    The American Office. I like all of them.
    Though it worries me when I relate to Dwight the most.

    I agree with DeadliftsAndSprinkles but James Spader was pretty funny. Surprisingly.

    I watch up until Michael leaves -- I didn't think it was funny after that and I feel like that's when it should've ended (don't hurt me).

    Michael is my favourite but I also liked Gabe a lot (I think he's even funnier now on Silicon Valley).

    I like when Dwight and Gabe compete against each other in the leg curls contest.

    gabe is my least favorite part of this show honestly. And Micheal made it very difficult for me to watch the show as he was SO ignorant that he was constantly offensive and awful to the people he worked with. when micheal leaves it gives other characters an opportunity to grow in ways that couldn't have with him there in addition to giving him literally the best send off. I LOVE Holly because she's all the fun of micheal except she isn't obtusely ignorant of how to act in the real working world

    it's easy to be a Micheal when you don't really have to face people and deal with consequences

    This!

    Also when Andy needed a "real accountant" to make an $800 error.
    Next would be Michael and the GPS and Jans midlife crisis.

    The worst part about it is that it really got my hopes up for when I entered an office job.

    Sadly my office is not as dysfunctional/fun as The Office :(

    I guess I needa start encasing peoples staplers in jell-o

    Have you seen the original Office? Half the time I watched it (while I loved it) watching David Brent just had me going, "oh no, David, please don't. No. Oh, you did it anyways."

    But I still disagree with you :laugh:

    I tried watching it but I hated Andy as the manager. I wanted it to be Gabe.

    David Brent is hysterical!😋 and makes me want to🤦😉

    I've never watched that one but he was on an episode of the office. Gabe is probably one of my least favorite tv characters. he is slimy and bad. sorry that i said it but it needed to be said lol. Someone else should have been the boss. I didn't like Will Ferrell's character but the bit for the office is it's a bad boss. Andy is a bad boss for sure. outside of Andy screwing up the boss position there is so much good that happens

    My favorite character was Creed. His one liners killed me. My favorite episode was the fire drill one. That episode had me laughing the whole time. The season did go down hill after Michael left. It wasn't as funny.

    “Tallahassee” is one of my all-time favorite episodes. As well as “The Dinner Party.” And “Casino Night.” I could go in and on! :D
    I stopped watching The Office for a while after Michael left, but then got back into it, and I’m glad I did. Will Ferrell as Deangelo was great, as well as Kathy Bates as Jo, and James Spader as Robert California!! Omg!
    I still watch it all the time.

    If you have 3 minutes to be distracted, this whole scene has to be one of the best ever. SOOO funny in sooo many different ways.

    The school I teach at does yearly CPR/First Aid training, and this scene was sent around our teacher group chat recently.

    Yep, much prefer Office Space over The Office. Didn't think The Office was all that funny. Maybe it's because I think Steve Carrel isn't that good of an actor.
