The Office (NBC) TV Show • Page 46

This is the correct response.

 

Personally I feel like Parks and Recreation is more consistently good over the entire series but the highs of the office are ... higher. I mostly base that on how much I quote from either show on a daily basis and what I tend to rewatch more without getting tired or bored of it

 

was just lookin for some context since p and r is like my fav show of all time

 

Parks and Rec is definitely way more consistently good from start to finish (minus season 1). The Office really does drop off a lot in S6, but S7 is way better. Then it's been pretty alright since Steve Carrel left.

It bothers me how much they changed Andy once Michael Scott left, though. They basically just merged the two characters.

 

Both are great shows, but I prefer The Office overall because I care more about the characters.

 

Besides the documentary framing, they're almost opposites. "The Office" often centered on being mean-spirited and cringy, where "Parks & Rec" was about its characters cheering each other on (even if it's reluctantly for Ron and April). Also, for the most part, P&R got better as it added more characters, where "The Office" got worse.

 

The “people being out for themselves” atmosphere is why more people connect with The Office. It rings true to many people who work in offices/corporations. I thoroughly enjoy Parks, but The Office has much greater cultural significance.

 

The Case for Robert California

Not sure if this has been posted already, but this was a fun read.

 

"I'm calling the Better Business Bureau."
"Yeah well I'm calling the Ungrateful Biatch hotline!"

Rainn Wilson just about holding it together during that scene.

 

Other than maybe going too far with the name calling, this is one of the few scenes that I can remember where I thought Michael was completely in the right

 

Smile if you love men’s prostates!

 

Andys Play is a gem of an episode. One of the best of the last 3 seasons.

 

Going through my first watch of this show ever. On season seven, and Andy is definitely my favorite character. The Sweeney Todd episode is one of my favorites.

 

It’s a pimple, Phyllis. Avril Lavigne gets them all the time, and she rocks harder than anyone alive.

 

7 gets too much hate. Going through it again (for the 6th time?) and every episode is still pretty hilarious

 

Holly and Michael kissing on the roof tho. Gets me every time

 

The Scarn dance is too fucking funny

 

7 is a LOT better than 6, which is the worst season with Michael

 

just started season 5 and god damnit.

 

up to this point i think the funniest part of the series for me was when holly gets confronted about thinking kevins legit retarded. i laughed for a solid minute straight.

 

This is hilarious

TIL Phyllis from "The Office" would pay bills and do Christmas shopping online from the office computers in the background. • r/todayilearned

 

I remember, way back when Myspace was still thriving, Jenna Fischer used to post Myspace blogs while they were filming and then spend her time responding to comments while she was “working” in the background.

 

I'd kill to have been able to visit the office during the time it was on the air. Actually, I'd even love to check it out NOW...
