Michael Scott:
What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It's the people. The *people*. My proudest moment here wasn't when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff...

"The Office" is funny. It is funny because everyone has experienced these characters in their lives. The writing is witty. The cast fits together perfectly. They seem born to play their roles.
Steve Carell's character, M. Scott rolls every boorish, under qualified and insecure boss I've ever experienced into one uber-boss from hell, but still manages to make you empathize with him as the guy who doesn't have friends because he never learned how to make them- and now he's trying entirely too hard. It is hard not to loath him and simultaneously feel sorry for him.
Rainn Wilson's character D. Schrute, is the kid who hid under the slide during recess and ate his boogers, watched the teen-age mutant ninja turtles and then started telling everyone he was a "black-belt," was best friends with the lunch lady and played dungeons and dragons- by himself- in the basement. He's that kid, all grown up. To round out the effect, imagine he grew up on a beet farm... far away out in the country with only livestock and his cousin Moeses for company. In short, he is brilliant. Just say his name out loud: "Dwight Schrute" and you'll get a good feeling for his character.
Finally: John Krasinski as J. Halpert, Jenna Fischer as P. Beesly and B.J. Novak as R. Howard are the fantastic, yet understated counterweights to Carell and Wilson. They play the role of the "normal" people trapped in the bizarre world of a midsize paper products company. They each are also masters of "the look." Fischer's look of disgust/offense/disbelief, Krasinski's mug for the camera, and Novak's look of embarrassment and incredulity.
If you like "uncomfortable funny," "embarrassing funny," or "I can't believe he/she just said/did that funny," you will like this show.
