Orientador: Profª. Drª. Maria Carmem Jacob Souza Salvador 2009 3 Sorte de hoje: a vida é um drama para quem vive e uma comédia para quem pensa. 4 AGRADECIMENTOS Escrever uma monografia a quatro mãos é uma tarefa complicada, portanto gostaríamos de começar agradecendo uma à outra. Pela paciência, compreensão e apoio nos momentos de desespero. Pelos anos comentando os episódios semanais de The Office religiosamente e pelo respeito aos spoilers quando uma assistiu antes da outra. Fazer pesquisa sobre uma série querida e com uma amiga foi um aprendizado e um prazer. Voltando a lista, é imprescidível agradecer imensamente a Ian Fraser por ser nosso maior patrocinador e fã, além de suportar a invasão de um ser estranho bagunçando sua rotina com discussões longas, maratonas de episódios e de escrita. Às nossas mães e famílias que, apesar de não fazerem ideia do que estávamos fazendo e porque estávamos tão ocupadas e ranzinzas, tentaram ajudar da forma que podiam. À Carmem, que mesmo ainda não tendo se rendido ao humor tanto nos inspirou e já ganhou mais duas fãs.

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.
