Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesley (Jenna Fischer) are the local married couple of the show with Jim being a salesman-turned co-manager and back to salesman again, while Pam was Dunder Mifflin's receptionist-turned saleswoman and finally a cozy job as the local office administrator (there was no history of an administrator working in the office branch so Pam lied about it and appointed herself the job with nothing but a confident poker face and a passive corporate assistant named Gabe (Zach Woods)) Jim and Pam have a a cute, honest relationship of two people who were made for each other, but will occasionally argue like normal married couples, and having a baby girl named Cece who might be 1 1/2 to 2 years old with Pam being pregnant with a boy this year will obviously cause a few more fights, sleepless night, and other craziness that comes with kids but it's all worth it in the end.
As you've seen, having a replica of your desk made of wrapping paper collapse right when you sit in your "chair" is not fun, but it does improve co-worker relationships.....in a weird way. The Office has always provided that kind of unique, honest comedy. It has a dramatic sad side too, because it shows real people in sometimes unreal situations......if you count your work boss and two co-workers trying to do parkour around the building as unrealistic and they ending up failing badly. One of the sweetest and saddest moments in the show is when Michael leaves Dunder Mifflin and Jim lets him know that Michael has been the best boss he's ever had, even I started to tear up at that part.
When it comes to stereotypes, you'll be surprised how they have barely have any stereotypes. The only gay guy in the show is Oscar and he doesn't fit the gay stereotype at all, or the Latino stereotype either. He's the smartest person in the building and is one of the few voices of reason and rational thought, he has no stereotypical indications that he's gay and is very laid back about it.
This year, The Office has a new CEO in a man known as Robert California (James Spader) who is this Jedi weirdo who oozes confidence and sexuality like no other man before him. Spader brings his natural charisma and talent to make Robert scary and charming at the same time. With Steve Carrell's tearful departure last season, a lot of fans figured the next season would be the last, but with the ever lovable Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) as the new boss, the series is just as funny, and has pleased the fans.
The show's strengths are that it's funny, well-written, lovable, slightly realistic, contains the occasional guest star like Kathy Bates, Idris Elba, and Josh Groban as Andy's brother. It's weaknesses are that some people may not understand the series or be offended by the sex jokes and legendary "That's what she said" jokes. But overall, The Office doesn't disappoint with comedy especially when the series was adapted in the American version by Greg Daniels, who is the executive producer of The Simpsons and King of the Hill.
There remains one question to ask yourself: would you buy paper or do business with these guys?
