1. If anything they toned it down for the US version

2. And the comedy comes from how ridiculous and stupid they all are.

3. People don’t get the joke lol

4. So it was a pretty good slice of American life.

5. Ya, ordinary people. 

6. Why is he always the last one to figure it out?

   That shit wasn’t hidden, it was a feature. So is Always Sunny and it’s still running. The point is that they’re *transparently* awful people, so we can make fun of them. None of it is sneaky or malicious

7. That’s what she said.

8. We’re not laughing with them, Rainn, we’re laughing at them.

9. Way to bite the hand that feeds you.

10. Rainn Wilson sucks.

    He gives stupid half baked opinions all the time. Annoying because I want to like him.

11. People in a real office are clueless, insensitive, racist, sexist people

12. Any time anyone makes the: “they couldn’t make that today” statement, it’s the dumbest thing.

13. So… people in an office? I’m sorry, but Rainn seems to be having a bit of a mid-life/career crisis, and his takes on the office are starting to come off as either holier than thou, or tainted from his experiences. I love the office, and now the paper, but dude, move onnnnnnn.

14. Since the tradition of the court jester, a key function of comedy is to say the things we shouldn’t say in ‘polite society’. Rainn is being an uptight wally.

15. So does Rainn Wilson just hate acting cause he seems to complain about it all the time. I don’t think I’ve ever heard talk about a positive experience.

16. So it was just like every workplace in america, shut up dude

17. Ricky Gervais felt this to his core.

18. Is this just click bait? Who is offended by this show

19. The uk office was relentless in it’s realism, I love the way it depicted people so accurately

20. This dude is boring as fuck

21. That’s why we watched, Rain man

22. Kinda felt like that was the point? No one was watching the show to find characters that modeled the ideal society – it’s a hyperbolic depiction of day to day office life in the US, lol.

23. Stop trying to cancel The Office dumbass, not gonna happen.

24. All this guy does is piss and moan about his privileged life.

25. But it was not so bad when he was getting paid.

26. Isn’t that the point of the show? To hold up a mirror to menu in American society?
    ( yes, I know it’s an adaptation of a British show),

27. That was kind of the point no?

28. Sooo… a show about an American workplace 🤷🏻‍♂️

29. It was tame as fuck, calm down Rainn
