The American Office is pretty boring..

omg, I can't wait...with all the failing economy hooplah taking place this week, tonight none of it will matter...and the poster who said Ricky Gervais is funnier than Steve Carrell is smoking something I want. I do like Ricky Gervais, but the british version of The Office is drier than burnt toast, and isn't even close to being as funny as the American version.johnnyv2003

well there's good british humor, and bad british humor...just like american comedy, i'd file the british version of the Office under bad...IMO

I dont think steve carrell is good at playing the boss like Gervais was. Gervais was an absolute self obsessed prick Carrell seems to...sweet even when he tries not to be. Also I find the humor in the American Office too in your face and obvious, not as subtle and funny as the british one. Plus the American Office doesnt have Martin Freeman. Thats not to say I dont like the american office, to me the american office is like watching friends or everybody loves raymond, you dont have to to think much while watching it. I actually have to pay attention while watching the U.K version of the office. Plus in the U.S version of the office did steve carrell ever do something as awesome as this:D

This scene alone is better than anything the U.S Office has ever done. The show Extras is better than both versions of the office though:P

well I guess we differ on comedies. That's one genre of film and TV where I really don't want to think. If something makes me laugh, it makes me laugh...whether I have to think or not is irrelevant. That being said, I love Ricky Gervais..can't wait to see Ghost Town, and Extras was a great show

Meh I never found it very funny. Steve Carrell is nowhere near as funny as Ricky Gervais. Film-Guy

Fair enough, I like comedy that makes me think though. Alot of George Carlins comedy is like that, which is why he is a favorite of mine.

I cant believe people like The Office its really not that funny. Ricky Gervais = Not Funnydaftdog

That = Your opinion:P

It's not dry. The humour is intelligent and subtle, like most British comedy.SolidSnake35

Eh, I think people think it's more intelligent because it's British and because of the way they speak. People see Ricky Jervais putting a sex doll in everyone's face and say it's genuis but when someone see it sitting in the corner in the US version, it's unintelligent.

I liked Ricky's character and his boss better than the equivilant in the US version, but I think the rest of the cast in the US version is much better than their British equivilants.

Meh I gotta disagree, the cast in the original office is much better than the American one. Martn Freeman for example is great. The cast aside from steve Carrell in the American Office are all pretty dull to me.

I'm so excited. Anyone who doesn't like the Office obviously needs to learn what "funny" is.monkeytoes61

Or a different opinon maybe:|

Pam: Why would you want to raise your cholesterol?

Dwight: So I can lower it.

yes, the epic funnies are found on The Office. The second episode of the series, "Diversity Day" is the best episode, and one of the funniest episodes of a show i've seen on TV.

The American Office is pretty boring..

The UK version pwns though.

I prefer the US version.

I am definitely more a fan of the British series. I can't really get into the US counterpart.

Eh. I've seen a lot of both, and they're just different. The British version does not automatically get to be "better".Jandurin

Pretty good premiere.

[spoiler] Ryan returning was the best........Poor Toby [/spoiler]

[spoiler] my favorite parts were dwight putting the fruit into the snack machine and the line from andy, "I will marry you in the eye of a hurricane, in the middle of a snow storm, on top of a mountain" [/spoiler]

the office is cool even though its not filmed in scranton....H8sMikeMoore
