And while the premise is funny in itself, the dialogue and one-liners are what carry the show.

The Office (2005)
This one goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway. The Office is one of those shows you can watch in a complete haze because, let’s be honest, you’ve seen it more than once. And if you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat. The Office (U.S.) is an adaptation of the British TV show of the same name. The mockumentary-style sitcom is set at a paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and documents the everyday lives of the employees as well as the inner workings of an office space. The incompetent regional manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell), oversees the staff, subjecting them to his ridiculous antics while regularly crossing the line between professional and personal. If The Office isn’t already your go-to stoned show, just watch one episode, and you’ll find yourself going back to it every time you blaze.
