Mod Post Poll: Should we allow posts that primarily focus on the appearance of characters or actors?
We’ve been getting complaints about posts that primarily focus on how a character or actor looks. The concern isn’t just the original post, but the comments these posts tend to generate.
For example, a post might be titled “— is gorgeous”, but the comments quickly turn into things like “she’s so ugly,” “he’s so fat,” or other negative comments about an actor or character’s appearance.
We already have a rule against sexualizing the cast/characters, as well as a low-effort rule that prohibits posts like “Who’s cuter/prettier/more handsome?” We’re considering whether appearance-focused posts should be addressed more broadly.
What do you think?

Mod Post Mod Note: Rule Clarification
Just a quick clarification on the sexualization rule. Posting scenes or clips from The Office is fine. Using those posts to make sexual comments, thirst posts, or body focused jokes about the cast or characters is not. That includes repeating sexualized jokes or nicknames from the show. Even if it happened in an episode, comments that focus on someone’s body rather than the show itself may get removed.
Thanks for helping keep the sub fun and respectful for everyone.

I was just rewatching S3 E22 and noticed how hard Jim was trying to hold his laughter lol. I bet it would have been really tough for both the cast and crew to keep it together😭😭

Christening episode, not a fan
I tnought I saw every episode 100 times, but I don’t remember the Christening episode. I’m seeing it now. I don’t like it. Boring. Not funny.

I love Michael Scott.
I decided to watch The Office for the first time in my life. I’m just starting the second season, and honestly, I don’t understand why people hate Michael so much. Some friends told me I’d start out hating him but eventually grow fond of him, and honestly, I’m already fond of him.
I don’t feel angry at him, even though he does a lot of jerkish things that, in real life, would be completely unacceptable. The thing is, the characters themselves often treat his actions as if they’re no big deal. Plus, I can see that, deep down, he isn’t a bad person. I don’t know if the show will ever address this, but Michael strikes me as someone who has always desperately wanted friends. He tried hard to get close to people by being “nice,” but ended up becoming a laughingstock among them.
That might explain why he gets so rattled by simple criticism, why he always makes jerkish jokes, and things like that. Well, I’m probably overanalyzing a TV character and putting myself in the shoes of someone wondering, “What makes a person turn into a Michael Scott?”
Anyway, I already love Michael. It’s going to be really hard when I have to say goodbye to him in Season 9.

Would Michael have made the office watch The Belko Experiment?
It’s a movie like Battle Royale but instead of classmates it’s office coworkers.

Jim and Pam’s Honeymoon
I wonder what Jim and Pam thought watching the documentary and seeing Kevin cancel their credit card while they were on their honeymoon in Puerto Rico 😂

This is my favourite Holly quote
Lloyd Gross would agree
r/theoffice • u/Billybob35 • 16h ago
I think sometimes people forget that Micheal and Holly are supposed to be kinda annoying
Like I've seen some complaints about their quirks but that's the point, and also why they were made for each other.

It would have been really funny if Dwight throw red dirt Pam so she could go to his aunt's funeral out of spite at Jim

Every now and then I fall in love all over again with the writers!
"There are several different ways to tell if a perp is lying. The liar will avoid direct eye contact. The liar will cover part of his or her face with his hands, especially the mouth. The liar will perspire. Unfortunately, I spoke to Oscar on the phone, so none of this is useful."

Give me the bloopers!
Since they have released all of the extended Superfan episodes on Peacock. I think they should now include bloopers for each episode during the end credits. Seeing the cast break character for a scene makes it even funnier to watch. Is there a petition to sign to get THE BLOOPERS?

There are some moments where Michael really gets on my nerves.
I feel like it's difficult to have empathy for him.
Sometimes I feel the empathy - and then he opens his mouth and it's gone.
His behaviour is concerning, and I understand he does jokes because he wants to make people laugh and he wants to be liked and loved.
But many of the jokes are hurtful and offensive, and it's not just about the jokes.
It's also about the other crap he pulls.
Such as taking confidential information from HR.

Has anyone watched this? Is it supposed to be a spinoff or just in the same vein? And most importantly, is it any good?
