The Office

A popular TV show that shows stereotypes is The Office. The type of stereotype that it can show is how people in a work office can sometimes be crazy. The Office represents the working person can sometimes behave with other people in a comedic way. The show is based around the manager, Steve Carrell, who is Michael Scott. He is the manager off a paper merchant company named Dunder Mifflin in Scranton. Most of the employees in the show don't work and goof around all day long which alot of businesses can relate to.

Through the course of the 30 minute TV show, the workers show how they have to deal with problems that other modern day office workers have in common, of course on the TV show they are more comical. The Office has little fights between its co-workers and the workers pulling pranks on each other. Inside a regular office, they deal with these problems but differently of course. The television show often shows the people looking into the camera during some of the scenes which is to represent that people often act weirdly when they are put on the spot or have to do a presentation.

The Office mainly stereotypes an office being influenced to do similar but in ways different ways. We often sterotype people in offices to be hard working, which some are and that they sometimes like to have fun. All of these sterotypes this TV show proves that it is partially right. A common stereotype is that people are in offices and have no fun and are all work work work, but The Office says that people will also have fun while doing it. "True, I may have been the second choice...but I was the first choice' first choice!" - Andy Bernard. The Office can have some perverted jokes and office harassment and that can also happen in real life offices.
