The Office 80s Version

If there's one thing people love more than NBC's comedy lineup, it's 80's nostalgia. YouTuber benny2700 has found the perfect way to combine them both with this awesome re-imagination of The Office as a 1980's sitcom.

He seems to draw specifically from 'Family Matters' (ahem, the theme song, the font colors), but we kind of like the idea of an 'Office' sitcom parody episode. We'd get a kick out of all of those awkward silences and shrugs at the camera being filled with a laugh track. What do you guys think?

Not to be picky about this but the soundtrack needed tape hiss and the camerawork in 80s sitcoms was never purposely messy.

Really, HuffPost? You gotta stop letting NBC PR flacks write your articles. Kinda embarrassing.

I wish this was longer, instead of using all the time for the theme song. It was hilarious when Jim looked at the camera and the "audience" laughed.

Hey, that would work! I'd be a good age for Idris Elba back then.
