is not a personality. Nor is hating it, of course. People love to jump on any chance they get to quote the show or tell you why you’re an idiot for liking it. It’s almost like you can’t get to 200 episodes without annoying the hell out of a lot of people. While the sitcom is too prominent in the zeitgeist to call it polarizing, the show’s many detractors have a very common gripe with it, one that this fan cannot fault them for.
The show has often been criticized for being too cringey. Imbued with dry humor throughout and led by an irritating moron of a character, the show has a penchant for playing off uncomfortable moments for comedy. When done well, like season four’s “Dinner Party,” the uncomfortableness is lifted to a level of absurdity and foolishness that soothes over the awkwardness. When done poorly, though, it’s just nauseating, with one particular episode earning an infamous reputation for being unwatchable.
More often than not, the pilot is the least favorite episode of a TV series. They are tasked with establishing a new world before all the pieces are fully in place. The first episode ofisn’t that especially high on the cringe meter but it’s certainly not entertaining in the least. Every character but Michael Scott is trying their hardest to do the least, which honestly describes the entire hard to watch first season. However, unlike later episodes, the pilot is more irritating than it is boring.
us? Six seasons into what had been cemented as one of the most popular sitcoms ever and they drop an episode so unwatchable it’s become the stuff memes are made of. It’s one thing for Michael to fail to deliver on meager promises made to his coworkers; it’s another to watch him force his delusions of grandeur onto a room of POC grade school students whose college tuition he stupidly promised to pay for. It goes beyond second hand embarrassment and into second hand nausea.
