@DMCdawg : I know exactly what you mean! Knowing when to end something.......like say for instance; is there a reason why Desperate Housewives isn't effing over?????
@DMCdawg Not necessarily. If you end the American Office at the end of any season from 3 to 5, its miles better. The UK version was only 14 episodes long. We as Brits have a habit of overrating anything British-made. The US version is much better IMO up until Season 5, its just that the last 2 seasons have been horribly unnecessary. They dont even seem like the same show, because it seems too slick and sitcommy if you know what I mean. Watch an ep of S2 and then an ep of S6 to get my point.
Mackenzie Crooks (Gareth) really impresses me here. It's one long shot and he has quite a lot to do. If he acts too big or too small he can really ruin the take.
@BlueThunderFlik I agree. His facial expressions and mumbling etc are perfect. He totally embodies that type of person who is always trying to jump in on something and participate even though they have no clue what is going on.
@springsteen96 No, it isn't. The American version is in your face slapstick "THIS IS A JOKE. YOU LAUGH HERE" dumbed down BS for moronic yanks. America will never appreciate true comedy as they always try and appeal to the masses.
gareth was actually good at his background stuff.... lol shes deeeaad SHES NOT DEAD. lol the office is genius and the way gervais played brent will make our grand children and there grand children laugh.. brilliant stuff.
Apples and oranges Chimps and baboons Man-moths and munchies and gormless cartoons Round heads and weirdness And foodage and ants Ghosts, flies and condoms And tits, cocks and Kants Manchester, England A horse in a house A congress tart, pieclets And a monkey-balled mouse Wonder, amazement, Depression and spleen And wet trouser sickdays In Pilkie convene
Considering i have seen clips with take 20+ i'm amazed they managed to get through this entire song in one sitting! They must have used all their willpower in this take hich is why they had none left for the others.
@Tonyokay87 Gervais sold 'The Office' to America, he wrote it and it was aired in the mid to late 90's in Britain, it was genius. He only did 2 series and a few christmas specials, its not funny when it gets dragged out for 5 seasons. Gervais is a genius and there is only ONE David Brent, sorry Steve Carell but no one does the awkard boss like Ricky Gervais.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's too bad they had to resort to stupid side remarks about homosexuality in order to appeal to the idiots who would take the song too seriously and understate its comedic brilliance. Probably what Ricky had in mind when he wrote the second season of Extras.
Absolutely agree! Gervais is pure comedy genius and talented singer/musician. In fact Gareth was doing pretty well there too with his backing vocals - great song! Wish I could download it as a ring tone!
This is why the UK Version is better, not just because it's the original, and also because Steve Carell can't do this, only the wonderful talents of David/Ricky can do that.
I think there a way Ricky Gervais,Stephen Merchant, and Greg Daniels can make a episode with the US and the UK office. Have you guys ever notice a UK flag is on Micheals office desk. And I do agree with you 100% DarkDragonX1989.
ricky gervais and steve carrell would be an atomic bomb of funny. I imagine they would get ricky in as a consultant or something.... which in turn would lead to friction between the two. I hope they do an episode together before the US version is done.
I honestly laugh throughout this.
