Rory is wrong - US Office rocks!

[El Roranous]

I wonder which mod did this? US OFFICE lover of a MOD. BBC Version owns!

 

[Kuzeh]

Well, I like both shows but I think each one has it's particular "flavor" and that makes them so different in between that it has something for everyone.

The UK Office is hilarious, but Ricky's "Dave" is a complete moron, funny but a moron and a pretty pathetic person, and Steve's "Michael" is a moron but it has some kindness on him so I feel more simpathetical of him.

Both shows rock!, but I'd rather work at the U.S. office and have Michael as my boss, becaus if I had Dave, I'd kill myself!!

But that's the point. He's so pathetic that nobody can really stand him. Awesome character IMO.

I was getting sick of the derailment in the spook thread and this was a nice little block I could lift out.

And the UK Office bored me silly - I hated Gervais' character and it was just uncomfortable to watch. Carrell is hilarious - the US Office has really opened it up and is much funnier.

That's why I moved my comments to the 'Actors I can't stand' thread.

I wasn't 'bored' by the UK version, but after seeing the US version it pales in comparison. The US version is a superior show in all aspects (cast, writing) despite Gervais' genuis.

The UK version has its charm but the US version is a completely different animal -- a wild, ferocious animal that creeps up to its prey and tickles without mercy again and again.

British version isn't funny.

Couldn't disagree more.

Also, Gervais was supposed to make you feel uncomfortable that's what's funny about it. American's need things to be too point blank to make sense.

I like them both... Though I do think the US version is a bit funnier. Though I think it is owed greatly to Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. The stuff those characters go through, coupled with Michael's ******* boss... Greatness.

whatever you guys think, Gervais is in the $$$ with the success of the US version

That and Extras.

My god I hope they don't make a dumbed down American version of Extras. *BArfs*

we bow down to your high intelligence rory......we are not worthy.

I love Extras! The David Bowie episode was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. But I'm a huge Bowie fan, so I'm a little biased.

The ian mckellen one was my favorite!

OK. Well, I see you're insulted by my opinion but I will accept your submission.

The more people on their knees the better.

Every episode was great! How about Daniel Radcliffe smoking and hitting on every woman he saw? Or Ricky beating up Warwick Davis!

I really wish there was going to be more episodes.

I like them both and I thought Ricky Gervais had something to do with the American version. I do see the British humor in the American version.
In defense of the American version it has been on the air longer and they have had a chance for more character development.

I think Ricky Gervais is a genius but I also think Steve Carell is also a genius. I would love to see them in a movie together.
