A
fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody about modern American office life,
"The Office" delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin
paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael
Scott (Steve Carell) is a single, middle-aged
man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary. With unshaken
enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of
business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his
employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs
their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and to look cool,
Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession
is his "World's Greatest Boss" mug -- which he had to buy for himself.
