Michael also made apology videos for his mom and condo association
"The Office" Superfans episodes (https://www.looper.com/1161029/the-office-superfans-episodes-show-that-andy-is-worse-than-you-think/) only encompass the first three seasons of the show, but they include many deleted scenes that in some cases even change storylines (via Decider (https://decider.com/2021/01/05/the-office-superfan-episodes-season-3/)). In the deleted scenes of "Product Recall," for example, Pam (Jenna Fischer) reveals that she usually helps Michael film his apology videos, since he wants a "woman's touch." In her personal favorite, in which Michael surrounds himself with an absurd amount of balloons, Michael apologizes to his mom for forgetting her birthday. He then blames the mistake on Pam, who apparently threw away his calendar.
The funnier video, however, is coincidentally the one that Pam would like to forget. In an apology video to his condo association, Michael attempts to diffuse a tricky situation that he appears to have created himself. "And without denying the seriousness of the situation," he starts, "I would just like to remind you that in much of the Netherlands, swimming naked is the norm, so in Norway, you'd be the weirdos." The fact that Michael conflates Norway and the Netherlands is just the cherry on top: This is utter Michael Scott perfection.
Of course, these aren't the only deleted scenes from Season 3. For example, there's another from "Product Recall" in which Creed randomly admits to life insurance fraud, which not only fits into his arc in this episode but perfectly sums him up as a character.
