I couldn't stand the office
mind you I don't like much of the uk's 'comedy' tv output in recent years.
It's all a combination of catchphrases, cringing and haha-I'm-glad-I'm-not-as-stupid-as-him self-satisfied smugness.

Well the 'Did you watch X on telly last night' effect helps
but there are plenty of shit comedies that never made the grade, so it can't be just that.

this reminds me of those adverts for bands that pop up on tv
"OUT NOW [SOME SHITE] THE GREAT NEW MUST HAVE ALBUM FROM [SOME SHITE YOU HAVEN'T PREVIOUSLY HEARD OF]"
and like, it's amazing and everyone has to buy it
I'm filling up with hatred now
yay!

except there's no actual humour in The Office
unless you find stupid characters doing embarrassing things funny - which I reckon rates just below slapstick in the comedy stakes.

YES!!!!!!
A guy once told me that the only way to appreciate it is if you actually WORK in an office.....kinda like the only way that the "Blair Witch Project" would scare you is if you watched it in the WOODS.
But yes..... I thought it was total FUCKWANK!!

Well I'm just glad you said it
if I'd have said it, I would have anticipated lots of "The Office was fucking great!" flaming. But I have very diverse comedy tastes and yet I have never understood the humour of that show.

I was waiting for the flaming
I have a very diverse comedy taste too, and I have never found any of his stuff funny and it is the same thing over and over again.

I think the humour is somekind of Emperors New Clothes syndrome
it's cringeworthy comedy based upon "if you don't laugh you don't get it you fail fucka!" attitude and I simply don't get it.

That's what I meant
I don't get the humour I get the reference.

Whilst that would be very tempting
I would, by principle, have to allow the freedom of others to find this chortleworthy even if I don't.
/damn my principles!

we could burn all the American versions of The Office
that would be a principled act of kindness to the world.

why is it, with the story of the emporers new clothes
does it seem that the story just ends at the wrong place
I don't ever recall it ending with the child being executed, which surely would complete the story.
I'm very confused.
I don't understand things :/

There's too much pussyfooting political corectness nowadays bud.
in the 1990's only ALEX COX had the balls to say that since "A Clockwork Orange".....EVERYTHING that Kubrick turned out was SHITE.
It was the only time that somebody ever told him straight. Just an older example of what yer trying to say, that's all.

The orange was atually pretty DEEP for it's time......
....It was also AHEAD of it's time. Kubrick always figured up to his dying day that 2001 was his finest moment. I disagree. After he made ORANGE, he kept trying to make deep movies, but all he did was become an annoying
perfectionist who bugged the living hell out of those who worked for him.

Yes after the great ban I was expecting something really shocking
the most shocking thing I found about it was just how boring it actually was.
Hitchhikers was great as the BBC series but the new film was Meh!
2001 was, and will always be, a classic - even if it's a little too long and low on real action.

My film taste, like every thing, is very eclectic
I am having a classic classic film moment, watching films from the 1930s. Long films I can't really do, my attention goes after about an hour 30.
