Hazo posted:Did you stop watching partway through or something? He has an entire piece to camera where he talks about everything that's happened with him and Holly and how he's so happy his office family is growing up and falling in love. I guess i didn't remember exactly what he said because it wasn't interesting or funny and he didn't interact with any of the other characters

Could you imagine wasting your Friday night to drive to some local crap art gallery to see your coworkers lovely artwork and it turns out to be a portrait of your goddamn office building. I would punch them.

I would punch them. MegaCorp used to rent a drab office with no aesthetic appeal & I was confused why the building lobby had a black and white framed photo of the building lobby. Got more confused when we changed buildings & someone took the picture with them and put it up in their cubicle.

Pam's painting is missing from a couple of episodes because there was an abandoned subplot where Erin cleans the wall and destroys it, but Jenna Fischer (rightfully) refused to go along with it because it was a stupid gag

Pam also scammed her way into a job as "office administrator" because she's a failure and then got mad at Jim for pursuing an opportunity with a company that ended up being worth millions.

Jim buying his parents house without telling his wife is just incredibly stupid on many levels. And yet, it was topped by her not even being upset in the slightest.

To be fair, this was also mostly a joke on Gabe for being a spineless dweeb who just wanted a nameplate.

git apologist posted:im an obnoxious rear end in a top hat, no argument there, but this is unimpeachably true The only part where this is true is season one of the US Office, where they were trying, and failing, to adopt the U.K. version to what they thought US audiences wanted. The first season of the US version is 6 episodes. Unfortunately a lot of people make the comparison from those first episodes alone and stop watching. The show was retooled starting with season 2 and significantly improves. Beyond that... The UK version is 14 insipid episodes with nothing to say other than "work bad, life bleak". The US version is a pop culture phenomenon that ended 10 years ago and is still talked about more than most shows currently airing, with hundreds of memorable moments that are ingrained into US culture. US Version = popular, therefore bad! UK Version = hardly watched, therefore good!

Hardly watched? It was a global phenomenon. Even gave rise to the (inferior) US version. I like the US one, but come on, they’re leagues apart in terms of quality.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:The UK version is 14 insipid episodes with nothing to say other than "work bad, life bleak” It’s worth remembering that when it came out in 2001, this message (which for most people is in fact true) was novel and transgressive for a TV show. All other TV shows about the workplace implicitly or explicitly were about the value and meaning of work. No one had normal, bad jobs.
