An American Workplace: The History of The Office

[@airplanelife9839]

If ever there was a show that was casted perfectly, it is The Office. Each actor played the character to perfection. There can never be another Michael Scott nor can there ever be another Dwight K. Schrute.

[@razkable]

rainn gave dwight a weird calm sympathetic performance the other actors simply could not do which would mean he would just be the creepy jerk character...with no subtly or likeability imo...

[@shawnuel]

Credit to casting director, Allison Jones, who seems attached to so many really well cast shows. Freaks and Geeks, Office, Parks and Rec, The Good Place etc.

[@TrippyKenpachi]

I can’t believe they originally wanted John Krasinski as Dwight. So glad he had the foresight to turn it down and hold out for Jim.

[@DWilliam1]

Sadly I know a real life Dwight Schrute…

[@noveaubleu702]

There a bunch of randoms in the pilot in the background glad they got the people they got

[@itspricila]

the office is one those shows you can always rewatch and not get tired of

[@razkable]

what i love most is its not a simple set up then punchline type comedy show cough like big bang theory...i hate shows like that...office knows its funny without that formula

[@willcantelo5647]

YES

[@Obiter3]

Watch a little longer, it's basically 30 clips reorganized into 6 thousand hours of KZbin time

[@Toriana_Shavon_LaVannah_Blade]

I’m literally an addict. I’ve watched the entire series at least twenty times and that’s not to mention how many I’ve watched certain seasons. Season 4 is probably my favorite. Season 7 is the saddest followed by season 9. I can relate to every character. Creed might be my favorite!!

[@alexandervincent6378]

not when its on peacock

[@brandenhill71]

I think Steve Carell said it best when asked time and time again to do a reboot. He basically said that you cannot recreate Camelot. The Office happened at the time and with the people it was meant to and it ended the way it was meant to end, I think you leave something this perfect alone. It is like a work of art.

[@ImRanchWilder]

Absolutely. Except it hung around for some subpar seasons after Carrell left...

[@L1KECLOCKWORK]

Amen

[@markpodolsky6004]

Ihtt

[@NightKnuckles]

Apparently Steve Carell has an idea for a revival episode

[@NaughtyKannadiga]

@Mr. Melendez it doesn't harm the original.. But you should take the example of friends and the spinoff of joey, what the Joey's spinoff did was it made it hard for audience to watch it because they couldn't see the lovely joey struggle again, they wanted it to be a happy ending

[@The_Howling_Wolf_ADAM]

Little did they knew, The Office would become the show that no one could get enough of. The only show you can watch 10x and still laugh and cry each and every time! What a great edit you did !

[@shawnuel]

I can watch Parks & Rec over and over and get emotional every time, too.

[@BlakeLovesPoland]

@@shawnuel parks and rec = the office

[@jumbomuffin1316]

@@shawnuel I find it boring. Never watched after the 1st episode

[@shawnuel]

@@jumbomuffin1316 We all follow our own star, man!

[@shawnuel]

@@jumbomuffin1316 I will say this, however. I did not watch Parks and Rec regularly until 2019 because when I watched the first 3 episodes they were not particularly good. Then, I would start catching later season eps on Comedy Central and thought they were hilarious. It didn’t even resemble what it would become until ep. 6 of season 1 and the first great episode was season 2 ep. 10, The Hunting Trip. Once Rob Lowe and Adam Scott joined the last 2 eps. of season 2, it really caught its stride.

[@omarridhwan799]

I wish I can forget the show so that I can experience watching the show for the first time again

[@KariTalks]

I rewatched the show with my husband who has never seen it and seeing his genuine reactions to the absurdity added so much to the experience

[@dynis15]

I’ve always thought the same exact thing

[@kayaye7481]

I have that wish about SO…. So many different series. And some films. (Like. Way more often than eye / anyone should) at least I’m not the onLy one! 😉👍🏻

[@Groov3_]

I first watched when I was 15 in high school, then in college like 19, now again at 23 and it still gets funnier to me I can’t lie, like every episode is hilarious bro I legit laugh out loud with this show

[@rebekahstockley4866]

That is exactly how I feel.

[@fuzzybanana0123]

My heart sank when Carrell said him leaving would be good for the show in the long run. Falser words have never been spoken.

[@kellijones6481]

Once he left, it never felt like The Office again. Myself and many others knew months in advance that he was leaving the show. I heard from a lot of people that it wouldn’t hurt the quality of the show, even hearing from one of my friends that “oh Jim and Pam will carry the show for another 3 or 4 seasons, they’re the heart of The Office anyway” and no disrespect to Jim and Pam but a lot of the interest in them was gone after Niagara, because we didn’t get another 3 or 4 seasons, we got one pretty crappy one that had a few moments and the god awful season 9 (with the exception of the Finale). Michael Scott was the heart of the show. It’s why I was thrilled when he showed up in the series finale, because even though it was just a small cameo, it just felt right, after enduring how terrible the last season was, we had finally come full circle and it was The Office once again. I’m glad I watched season 8 and 9 despite not liking them, but in my 5 rewatches of the show, I always watch the first seven seasons, then skip ahead to the final three episodes

[@N36799]

@@kellijones6481 I couldn’t agree more. I feel like Steve Carrels departure from the show shouldn’t have even been reality as the final 2 seasons could have been so much more with him included but honestly I think it was Rainn Wilson (Dwight Shrute) who carried the final seasons as his character development from season 1-9 was absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t change it for a thing. The show could’ve been so much more entertaining and enjoyable if Steve Carrel had stayed on but it is what it is.

[@dcaseng]

People focus too much on what could have been, instead of what was. The Office may not have been the same after he left, but it was still very good in my opinion.

[@kellijones6481]

@@dcaseng Season 8 had it’s moments, but I disagree, the quality of the show noticeably declined. Season 9 was atrocious, with the exception of the final 3 episodes

[@eld6134]

I enjoyed season 8 and I think it could have gone on longer without him but they played the characters all wrong. Season 9 was largely an embarrassing train wreck - I can’t rewatch that season. So sad it ended on such a low to be honest

[@banananaman87]

imagine if Josh Radnor played Jim. There were so many times the office could've taken the wrong path, but yet here we are. This is an incredibly well-done video. Thank you!

[@lizzieyaneli]

Let alone that that wasn’t Josh’s calling. He said before landing HIMYM, it was his 4th pilot, meaning he had audition for a bunch of roles before HIMYM and he didn’t get those, meaning The Office was one of those who rejected them, fortunately for the show and also for Josh Radnor.

[@christophermoore9436]

Jim and Pam would’ve gotten together in the last season and in the last episode, Jim goes back to Karen

[@stephaniek.2298]

[@InnoVision3D]

Thank you so much! This series is very close to my heart so I wanted to do it justice. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kaluca]

It has over a million views now

[@mordaciousfilms]

Everyone in the cast portrays a character we can identify with, who feels like a living person. Everyone has a story, everyone has a purpose. I've never seen a show that balanced such outrageous comedy in such a grounded and believable way where I've literally found myself being able to empathize and see myself in EVERY character at one point or another and that is a testament to the writing staff and performers and what a great mesh of talent this show employed.

[@serienglotzer9472]

What is going on? By the end of this video i checked how many millions of people watched it before me. KZbin please fix your algorithm. This guy deserves more. Great work man!

[@InnoVision3D]

[@coolusernameftw7055]

They SO made the right choice having Michael and Andy change their characters to more ... Likeable versions of themselves ya know? I went from kinda liking the show... To borderline obsessed with how much I liked that show for awhile 😂🤙

[@Adam-xf3ko]

Right, the British version of Scott is unbearable. My least favorite part. They nailed it when they gave Michael more depth.

[@shotty2164]

Yeah. It then they totally destroyed Andy’s character in the end for no reason.

[@sp9459]

@@shotty2164 so true with this whole boat trip thing they ruined everything. In my opinion he was a great manager till then. I would have loved to see Dwight accepting Andy as the legal successor to Michael. When Andy got to Scranton he always competed with Dwight. It would have been great seeing him win the manager job while Dwight won Angela at the end. I also think Andy should have ended with Erin…

[@MarthaMay20]

They never played The Office where I live (Slovakia), I have never even heard of it until recently. I gave it a shot at 2021 New Years Eve, and watched the whole show in January 2022. It was a best decision of my life. I absolutely loved the show and can see myself rewatching it many times just like Friends and New Girl, and other tv sgows I love. ♡

44:07 - Andy’s free fall being the biggest disservice to a character in a series! SO TRUE. Interesting watching this it picks up on the rumours that Steve Carrell didn’t totally choose to leave and at the time he did and that the network didn’t want him ( god knows why but that has been a rumour for a while) . In the same way they seemed to dislike how big Steve became they punished Ed Helms for his Hangover success by giving him crappy stories in the end, ruining Andy and ending him as a failure and a fool.

Great job man. Seriously, this is better than anything NBC could have made about The Office, and perfectly exemplifies why independent content makers should not be marginalised, penalised, or interfered with by KZbin or "rights holders" - especially when those parties are ultimately benefiting from the inevitable propulsion of viewership that this kind of stuff creates.
