Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this adult-oriented office comedy paints a pretty bleak picture of corporate culture, mining most of its laughs from management faux pas. There's some sexual humor, including interoffice affairs, as well as some low-level violence that's played for laughs. In addition, some characters make racist and sexist remarks, and two secondary characters have problems with drugs and alcohol, also played for laughs.

Sexual Content

Frequent jokes about sex and some sexual innuendo, but nothing overt, with occasional (but comical) blurred nudity. Some co-workers are involved in on-again, off-again physical relationships and/or interoffice affairs.

Violence

Some semi-violent incidents are played for comedy, such as an employee getting injured on the job and having to be hospitalized, etc.

Language

Inappropriate comments about race and gender that are either ignored or met with disbelief. Occasional use of words like "bitch," "ass," "hell," etc.

Social Behavior

For the most part, corporate culture is portrayed as dysfunctional and grossly inefficient ¿ and there isn't a whole lot of "working" going on. There's also an overarching message that you can be completely incompetent and still keep your job, as long as you're loyal to the company.

Consumerism

Some product placement -- notably by Staples. One episode took place at Hooters, another at Chili's, etc.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

One character has an ongoing problem with alcohol (played for laughs), occasionally getting drunk at office functions where alcohol is served. Another has a history of drug use and still uses marijuana, etc.
