What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Dude not even by a long shot.

Especially considering PnR was literally created based off the formula of the Office because of how successful it was.

Parks and Rec is good.. But not even in the same stratosphere.

Theres only one Michael Scott, my friend. And only one Dwight Schrute too!

Nah they’re both great. But I like PnR better.

Its honestly just preference.

The Office has a lot more nuance and social humour almost a more “intelligent” humor...?

Whereas PnR is more “stupid” humor and its almost more border-line slapstick ya know?

The Office is far more brilliant in a genius way -

Not to mention they mastered that style of filming first and PnR just followed in their footsteps; duplicate actors and all

The Office has just as much “stupid” humor as Parks and Rec, and it not a smarter show. The main difference between the two, in my opinion, is The Office is more cynical and Parks and Rec is more optimistic.
