How to say "No" LIKE A BOSS

Now try it on one of your friends (or enemies)!

A little background:
Toby, the head of Human Resources at Scranton paper (where Michael (Carell) is the boss), is a dull, dreary and essentially boring person. Michael hates his guts, and would like nothing more than for Toby to just disappear.

Prior to this episode, Toby did disappear, on a 4 week paid vacation.

This was the very first 17 sec of the first episode of Tobys return to the office from his holiday....Michael, clearly not a happy camper.

Thanks; I had forgotten what this was about.

...and with that context, it was pretty funny. By itself, not really.

Actually, by itself it's a great way to be sarcastic at work. For instance, if one of my underlings asks to go on an extended lunch or take a day off from work I would send them this clip in MSN. The context doesn't matter because we all know he's a boss saying no so it's funny. But it's more of a functional humor, similar to using an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard to answer specific questions during an interoffice meeting. Is each clip funny on it's own? No. Is it funny when it's used as a replacement for speech? Yes.
