It’s undeniable that times have changed and some jokes have not aged well ( Steve Carrell agreed there are some things that wouldn’t ‘fly’ these days in a 2018 interview with Esquire). Rewatching The Office: A US Workplace is problematic for many reasons some parts of the show are uncomfortable to watch now (‘Diversity Day’, ‘Gay Witch Hunt’, basically most of what is said to Oscar… even Prison Mike makes me shift in my seat a bit these days). Remember when Jim Halpert shouted down the phone at his wife Pam and made her cry when she accidentally didn’t record their daughter’s dance recital that he couldn’t go to because he was in Philadelphia (working at the company that he had invested in behind wife’s back)? Wasn’t it terrible?
Remember when Martin Freeman played Tim on The Office (UK) and we all cried at the Christmas special when (SPOILER) he and Dawn finally got together? Wasn’t it wonderful?
