    eh, he had a technical profession but i didn’t think the humor relied on anything too obscure. i might be misremembering; it’s definitely possible.

      The character is a nerd, but the humor is not simply “have you tried turning it off and on again.” The jokes are generally not about anything technical but about micromanagement by a dumb boss, hierarchy and HR disasters, and terrible office relations with self-centered asses. It should be relatable by anyone slightly technical with diploma who works in an office, and that should be a lot of people not in manual labor in the 90s. Like, if you use Excel or PowerPoint, you’re in the target for that humor.

        yeah that’s pretty much what I thought. shame he turned out to be such a chud. and an extremely racist one too. like, he was arguing for segregation and shit.
