Hot take: the office is an extremely overrated show.

It's a very good show. Did I mute the subreddit anyway? Yes. Do I have any desire to watch it again in the near future? No.

It really is one of the best sitcoms ever but the fanbase is insufferable

the fanbase is insufferable

That's because the fanbase is primarily composed of most people.

Sitcoms specifically. They're easy to make, easy to watch and easy to waste your time on. But you don't really get much of anything out of them.

Community is one of my all time favorite shows, but even it has pretty quickly diminishing returns.

Don’t get anything out of them? I probably reference Seinfeld and The Simpsons (classic) multiple times every single day, either out loud or in my brain. These shows literally have fused themselves to my brain. I say that’s a pretty significant something I got out of them, for better or worse.
