Ricky Gervais Says 'The Office' Would Have Trouble Airing Today

It's a good thingThe Office started its run in a different time. Had the series hit screens today, so-called cancel culture would shut it down.

That's the claim from creator Ricky Gervais, who said in an interview with Times Radio that audiences now take things too "literally".

"There are these outrage mobs who take things out of context," said Gervais. "This was a show about everything – it was about difference, it was about sex, race, all the things that people fear to even be discussed or talked about now, in case they say the wrong thing and they are canceled."

The funnyman feels that the writers would have to change jokes and skip certain subjects, adding, "Some people have lost their sense of irony and context."

Which other shows of the past do you feel couldn't get made today?
