Mindy Kaling, som spelade karaktären Kelly i den amerikanska versionen av The Office mellan 2005-2013, har uttalat sig om humorn i The Office. Mindy fick frågan av branschblaskan Variety om hur hon ser på en eventuell framtida reboot av komediklassikern men det är inget hon verkar intresserad av, då hon anser The Office vara kränkande. Hon fortsätter sen med att driva lite med den intensiva kränkthetshysteri som råder där alla ska bli förolämpade, av allt. Hela tiden.
"That show is so inappropriate now. The writers who I'm still in touch with now, we always talk about how so much of that show we probably couldn't make now. Tastes have changed, and honestly what offends people has changed so much now. I think that actually is one of the reasons the show is popular, because people feel like there's something kind of fearless about it or taboo that it talks about on the show. I think she would have quit Dunder Mifflin to become an influencer, and then probably be canceled, almost immediately. Actually, most of the characters on that show would be canceled by now."
Vad tror du om humorn i The Office... Skulle den fungera såhär 15 år senare eller skulle programmet idag kränka för många?
