The Office TV Show - The Office Television Show - Yahoo! TV

What is so funny about this show is that it takes the most normal things in everyday life and shows how funny it is! From the deadpan humor, to the awkward comments, the uncomfortable silences, the embarassing situations, the hilarious asides, the sexual innuendos, the bizarre, the lame, its all here!
Another thing that sets this show apart from other comedies is that it's all filmed as a documentary 'capturing' the moment. It doesn't feel like a 'forced-comedy' sitcom, where everyone has the perfect one-liner; this show's humor is more natural, which makes it even better! Its like being in a funny situation thinking, I wish we had a camera right now!'.
That sums up 'The Office'. ;-)

Thursday nights on NBC have their prima donna in The Office. Low-key, deadpan humor at its best. Using the mockumentary style enables the camera to be part of the show, so actors don’t have to ignore the lights and lenses. This style is used in Christopher Guest films like ‘A Mighty Wind’ and ‘Best in Show’, and I believe it’s a tremendous help to the actors.

Every line, every character, and every actor on The Office is spot-on. No matter how much of a jerk Carell’s character is, you just gotta love him. Right when you wish he’d get a kick in the head, we’re reminded how lonely he is. But no emotions are overplayed – looks and reactions are priceless (B.J. Novak as Ryan is GREAT at this), and all characters are 3-dimensional. The minds behind this show – ‘cross the pond and Stateside – have restored my faith in TV.

I work 2 jobs, 70 hours a week, and for 2.5 hours a week, I get to smile, and laugh, at the 4 best shows on television, especially The Office and BL. The individual acting, and eclectic cast, and dead-pan humor is great.

I was a fan of Ricky Gervais' original show but with time, Office US became as good and even better sometime.

Gervais and Carrel are 2 of the most funniest people in the world.
