Steve Carell Agrees 'That's What She Said' Jokes Are 'Weak'

Recently, Steve Carell reflected on his time on The Office and changed his mind on his character’s ‘that’s what she said’ jokes. During an interview, a caller shared that she thought those jokes made on the show were ‘weak’ to which Carell said, “I agree.” Carell admits that he gets embarrassed when people shout the line to him when they see him out in public. He added, “Walking around with my kids, and someone would roll down the window of their car and scream, ‘That’s what she said.’ With no context! And not even in response to some, you know, it wasn’t even a joke one. No setup at all.” Steve continued, “It was fun in the moment, and certainly that character thought it was funny, which was the joke. Because it was even a bad joke back then. And the character did not have a good sense of humour. So, I think people forget that, that it was coming from a place of mockery, for starters.”
