As a disclaimer, I must first say that I have pretty much hated Gervais and Merchant after the cringingly mean-spirited "awkwardness" of the British version of The Office and this is just more of the same:
1. Potentially likable protagonist with some stingy or narcissistic tendencies gets into awkward situation due to these tendencies.
2. Everyone around is either offended or overreacts in an implausible way.
3. Protagonist tries to awkwardly talk his way out of it, inevitably making things worse.
4. Protagonist and one or more closer friends convince themselves that everything will be all right but never address their root problems of selfishness and narcissism.
