Since the glorious days of “Drop Dead Gorgeous” [and “Kath & Kim”, Australian one] Ive been a huge fan of a good mockumentary. How many a good laugh I’ve had watching “The Office” [US one], ah the good old days, the cheerful rock tune layered on winterly Scranton and the dull office life makes it so comfortingly warm in its routine.
As our eldest was born, it was winter. I took a long parental “leave” under completely unrealistic, in hindsight, expectations that this would really look more like a vacation and not more like some sophisticated form of torture.
My days back then looked like that:
02:00AM fall finally in uneasy sleep
03:00-06:00 wake up a number of times as luck may have it – with a very heavy head
07:00 stumble out of bed, disoriented, nauseous, drink a cup of tea
08:00 bring the Child over to the childcare lady, remains of my energy spent to dress up and to walk 800m
08:30-12:00 binge The Office on my laptop in the kitchen, and drink tea, eat minced meat straight out of packaging
12:30 pick up the Child from the childcare
12:30-12:00AM endure a seemingly never-ending struggle with a tantrum-throwing toddler rarely interrupted by short periods of easily disturbed sleep
12:00AM-2AM The Office!!
This all improved after a year or so, and the tantrums are long gone – but my love for Dunder Mifflin Scranton team is there to stay forever!
Anyways, imagine my amazement and disbelief as I stumbled upon the in-the-good-sense weirdo lady in the “Cunk on Earth” on Netflix a couple of days ago.. Jesus Christ she IS good.. Pitch-perfect delivery. Funny wordplay.. “My mate Paul” OMG.
And of course this gem of mockumentary humor:
Getting up close indeed.. 😀
NB: Pump up the Jam ahahah
I was rolling on the floor first three times this thing appeared out of the blue, but then it kind of stopped being hysterically funny.
A very smart decision to keep it all to 5 episodes 😉
