the american version is far inferior, but not as bad as i thought it'd be; even quite funny in places. this is old news btw. no one likes america, or american remakes. |

Dag, have you given the UK (ORIGINAL) version a proper chance, or just watched half an episode, then stwitched it off? It is something which grows on you and even if you think you get it from watching the American version you won't, cos the British one is so different. |

UK version for sure |

Very different types of comedy. I'd say you have to watch both even if the US version gets fucking horrible in later seasons with Pam and Jim thingy. |

Why don't you all take a lovely of my hometown of Slough, the setting for The Office. I tell no lies when I say that: in Slough High Street, there is a phrase put into the floor tiles by the council which reads "beauty you can only see with your eyes closed." |

Christ, that was bad. It could not have seemed any more shoehorned in, especially some of the lines. It's going to be a good...GENE HUNT... I cleverly signposted that it will be a GENE HUNT because I'm so good at writing. GENE HUNT |

only the first season was a remake, and it's become totally different to the uk one in the recent seasons. it's great, the marriage one where they did the youtube chris brown thing had me tearing up. i love dwight "in an ideal world i would have all 10 fingers on my left hand and my right hand would be a fist for punching", løl |

heh. the american office isn't bad, from what i've seen and everyone says that its gone off its own way which is good - i guess the chip on my shoulder is that america has enough talent to make its own original comedy and has offered many great exports, so remaking shit is just lazy. same with hollywood stealing ideas from world cinema and taking a happy ending on. |

I agree with most of what you say there. Only thing I'd like to throw out there is that The Office US is really not as lazy as you think, because artistic integrity was not the show's goal. The Office resonates with a huge percentage of the American people (the whole "I can relate that person in The Office to that person I work with" thing). The talent in making the show involved, originally, skillful re-adaptation. A straight "rip off" of The Office wouldn't have worked in the States because people here are, for the most part, too brain dead to appreciate British humor. |

only the Ricky G is funny on the English office, everyone else is gross looking and very boring/lame. the english version has way more funny stuff, and even the ugliest peoplle on the cast are still better looking than what the english consider to be hot. |

You just stuck a knife right in to my patriotic British heart, which remains beating only through my love for the crown. I'll never laugh again. |

The UK version was great. The US version is quite viewable. If not only for Steve Carrell. |

I still chuckle at the Knock Knock joke scene with Dwight if I think about it. |

I'm not a brit, but i prefer the UK version to the US version. I've watched every episode of both. I'm just sick of jim and pam's cutesy shit. They should have never got together, all the tension between them now has to do with financial issues or problems with the in-laws. The show would be better without them at this point. I like Tim and Dawn much more. David Brent had a depth of character that Michael Scott does not, but I still like both bosses. Office US does have better supporting cast though, in Dwight, Andy, Kevin, Angela and Stanley. |
