The Office ruined sitcoms possibly forever

[Hoppipolla]

Before The Office (the UK one) we had so many great comedies like Seinfeld and Red Dwarf and Blackadder. Just endless great stuff.

Since then... 80% of the comedies are just... cringe comedy. Boring, repetitive, unfunny cringe comedy. With no live audience because we wouldn't want anything resembling actual energy or life.

It blows!

the office molded millenial humor, too bad it's being replicated in every single comedy media possible, even in games

Maybe this is mainly because cringe comedy is so much easier to write. You don't even need jokes. People just say dumb things and that's the comedy.

Seinfeld was crap. Much more overrated and pretentious slop than The Office. I enjoy both types of sitcom.

Ironically, The Office led to Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is a much better version of Seinfeld.
