Michael and Michael Have Issues season 1 episode 4 titled "Pulling Your Weight" follows the two Michaels as they struggle to agree on their roles in the show. Michael Ian Black believes that he's doing most of the work for the show, while Michael Showalter believes their efforts are equally distributed. To settle the debate, they spend the entire episode trying to determine how much work each of them puts into the show.

The episode kicks off with the pair bickering over petty issues like who should be credited for what and which ideas they should pursue. Michael Ian Black argues that he's the one who comes up with most of the show's content and executes the sketches, while Michael Showalter points out that he's in charge of directing and editing the show, which is no small feat.

The tension rises when Black finds out that Showalter has been taking credit for a pitch that he (Black) developed, and they get into a heated argument. Eventually, they decide to go to their executive producer, who's played by comedian Paul Rudd, and ask for his opinion. Rudd suggests that they divide up each task and assign them a point value based on the amount of effort required.

The rest of the episode shows the two Michaels competing against each other in a series of tasks to prove who puts in more work. They try everything from writing and editing sketches to creating graphics and building props. As they go through each challenge, they start to realize that they both contribute equally to the show and that their arguments were based on insecurities rather than facts.

The episode culminates in a heartwarming scene where the Michaels confess their feelings to each other and apologize for their behavior. They make up and agree to work together as a team, promising to always communicate openly and share credit where it's due.

Overall, "Pulling Your Weight" is an entertaining and relatable episode that explores the dynamics of creative partnerships and the importance of acknowledging each other's contributions. It's funny, poignant, and showcases the comedic talents of Black and Showalter in full force. The episode is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys smart, character-driven comedy.
