The Office (TV Series) Dwight's Speech (2006) User Reviews

Dwight the Orator

[kondjott · 9/10 · 25 July 2006]

Rainn Wilson, not Steve Carell, is the driving force of this show. In this episode, one of the funniest of the series, he drives this fact home. This episode has everything a fan of the Office could want. There's little hints about Dwight and Angela's relationship, there's growing turmoil in the quasi-relationship of Jim and Pam, and a great performance by Steve Carell.

All of this is overshadowed, however, by Dwight's presence. His speech had me rolling on the floor, and then checking all over the internet later to figure out where some parts of the speech came from. See if you can pick out some of the references to speeches by Churchill, Lenin, and Mussolini.

This episode just once again goes to show why the Office is the funniest show on TV right now. Let's hope NBC hangs onto it for as long as they can stay funny.

Dwight's Speech (#2.17)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 29 December 2018]

Dwight wins salesman of the year award and needs to make a speech. He is not good at public speaking so Jim gives him Mussolini speech which ends up being a success.

Dwight's speech is absolutely hilarious. How he was presenting it as a true dictator, how it was loved by the audience and how it made Michael jealous, it was wonderful

Dwight's moment.

This is Dwight's highlight scene of season 2. We see that he is a strong leader and a good friend. The B-plot with Pam's wedding is slightly forgettable and is overshadowed, but it still is an enjoyable episode.

Michael is an enabler with human flaws

[PWNYCNY · 10/10 · 16 November 2018]

This episode is a take-off on Mussolini. Dwight is being recognized as salesman of the year and is invited to make a speech at a sales person convention. Michael feels upstaged and offers to "coach" Dwight in order to instill in Dwight self-doubt about delivering a speech. Yet, Dwight surprises Michael and delivers a speech by borrowing from Mussolini. It works! Dwight's speech is received with tumultuous applause from everyone, except Michael, who, consumed by jealousy, sulks. Michael comes off as petty and insecure. He puts his personal feelings ahead of that of the interest of the company. He is selfish, manipulative and insecure. But he is the boss, and it is because of Michael that Dwight succeeds because Michael is an enabler, albeit one with human flaws.

Amazing speech, that's why Mussolini dominated in Italy just because of his hands gestures. Ok, to be serious, I was hoping for something cringe to happen and it didn't. Did I like this episode? Yes, it was chill, easy flowing, not a lot of things happening, quality content.

Dictatorship

[sunnyblah · 10/10 · 30 May 2021]

We must never cede control of the Motheeeeerlaaaaand.

Mussolini would've feel proud of Dwight..

Mussolini

[vivianla · 9 September 2020]

Dwight is the top salesman of the year and is preparing for his speech.

Pam is asked about photos of her wedding dress.

Jim gives fake advice to Dwight telling him he majored in public speaking in college and gives him a copy of Mussolini's speech. He suggests waving hands in the air and pounding.

At the convention it is much bigger than expected and pop music blares out.

Dwight gives his speech and he is unknowingly impersonating Mussolini and his manic laughter killed me. The audience joins in yelling out simultaneous responses.

Michael leaves early to the bar and after Dwight finds him.

Michael end the episode off saying he captured the attention of the guy who captured 1000 people. Wow, 1000. He is trying to ride off of Dwight's success.

Best speech ever

This Episode begins with Michael, he is playing with an American football a the Dunder Mifflin Office. Pam has to arrange a lot of things for her wedding with Roy. Michael asks Dwight if he is ready for his speech this afternoon. Dwight tells Michael that he can't give a speech. Jim is gonna make a trip, he wants to get out of the office for a while. Angela wishes Dwight good luck with his speech. Dwight gives a great speech at the NESA conference. Jim tells Pam that he goes to Australia. Jim misses Pam and Roy their wedding, he is in Australia that day. Amazing Episode of The Office Season 2, this was so good. The Episodes keep getting better!
