ETA: Lest we not forget that Mindy Kaling just told us all the Office couldn't be made today and that she's offended by it. She sucks.
She really said that? The Office is the only reason she isn't waiting tables right now. I'll bet she isn't so offended she gives back all the money she made off of it.
That's not what she said.Quote:
"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," Kaling added. "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."

That makes more sense. The Office is probably more popular now than when it was on the air, so it can't be that offense to people.

Didn't even know about this show until I found out two days ago that one of my leaders, Glenn Howerton, is a main voice over character. Watched the trailer and thought it looked terrible. Glad to see based on the comments I don't need to waste any time with it.

What do you mean one of your leaders? Are you in a cult?

So they made Velma black and made Fred an entitled moronic white guy in order to trash him?
Shocked.
Don't worry. Velma may be Indian, but Sh****s black now
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
that's amazing how much of a change they've taken since 2020 compared to the previous 30-40 years....i wonder why?BenFiasco14 said:YouBet said:

I forced myself to sit through the first 2 episodes. Honestly can't believe how bad this turned out.
Mindy Kaling should be ashamed of this nonsense. Everything about it sucks, except for the art and animation I guess

It just happens a lot, comedians are very funny and/or edgier earlier in their career. Then some percentage of them will just decide they should be above that for some reason, and thats how you get a show like Velma

Maybe she wasn't ever funny, ya know, because she's a woman.
I've never found her funny. Apparently she was a writer on the Office, so I have to assume she can write funny things. However, she was one of the worst things about the Office, imo. Even worse that Ed Helms... and I cannot stand Ed Elms.
Completely agree. She added nothing but annoyances on the show.
Kelly Kapour was a pretty funny secondary character. I didn't know people didn't like her.
Kaling's sitcom after the Office (Mindy Project?) wasn't near the same level, but it was pretty good.

She wrote The Injury (and some other great episodes). So she definitely has the ability to write funny things.DallasTeleAg said:

I like how this thread is more interested in discussing Norm MacDonald, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Office than in Velma
Nah, she had some really good moments. Probably my favorite wasn't even a spoken line. She had just told Ryan she was pregnant. Then the interview camera cuts to her and she just shakes her head. Cracked me up.DallasTeleAg said:

That one was funny.
To each their own. I did not like her character at all and generally rolled my eyes when she was on screen. I've just always found her to be annoying and unlikeable, in anything I've seen her in.
She was better than Nelly, but that ain't saying much.
Agreed that generally she wasn't a good or fun show character. Some moments for sure, but not near as much as others had.

Annoyed by a character that was written to be annoying.. Interesting...

As mentioned above, this is a genuine LOL moment every time I see it.
Hopefully staff forgives the derail on a discussion about a show nobody is watching anyways, but the worst characters in the office are Nelly, Deangelo, Andy after season 6, and Pam after season 5.
Robert California is a funny character, but every plot surrounding him is stale.
Dwight absolutely carries the show in seasons 8 and 9. All of Gabe's appearances are hilarious too. Never got the hate for him.
For Kelly - also love when she says "Yeah I have lots of questions. First of all, how dare you?" to Ryan

Yea, I thought her character was hilarious on the office, and used just the right amount. Not really a fan of her other shows, but I wrote that up to a matter of taste and just not liking that style of humor.double aught said:
