Roaming isn't a thing anymore? 
Roaming nowadays has largely been surplanted by E-sims, but in this scene they're talking about inter-state roaming charges. The woman in the screenshot is from florida and she's supposedly getting roaming charges while in Pennsylvania
Even when the show came out roaming wasn’t a thing. Roaming has nothing to do with esims and it has to do with which cell network you are connected to. In the American context, if your provider is Verizon but where you are you can only connect to T-Mobile towers then you are roaming.
The Office was never good.
There. I said it.
Not only it was never good but also super cringey and unfunny from my experience of watching some episodes of it.
To be fair it is cringe comedy so the fact that it is cringe is undeniable but also on purpose.
Cringe comedy is fundamentally bad, both in quality and moral terms.
I understand not liking cringe comedy but can you explain why you think it's morally bad?
It's an inherently down-punching type of comedy.
It's desperately unfunny
i thought it was funny :)
Counterargument: The Office is my comfort slop but I also hate myself.
Ya I fucking hated it. The UK version wasn't enjoyable, and the US version is another level of shit.
I’ve never watched a clip, let alone an entire episode and I’m not starting now.
I think it started the mockumentory genre, but I probably wouldn't watch if you're young and not into that genre.
This Is Spinal Tap was around about 20 years before The Office and that probably wasn't the first one.
That style has gotten severely overplayed. It went from a novel upending of the normie three camera comedy to be a paint by numbers trope itself.
What's wrong with being over 30 
Nothing's wrong with being over 30, we're just not in "The Demo" anymore.
Yeah, technically it's 18-34 but the segment of "The Demo" most stuff is targeted to is under 30.
Don't people 35 and up have more money? What makes kids so special? More impressionable?
Don't people 35 and up have more money?
In my dreams.
The over 30’s have more money but less of it is disposable income.
Jesus I’m way outside ‘The Demo’
