What is it about this show that caters to the most boring fanbase? The Office isn't bad, but it's not that good either. It's just so painfully average, and the people who like it are just complete squares.
Seriously, everyone I've met who religiously watches this show are the most boring, uninteresting pieces of shit to walk the earth. This is a show made for literal NPCs.
What's a show that you watch religiously?
I watch and fap to porn religiously.
>complains about people religiously watching a boring show
>watches hours of a penis sticking in and out of a hole like a drawer

literally reddiit: the show
>painfully average
this means its better than 99% of all television

That was sarcasm you brainlet. If we're talking TV shows, then I'll be honest and say it's been a while since I've religiously followed a long running live action show. The last time I did was Breaking Bad but that's about it. I watch more anime nowadays.
Something about season 2 era Mindy Kaling makes me real freaking randy
jeanna we talked about this, you can't keep saying these kind of things if you want the restraining order dropped
First 5 seasons are peak comedykino
They're average. The entire show is just average.
cringe and yikespilled
just look at that DVD cover. Mediocre White People: The Show. Same with Frasier and Seinfeld.
I can't help it Karen. I'm looking for the Jim to my Pam.
This. Not just the comedy itself but the earlier seasons have some really amazing character development and smaller moments that raise it above the typical sitcom fare. People just think it's overrated now since everyone is suddenly obsessed with it, and admittedly the later seasons suck
Seinfeld is about succesful neurotic nyc jews.

I agree, everyone I've met that's a huge Office fan is an interchangeable NPC. It's the ultimate normie show. That said, I've watched a bit of it and I do have to say the writing is pretty clever and it's pretty funny. However, the fanbase is composed of the most generic, college-aged normies that all like the show for the exact same reasons and the exact same characters. I think it draws them in because of the "le quirky random" humor and the generic normie romance dynamic. It represents what college normies want their lives and relationships to be like after they graduate because most of them know their lives will be pretty boring and uneventful once they start working. They hope for a fun, goofy workplace with silly characters and want to have a deep, lasting relationship like Jim and Pam, instead of inevitably ending up in some shitty cubicle at a boring office complex getting bossed around by boomers and having a bunch of short, sporadic relationships that never end up going anywhere serious like they rightly believe is most likely to happen. That's my theory anyway.
Anything that appeals to such a wide fanbase is going to be likewise broad in its approach to humor.
Some viewers appreciate a more narrowed comedic focus, a specific type of joke or gag, perhaps one a bit more daring, in a risk-taking production-style sense. Like using dutch angles or more deep-cut nerd humor, or something.
The Office -- a show I admit to have played through at least a dozen times -- doesn't offer any cinematic extravagance; there are few reaches outside the formula of making jokes and bits seem funnier when compared to the dull workplace setting.
They had to have chosen a paper company specifically because it is such a boring environment to imagine; without that factor, all of the little character eccentricities would probably not be as funny.
There's nothing wrong with any of that. There are always going to be shows that appeal to a large audience. That's what most people call SUCCESSFUL. Your hate is unjustified.
It’s great until Michael leaves and then the only redeeming person is Robert California. Any episode after Michael left that doesn’t feature Robert shouldn’t be watched
Make me, faggot.
This and Friends never clicked for me. They're better than CBS and ABC's shit, and it doesn't bug me that anyone likes them, but I don't get it.
You're missing the point. I'm not saying that it's a bad show. It's just that the fanbase is comprised of boring jerkoff NPCs with nothing unique or interesting about them. It's a show that's just barely good to be serviceable to the dull boring masses. It's propaganda to make people not feel as suicidal about their meaningless cubicle enclosed existence at a company/job they don't give a fuck about. If The Big Bang Theory is a show made for idiots with shit taste, The Office is a show made for squares who lack the very concept of taste.
Steve Carrel is a comedy genius. Prison Mike amiright?
friendly reminder that ryan, robert california and creed were /ourguys/, anyone who disagrees is reddit
Who the fuck cares? The entire show has always been Reddit from the beginning.
this, i still read creeds blog from time to time
I know this is bait but his comedic timing and delivery is genuinely incredible
>something happens
>Jim looks into the camera with a wacky face
based and truthful post
>Popular show BAD
Well obviously the earlier seasons were doing something right to make it so popular, but that's not what the topic is. We're talking about the fanbase, not the show.
For me, having an Office gf was a rite of passage. Honestly, it's a good way to get to know a low/mid-IQ woman if you watch her make you watch The Office with her all the way through. I only date high/mid-IQ girls from now on though, I prefer when they're smarter than me honestly

>implying that's what OP said
Read the post and pay attention next time, brainlet.
