Why I Love The Office
“Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.” - Michael Scott.
How many times have you watched The Office? My answer is yes. I honestly don't know how many times I have watched this great show because it has been on repeat since 2020. I was an adult when the show originally aired. I remember being excited to watch it, but I can't recall actually tuning in each week. It wasn't until the pandemic of 2020 that I started watching it on Netflix.
Now, since the show has left Netflix, I have to subscribe to NBC's Peacock to watch it. I'm not a fan of the subscription model for Peacock, but I'll endure it for the sake of the show. They include superfan episodes, which include extended scenes. These are basically deleted scenes, but I enjoy watching them nonetheless.
What's so great about the show?
It's hilarious. There are apparent funny parts, but then there are the subtle ones you sometimes don't catch the first time around. Even after all this time, I'll still find something new to laugh about. This show has my kind of humor.
I like banter, but I hate witty banter.
-Kevin Malone
I'm afraid I have to disagree with Kevin. I love witty banter, and this show is riddled with it. Whenever I need a good laugh, I watch it. When I clean, I have it on in the background. Sometimes, it's just playing in my AirPods while I wash dishes. I don't even have to see it; I can already picture what's happening in my head. I find comfort in this show. I'll watch it Whenever I feel anxious or nervous about something. When I'm eating lunch or dinner, I'll have it on. My iPad is mainly used for watching the Office. I've considered a second iPad for my digital planning and other things. That's ridiculous since I could watch it on the TV, which I do sometimes. I love watching on my iPad because it's more mobile.
It takes an advanced sense of humor. I don't expect everyone to understand.
-Michael Scott
There are so many good lines and quotes from this show that it's almost impossible to choose your favorite. If I had to pick one at this moment, it would be from Michael. He has the best quotes. What's your favorite quote?
My philosophy is, basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't, ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or, or where you've been. Ever. For any reason. Whatsoever.
