Haiiii passes by your inbox again but I remembered awhile back you were watching sitcoms with your gf :] (I perked up hearing about the michael schur shows ,. 🫶). Out of curiosity do you have any personal live action shows that immerse you ? (IDK HOW TO WORD IT WAHHHH I’m curious about taste 🐾)

HIII YES we’re very much still on a sitcom roll!! We’re about to start season 7 of Brooklyn 99 so no new debriefs in a bit but we’ll be finishing up soon and seeing where we go next (I think we talked about Community?)

ANYWAY. all these sitcoms I’ve been watching with my gf are basically my only interactions with live action shows At All. I’m very much not a tv show person which is why she’s dragged me into watching all these sitcoms at all. I’m very uncultured in this department. but out of all the ones I’ve watched so far… really the most immersive to me would be North of North, since it’s such a specific life experience that I’ve grown up with that I’ve never seen on TV at all. So naturally I am quite biased to it (also it’s funny as fuck.) I have an ask in my inbox I’ve been putting off on writing out of laziness that goes more into detail abt it tho so I wont dawdle here.

But I’d also say that the early seasons of The Office were really immersive. I can see why it’s such a beloved classic that even if I wanted to try and go against the grain I don’t think I could. The characters all feel so genuinely real to me precisely because most of them are assholes but they don’t quite all characterize themselves as *The* Dysfunctional Asshole Cast like, say, CXGF or even Parks & Rec. they just feel like people who really live in their own head and think what they’re doing is good or funny or righteous and everyone else is doing it wrong in a very very mundane setting with such low stakes and by god is that very real and engaging. I get a similar vibe from Superstore (perhaps I am just biased to low scale personal retail drama…)

not that characters being intentionally characterized Dysfunctional Assholes is wrong or not funny, they fit in their own shows, it’s just a very specific brand of humour these sitcoms have and after having watched so many back to back I can almost kind of feel the underlying archetype mould they created all these characters for, trying to appeal to the millennial brand of cynicism. which I Like. but still. Anyway those are my thoughts tell me if I didn’t answer your question correctly I’m happy to ramble my ass off some more

Now that you finished the office, favorite character? Favorite bit? Favorite prank?

thank you for your incredible interview questions every time i finish a show with you. Here are my answers.

Favourite character: Dwight easily. I do not give a single fuck if it’s basic because It’s Right And True. hes hilarious and i love him dearly. Pam is an easy second though i just wish people were nicer to her all the time.

Favourite bit: Ohhh this is so hard. A specific bit i like is when Michael finds out Dwight had betrayed him in becoming manager, and makes Dwight fucking beg on his knees for forgiveness with the entire office having to listen to it. Genuinely insane. My favourite ongoing bit though is when Stanley gets mad at people he’s hilarious.

Favourite prank: Asian Jim is really really good and i had been looking forward to it for so long. But i also really love that bit where Dwight’s interrogating Jim over the joint in the parking lot but Jim manages to convince Dwight that he lost his memory over it and turns the interrogation on him. Or really just any prank where Jim makes Dwight doubt his reality is really funny to me. I have no clue what that says about me.

You know ehat that means! Well this show is very short for now, but still: favorite North of north character, couple, joke, and while I've got you here, wanna go off a bit on the cultural stuff?

YAYYYY

fave character: deeply love Siaja her genuine failgirl tendencies are the best. like This is the divorced woman who fucks shit up tremendously all the time that Tumblr wants, and she’s funny and charming the whole way through. very close second is Helen though like. she’s the cringe overbearing saviour white woman authority I’ve known my whole life it’s incredible

couple: BOTH OF THE MAIN TWO ARE KILLING ME BUT NEEVEE AND ALISTAIR. GOOD GOD. I just need them to sit down and talkkkkkk

joke: the twist of episode 1 is still utterly hilarious to me. but I also just really love that bit where Inuit say Eskimo just fine but the Second that Ellen the white woman says it, she’s the only one who’s censored. that was genius

cultural stuff: I could write whole fucking posts on the costuming and the tattoos and all that so it could not just fit in here. But. one thing id like to appreciate is the costuming. God the costumes tell such a story of each individual character and how they relate to the Northern environment. the most obvious is Kuuk, of course, with how he’s immediately pegged as Southern for his stupid little Western peacoat (the time that he is most out of place with Ice Cove). And then being given a proper fur parka once he finally starts building a connection not just with Siaja, but Ice Cove’s community (during the baseball game.)

Not to mention Alistair. I still love that bit where Neevee pulls off her clothes so quickly while Alistair’s still clambering to take off all his millions of layers because he’s a white boy Southerner. So fucking funny. Not to mention everyone’s personal styles and their choice in men’s and women’s parkas and the designs and wawawawa again I can write whole posts. So I’ll leave it there. Yay

I know we're still in the middle of our queue, but I wanna know anyway: out of all the sitcoms ive made you watch, can you rate them from least to most: funny, well written, lovable characters, makes you want to die from stress

this is a very hard bundle of questions. I’ll try my best

funniest: The Office > Parks and Rec = CXGF > Superstore = The Good Place

well written: The Good Place > CXGF > Parks and Rec > Superstore > The Office (those last few seasons… jesus.)

lovable characters: Why would you do this to me. I will not answer this I love them all.

makes me want to die from stress: Superstore > CXGF > The Office > The Good Place > Parks and Rec

so you finished Community! Any thoughts? I honest to God don't even know what to ask for this one. How about the usual + favorite meme that you now know the context for?

fav character: basic gay/autistic answers but it’s Dean Pelton and then Abed. they’re just such fun characters with amazing personalities!!!

fav pairing: Community is the only sitcom thus far that absolutely could not get on board with any of the canon relationships. I really tried! I just simply couldn’t care about any of them. Though I softened up towards Jeff/Annie I wouldn’t say I shipped them really.

Now, in terms of non-canon… Jeff/Dean and Troy/Abed ftw

fav bit: all of the Dean’s outfit bits were sooo awesome I loved all of them. hes great! also the chloroform bit with Annie is fucking hilarious.

fav reoccurring episode: alllll of the holiday episodes are great, but the Christmas ones specifically always knock it out of the park. with of course Abed’s Claymation adventure being the most special. I’ll seriously never forget my complete shock when I realized that this was going to be the entire episode.

favourite meme: it’s a classic. But it’s true. finding out that the context of this singular bit was so much more mindfuckery than it could ever hope to convey was such a fucking blast and I think I screamed a little too hard when I realized I had finally came across This Meme
