It objectively does.
both versions are bad
uk version was bad because ricky gervais is an unfunny asshat and the us version is unfunny because it has far too many executive producers and writers overwriting all the actually decent writers on the show
bitch we just have different senses of humor
I think homestuck is unfunny dogshit but you don’t hear me saying it sucks
yes but the difference is that homestuck is a minor thing that sustained itself through being extremely specific and being absolutely amazing but only for people who are exactly like me (also acts 1-2 are dogshit i agree)
the office is fucking massive
and i think that while there are more merits to the US version than the UK one, i think that its’ style of comedy is extremely overrated
again, it might be overrated
people make too big a deal out of it
but that does not make it worse, or unfunny
no it is trying to be funny
it’s just got a very specific sense of humour that you either like or absolutely hate
looking at something’s humor objectively (and humor is subjective), you can’t say it’s more or less funny because someone else thinks it’s more or less funny
like i personally do like “haha fuck you we’re going to deliberately deflate the dramatic tension of getting [redacted] by suddenly inserting a parody of previous writing mistakes made back in Act 4” but that’s because i’m a sucker for metahumour

i just think the office is really bad okay
and i don’t get why people like it so much
ok
then say that you don’t think the office is funny or that you don’t like it
but calling it objectively unfunny is wrong
and like there are some funny jokes but i think the fact that a lot of the humour is derived from “look at how bad [x] is” or variations of it really deflates a lot of the jokes, even if it’s not as spiteful as some of Gervais’s other things
i’m not sure how somebody could read HS and think it’s meant to be taken entirely seriously, considering that andrew hussie has described it as a shitpost epic
