No disrespect if you like those things, but I just don't get it. Don't get Will Ferrell, either.
The Office is one of those shows that has witty comedy.
Similar to Arrested Development.
Guess you have to understand the jokes.

Re: Steve Carrell Is Not Funny
I think you guys are crazy, the office is hilarious. Not just because of Steve Carrell, but the rest of the cast is very good as well.
I can understand the dislike of evan almighty though, I heard that movie sucked.

Yes. Exactly.
It's not like Married with Children or the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It's not for some, but if you've worked in the real world, it hits so many chords, IMO. I mean, I go through stuff like that EVERY day. That's why that show is hilarious to me. And Arrested Development.....oh man. I need to stop before I start tearing up. Or bust out my AD DVDs. One or the either.

Arrested Development was funny and I could understand the jokes.
Fatboy11-Nope,I've yet to work in an office type setting and yeah im more amused by dark comedies than dry comedy.

Wow, I guess I'm smart enough to have a master's degree but still too stupid to get the office.
Apparently, all the academic credentials in the world mean nothing if you don't find Steve Carell funny. If you don't like the office, then you're just not ready (or have never contributed to) the real world, is that right?
Pretty elitist of you both. I love Arrested Development, by the way.

Agreed, but it seems like some posters in this thread don't understand that.

I've stopped expecting too much out of people's opinions on the Internet.

Re: Steve Carrell Is Not Funny
I saw get smart, and it was a pretty good movie. There were a lot of little funny things to keep you engaged, and the story was pretty good aswell. They didn't almost catch the bad guy right into the movie, then you get strung along for another hour, but they found clues and stuff like that. I reccomend you go see it.

No one said anything about intelligence. Some of the smartest people I know have absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever. I'm not saying that you don't, but I'm just pointing out that intelligence has nothing to do with it because I'm of average intelligence myself.
You're completely putting words in my mouth so I don't know what else to say. If you worked in an office environment, you're probably going to find The Office funny or you really don't have a witty sense of humor. Doesn't mean you're stupid or that you don't have a sense of humor at all.

More directed at the other poster's comments than yours. Apologies for overreating, though.

Oh yeah, Mitch Kramer?
Re: Steve Carrell Is Not Funny
His character in "The Office" is completely overboard. I find everybody else on the show to be hilarious but him.

No biggie. I could see where I was coming across that way.
But I really can't see how people don't think The Office is funny. People don't, though. It's one of the few comedies I can watch.
