I am imitating what it would be like to be a character on the popular comedy series, The Office.

Actually, The Office has been having a bit of a revival, because it's now available on Netflix in many countries.

It is unique because it's shot as a mockumentary.

Now, a mockumentary is done in a style that seems similar to a documentary.

But, in fact, it's actually done for comedy, usually.

An example would be, I'll ask him to take out the trash when he gets up from his nap.
