yes but the highest form of Gen X humor was sarcasm
absolutely nothing funnier to Gen X than just level 1 sarcasm eye roll oh brother
whereas millennials got to add in irony and subtext and nihilism to the self-hatred
a la Daria
my take is 30 Rock is start to finish the best of the series, starts strong and ends strong and doesn't really dip
Parks and Rec starts slow -- it wins the most wholesome
the Office fades pretty bad -- I never even finished the series -- but I think the Office's peak is the highest and I also think it's the most influential on the direction of sitcoms of any since maybe Seinfeld
I think the tougher question -- one that I think Townie asked a while ago -- is which is the best of NBC comedy character post-Seinfeld
I think it's Jack Donaghy, followed closely by Michael Scott, followed by Ron Swanson
