Who Needs a Comedy Special When You Have These Boomer Dad Jokes?

The Office

Some people take job instructions a little too literally — like the security guard who was asked to “watch the office” and decided that meant binge-watching The Office. You have to admit, it’s a hilarious misinterpretation. Instead of monitoring the workplace, they’re following the antics of Jim and Dwight.

But let’s be honest — who can blame them? The Office is comedy gold. Maybe, just maybe, the boss was hoping the guard would learn a thing or two about managing people… or at least staying awake. It’s the kind of workplace joke that makes you wonder if miscommunication isn’t sometimes just the perfect excuse for a TV marathon.
