Since Labor Day weekend, (approximately 4 weeks ago), I have watched 84 full-length episodes of The Office. Also in that time: I've watched 12 episodes of Gossip Girl, 4 movies and about 50 online commercials for marketing class. The funny thing is... I've found enough time to complete all my assignments, study for important tests, hang out with friends and workout... (haha... ok, that last one isn't quite true).
THE OFFICE!! That's what I'd like to discuss today... The Dunder Mifflin Scranton Branch that has a personality for every weirdo you've encountered. There's a weapon-loving bobble-head-adoring office nerd/suck-up, a creepy old guy who sells every kind of illegal document, a fat perverted accountant who everyone thinks is slow, a bitch, a ditz, an incompetent boss, a slutty alcoholic red-head AND, most importantly... 2 down-to-earth individuals, dating no less, who keep the office sane. (There's more characters but I only have so much room...)
The show is hilarious, witty, and surprisingly realistic, (in some aspects)... The characters are distinct, lovable and clash with each other in the most perfect way. They throw unnecessary parties, tell inappropriate jokes- (mostly the boss), play constant pranks and waste endless amounts of the company's money.
What is it about The Office that keeps me coming back for more?... Is it Jim Halpert's adorable persona and pranks on Dwight? Michael's hysterical hatred of Toby, the HR rep? Angela's "love life"?... Whatever it is that keeps me watching TV shows, The Office has it. It's an incredible program. DON'T MISS IT!
I love The Office. One of my friends is a regular extra on that show, the lucky duck! And the funny thing is that he isn't even an actor. He's an engineer by day, and then takes the day off when they need him on The Office.
ReplyDeleteI never miss it and continue to watch the DVDs over and over and over. Have you watched the original British version. It's equally as hilarious!
