I hate all those Judd Apatow movies, and I dislike Steve Corell.

His over the top scenery chewing makes The Office unwatchable to me... like everyone else on the show besides utterly bland Jim and Pam are quirky and weird, but believable. Corell's Michael Scott is so blatantly stupid and inappropriate and immature it clashes with the show's understated "documentary" approach.

Also, just to finish off my American The Office rant: Jim is really bland, and I get that he's the male audience stand-in - but he's kind of a mean bully to Dwight. Clearly Dwight is weaker physically and emotionally, and Jim just relentlessly bullies him often for no good reason or without any provocation. Dwight is a dork, and annoying, but he's powerless and insecure... and Jim just preys on him and bullies him to where it disgusts me. Jim gains nothing material from it most of the time.

It was great at the time of release but i dont think it aged well especially since Apatow movies just copied themselves after it came out, making this just another one of them. If youre just watching it now its nothing special but it hit at the right time

Dwight is constantly being singled out and bullied, seems like all that is a defense mechanism. Jim and Pam often just play mean pranks on him for no reason at all, and it's clear he is incapable of pranking them back with any level of competence. For all his faults, he is no threat.

Nah, he's not cool, but that's no excuse to treat someone like garbage. Remember: the show is written to where Jim a Pam are supposed to be the sympathetic protagonists... Dwight is portrayed as an antagonist, but he's really just a poor weirdo that gets relentlessly bullied.

A show like Parks and Rec did it better with Jerry - it put a lampshade on it and made the audience understand the joke was that he didn't deserve all the shit he got, almost a satire of characters like Dwight.

Everyone that loves 40 year old virgin is a millenial I'm guessing, and there's a strong sense of nostalgia tied to it.

That movie is so early 2000s peak trash era to me.

Tbf, it's not like The Office doesn't get to this same point itself.

It doesn't need to be spelled out. You fundamentally misunderstand the entire series

It does need to be explained because I presented an argument for why Jim is a bully, a d that Dwight being socially awkward and unpleasant doesn't justify the constant harassment. Especially since the show establishes how Dwight is not an actual threat to Jim.

Maybe this dynamic changes in later seasons, but I remember a lot oft friends were really into the show at the time, so I saw probably all of the first season or two. I stopped watching around season three or four, and would see episodes occasionally after that for context.

Jim is sometimes a bully (and he has some moments of regret later in the series), but it is prompted by Dwight being an insufferable co-worker. Pranking him is more harmless than actually reporting him to HR.

Yeah, I use to love, but a couple of years ago; I watched it again for the first time in a long while and it wasn't as great as I remembered. Still a fun movie though.

I second Step Brothers being ass.

I think Judd Apatow movies thrived on edgy bro dude culture which has since become cringier than the subjects these movies used to mock.

Like dumbass 15 year olds who turned their brain off and go hahahhaha sex joke hahahhaha.

I could get that criticism. I don't really hold onto Knocked Up or other Apatow movies the way I do 40 Year Old Virgin. And I believe he produced Superbad which I love. Most of his movies are one and done. He needs and EDITOR.

lol dwight earns at least some of the pranks done to him.

he tries to lock the women out of the bathroom iirc because of some jokes.

he starts a fire to teach a lesson he has no business teaching. that leads to stanley having a heart attack i think.

had an affair with angela when she was with andy. equal parts her fault, but there are a few instances (this one included) where dwight tries sticking it to andy because he doesn't like him. shorting him on his suv and then selling it for profit is another. should andy have known better? sure. but dwight did it on purpose.

stuck angela's cat in the fridge when it was still alive and it froze to death and while she's crying he walks away.

stealing jims biggest client after making it tough for jim to finish the call over the course of the day.

there's probably more but that's off rip. plus multiple instances of him being sexist, and his general demeanor being aggressive and hostile.
