The Office (without writers)
Friday, November 30th, 2007From 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.
Tipster: Cari
An Office: Ben & Sam
An Office: Expense Reports
NSFW (a leetle profanity)
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.
77 | jenn mark Wed. Dec. 5, 2007 at 2:59pmThat was hilarious. :-) They were so good at having no (or else plain boring) writing, but still going through the motions. Bravo! More please!
76 | John Tue. Dec. 4, 2007 at 9:30pmWhoa.
75 | Chels. Tue. Dec. 4, 2007 at 8:29amAfrican American ink. LOL.
I miss the regular Office. =[
That second video where Lamar gets 2 office workers fired is HI-larious!! So funny!!
74 | Jackie Sun. Dec. 2, 2007 at 5:19pmI 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.
73 | martinez Sun. Dec. 2, 2007 at 9:54amOh sorry, my bad, they are actors. Great job at showing us the scary possibility of not having writing :)
72 | ALK Sun. Dec. 2, 2007 at 6:51amHa 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.
71 | ALK Sun. Dec. 2, 2007 at 6:50amActually, I liked the first one better than the second. These were actually pretty funny to watch.
70 | chris Sun. Dec. 2, 2007 at 5:51amlol it was more realistic, especially how the guy got mad and the other guy was fired.
69 | naomie Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 7:08pmI 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.
68 | Marisa Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 6:59pmoh man I wrote “real” Pam. I need a life.
67 | Alamedaman Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 6:24pmPoint driven home very effectively! Without writers, we’d be watching crap like these videos. :)
66 | Sage Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 4:46pmThey were good but a few points
1.) Shouldn’t have based the characters off of the series
65 | Joseph Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 12:43pm2.) 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.
64 | Quill Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 12:41pmthese were actually really good, i liked the expense report one, it was funny and realistic.
63 | sara Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 11:25amI 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 :)
62 | Shannen Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 10:25amThis 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!
61 | amegee Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 9:49amthat was awesome :)
60 | Brian Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 8:58amI 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!
59 | Elizabeth Sat. Dec. 1, 2007 at 8:05amOK, 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?”
