19 years ago on this date The Office debuted , listening to Brent today he does wonder if his humour would survive the moral outrage gangs of today , you can see that in life when you make a comic /sarky /of the cuff comment and its leapt upon by the purists .
Yes it 100% would. People have always been offended by stuff, it's now that people have the ability to broadcast their opinions to millions of others at the click of a buttonQuote:

Nobody with a brain cell is going to be offended by Brent and the office, as the joke is on him, a deluded narcissistic and inadequate white bloke who seems to fail at every juncture. I just so happens that it's funny, sad and desperate in equal measure. It is a worry though that people don't seem to understand parody, the footballing equivalent on cheering opposition goals.Quote:
