What made The Office such a good show?
>>71193606
Steve Carell. Once he left the show just became a shit show
realistic characters in a cozy environment
for the first 3 seasons anyway

exploring every-day-life cringe

Pleb detected. Do you also like to watch people stub their toe?
>>71193606
Good show?! LMAO
>>71193606
same reasons the simpsons was great
great characters, great writing
>>71193606
The writing.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's writing.
The fact that they only made two series.
The fact that you can get away with a lot more on UK television than US television.
Realistic, relatable characters mixed with over-the-top characters.
Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson
A decent love story (until it got boring around season 4)
Occasional clever writing
Michael Scott made that show. He elevated cringe to an artform.

Jim/Pam romance arc <3
Don't even try and deny it

>MICHAEL!
>>71197441
you wouldn't know it from this gif but this is singlehandedly the most cringe-inducing moment in the show
and for a show built around a cringe-inducing boss that's really saying something
10/10 cozy factor

in our office people call me "Old Man Creed" or "Creed" since I'm one of the "older" guys in the office (jfc I'm only 37) anyway another part on that is I just can't get whatever app they're want me to try out, snapchat, instagram, etc. I have facebook but I rarely post in it, mostly just to keep in touch with family. kids these days
Pam's feet

A playful sense of humor that wasn't cockblocked at every turn by a hyper-sensitive, crybaby PC culture.
You could never get away with half the jokes that made the office great today. Fat people got made fun of, minorities got made fun of, men raising other men's children ("cucks") got made fun of, aging unmarried women got made fun of, cheating whores got made fun of...everybody got made of fun in a hilarious, on-the-nose manner.
These days the twitter SJW police would go nuts over a joke like this on network TV. Producers would have to apologize.
