THE OFFICE: Be More Funny!

From the moment Michael accidently hit Meredith with his car to the big reveal that Jim and Pam are finally together, last night’s episode of THE OFFICE felt more like THE OFFICE: 90210 18501.

Which begs the question, why exactly do you watch THE OFFICE? If you’re tuning in for straight out hilarity, we have a feeling you’re going to find this season somewhat disappointing. Yet if you’re more into the relationship melodrama and far more subtle humor last night’s episode was what you’ve been waiting three seasons for.

A happy Pam, Jim dumping Karen, JAM, sorry PB&J together. What shippers aren’t on cloud nine?

Yet it’s pretty clear that the ‘funny’ took a back-seat last night. Sure there were a few laugh-out-loud moments [Michael presenting a cheque to ‘Science’ comes to mind], but they were few and far between. So much so that Creed is slowing creeping up [in more ways than one] as the show’s break-out star. Who didn’t love his take on cults? “I’ve been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.”

Creed, if when you start a cult, sign this TV Addict up.

That said, it was great to return to television’s funniest OFFICE [with apologies to BACK TO YOU]. It will be fascinating to watch how the writers continue to balance the comedy with the funny.
