"Stromberg" is kinda German version of this series, but way diffrent. Its also made like a Mockumentary in a Office but the characters are totaly more awsome, also the Humor. I wish you guys could understand german. You would see that the Office is ........ not so good.
Recent UK TV is total shit, Eastenders wouldn't pass for a school play anywhere with good sense of quality. The reason I mention that is that's why Office UK got such an amazing reception. Big fish in a shitty pond.
In saying that, it was good, but not as good as it was made to be.
US Office jumped the shark around S5-6 (can't remember, they all kind of melt into each other with how much random shit goes on each episode).
The problem with the american version is that, the whole show is based around jokes. The office and the people in them come second to that. I feel the UK one was more at depth with the character. I felt bad for brent when he was in his hotel with his whiskey or on the road as a sales man.
the US version will constantly keep the jokes rolling. Its boring.
@JeRseybOy251 they don't. the brits made it first and ricky gervais helped make an american one too. They're both pure genius though so everyone should top complaining
@Roxiiz9797 just because it was here first doesn't mean it was better, the only funny part about the british version is keith, that guy is hilarious!, the american one is so much more fun to watch, the british one is just so gloomy and boring.
@JeRseybOy251 i understand what you mean, and i've actually only watched the first UK episode before deciding that the US was so much better - to me. What i'm saying is a lot of people enjoy the british one. I love rainn wilson and ed helms on the US one sooo much and i'm australian btw so it's not a county thing or anything
@JeRseybOy251 We don't. Just in this case we are! I've grown up in the UK watching US tv and I adore it. It's great and a lot of our culture is based around US tv. However, in this instance it's blatantly obvious that the UK Office is a true masterpiece which pioneered a lot of shows since.
@mulanruggio i tried watching the UK version on netflix, but i just can't get into it, theres not much going on, like the US version has so much fun situations.
@JeRseybOy251 This is a "Documentary in a Real Office" that is the whole concept of the show. If you ever worked in an office you would know that breaks from tedium happen once a day not every 5 minutes.
If you have ever worked in an office there's always a Keith . This is comedy of the highest order . Every character is superb . Makes you laugh and cringe in equal measure . Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant deserve every credit for this show .
I think this should just be "The Office" and the American one be "The Office US" Makes much more sense seeing as this is obviously the superior of the two.
@WhiteMaleRights ya same, sum ppl are stupid, i was watching the whole vid wit my face like this --> -__- didnt even smirk a bit, this is such a retarded show...The Office (US) is the opposite of this hahaha i loooove the US one! :D <---thats how my face looks like wen im watching the US version hahaha.... americans kno how its done. woot woot
This humor is much more silent. This one seems more boring so I prefer Fraiser to UK The office but the american office is way too annoying and awkward they rely heavily on michael scotts inappropriate remarks and he is such an idiot it sometimes annoys me. There is no way he could be a boss for that long with the stupidity he pulls.
Obviously the British sense of humour is too intellectual for some Americans. Just because the jokes aren't written on a fucking Big Mac they don't understand it.
@mrIpodmagic umm, the actual demonym of the United States is American, so when someone says american, they refer to a resident of the United States, not the landmass, comprising 2 continents.
I wonder what Americans think of other classic comedies like Blackadder and Phoenix nights. It seems that the humour sails over their heads and they might miss a subtle look at the camera or maybe they don't appreciate the perfect timing and delivery. The American version is very obvious and loud but this does not make for great comedy. I love American shows and they have done some great comedies but I find the American version of this to be pretty average.
Offices ARE boring.....it is supposed to be a fly on the wall documentary of an office..I first saw Steve Carrell when he was on the John Stewart show 10 years ago and found it funny....seen him in many things .....he has never changed yet and stopped being funny when he went into films.
Americans fall asleep because there is no laughter track BUT there would not be becausze of what it is.
UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version UK version > US version US version > UK version blaaaah
This is PURE CLASS.....it explains why Americans do not like it....there is no one telling you when to laugh ....this works on so many different levels.
If you ever worked in an office you would understand what is going on...
@gnwillou Funnily enough the American TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm started the year before this hugely influenced it. Probably explains why Gervais idolizes Larry David. Have you ever tried to watch Seinfeld? The greatest example of British audiences not being sophisticated enough to 'get' a comedy that I've ever seen.
@gnwillou the american version has the same style, no one tells you when to laugh, this one is just boring, keith is the star of the show. face it, the american one is just so much more fun to watch.
@gnwillou Many americans love the british version, as well as the american version. And every other combination (hate both, like only one). Stop with the incorrect generalizing to make yourself feel superior on what is, ultimately, a subjective topic, you dope.
@tantheman6254 so youre saying my opinion is false, so apparently my own personal mind is a lie? And I must use doublethink to correct my error...got ya big brother!
@ALLIED7621 of course it was uk who did it first, americans just copied the idea, cant escape the fact that ricky is a comedy genius and the humour is very uk
wow Ricky Gervais a comedy genius? David Chappelle is a comedy genius, Louis CK is a comedy genius, Larry David genius, Seinfeld genius, Monty Python cast genius but Ricky? he can be funny but he's no genius.
@quietriotish Well the show has definitely already peaked and is on a downward spiral. They were very stupid thinking the show could go on without Steve Carell. I think both Steve Carell and Ricky Gervais did excellent jobs playing incompetent bosses in their own unique way. However other than Michael Scott, the American version has nothing on the UK version. The UK version is written much better, generally funnier, and had enough sense to end the show while it was still good..
Gervais created something so special on this show. The Office is incredibly finely observed. So many little things that make it the best sitcom ever seen.
The UK version is genius, a sort of subtle humour which is a far cry from the slapstick dumbed down humour on the US version. Irish people are quite divided as to which one is better, but personally I far prefer the UK version.
@Sept0pus That's an ignorant comment. Ricky Gervais intended it to be only 2 seasons from the beginning, so it didn't become stale and lame like many sitcoms do. It lasted 2 seasons because it was designed to; that's part if its genius.
@Sept0pus Cancelled lol, It's arguably the best Sitcom of the last 20 years, do you really think it got cancelled? In Britain we just prefer quality over quantity.
I watched the UK version, liked it and therefore did the logical thing of watching the US version. Try not to compare them as the second season is where it picks up.
to me this is THE best/funniest scene from the entire UK show. i laughed so hard first time i saw this. i can only imagine how many takes it took them to get through that lol
the british version might as well be called 'the gervais show' or 'gervais does his pompous boss routine and has all the camera time show'
i admit that gervais is better than carrell but the american office has alot of characters the british one basically has one (well keith rocks in this scene but tahts it)
and i would very much like to go to an office video and not see all the comments battling over which is fucking better US or UK. it's never gonna be solved so leave it alone
I am in america, born in america, and I have to say, the US version is THE WORST. Uk office has best believable acting and I cannot stand US version. Please all you hicks learn something k? ^_^
@IHarlequinity ever consider that the american office LASTED for more than 14 episodes in total? i think that says a substantial amount about 1. the quality of US vs. UK, 2. the US has more originality because its lasted longer.... and its funnier because obviously audiences find it to be so. sorry, facts outweigh opinions in this case...
@tantheman6254 or maybe it says a substantial amount about Americans audiences which include many dumb fucks like you, who are too stupid to appreciate subtle comedy, and allow shows as hideously unfunny as friends to run for a horrific 10 years..
im from the UK and i think both are brilliant. i do love the UK version because much of the humour is about knowing what the characters are thinking, despite them not actually saying it. its almost as if they use silence as a form of dialogue.
all the people saying 'US are lame for copying our show' need to get over it. watch season 1 - 5 you cant deny that the writers are very talented
Performance reviews are complete horseflop! At one company, they screwed up and gave me two reviews, by two different managers. The two managers couldn't agree on my strengths, weaknesses, or what skills I needed to work on!
It was on that day that I realized I should follow Keith's model, and put the least amount of effort humanly possible into the process.
British people in general will prefer the British version and Americans will probably prefer the US version. Its a culture thing and Brits and Americans have very different sense of humours.
However saying all that the UK version is a masterpiece and the US version is just another run of the mill easy viewing dumbed down comedy, just like two and a half men or friends, which amazingly America seems to love.
@MaverickJimBob Lol in fairness i've probably seen every single episode, but it's not really funny is it, sure it's very easy viewing and Rachel and Monica are hot but it's not exactly a comedic masterpiece.
@Hittingitstiff im english and much prefer the US version, i love both american and english comedy but i have to say on average the uk creates much better comedies, but when it comes to the office steve carrel makes me roflmao and ricky gervais is just alright
@Hittingitstiff The US version is loved for its dry, random humor. It leaves quotes that stick in your head for years. However, when Michael left, it went downhill. The only good show left on American television is The Big Bang Theory.
@kocejam What don't you understand? I'm American, and I can make out every word. I grew up in Chicago so I know what unclear English sounds like. Get over yourself.
When the news emerged that Gervais and Merchant had sold the rights to the US to make their own version it was reported that Steve Merchant's "eyes bulged with imagined riches".... no, his eyes bulge anyway
The uk is the original and the brain child of the 2 genius's Merchant and Gervais. What happens when you license out the shows format to another country, many more people get their hands in and take it to a place where they see fit, to appeal to their own market. The US show is slightly different to suit their audience, the German Office will cater for the German sense of humor. The original will never replicated exactly the same cos whats the point? its already been done!
Everyone ready for this??? I am American and I prefer the English version. Everyone ok? Alright then, I also enjoy the American version. We still good? No British or American heads have exploded at the idea of actually enjoying something that may have originated in another country? OK, good.
@calebshu DAMN right our American cousin! I am English and love both versions! I think my countrymen forget, that working offices in America are different - thus, the difference in humour. In your version, I like Dwight best - sinister guy! GREAT STUFF!
@calebshu Objectivelly one is better than the other,of course that doesn't make the other shit.It has plenty of good jokes but what makes the office great is the awkard moments. Don't understand why brits should not enjoy something originated from another country?Don't get it since as many shows it got exported to US. As for the issue itself it seem Ricky Gervais has some problems too-if you remember the golden globes.
Thats fine with me . I am British and most of my favourite shows have been American eg seinfeld, sanders, sopranos, hill street blues, babylon 5, northern exposure... but some great UK ones too.
one of the best if not the best sitcom ever between this fawlty towes , father ted , curb your enthusiasm , garth marenghis darkplace and alan partridge lol
everyone's fighting about us vs. uk on these uk office videos. ... on the us office videos, people are just posting happy comments. calm the fak down, uk

im from the UK and i think both are brilliant. i do love the UK version because much of the humour is about knowing what the characters are thinking, despite them not actually saying it. its almost as if they use silence as a form of dialogue.
all the people saying 'US are lame for copying our show' need to get over it. watch season 1 - 5 you cant deny that the writers are very talented

Performance reviews are complete horseflop! At one company, they screwed up and gave me two reviews, by two different managers. The two managers couldn't agree on my strengths, weaknesses, or what skills I needed to work on!
It was on that day that I realized I should follow Keith's model, and put the least amount of effort humanly possible into the process.

British people in general will prefer the British version and Americans will probably prefer the US version. Its a culture thing and Brits and Americans have very different sense of humours.
However saying all that the UK version is a masterpiece and the US version is just another run of the mill easy viewing dumbed down comedy, just like two and a half men or friends, which amazingly America seems to love.

@Hittingitstiff The US version is loved for its dry, random humor. It leaves quotes that stick in your head for years. However, when Michael left, it went downhill. The only good show left on American television is The Big Bang Theory.

When the news emerged that Gervais and Merchant had sold the rights to the US to make their own version it was reported that Steve Merchant's "eyes bulged with imagined riches".... no, his eyes bulge anyway
dodoegg1 3 months ago
The uk is the original and the brain child of the 2 genius's Merchant and Gervais. What happens when you license out the shows format to another country, many more people get their hands in and take it to a place where they see fit, to appeal to their own market. The US show is slightly different to suit their audience, the German Office will cater for the German sense of humor. The original will never replicated exactly the same cos whats the point? its already been done!

@calebshu Objectivelly one is better than the other,of course that doesn't make the other shit.It has plenty of good jokes but what makes the office great is the awkard moments. Don't understand why brits should not enjoy something originated from another country?Don't get it since as many shows it got exported to US. As for the issue itself it seem Ricky Gervais has some problems too-if you remember the golden globes.
