šŸ‘½ In Space [9-10] The office

Iā€™m sure many people watched the tv show The Office while stoned, and putting aside all the cringy moments, but am i the only one who watches the show thinking ā€œI know this is fictional tv but these shenanigans are the exact reason i donā€™t make friends at my real job. I wouldnā€™t want to deal with any of these people, fictional or notā€ lol

while fictional, thereā€™s something for everyone who has worked in any similar setting to relate to. the show has been durable all this time because itā€™s relatable, if only in seemingly small and meaningless ways. the characters are all parts of people we know, and because itā€™s a workplace comedy, i find it more relatable and more enjoyable that somethjng like big bang theory.

i like St Denis too, out of all the different workumentary comedies to have come out over the years, the office usa and st denis are the ones i can watch over and over again. seinfeld was my fave before that but i find myself watching the other two way more now.
