When I first saw him he seemed to be too "bossy" or arrogant. Though, now looking at him in more depth, he has some fair points. I like the Jim's comment at 2:33 .
Its the fact that he came after Michael... None can replace The MAN the MYTH the LEGEND under the name MICHAEL SCOTT (though Robert was actually really good :p)
Say what you will about this guy, Robert california is straight up no bs gangsta. James spader does 100% percent to the role. Maybe people hate him because they expect him to be funny like michael but the fact that he’s nothing like him is what makes the show genius. Its true nothing can replace michael scott but robert california is an awesome character and one worth remembering as he is
Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us? How dare we let it into our decision-making, into our livelihoods, into our relationships? It's funny isn't it, we take a day a year to dress up in costume and celebrate fear?
"Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us. How dare we let it into our decision making, into our livlihoods, into our relationships...."
7:10 One of the most important moments we can learn from. When confronted with beat around the bush speech, let it the person talk their speech and counter or clarify what you actually said and elaborate. No defending yourself, just pure truth. May be harsh but it lets others know what it is you actually meant to say.
Jim pep talk was like laid back, calm, low key manipulaying you trough his choice. But RC pep talk was intense, inspiring, but i’ll forget half of what he says
BANG BANG BANG BANG In about FOUR seconds my wife is going to be coming through that door. I've told her she can work here, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN THAT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN
The Robert Calafornia cocktail : Take a good strong shot of James Spader and then add a small dollop of Christopher Walken cream and just for a nice touch sprinkle a little bit of John Lithgow choclate shavings on top .
Robert California is the original version of a Brazilian meme called "filósofo Piton". Everything in this life is equal the desire what you want screw someone haha
i like to believe Robert California is based on Bucky LaPlasse from Het Eiland. Exact same persona, looks like him, same intellect and same disgust for his employees
Where Michael Scott created untouched legacy and became yardstick of show's humour, Robert's role was against the odds and he pulled it like no one could ever imagine. Infact, Michael would seem pale in few of Robert's peak act.
