That sounded sarcastic but I was actually being serious.

Americans will always ruin anything British, it has been
happening all the way through history.

I never liked the Office anyway, I much prefered other
comedic offerings by British TV.

maybe you'd think it was rubbish if you'd seen the english
version, which is comic genius?

or am i being presumptuous?

How can you not like the office? You are strange.

And I did laugh a few times at the American one I must say.
The David Brent guy is pretty good :)

each to his own...

I don't why, but it didn't gel with me plus the boss just
made me cringe more than anything. I like Bremner Byrd and
Fortune.

The cringeworthiness is part of the genius! You should give
it another go

I know a fair few people who just don't find The Office
funny.

I really love it, myself. No other characters have made me
laugh more than those of the Office.

yes that's the whole point..

the whole show is entirely cringeworthy, each situation, and
intentionally so. that's what's funny.

laughing at the guy and the situations he puts people in..

The boss in the american one looks just like my boss and is
just as clueless. Add in Religious zealot and you've got the
package.

The American one feels a little too forced. The jokes were
there, but it just doesn't gel. Could have been great w/ a
little tweaking. Maybe a little more subdued. Now, the boss
in "office space" was more like most of my bosses. "Yeah,
I'm gunna need you to come in on Saturday"
