This season of the office is probably the funniest and most creative season which I have seen. I do enjoy all of the seasons, but this season in particular seems to be the one that all of the characters most enjoy playing their roles. There is something to be said for the ability to come up with ridiculous, yet funny scenarios right on the spot. I say this because while watching the extras, it seemed that the characters had quite a bit of freedom to take the conversation where they wanted it to go. Some other details about the show which greatly add to its interest and creativity are the camera angles, facial expressions, interpersonal conflicts within the office, and Michael's complete inability, despite valiant efforts, to treat a "politically incorrect" topic with respect. I usually find myself saying..."He can not really be saying/doing that, can he?" And that is why I find it funny.
Who ever came up with the idea to interview each one of the office members individually really had a good idea. It appeals to people's desire to know what's "really going on" and helps you to better understand why certain characters act the way they do in their day to day activities. I think I would be much more confused as to what was going on and the sense of humor would not be as funny if they didn't explain some things before hand in the "one on one interviews."
Every single one of the characters in the office makes very unique facial expressions. I don't know that the show would be even half as funny as it is without the facial expressions. Some scenes seem to consist of nothing but facial expressions and they really do say it all.
I love the relationships within the office which seem to make no sense whatsoever. Who would have thought that Toby would be the most disdained employee in the office? What are Angela and Dwight all about? And why in the world do Dwight and Andy fight like small children to earn Michael's affection? Why do Jim and Pam deny the fact that they obviously love spending time together, and should probably just get together? None of it makes much sense, but it is quite entertaining to watch.
Michael is probably the best example of political incorrectness that there is. It is funny how he not only butchers the topics that they discuss, but he also displays a bit of how tricky it becomes when we have to tip toe around so many topics in the work place these days. He says some things that many of us quietly wonder to ourselves at times, but that we know are just not ok to ask out loud, especially in a meeting at work. Even though Michael is completely outlandish and uncensored, there is still a soft heart behind his actions, which allows him to still be a likeable character.
Even though The Office is a clean show over all, it still does incorporate many suggestive comments and scenarios. Although this is not uncommon today in our culture's media, I do believe it is still regrettable, and the show could be just as humorous without adding innuendos.
I don't know that many people fifty years ago would understand this show at all, or appreciate it for that matter. Overall, The Office is a comical depiction of contemporary American culture, uncensored. The relationships within the office exemplify true to life scenarios including competition, deception, romance, and many others. I would recommend this season to anyone who is looking to kill a few brain cells and for a good laugh.
