    It’s just … mean.

    None of those characters we watched and love for years would ever act the way they do here. I know the joke is coworkers are terrible and life is meaningless, but it’s too much ennui and nihilism for a fandom dedicated to humanity’s adventuring spirit.

        Just hear me out. Go and read them. Seriously go and read all 300+ of the comics this weekend or whenever you have time. If you don’t honestly get bored or feel downright empty, I will never post in an O’Brian at Work thread on pain of banning.

        I like most of the stuff yall post here, but O’Brian at Work is bad.

          I’ve read a good 200 of them and I did not honestly get bored or feel downright empty. They made me laugh. Maybe don’t take a pretend show about pretend people in on a pretend space ship or space station so seriously.

            I assure you, I don’t take the show all that seriously. But it’s also possible to not like a stupid web comic for valid reasons.

            I seem to have taken up enough of your time. I hope you have a good rest of your day.

              Believe it or not, no one is forcing you to look at these threads. Other people enjoy them and you are not being personally catered to.
