The Office (US version)

Post by Dr. Greenthumb »

I don't know what the rule is for posting tv shows on here but I guess you can consider it a movie since it's one dvd.

I love this show. I've seen every episode to date and it never fails to make me laugh.

Anyone like this show or been watching the new season?

I say a that's what she said joke at least once a day.

I didnt use to like it, found it too awkward to watch...but its grown on me. I still find some parts way too awkward to watch, but I watch it from time to time now.

me too actually. I didn't like it at 1st but then I watched it more and more when nothing better was on, now I like it. Although I don't go out of my way to watch it, if it's on, then I'll watch it, if I missed it, then whatever.... I don't mind.

In my science class today everyone including the teacher were reflecting on hilarious moments from The Office. I'm not too familiar with the show, and after a while of thinking of any episodes I've seen, I remembered the one where they found pot in the parking lot. When I told my peers of this, I killed the shareable mood just by mentioning weed. :rasta:

The original, British version was way funnier, I watched some of the US series but well it was bland and generally not funny.

its a very pale imitation of the original english version, and if i was american, and mindful, I would be insulted at how much more dumb the writers had made the humour to make it appeal to a yankee audience...it seems more like 'The Office for Retards'.

everyone here in norrth america loves the show, i personally watch it if theres nothing else. but its the same thing for us though man, in canada and america we have pretty much the same style of comedy and we think the stuff from the uk is pretty horrible.

Its more intelligent, generally, than American Humour...which is hardly surprising...its indicative of the differences in intellect between the countries and cultures...for the english revel less in their own muck, than their transatlantic brethren.

I like British humor better in general, it's more witty and less stupid :)

Though i like American movies like Pineapple express etc, simply because they are not weak copies of awesome british comedy series.

This turned into UK vs. US thread pretty quick :lol:

I've tried watching the UK version it's not the same without Steve Carrell. He's one of the few actors that can make me feel embarrassed by just watching some of the situations he gets himself into.

I love the episode where him and andy pick up to waitresses from benihana and michael marks one of them with a sharpie so that he can tell them apart.
