Sorry, but not really. Of course, I haven't seen enough to have an informed opinion.....

Have the whole series on DVD and have seen every episode at least 4 times.

Judge me if you want. I judge people who actually think The Office is funny.

Not so much funny, but a representation of my life.

I need a diner to go have those conversations at, rather than at work.

Is there a way to add options to polls?

Absolutely not funny. But I've only seen a couple of episodes.

The office is funny in my opinion, but in a sad cant-look-away way.

I never liked Seinfeld - I just found it kind of annoying. "In Living Color" on the other hand...

I thought it was occasionally funny, but not as funny as most people made it out to be.

Generally, when it came on, I changed the channel.

Still, I can't really answer "No" since I did laugh a couple times. But I wouldn't say "Yes" either.

"Carrots" for me. And shame on you for lack of a Carrot option. That's a rookie mistake. Noob!

I never set out to watch it as a regular, but caught it many times in syndication, and found it droll, but certainly not laugh out loud funny.



edit: I am 38. And have a very keen sense of humor...just not so much for sitcoms, wherein lies the problem.

Very funny most of the time. However, it is not the sort of thing you can watch over and over.

I loved it, I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode more than once. The way the different threads of each show tied together always made me laugh, even if they did it in a cheesy way. And I still regularly encounter situations at work and elsewhere that make me think of a particular Seinfeld plot.

Really? Considering the rerun syndication some people can watch it over and over.

Regarding those who don't think it's funny -- or even if you do -- please post your age. I'm 40 and I think it is the most brilliant comedy TV show of all time.

There are different kinds of funny.

But anyway, yeah, I think at times it was - very funny.

The first season was terrible and flat. But they found their way, and it became a set of some great writing and performing, IMHO.
