The Office (without writers)
Friday, November 30th, 2007 | 77 commentsFrom Charlie Todd: “A few Improv Everywhere agents produced two videos to show support for the Writers Guild of America. Take a look at what The Office would be like as a real documentary (without writers).”
Please Office writers, come home soon.

but the second video really shows you that a show would go nowhere without the wit of the writers…everyone would get fired, the end.
That was hilarious. :-) They were so good at having no (or else plain boring) writing, but still going through the motions. Bravo! More please!
Whoa.
African American ink. LOL.
I miss the regular Office. =[
That second video where Lamar gets 2 office workers fired is HI-larious!! So funny!!
I love it, it was very funny to watch and ben is a jerk. Loved neil, sooooo funny. I thought scott was acting more like toby. Both videos were good.
Oh sorry, my bad, they are actors. Great job at showing us the scary possibility of not having writing :)
Ha ha that was awesome. “African-American ink” is priceless! Were they professional actors? If not, I want to work at an office where they get away with filming that.
To Nicole #43 - Scott is totally Gob and Buster’s love child (two brothers on Arrested Development) - thank you for pointing that out!
My other favorite line is when Scott said “I won’t find out (the difference between racism and humor) working here.” Even though the firing should have been a red flag.
Actually, I liked the first one better than the second. These were actually pretty funny to watch.
lol it was more realistic, especially how the guy got mad and the other guy was fired.
I thought these were great. Improv Everywhere is a hilarious group of people, you guys should check out their website. The only thing that threw me off were those purple walls. Intense.
oh man I wrote “real” Pam. I need a life.
Point driven home very effectively! Without writers, we’d be watching crap like these videos. :)
They were good but a few points
1.) Shouldn’t have based the characters off of the series
2.) if it was supposed to be a “real” office it should have been one video showing how boring a real office can be.
That was really painful. I miss the faces Rainn, John, Jenna, and Steve. :( The writers do such a great job, those moguls should watch these and see how awful everything would be without good writers.
It is true though that Michael and Dwight couldn’t get away with half of the stuff they do without getting fired.
these were actually really good, i liked the expense report one, it was funny and realistic.
I love that they just fired people left and right… but it’s so true that someone like Michael couldn’t get away with all the stuff he does in real life :)
This is depressing because I like this more than I like the current season. When they come back, I hope they bring back the not-unbelievably-ridiculous-ness of seasons 1 and 2!
that was awesome :)
I really loved this. The only thing that I didn’t like about it was it made me miss the real Office even more. Thursday nights just haven’t been the same!
OK, I guess I missed the “support for the Writers Guild” part of this. These were actually pretty funny and were, well… written.
I guess the point is there are probably other people out there who could replace the current writers of “The Office?”
