Counterargument: The Office is my comfort slop but I also hate myself.
Not only it was never good but also super cringey and unfunny from my experience of watching some episodes of it.
To be fair it is cringe comedy so the fact that it is cringe is undeniable but also on purpose.
Ya I fucking hated it. The UK version wasn't enjoyable, and the US version is another level of shit.
I’ve never watched a clip, let alone an entire episode and I’m not starting now.
I think it started the mockumentory genre, but I probably wouldn't watch if you're young and not into that genre.
It's desperately unfunny
Counterpoint: The first season was a slog and I can see why people get turned off it. Not to say it's amazing after but it's pretty good until Steve Carrell leaves.
i thought it was funny :)
What's wrong with being over 30
Nothing's wrong with being over 30, we're just not in "The Demo" anymore.
Yeah, technically it's 18-34 but the segment of "The Demo" most stuff is targeted to is under 30.
Don't people 35 and up have more money? What makes kids so special? More impressionable?
Jesus I’m way outside ‘The Demo’
Roaming isn't a thing anymore?
Roaming nowadays has largely been surplanted by E-sims, but in this scene they're talking about inter-state roaming charges. The woman in the screenshot is from florida and she's supposedly getting roaming charges while in Pennsylvania
Even when the show came out roaming wasn’t a thing. Roaming has nothing to do with esims and it has to do with which cell network you are connected to. In the American context, if your provider is Verizon but where you are you can only connect to T-Mobile towers then you are roaming.
Every time I drive back to my parents' place I hit patches where I'm roaming.
The Office was never good.
