Laughing and crying

Posted by Maggie August 15th, 2006 at 12:39pm In The Office

Television Without Pity doesn't usually do sitcoms because to try to make jokes about jokes inevitably fails in one of two ways: 1) you ruin the original funny joke, 2) you compound the original failure to be funny. So this epic recap of two episodes of The Office is an anomaly, but they do it the right way — instead of making jokes, they treat the thing with literary-criticism style seriousness. If you have two hours (and who doesn't? for The Office?) it's funny, and sad. Of course.
