scott wins.

As much as I love TBBT I love The Office so much more. Jim Parsons is amazing at what he does and we all love Sheldon and his quirky-ness but Michael Scott is the best. We laughed with Michael, laughed at Michael, enjoyed his home movies, cried with him, watched him fall in love again and again until he finally found the one. We watched him propose and we watched him leave the most amazing show ever. His character was so amazing that many watchers won't even watch the seasons that he isn't apart of. I guess both shows just target different audiences. No need to hate on either show though just because you have a different taste in comedy.

Actually, check that--"Arrested Development" was probably the greatest comedy to come out this millennium, with "The Office" a close second or tied, but unfortunately AD was only around for 3 years (four if you count the Netflix season) whereas "The Office" had a much longer run while rarely missing a beat.

And the dumbing down of America continues with Sheldon Cooper even mentioned in the same breath as Michael Scott. BBT is so unbelievably unfunny that I cringe whenever I hear it mentioned, and I do not and will not ever understand how Jim Parson wins awards for Best Actor in a comedy. He's a one-trick pony--no depth (or comedy) in his character portrayal at all. "The Office" was probably the greatest network TV comedy to come out this millennium.
Dave - 9 years ago
Sheldon redefined a lot of stereotypes for us nerds. He made it ok for a lot of kids out there to be the way they are. Jackasses who mock you because you are a nerd, because you use Linux and read Stephen Hawking. Michael is a character who is copied from another show.
For those who hate on TBBT: Look up Emmys Steve Carell and then Emmys Jim Parsons. Stop trying to make something that people like into something that is not true. People love Sheldon for a reason.

People have to realize that Jim Parsons is nothing like the character Sheldon Cooper-- and that makes him the more talented of the two and his show the better of the two. True, he is surrounded by some very funny people which helps the show be (for me at least) something I don't want to miss. I watched The Office once and turned it off before the end-- I didn't find it funny. I think some of the people who wrote here don't realize there is NO laugh track. The show for the most part is taped in front of a live audience (except for parts where it would be hard to do.) Sheldon is hilarious but also remember it's the writers putting those words into his month-- which makes it even more awesome that Parsons can remember all those tricky lines. ( I wonder how many of the people who find the show so bad are subconsciously homophobic which may influence their comments? Of course, they will deny this...)

If Michael Scott doesn't win, i will have lost faith in humanity. Michael Scott is hands down of the best tv characters of all time.
Sheldon is one of the most creative characters I have seen on T.V. My husband and I have watched Big Bang since the first episode and buy each season on DVD once it becomes available. We also buy the season DVDs and give them to family and friends for Christmas. All of the characters on this show fit perfectly with the others. I couldn't imagine the show without any of the characters. We even nicknamed our computer "Sheldon".

Four dudes yanking each other off in a room using lame attempts at comedy by referencing nerd culture is what makes the show unfunny, the laugh track is a craptastic bonus feature of the Turd Sunday that is The Big Bang Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKS3MGriZcs Without a laugh track... oh yeah this show is sooooooo good.
Not trolling, The Office is a classic The Big Bang Theory will be a show that will never withstand time because it sucks.

The dude below me is dumb... The office isn't funny. Even though the big bang has a laughing track doesn't justify it as unfunny.

Once again, old dude with nothing else to do. Troll man, trolllllllll.

Sheldonsux Michaelisking - 9 years ago
Sheldon along with the mindless unfunny garbage actors in The Big Bang Theories best trick is making people believe this Laugh Track Laced pile of shit is worth a crap. The show is such a low level of comedy it tells you when to laugh... and it still isn't funny. Sheldon is the single most over rated, garbage characters of all-time. He is not funny, he is an ok actor. But he is a mediocre character on an even worse show.
Michael Scott has no place being next to the likes of Sheldon. He is so much better it isn't even funny. Steve Carell made The Office one of the best comedies in the US (without laugh track). His improve made this show what it is, he didn't need every joke to be written for him hen processed through a shitty garbage ass laugh track for people to pretend it was funny. Anyone voting voting for Sheldon should sincerely look in the mirror and realize at what a low level of brain functionality you run at when you think anything about Big Bang Theory comes within the realm of The Office.

How is Sheldon even winning? The Office was so much more clever and didn't use a soundtrack to try to make up for the lack of comedy.

He's a one punchline type of guy while Michael Scott was a complex character and took emotion and talent to play.

emember , laughing is the best medicine.
Watched both shows..didn't even have to think about it...duhhh! Michael J. Fox!!!!!
Michael Scott is actually funny. BBT is just one of the worst things on tv. So dumb, boring, and obnoxious. I have no time for unfunny things and I fail to understand how anyone under 80 could find it funny. 80 year olds only like it because they cannot hear the tv and thus cannot hear how unfunny it really is.
The "Sheldon" character is always making me laugh. Can't beat it.
Wow, can't believe Michael is being put up against Sheldon.. It's crazy. Sheldon is so much funnier than the obnoxious Mike. The office is bland, thing of something new.
Classic eh? must like garbage like queen and def leppard too huh? The poll is speaking for itself no problems Mr.Troll. Steve sucks in every movie and show he plays in. He's annoying as hell, but hey, it's a classic right?
Jim Parsons is funny funny funny! Don't need a laugh track to make me laugh. Throw youtube videos all you want troll. That's what you do best!
BIG BANG FTW!
I can't change your opinion, that's okay. But Sheldon really does triumph over Michael. You'll see the poll at the end of the day... with Sheldon ahead. =)
I should have known such a garbage site promoting this would have the same garbage people thinking Big Bang Theory is even in the same league as the office.
I can't believe that these two are even being compared. Michael Scott is not even in the same category as that humorless piece of shit on the big bang theory. Talk about a show that has no plot whatsoever and is not funny in the least. The office is so much better than big bang theory.
Four dudes yanking each other off in a room using lame attempts at comedy by referencing nerd culture is what makes the show unfunny, the laugh track is a craptastic bonus feature of the Turd Sunday that is The Big Bang Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKS3MGriZcs Without a laugh track... oh yeah this show is sooooooo good.
Not trolling, The Office is a classic The Big Bang Theory will be a show that will never withstand time because it sucks.
The dude below me is dumb... The office isn't funny. Even though the big bang has a laughing track doesn't justify it as unfunny. Old dudes with no life that work crap jobs dreaming of working in an office where things like "the office" happens would yeah, find it funny. But it's not. Once again, old dude with nothing else to do. Troll man, trolllllllll.
Big bang ftw. Go sheldon!
Sheldon along with the mindless unfunny garbage actors in The Big Bang Theories best trick is making people believe this Laugh Track Laced pile of shit is worth a crap. The show is such a low level of comedy it tells you when to laugh... and it still isn't funny. Sheldon is the single most over rated, garbage characters of all-time. He is not funny, he is an ok actor. But he is a mediocre character on an even worse show.
Michael Scott has no place being next to the likes of Sheldon. He is so much better it isn't even funny. Steve Carell made The Office one of the best comedies in the US (without laugh track). His improve made this show what it is, he didn't need every joke to be written for him hen processed through a shitty garbage ass laugh track for people to pretend it was funny. Anyone voting voting for Sheldon should sincerely look in the mirror and realize at what a low level of brain functionality you run at when you think anything about Big Bang Theory comes within the realm of The Office.
Guys, the office blows. Dry humor and crap acting... no talent to play at all. The office literally happens every day at THE OFFICE. Get a better job, losers. Big Bang ftw.
Steve Carrell is an extremely lousy actor in everything he does. I refuse to watch any of his shows or movies, his arrogance pisses me off every time I see him on the screen.... Sheldon Cooper all the way!!!
How is Sheldon even winning? The Office was so much more clever and didn't use a soundtrack to try to make up for the lack of comedy. Seriously, look up "Big Bang Theory" without the laugh track and it's straight up shit. Sheldon is a one dimensional character and is really bland. He's a one punchline type of guy while Michael Scott was a complex character and took emotion and talent to play.
The Office was an incredibly STUPID show! Sheldon is hilarious!
How is this even a debate? Michael Scott is a million times better than Sheldon, don't believe me, watch the last two seasons of the Office when Michael wasn't there. He makes that show, and as much as I enjoy TBBT, it will never be as good as The Office, game, set, match, point, Scott, game over, end of game.
Sheldon Cooper is only funny because of the situations that surround him, and for his cast itself. Michael Scott was easily the best character Steve Carrel has ever made, and is based on timing, skill, expressions, and a little bit of his cast. MICHAEL SCOTT!
How is this a first-round matchup? It's like Kentucky meeting Duke in the first round of the NCAA tournament! Both of these actors should be in the Final Four. But for me it'll always be Michael Scott...best comedy since Seinfeld and it was largely because of his comedic timing.
Sheldon (Shamy) is insane. How can he remember all the lines and remain in emotional control? Awesome actor. Good luck on stage.
Sheldon is absolutely awesome, you love him and dislike him at the same time, he is a genius at remembering his lines
Are you kidding me ? Michael Scott will always rule.
Sheldon is just another Toby in this scenario. Sorry Sheldon Cooper, I'm just not a fan. Plus I think Howard is better than you(that's what she said)
Brutal that either one of these characters gets knocked out in the first round.
Nerds rule!
Hes A funny guy,tell everybody on the show I said hi

BAZINGA! Dr. Sheldon Cooper will always get my vote!!!
