I think he can be hilarious, but he overplays the hand and is fundamentally lazy. He knows the stand-up / presenting / interviewing formula that works, and so he goes with that.
I'm no huge fan.
The Office, though, is like the amalgamation of every bad office I worked in during the late 70s and early 80s. I actually worked in one of the buildings in which the office opening scenes are filmed.
And it was *exactly* like that.
Of course he exaggerates it, and pulls every bad scenario together, in the same incident but it all rings true.
There are phrases and behaviours in The Office which I have absolutely heard and witnessed in real life. Sadly, there are also a few that I haver said myself.
Why someone who has never worked in such an office would find it funny I cannot say, but if you have, then it's almost like an obsession.
