office humor

Cubicle comedy style

Office humor refers to jokes, pranks, and comedic exchanges that arise in workplace settings, often drawing on shared experiences like tedious meetings, difficult bosses, or malfunctioning equipment.

It ranges from harmless banter among colleagues to elaborate pranks and running gags that become part of a workplace's culture.

Office humor can serve as a bonding mechanism and stress reliever, though it sometimes crosses into territory that HR departments discourage.

The show built its entire premise around dry office humor and awkward silences.
