I can't stand Gervais. He has this tendency to turn anything he's involved in into this boring, grey soup of flavourless unfunniness.

He is the archetype of le enlightened atheist and is soooo edgy about it.

That said, The Office remains one of my all time favourite shows.

Honestly, I thought The Office was hot garbage. But Gervais is in it and my above point applied to it for me.

Also not a fan of The Office, it's not my sort of humour.

However, it is a great litmus test for finding the dickheads in a crowd. They're the ones that like to try and imply you can't have worked in an office or must be uneducated if you didn't like it. (I should point out I have the same opinion of that argument applied to any book, TV series, film etc.)

Each to their own. I thought the Office was awesome.

Same but if someone doesn't like it, I totally get it. I've never worked in an office either, not properly.

[Gorefest]

I don't see why it matters. The physical Slough office is just a setting that helps to contain a bunch of interesting characters in a relatively confined space with a hierarchical structure. The aim of the series is to explore social awkwardness and human nature with its whole range of emotions, from shallow pettiness and perceived self-importance through to friendship bonds and blossoming love interests. You could have set it in a high school teacher's office or a lawyer's firm or whatever, but a fairly generic office setting lends itself perfectly for this goal.

I was never a massive fan because I generally dislike that kind of cringe comedy, especially the really awkward style that the faux documentary generates

[QuickTidal]

The US OFFICE > The UK OFFICE.

Because the lead character, a selfish, awkward D-bag...is allowed to use those experiences to grow into something much better,and those around him by default.

David Brent explores the cringe humour and stops.

Michael Scott explores the cringe humour and then steps out of those boundaries and becomes something altogether more rewarding.

There are a few moments in the US OFFICE where I knew it was heading in the right direction before this one, but this is inarguably the moment I KNEW I was watching something quite special. what makes this even better is that Michael has zero idea what this means to Pam, how low she is that no one turned out to her show...if he DID know he might have said or did something cringe....but because he's accidentally doing it, it's much more pure and a distillation of who he REALLY is underneath all the bluster and idiocy. It's perfection.

[Mezla PigDog]

A night out alone in Milton Keynes. Not usually even nearly a cause for celebration but I haven't been properly alone in weeks. I'm staying over for work near our HQ and was supposed to be taking a new guy out for dinner. He's sick so I took myself out for dinner instead and then went to see the latest Star Wars movie. Result.

[Tiste Simeon]

Had a lovely evening with Mrs Tiste, eating fajitas and finishing off the LOTR trilogy.

The bit with "Gondor calls for aid"

"And Rohan shall answer!" is the biggest fist pumping, spine tingling moment in film history. And I shall fight any who disagree!

[Malankazooie]

Me and a few of the lads are going to make the drive and do the tour Saturday afternoon. So pumped.

[EmperorMagus]

Going to Geneva for 10 days on my school's dime in March. It's a work trip, but still, I'm excited.

[Tsundoku]

Brisvegas baby, YEAH!

[Slow Ben]

At least we don’t have to listen to Tulsi though eh?

What kind of drink? Can you put it in a stiff drink or does it have to be a soft one?

A long drink, at least, is a must I'd reckon.
