I don't mind the stupidity of the characters. I only mind the clichéic nature of the jokes. Too many "can't get laid" and "gay" type jokes, like the second season episode 5.
But the agent is the funniest thing ever - he made me explode in laughter a couple of times, like out-of-the-blue, completely unexpected.
When he talked about "mongoloids", is when I realized that there's more to this show than I originally thought. A brilliant guy.
I think he's one of the writers of 'The Office', and makes a small almost-cameo appearance in that show as well, but he's only funny in this one. He talks really fast, but he also talks really straight, which is refreshing. I wish everyone talked like that, without gimmicks, without programmed behaviour, without "politeness" or other lie-based surface crap.
Just direct, honest and straight talk, using the real names of things, not caring if someone gets 'offended' or 'hurt', just saying what he wants to say, innocently and openly.
He's an awful agent (why would ANYONE employ him? I don't think that would never happen in the real world, especially after they find out how bad he is. The reputation would be ruined, after the word spreads around).
But he's sometimes really funny, and that's why I don't mind that he's so 'stupid' or maybe more like 'socially ignorant' or something. He doesn't seem like he's just completely stupid, like the hag (why would he hang around her, when all she does is screw up everything for him?) - but doggone it, that agent in his 'social ignorance' is just the funniest thing, sometimes.
Just listen to him talk about them mongoloids.. ever since, I have adapted that word and try to apply it as much as possible. We have to fight political correctness, that's trying to suffocate and censor everyone, although every human being has total freedom of speech (even when they have consented to not being able to use that right).
Too bad that most discussion forums and other similar places do not respect this fundamental right. Every friggin' thing is full of moderators and censorship, and it's getting worse all the time. Soon you can't even write normal english anymore, because you have to be sooo careful as to which words are on the 'forbidden' list, dámn it!
And we all know that's just búllshít!
