The Weed Feed

I think this is one of those things which doesn’t have any particular characteristics that make it better when you’re high; it’s just a funny show that you happen to laugh at more when you’re high because, well, you just laugh at everything more when you’re high.

This show follows the happenings in a Pennsylvanian paper company called Dunder Mifflin. It’s about the antics of the boss, Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) and the way that other people in the office respond to him. They either do it with overzealous respect that borders on worship (see Dwight and Andy), with playful sarcasm (like Jim and Pam), with frustration (Oscar), naiveté (Kevin) or many other responses that flourish in their own comic right. And because there are so many different characters reacting in their own ways, a broad spectrum of comedy emerges, with everything from the lowest brow jokes to awkward scenarios and plays on words. At the end, this variety allows the show to be constantly original. This is one of those great shows that I can’t really ever see jumping the shark, but who knows? Either way, I think I’ll always enjoy it.

One great thing about this show is that you can watch shows free online at nbc.com; so I would recommend it if you have any free time.
