What Was The Office All About?

I know, I know, the main lesson from The Office is obvious: don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever…

Did I spend hours upon hours rewatching The Office to make this video? Yes. Did I need to? No, this 100% could’ve been done from memory & I’m reasonably confident that I could be a northeastern Pennsylvania-based mid-sized paper company regional salesman based on the time I’ve spent watching this alone. But why is The Office such a timeless rewatch? How did this US version depart from (and improve on...) the UK original? Also, how do cameras work?

Join me as I revisit an absolute classic - spoilers ahead, obviously!
