The Office is unconventional in the way that the characters talk straight to the audience, therefore the so called fourth wall is practically non-existent. Some characters like Jim often times have this connection with the audience by looking at them with that look "I am the only one who saw this?"
So the TV series is mainly a writers show, all the awws and ohhs are scripted. Even the characters expressions and the camera angles are written. Actually there is so much work put into it, to look natural and unrehearsed, whereas in reality even the operators movements and angles are choreographed. Comedy wise it is really unique as well because mainly the funniest situations are "that awkward moment when..." driven. I personally love the show because it manages to beautifully capture those insane life moments in an everyday environment and make them very relevant to the audience. The whole show keeps you wandering that this might happen to you, because there is nothing unrealistic about it.
Also it's really funny.
