US or UK? I really didn’t find the US version funny in the slightest. And I dont mean in an elitist sense, I’m hardly the greatest fan of the office UK either, but there is something about the absurdity levels of many popular US sitcoms which never feel right to me. Like the characters are just so silly that they would never have been in those jobs in the first place. Scrubs and Brooklyn 99 are similar in that aspect for me, I just don’t find the ungrounded absurdity funny
That show is mostly about cheesy drama and cringe. Don’t get me wrong, I watched all of it, but I never would have watched it if my roommates didn’t.
But there are really funny parts, but those honestly end up being inside jokes, meaning you have to get to know the characters.
I was the same way with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I had the TV on in the background and it was on FX, just programming, and the episode where Dee and Dennis get addicted to crack to get on welfare was on.
Until then, I hated that show and couldn’t get the hype.
(on a side note, that show went to shit by season 7… so it goes)
But I digress: once you learn the characters (and starting at season 1 is rough because the characters aren’t really developed yet) the Office becomes much more entertaining.
early seasons of ISAIP were great, up until 11-12, then they all got botox, plastic surgery and became fake people irl too, especially ROb mac, yes he changed his name is now ever chasing that hollywood inner circle of actors, thats why he latched onto ryan reynolds to mooch off of.
I feel bad that they still keep making new seasons of always sunny. Gotta wrap that shit up already. They’ve wrecked their faces with plastic surgery and theyre trying so hard to be cool, and it’s just not anymore.
yea kaitlin olsen ruined her face with botox, and rob mac look like had use the SON’a face stretching machine to appear 20 years younger. everyone knew his muscles in season 13-14 was super unnatural, for a 40+year old dude. ISAIP is thier only cash cow, all thier other IPs they are doing or done, doesnt have the same impact. although i think kaitlin is the better actor of the isaip cast, given her recent shows.
like people were criticizing how dennis(glen howerton) is 40+ and still chasing 20 somethings, you arnt 30 anymore, give up in the show, which is wierd and creepy, because is defintely showing his age more.
They could have made it a good season if they had made his steroid use part of it too. Like that’d be the normal shitty stuff they do. But no.
Now it’s like 60 year old church lady approved shenanigans. I swear, they ate peppers and acted like it was drugs on a recent episode and it was just so fake and forced and pathetic really. Plus it’s like watching elder abuse with frank now. Poor old fella.
Well, they just jumped the shark. It could be recovered, but the Simpsons ran into the same thing in season 9, and South Park is holding onto a thread. ATHU and Sealab ran into the same issue, but Sealab was due Micheal’s passing. (captain murphy)
The office. Just don’t get what’s funny or good about it. I tried giving it an honest chance about 6 episodes and didn’t laugh once. 0/5
Try Community, it’s like the office but with humour

I have tried to start the office no less than 5 times. I even tried someone’s suggestion of skipping season 1.
I just can’t get into it or find it funny.
Also something about Steve Carrel annoys me the moment I see him. Along with Ben Stiller, who’s not in it but same effect
probably his nasal whiny voice. the frequency of those sounds are unbearable.
