Profile of The Office

The Office can be described as cynical, witty, and humorous. The plot revolves around an obnoxious boss, workplace situations, and power relations. Its comic aspect comes from dry humor and satire. The Office's main genre is comedy. In terms of style, it is a mockumentary, is a fake documentary, and stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. The Office is set, at least in part, in an office. It is located in England. It takes place in contemporary times. The Office has received attention for being a hit series, original, and a modern classic.

Summary of The Office

When the Wernham Hogg paper merchants needed someone to come in and shape up their office, they found the man who definitely thinks he is the most capable candidate in David Brent (Ricky Gervais). Brent rules a tight ship, but at the same time tries to be every employee's best friend. Brent is the centerpiece for this brilliant satire of 9-5 office life. Camera crews follow Brent and his employees around in this British series that uses no laugh track, and doesn't need it. The razor sharp comedy will have audiences in stitches.

Didn't like it as much as the American version. Sorry

I love the American version of this, and this would probably be funny if you were British or knew more british slang, but I didn't laugh much at this. Read and rate it

I adored this show. The characterization struck just the right balance between sympathetic and obnoxious. The parody is sometimes muted, but always funny without being completely over the top. The situations poke fun at the dull gray life of... Read and rate it
