Line Between Realism

You know probably as well as I do that NBC came up with a brilliant TV show when they started producing episodes of 'The Office'. With the cast that they have selected, I have had more laughs than I can probably get from any other show. Well, there is My Name Is Earl, Family Guy, and a few others, but 'The Office' is pretty high up there on the list of my all time favorite comedies. I know that I'm not alone, which is why you are here looking for The Office DVD Board Game Review. I have what you are looking for. Read on.

The brilliance of the series lies in this juxtaposition of the seemingly boring with the outrageous. Gervais and Marchant tread the line between realism and farce perfectly, and go just far enough to be bust-out hilarious, but not so far that it seems out of the realm of possibility. This is really the only way a show like The Office could really work, as it feels like you're part of the office staff, just observing the day-to-day happenings of the Wernham Hogg staff, from the subtle flirting between Tim and receptionist Dawn (Lucy Davis) to the raucous behavior of the boys who work in the warehouse.

Because it's a mockumentary, The Office DVD doesn't rely on slapstick gags for laughs, but rather the comedy is formed around odd -- and usually uncomfortable -- situations, frequently initiated by David Brent, who wants to be more of a friend than a boss. David, who's a bit of a tit, just wants to be respected and liked by his staff, but the unfortunate thing is that he just isn't that lovable or funny, and his "sense of humor" leaves the staff disgusted and speechless. Ironically, these silent bits are some of the funniest parts of the show, most often coming when Brent makes an off-color joke that no one laughs at and Tim looks directly at the camera with an uncomfortable gaze as if we're in on the joke of David's unbearable lameness.
