The Office.

The Office.  

(que piano theme song here.)

This television show is my absolute favorite show.
I cannot go a week without watching an episode, and honestly, this show is the only reason I keep an active Netflix account.

It's simply hilarious and outrageously sarcastic. The awkward humor makes me cringe at times, but it makes the show, what it is.

The Office is supposed to be a documentary following a everyday American work place and while the story line is that, the characters in the show are versions of your co-workers just exaggerated.

Example A: Michael Scott (regional manager) just gets it.

Example B: John Krasinski as Jim Halpert. He'll make you fall in love in three episodes or less, money back guaranteed. Acting as the comedic relief, the best friend, and of course the realist, he keeps the show down to earth.

Example C: Micheal and Toby's relationship is just like every single relationship you've dreamed of having with that one person that you just don't like. Everyone has one person they can't stand.

Example D:  Two words, one name. CREED BRATTON. creepiest man, and yet everyone has that one creepy, sketchy person in their life. 

Example E: Dwight & Jim. A friendship that was so much more than two co-workers forced to sit by each other for 8 years. 

and last but not least, Example F:  Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly. My favorite love story, of almost all time. 

But. The largest reason I believe this show is amazing, is because everything is so simple, and it takes place in a simple setting with average characters. No one has super powers, no one makes it big, no one does anything absolutely life-changing. It happens in a Paper Selling Company, it's (for the most part) the same characters for all 8 years. 

I love this show because its not about finding your dreams and living them. It's about keeping a steady job and dealing with real life things. Its about making the best with what you already have. 

The office is about taking average things, and making them special to you, making them happy and good enough for you.
