Once my old roommate was like "hey you should watch the office, it's so funny" and then he put on an episode while I was cooking and made that face the entire time. He didn't laugh once and neither did I. I hate the office so much it's not funny at all
It happened the same to me but with Rick & Morty
I was introduced to Rick and Morty multiple times over several years by well meaning friends, usually from "this clip will hook you for sure!" moments, and those moments ranged from making me unhappy, to disgusted, to questioning whether I wanted to still be friends with the person after that.
I probably won't rewatch the office, but I found it funny and I keep up on Rick and Morty, though I just find it entertaining and not really funny besides a few fucked up nihilistic one liners. This is how I know I still have some chud linked neurons firing around someplace in my soy cucked brain.
I only watched through season 2 but I found the episode where Rick meets up with the hive mind and ends up attempting to delete himself to be legitimately pretty good. It does a great job of conveying that Rick who is so intelligent he could have anything he wants is left feeling empty by his hedonistic lifestyle and self aware enough to know it but too nihilistic to do anything about it. Same reason I liked Bojack, I guess.
But then people started putting pickle rick memes all over everything and I never went back to it
Ironically, the pickle rick episode itself is pretty good. Being a pickle is an allegory for alcoholism and Rick attends therapy
The Office is one of the primordial spirits of Reddit that possesses Redditors when they post terrible takes.
