The Hobbit
trilogy and The Office TV series are great shows that’ll likely keep you entertained for hours, but what would you get if these two worlds were somehow merged?

Fans of both The Hobbit and The Office (whether it’s the U.K. version starring Freeman and/or the U.S. version) will not be surprised to see Bilbo become a paper salesman, and will instantly recognize the characters, the puns and the parallels made between these distinct environments.
