Re: The Office
I think the UK one is better. Cos it has Ricky Gervais.

Re: The Office
Second that, If I hadn't seen the original, id probably enjoy th US version, but you can't beat Gervais, even though I like Carell a lot. It was just a bad attempt to copy the Brits to me. Same goes for ''Etaten'' an attempt to copy the office in my country, was more distanced from the original than the US version so it was a bit better, but still, not close to the original.

Re: The Office
I expected the US version to be inferior to the UK one but I was suprised how much I enjoyed it. The supporting characters aren't as strong but Carell is very good and saves the show.

Re: The Office
It irritates me at times, but there's definitely some humor in there!

Re: The Office
Yeah, that show cracked me up a few times, when I watched it. I've seen much better comedies though.

Re: The Office
Can't stand it, it is like fingernails on a blackboard to me
As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a “white slag” and “white ****” as they beat me.

Re: The Office
Personally I think it's utterly crap compared to the original.

Re: The Office
I love it. Never seen the UK version, but I don't usually care much for British comedies (except for Monty Python).
Steve Carrell is hilarious, and the supporting cast, especially Dwight and Andy, are funny as hell.

Re: The Office
Today I watched a couple episodes of the British one and they are so similar. At least the pilots. It made be feel hurt, and betrayed. Now the British version will forever be ruined for me, even though it came first, oh well.

Re: The Office
I'd have to say I preferred the British one. The US one seems to simply reuse the same jokes and gags, like the stapler in the jelly
Although to be honest the British one wasn't my kind of humour either really.
