The Office

[Preacher]

Oh my god.

Just watched the american version of the office and i've one conclusion to make.........

ITS SHIIIIIITTTT.

They have totally ruined one of the funniest programs to ever grace the british television industry.

I dont know whether its cos american humour lacks something that we have over in the UK or what but they've fuckin ruined it.

I cant believe this shit. I just hope people over in the sates dont think this is what the original office was really like. Looks like one big IBM advert.

Any other UK people seen this turd???

i have not seen the american version, and from what you've described i'll keep clear of it, but the UK Version is briallant. The more you watch it, the more pity you feel for David Brent (Ricky Gervais), and, of course, the funnier it gets.

David Brents classic dance (second series).

Yep. In my opinion the best british sitcom produced. Never before has there been a series where every single part of every episode makes you laugh till you nearly pee.

Nice to see someone else on here with taste.

Have you seen the christmas special?
Dawn and Tim finally reveal there true feelings for each other...a good show indeed.

America made their own version of something and it was shit?


Get out of town... We havent ruined a thing here. Product placements add character. And fart jokes are better than subtlety.


Next thing you know, you'll be saying we took the croissant and bastardized it for bk's Croissandwiches". We dont cheapen anything. You all just have your standards set to high...


Seriously though... American producers are Vampires, sucking the soul from everything they touch.

Very true.

They did the same with another British sitcom called Red Dwarf.

[Vodstok]

Red dwarf was americanized? I thought they just re-ran the british version.

[tom-tom]

It was americinized. More details avaible HERE (http://members.allstream.net/~dtpltd/exclusive.html)

[Preacher]

Yeah. It was just a pilot episode though i thought. And it was shiiiiiiit.

Holy shit.... Why not remake Monty Python while we're at it....



On behalf of the American people, i apologize.


Apparently, nothing is sacred.

Well, i've just watched the american version of the office on cable TV and I can confirm it is most definately a bag of shite.

The dry sense of humour from the english version has been completely removed and it has been turned into a typical american sitcom. Again they have to point out where the jokes are for people to understand them.

Do you guys have the original shown in the US as well? My advice would be to watch it and avoid this gayness.
