#theoffice #reaction #diversity - บันเทิง
Fun fact, the HR rep, Toby (who Michael kicked out) isn't even an actor. He's a writer for the series and his general lack of acting experience sends the awkwardness of his scenes over-the-top. It's perfect casting.
I guess some of them had more experience or at least pursued it after The Office, but Mindy Kaling (Kelly), BJ Novak (Ryan) and Michael Schur (Mose) (maybe I am forgetting someone else) were also mainly writers for the show, but apparently Greg Daniels thought they should also be part of the show to experience what the actors are going through and to create a stronger bond between writers and actors.
@@kenavr Novak was actually only supposed to be a writer, but John Krasinski (Jim) was one of his childhood friends, and convinced production to give him the temp role, which was actually supposed to go away after a couple episodes, but they liked Ryan’s character so much they kept him on.
@@alexjames4770 John is also, himself, a small actor by that point, so it says a lot that he could convince them to add Novak.
Reminds me of Stu from the movie What We Do in the Shadows.
Good to know that he at least became a successful writer in real life
I think this is the last time Kelly actually acts like an adult professional.
Diversity day broke her
What was the joke when Micheal says to Kelly.. If you leave we will have two left.
@@rishikumar2140 It meant everyone else was white except her and 2 other people in the office at the time
Actually, she starts acting like person with a Dependent personality disorder with maniac bipolar tendency for the first time in Season 2 episode 'The Carpet ' , though instances of her receding professionalism was kinda evident in previous episodes of 'The Christmas party', 'Booze Cruise' and 'The Secret'.
To be fair diversity day is probably in the top five most cringiest episodes of the show. If you can handle diversity day you guys will be fine LOL
It is still miles away from the episode that shall not be named haha.
@@layedbackthomas hehehe to be honest, I get absolute Joy showing new people THAT episode for the first time 🤣
@@layedbackthomas I get shivers just thinking about it, lmaooooo
Scott’s Tots is the worst for me personally
@@infinite-sadness by far the worst
Wow. Jim lost a client that gets him 25% of his yearly commission and it's "not a bad day" for him because Pam rested her head on his shoulder while sleeping. My guy's smitten.
Yep… Being smitten slaps hard.
That's literally all it takes sometimes
No he didn’t lose it. Dwight cares about the company so he called Jim’s client back and got the client back by offering a discount. That’s why Jim put a little bottle as a gift for dwight at the end of the episode.
@@Steventenor I did not say Dunder Miflin lost the client, I said Jim lost the client. Which he did, to Dwight.
@@Bdawg. do you think the honorable top salesman Dwight needs to steal client from Jim? That’s not his character. He’s an idiot but he plays fair. He cut Jim’s phone call off so he course corrected it by calling the client back and offer a discount so Jim would get his client back. That’s why Jim thanked him by giving him a gift by putting it on Dwight’s table at the end there. Dwight cares for the company too much to sabotage anyone. And if Jim does not have the client he does not have the bonus, and Dwight would never do that to Jim.
"googi googi" is supposed to be Michael Scott imitating an Indian accent saying "cookie cookie" lol
Yeah I always took it as him saying cookie cookie with an accent. I've never heard it referred to as googi googi.
@@joevictor53 It's because that's what the subtitles said. I've always heard it as "cookie cookie" too, but they were trying to figure it out based on the subs.
Oh I thought googi googi was an Indian street cuisine LOL
@@sangriad.938 That would be giving Michael Scott a lot of credit, to know an Indian street food, lol.
The best, most subtle joke in this episode: Michael to Toby "This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell out of here"
Man that comment aged well lol
20:20 HR got kicked out of the room 🤣. Michael Scott's hate of Toby is always hilarious and provides some of the hardest laughs of the series.
and its also pretty sad because toby reminds michael of his dad
Toby is the Scranton Strangler.
Man that Toby hate bruhhhhhhh to hilarious 😂😂😂
@@haymaker710 creed.... Creed
Gooooooodbye Toby !!!!!
Soon they’ll be afraid of how much they love Michael Scott
Yeah I don’t get how they thought he was annoying😭 that’s the point lmao he’s funny as fuck
The best comment 😂
@@duffal0yeah. I love him. He’s such an honest and genuine guy. He’s not racist or hateful to anybody else. He’s just ignorant.
They’ll cry in Yk what episode :,)
This made me laugh so hard. It’s making me feel like I’m watching it for the first time again! Thanks for starting this series guys!
Honestly one of my favorite episodes despite only being the second. It's so great. I've never seen a reaction until now so it's even better!
The satire in season 1 is some of the best I've seen in a TV show. Watching this episode gave me flashbacks to the cringe "training" I experienced in the office environments I've worked at.
Though I have watched The Office 7 times, seeing people watching the office for first time, makes me feel like I am watching it for the first time. Thanks guys.
Fun fact: the man who plays Mr. Brown is also the writer of the episode.
finally, The Office is back! this should've been uploaded twice a week.
Yeah, at this rate, they're literally gonna reach the finale in 2025
@@MM-vs2et litterly😂
This is still one of my favorite episodes. "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North.' These are the principles I bring with me into the workplace."
edit after watching: I'm dead, you guys have a great reaction to this show.
It's so joyful to watch someone fall in love with The Office like is CLEARLY happening to Pat
The blonde women was looking for approval to laugh at the jokes. You can just tell she thinks the show is racist.
“How is there more than one season?”
This was back when people weren’t sensitive twats.
Yall overuse this opinion, there’s a bunch of shows nowadays that are similar to shows back then when they went all out. Stop trying to act so different
no, The Office it's not offensive in this way
the office jokes about people like Michael, he is satire, a comical representation of a real life person, a caricature, a CHARACTER being Played.
Not a stupid stand up comedian who thinks "dark humor" means he can be REAL racist/misogynistic without regards.
There are many other shows like the office as well, and no one is offended by them, do u know why?
Because that's how you make dark humor.
dark humor can be enjoyed by everyone.
Exactly.
lol Netflix allowed Dave Chapelle to keep his terrible specials on the service dont act like people don't get away with worse nowadays
Oh boy I'm bracing myself for their reaction to episode 6 season 3...
HEY MRSCOTT WHATCHA GONNA DO! WHATXHA GONNA DO YO MAKE OUR DREAM COME TRUE 🎶🎼
Diwali? “Who’s this crazy gringo” 🤣🤣
In 2 years
@@Music-xp5wg it makes me so sad that we need to wait like 4 years for them to finish
I don’t even have the episode numbers memorized and I know that you’re referring to THAT episode
The hate Michael has for HR is all you need to know about diversity…
About the cringe: Sometimes I had to remind myself this is a show, and they are actors.
It really wasn’t that cringe imo
@@duffal0 I mean as the seasons advance, so does the cringe
@Darkstar exactly. I can definitely see how people find it cringe, but to me besides the “googy googy” part, none of it was cringey, it was more awkwardly funny.
@@duffal0 yea this one isn't so cringy compared to many other Office episodes like Scott's Tots which is almost unbearable (one of my favorite episodes)
@@Dell-ol6hb why is that though, why is Scott’s Tots that cringey for people?
Just two years ago this was on Netflix. I don’t understand why people say it couldn’t be aired now. How did we lose nuance in comedy? The office is hilarious, it won awards, loved around the world. Cancel culture and “non offensive” culture is toxic culture, it’s toxic to the very idea of nuance, and all forms of art, including comedy.
"Come to the cook out, give it a try." Chris setting up people to wind up in the hospital, lol
To be fair, he did say to choose who to say it around
Isn't it tiring to get offended about something that's clearly meant as a joke?
What?
The humor isn't even meant to be offensive humor. It's funny because Michael is being offensive and we laugh at him. I can't see how anyone could see a show that makes fun of the insensitive person and makes it clear he's in the wrong and still think the show is offensive
“How is there more than one season?” Idk dawg maybe cause people think this shit is funny af and yall dont have humour
Their afraid of their own audience. Anything beyond a knock knock joke requires constant virtue signaling to appease a certain segment of their viewers.
I love the racist remark " pure white dude confidence.."most of us white dudes stand back and have comments like that thrown our way without a hint of irony. The episode is making fun of the people who think they aren't racist but are often the most racist person in the room. Racism doesn't have a color.
You can't actively watch The Boys and keep saying "They couldn't make stuff like this anymore..."
THANK YOU LOL
Well the boys has very obvious political leanings while the office is apolitical satire.
I've watched this show like 15 times, and it's still really enjoyable to watch these reactions. I hope you guys keep the large group for the entirity of the show.
I don't get cringed out easily like most people that's why I love this type of humor
its actually supposed to be cringey - and thats why i like it. obviously we're not supposed to laugh *with* michael or condone his actions, but we laugh at his sheer ignorance, bc its just so stupid.
@@puppycatsbeeI’m able to laugh at all 3 of those
Suraj is Michael. Chris is Jim. Ketty is Pam. Mickey is Dwight. Confirmed. I’m glad you all are enjoying the show!
You still don’t know cringe. 🤣
I can definitely see Suraj as Michael lmao
Marketta is def Angela not Pam lmao
Mickey is definitely Dwight.
Pat is Kevin
absolutely couldn’t stand Michael, but he will grow on you, you will love him very soon!
It's less that he grows on you and more that he changes
Yeah i remember when I first started this show my jaw was dropped the whole time, I was laughing from discomfort because I laugh at awkwardness since I just live awkwardly lol. This episode is iconic though, and I love that early on they establish Michael as a comedy nerd.
I watched this when it originally came out… I don’t remember folks thinking this was edgy. A different world back then
Yeah and in the 1700s they'd be pissed off that black people were being paid and DARED spoke up against a white man.... yeah, that's how social progress works.
@@ryanthompson3737 calm down kid
Yep the use of internet is so vast which resulted in everyone's opinion to be heard out.
yeah because racist humour was common back then so people didnt care
Every Office fan knows this episode but I completely forgot it's episode 2. They was wild for this lol
I don't why everyone says the 1st season is a lame copy of the British version and that it doesn't get going until the second season. Only the first episode was like that. This is one of the Office's classic episodes and the rest of the season is great too.
remember everyone...it's just jokes...calm down.
It all starts with jokes😏
you guys laughing at The Office is so contagious! I haven't laughed this hard at this episode in a long time ❤️
I’ll forever be jealous that BJ Novak wrote this episode at the age of 25. Genius!
I think it's an america thing to cringe that much at that? I find it hilarious and Scott is just too much
No it’s not an American thing, these guys are all just super sensitive “woke” soy boy types, I think it’s pretty clear no? ;)
Are you from the UK or something?
Woke. And that is not a Fun Fact.
Im Nordic and cringe the fuck out of this show. But in a good way. Its so funny but its 2nd hand awkwardness. This show made cringe into something good.
Y’all should never work on a construction site
We have something similar to Michael Scott’s type of diversity day, except it’s everyday 😂😂 just a bunch of mexicans, black people, and white people talking shit to each other all day😂😂 no one ever gets offended tho, the way it should be
I mean they're not construction workers, plus the way Michael acts isn't him talking shit, he genuinely thinks he's helping which is why it's cringe
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 I know, that’s why I said never do it 😂 I wasn’t trying to shit on them for it or anything, just pointing out how wildly different these different settings can be. What’s unintentional and cringe in an office setting is normal day to day stuff in other settings. I’ve seen this show in its entirety like 7 times so trust me, I’m not trying to shit on anyone for cringing 😂
A paper company in “pencil” vania 😅I love theses guys
I watched the office like 5 times and never found it cringe. I was too busy laughing.
These woke fools are humorless.
@@GeorgeEugeneBarrett they laughed through the entire thing tf you talking about
That's why we're here; to laugh at you guys laughing at Pat laughing.
I sprained my ankle at work today (tug of war incident ofc) and was laying in bed bored until I saw this video pop up! Can’t wait to see you guys’ reactions to future episodes!
Thers more than one season because back then the world wasnt full of over sensitive babies who cry and want to cancel everything.
I sincerely love this Michael Scott. That acid humor and black humor is very good.
I understand that they changed his character from season 2 and he still seems like an almost perfect character to me. But without a doubt the Michael of season 1 is THE BEST.
It's very similar to his British version of Ricky who also uses that style of black humor, acid humor. How much I like it.
You must like the U.K. series more overall then?
Office is an amazing show and it's stupid to be offended by it because it makes fun of being clueless, awkward, offensive, racist and everything else that can get a decent person cancelled for making fun of today , while still being a entertaining show. especially Micheal Scott, started as a character that brought me cringe but later you understand that all of it is coming from a place of love and the need to be liked.
He doesn't do cringey things and offensive jokes to make someone feel bad or insulted but to be accepted and appreciated by his co-workers and ofcourse his behaviour is still not something to look upto but it's something to relate to because all of us just want to be loved and we sometimes do cringey things to get that love ❤
Keep in mind Sheldon Cooper ( Jim Parsons) is the reason Steve Carell never won an Emmy for his role as Michael Scott smh
I like how some of them are scared to say it’s funny
They all said it was funny, lol
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 the black guy in the middle wasn’t feeling it
This is why comedy is pretty much dead in 2022 because people are so scared.
@@BishopWalters12 ok snowflake
@@TreyDZd Poor buttercup
This should be prioritized for your guys' upload, I would love to see these uploaded twice a week at least, I LOVE the office 😭
I’ve always thought Michael was saying Cookie-cookie but subtitles now taught me it was googi-googi which makes even less sense
This episode is funny, not cringy. It’s only cringy for liberals who are too PC
“Maybe some spaghetti?” That bit cracked me up 🤣
20:19, “where is HR??”, uhh, he got kicked out of the conference room at the beginning of Michael’s version of diversity day for making a joke about sitting in Indian style! 😭😭😭
These reactions have been amazing so far
ive started to watch the office and boy i don’t regret it lmao
those looks are the most funny thing i’ve seen
im glad this kind of humor is spreading in my country with the more recent shows
People need to remember how to laugh and stop getting so butt hurt over humor.
Woke culture
@@wackoterp7026 not a real thing
love that you guys introduced your names lol im new to the channel and didn't know who micky was
People are too sensitive these days.
Maybe you only feel that way because you’re too sensitive towards other people’s opinions
I don’t watch The Office, so I don’t know the character’s names, but the one (Dwight?) that said, “A hero kills people,” plays a superhero in James Gunn’s *Super* and kills people (I think). It’s also connected to *Brightburn* .
That's what I thought of when I saw him saying that.
Fun fact: James Gunn got Rainn Wilson (Dwight) to be in that film because his ex-wife Jenna Fischer (Pam) recommended him
Gotta have an open minded sense of humor to enjoy this classic show
You need to understand, back then the office UK was the cool shit. So when they were making this first season, they wanted to make it as raunchy and as edgy as cringy as the UK version, because a lot of people are saying that they're gonna ruin it by making it too american. So season 1 was really they're trying to be "cool"
Larry Wilmore was actually one of the consulting producers that also wanted this to be as "cool" as the UK version.
too bad this humor is not allowed today.
5 or 10 years ago that wouldn’t have been cringy cancel culture hadn’t made America a miserable place to live yet
One of the funniest comments nobody gets: At the end Michael the Boss tells Oscar the gay Mexican character: “Buena Vista”! as he leaves. Buena Vista is a town in northeast Mexico. It was the site of a American victory over the Mexican army in the Mexican American war of the 1840s. To Oscar and all Mexicans that would be an immense insult.
Diversity in real life is far cringier than this. This is great satire for the real life diversity shenanigans.
What's cringe is the textbook feminist on the couch who acts like literally everything is unbelievable
how he was trying to get Chris Rok's accent with the ghetto english was hilarious. i love how i can laugh at him saying that word and not feel any guilt lol. Sorry wypipo
Im from India , watched friends few months ago now watching the office . im finding these gems left and right
What is this? "Diversity quotas" the channel? The only thing missing here is testosterone.
Am i the only one who thinks this episode is funny, but not really that edgy? This is great comedy honestly, i just laugh but never get cringe.
@half breed or at least that's what tucker Carlson told you to think
@half breed What a weird brag. Most of the stupidest people i've ever met are libertarians
@@derekfurst6233 spotted the CNN bot.
Another great reaction Normies! Michael's antics during that seminar was wild!
Steve Carrell, doesn't actually say the n-word in the show. The DVD commentary says they bleeped out the word asshole*. Because there is also no unedited version around it was deleted by the show runners
I realized after showing a couple people this episode that its not for the faint of heart. This is a HILARIOUS episode but you have to be into this certain type of humour which is more “uncomfortable”.
(But isnt it progression to train yourself to be ok with discomfort) food for thought.
I laughed more at this episode while rewatching it with them then I did while watching it by myself.
"oh God this is so cringe"
Billy Mays voice: "BUT WAIT! THERES MORE!"
The white woman is thinking of ways she can go back in time and cancel the office. People sense of humor is broken now days they wouldn’t be able to make a good show like this again
When Michael got slapped and he tried to keep himself from crying was one of the funniest moments of The Office. Top 3!!
You got a hint from the best relationship of all time ( micheal + toby )♥️
Spidey lowkey triggered from this episode
Anyone realize that rashida jones who plays Karen, was in the chappelle show and it’d be hilarious if that’s who jim and Ryan were referring to
My ex loved the Office and I couldn't get into it...when I tried to watch alone it felt more like a docu-series than comedy, but watching a group watch it there is a lot more energy to the funny...Larry Wilmore is a great content creator with a unique approach
Stop being sensitive and laugh if it's funny
Look up "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Impressions" there's a 2 min video from IASIP on youtube where they go over the exact convo they had on doing impressions. Its also really funny
They cancelled that one Dungeons and Dragons episode from Community. It enraged me. But if they are going to cancel an episode of The Office I'm going to literally stop watching series, movies and everything they produce
The generation of comedy killers right here, afraid to laugh at a joke without scrutinising it
That’s basically everyone now and is why everything in entertainment has become sterile, sanitized and awful.
lol ikr, these reactors are very careful to laugh. even eyeing one another for offensive jokes
I'd say this is an American thing tbh. The UK, Europe and Australia are used to shows with much darker / vicarious cringe comedy. This is tame!
These woke fools are the epitome of cringe.
@@SalemEverett I can confirm that the wave of sanitisation is mainly an American thing. Sometimes for the good, other times for the bad. I'm Italian and here the comedy hasn't been really attacked by the new wave of comedy, which is very good, but it's also very bad because the past comedy we didn't steal from the British is dogshit.
I couldn't watch this series when it first came out, because I was a HUGE fan of the BBC series back in 2004. I'd rewatch it all the time and knew the show almost by heart. I never watched the US series while it was broadcast. But since then I've realised that the US show became its own thing, with its own unique characters, and now I love it!
What’s even worse is we are now basically living in this episode in western culture.
My man in the middle needs to relax. He definitely didnt say the n word, the bleep is for comic effect. Just chill😂 no darrens please
Oh man... this is the perfect marriage of reactioners to tv show episode ever.
Love your content and ... oh boy. Never stop laughing and cringing. Man can't wait until you watch DINNER PARTY.
Suraj. I now know why you are like my favorite. 1. Our birthdays are a day apart and 2. I have a short sleeve banana button up too! So glad you guys are doing the office btw. My all time favorite show
I remember once seeing a conversation among standup comedians about whether it was racist to do impressions of people of another race than your own. Russell Peters said that fans have never been bothered by it so long as he does it well, then impersonated a fan who told once told him after a show, "That was the best Hong Kong accent I ever heard," in a fake Hong Kong accent. Bill Burr agreed, saying that he always found impersonations of white people funny if they were good, annoying/disappointing if they were bad.
It's interesting to observe libtards get triggered by a sitcom.
Laughing is triggered for you?
@@johnnymittle No it's them going "oh my god this is so cringe I can't what oh shit this is so uncomfortable" over jokes that may be considered mildly racial.
conservatives get triggered by seeing anything other than cishet white men on screen. did you also notice the fact most of them are not white unlike you and have a different perspective on racial humour
This was one of my favorites because of the offensive humor and "cringe" and I love it SO much. I'll admit, I'm a bit messed up when it comes to fiction 😂
There’s a reason it’s one of the funniest shows ever lmao
I think Larry Wilmore actually wrote this episode. I know he was a writer on the show for a while.
The Office is my ALL TIME favorite show, it's brilliant.
All you people are lame, that collard people joke will be hilarious forever, classic
cringe: the socially forced display of feigned discomfort towards humorous instances based off how much you worry that your laughter not followed by the exclaimation that the instance was "cringe" will cause others to think youre not sensitive to the plethora of social justice issues. i cant roll my eyes hard enough.
I can understand cringing but some of you need to stop overreacting.
Fr dude in the middle looks genuinely triggered. Like my guy iss just jokes lol.
@@elitezenkai9435 both him and Marketa need to relax lol
@@SparaticSpartan fr pat and suraj are the only ones I'd chill with. They are loving this and accept that it's all jokes.
Wow, you guys have balls, showing the fantastic Office to a group of lefties. I'm surprised non of them cried and crawled into a ball. This lady however.....
Why would lefties not like the office?
@@TSGPhilipp Beacuse they are offended by everything and misconstrude comedy for real life. Not understanding parody or stereotype-comedy. Just look at the girl's sour face reactions....
she was offended when michael had the Martin Luther King sign lolol
plenty of 'lefties' enjoy the Office lol believe it or not many enjoy humour its just we can tell the difference between satire and saying things you actually believe/support as 'jokes', unlike conservatives
@@MidnightEkaki No dude. Lefties can't tell the difference. Perhaps you are a closeted conservative?
This is only episode 2. I dont know how y'all are gonna get through this show. You still got Dinner Party, Scott's Tots, Benihana's Christmas.
Legend has it that Steve Carell did say the n-word when doing that scene, but he made sure that all copies of unbleeped footage were destroyed.
The only thing over the top in this video was the reactions of middle two xD
