The Office is a very popular sitcom that was aired first in 2005 and was last aired in 2013. It is mockumentary on a group of typical office workers, where the workday consists of ego clashes and inappropriate behavior. The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. To simulate the look of an actual documentary, it is filmed in a single-camera setup, without a studio audience. This episode is one of my favorite episodes from the entire series. It displays chaos and makes me laugh every time I watch it. Michael steps on his grill and burns his foot. He then calls his workers to pick him up, because "he is unable to get up", when in reality he is overreacting. This entire episode is displaying Michael's exaggeration and his worker's nonchalant attitude toward it. This scene displays a lack of emotion or care towards Michael's over exaggeration. Satire is used throughout this entire scene. The word satire is defined as humor or mockery. This entire series is defined as satire. However in this scene we see that the workers are mocking Michael and making fun of the way he is acting, except Dwight. The entire series of The Office is full of satire and sarcastic remarks and humor.
