The Office - The IT Guy, Tim, and Gareth

[ReuMTube]

@Boschman0 This is laughable. It's called SUBTLE humor, like real life you know? The US is too "in your face" humor which actually takes a lot a way from the show. And no, I'm not just being biased as I'm from the UK, most people agree.

@Boschman0

In England talent and great acting makes the show not the producers, I mean that in a figurative sense just in case you don't understand. I know in America you prefer style over substance but the opposite it true in the UK .

[Tommyballstar]

@Boschman0 Firstly it's 'too much' and secondly the US version of The Office is just a dumbed down version of the original, proper version. The mumbling, not that I'd noticed, adds to the realism and documentary style as opposed to the heavily scripted and rather base american copy.

[ec123456789able]

i once knew a guy exactly like that. lol.

[pauldob73]

Its not your computer its Wernham Hogg's computer ... LOL

[024Vishal]

Tim's awesome



[lahalane]

Thats what I love about the British version, this guy is just a once off and doesnt show up every week til hes gone so unfunny hes just annoying to watch.

[TheUTubeTeamSucks]

@nodiscobiatch For all that the computer bloke is such a twat, he's kinda steals the scene completely with that line. Great characters & script.

[D7eadnaught]

What a cock! Brilliant bit of tv, cracking character.

[jigglebop99]

i am a IT guy we are the geek chic and we do MAKE SHITLOADS......NEC bristol.....40k per year and we can wear jeans if we want...bazooga""""""""

[CassandraMercy]

Big bang Theory is not funny? Only an American Studio Executive could have posted that! They do like to cancel smart shows.......Arrested Development, The Unusuals, Lie To Me might be axed too, Veronica Mars, The Mentalist......the list goes on and on. I am surprised Frasier lasted as long as it did!

[FuriousPixel]

hmm I like the american one better also the accent is so different.. haha but thats just because I live in Canada and not used to it.

[clarkeybobs87]

41 people are not interested, they're making shitloads out of computers

DWIGHT SCHRUTE!!!

Those cats were as fast as lightening!

[buyerofsorts]

@TheAwokenMind He asked? So of course its you're lot in life to answer right? Stop being a spoiler. This show is too good. Ok, I'm done...

[buyerofsorts]

@TheAwokenMind Yo, its not sad that you know this because this series is the best in T.V. history as far as I and many others are concerened. But do you really think you should tell people the ending? Shouldn't they have the chance to watch such a great series and really get into it? Just saying....

[loskrachosde]

nice guy :-)

[truckcompany]

I hope I don't turn out like this guy! :(

[Raso8k]

@TheAwokenMind what does that mean? i dont get it

[PocusUK]

Sanch should of karate chopped Tim for all those questions

[Takaouto]

Martin's faces in the background when Matthew is talking to Mackenzie are so precious. :) <3 Tim

[TheSparkle7]

is that him out of that weird programme few years ago garth sumthing dark place anyone know wot im on about?

[sean9234]

@TheSparkle7 Garth Merenghi's Dark Place? Yeah, I remember it, Channel 4 have put it on YouTube

[MJMedin]

This sort of behaviour would probably be recognised today as symptomatic of aspergers. Irritating, but understandable.

[GeordieLord]

litterbugs

[DarkSk1es]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious I've seen both versions of the office and I think they're both very good in their own way. The British version can get away with a lot more than the US version because it doesn't have to contend with so much censorship.

[PurplePunisher69]

@kilox10001 there's a huge fanbase for British comedy in the States . Some you may like, some you may not . Same with yours. My Name Is Earl is great, whereas The Big Bang Theory is not. Most Americans do like a bit of Blackadder, because it is witty & insanely stupid at the same time . search for "Dont kick the kitty", as Blackadder boots the cat across the kitchen, before explaining life's pecking order to brainless Baldrick. There were 4 seasons of Blackadder. Enjoy !

[PurplePunisher69]

@kilox10001 - oh no, he's said our M.P. films suck - what shall we do ?

[NickMaggi1990]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious

american office doesnt have a laughter track? i dont think you've ever seen it... its a very clever show.. but you can keep slobbering down on the british sense of humor (i like both)... you can get the fuck out of the USA with your "dismal" attempt to be a critic

[Phelsuma04]

The Office is a British show created by British writers. It is so universally hilarious that they managed to market a version for many other countries including the United States (this is the version I cannot stand). America is responsible for some great comedy (Arrested Development and early Simpsons) England is responsible for some great comedy (The Office, Fawlty Towers). By the way, is that Garth Marenghi?

[NickMaggi1990]

@Phelsuma04

ever watch Seinfeld?? didnt think so throw in a little everybody loves raymond if you're feeling up for it... Arrested Development? where's your sense of taste

[Phelsuma04]

@NickMaggi1990 Of course I've seen Seinfeld- Great show. Arrested Development is the funniest television show ever!

[OutLookification]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious So, you've probably been told this, but just to be sure, you should know Ricky Gervais is an executive producer and co-writer of the US version of The Office, so to call the US version a "dismal attempt...predictable [and] unintelligent" is kind of insulting to Gervais' comedic talent...

Plus, the US version is hilarious, just as the UK version is. Just in different ways.

[NickMaggi1990]

@OutLookification

good post.... too many critics calling the american office a "dismal" show... both shows are hilarious.. Steve Carrell has talent

[OutLookification]

@NickMaggi1990 I'm glad someone agrees! And thank you for pointing out that the American Office doesn't have a laughter track. Steve Carrell's is amazingly talented, just as Gervais is.

[pkbstanding]

Haha i love your guys' generalization. " all Americans are fat, all Brits have gross teeth". Well all you guys arguing are stupid! ;)

[bmshon]

Best 5 minutes of any soap - ever! brilliant acting and comic timing by all!

[phaidan12]

[videotapesmakemusic]

[epiq]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious I think they are both brilliant, in different ways

[scifi75]

I wonder if some IT guys come from the same mold.

[pologt175]

English humour is witty. American humour is obvious. I guess it's been designed for simple minds.

[NickMaggi1990]

@pologt175

you're an idiot..

[gutbucket16]

You yanks can't get enough of Ricky Gervais. You even got him to write an episode of THAT cartoon of yours.

The only funny thing to leave the US is those ridiculous abs workout adverts and Bill Hicks.

At least he could take the piss out of us intelligently.

[gutbucket16]

Hey yankieblackcuntbra

We'll fix our teeth when you stop supersizing your ever-expanding waistlines, and when you dumb-fucks finally understand sarcasm :)) Your MTV culture is AIDS to the intelligent world that has eluded, "like", "oh my god", "like" your ruination of the ENGLISH language.

[tobyruncorn2]

thank you Scrumdidi

[AnsemsApprentice]

Litter bugs. . .

[BlackCobra08]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious Wow you are retarded, first off british humor is DRY and BORING. this show sucks compaired to the American version with Steve Carell. Fuck the brits they tried to fuck us all over 300 years ago, don't belive me watch a little movie called the patriot.

[Pruneau]

@BlackCobra08 Thats just a matter of culture mate. I've tried to look at the US office on several occasions, but can only manage about 10 minutes. It's quite funny, but the humor is really one layered, and it's so in your face. The UK version, on the other hand, is much more subtle, characters are way deeper and real, and I can watch it over and over, plus it has a real and very good ending.

[Aviva2121]

@BlackCobra08: Firstly, 'The Patriot' is not historical, it's mainly fictitious, like most of Mel Gibson's historical films. Secondly, the internet itself is a British invention, so if you hate the British so much, don't be a hypocrite - please boycott it. Please also stop attempting to speak our language, which you bastardise with your brainless 'You suck!' comments. You have proven the point that British comedy is too subtle for American tastes. Go and watch some kid's cartoons instead.

[BlackCobra08]

@Aviva2121 LMAO! The internet was anything but an internet invention you dipship just google who invented the internet and you will see every single orginization listed was AMERICAN! You are one dumbfuck brit mate. also the events that transpired in both the movie braveheart and the patriot really did happen and both times it was the asshole british that were the antangonist. William wallice really did exsist and was killed by u assholes. Why dont you go fix your rotting british teeth or somthin

[Aviva2121]

@BlackCobra08: The world wide web was invented in 1989 by British computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee. And you didn't comprehend what I said about Mel Gibson's film 'The Patriot', that it's based on a fiction of historical events. As for 'Braveheart', the English and the Scottish are BOTH British, so what's your point? Indeed, what's the point in trying to explain basic facts to someone so dense they can barely read or write, and who spends their time watching comedy they hate.

[RaifukuMaru]

@BlackCobra08 You're a total idiot. Don't make an arse of yourself any more and shut up!

[PurplePunisher69]

@BlackCobra08 DRY & BORING = is better than the one-dimensional, shouty, arm-wavey humour that seems to be in a lot of American sitcoms. Not all of them though, as the US Office is great, but I think they should call it a day. The US Office was strangled by the network, as David Brent could say "I'd have to do you from behind, cos your breath smells of onions ", or calling a man's withered hand a "wanking claw". Michael Scott had his best lines on the cutting room floor. Cant upset the sponsors

[BluesOfTheFire]

IT Guy looks a bit like Nick Frost.

[nailloz]

haha he stung tim at the end !!! haha!

[RossG257]

This isn't very noticable at first, but you can tell a lot about Gareths character just by his movement when he says "Got a certificate". This is because he turns and points to the wall behind him to show evidence of his "award". The lame ass put a go karting certificate on the wall of his work! lmao.

[mikeymandem]

Haha! Tim's face at 1:45.

[iseedeadpplz]

Went round in the air and people were like hes definitly dead now, Landed it, pulled up and said what was you worried about?

[sprtn007]

I'm sure it's hilarious but I can't always understand with the accent.

[TheJackssuprise]

Correct, at lastttt. haha

[anotherjoshua]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious 

laugh track? are you sure you're watching the same show? btw, it's not a race. it's entertainment. grow up.

[soasdude]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious nine sense? also the US version of the Office does not have a laugh track. i'm not sure what you're talking about.

[degree7]

We all know THIS guy!

[bacilo69]

what a stupid discussion... @cwhredsox just because the trailer you live in happens to be parked on US soil, doesn't mean that a version of the Office played by US actors should be better... who is "we" btw, you took no part in the making of the series. there are probably people from china more involved in the making of it than you.

just please, stop being irrational nationalist! be proud of your own accomplishments and appreciate others' for what they are, no where they come from.

peace out!

[fossilvivo]

@bacilo69 you're  being far too racional for youtube "debate"

[PaintedGangster]

tim got put in his place at the end. so funny.

[mognite]

what did he say at the end?

[sleinad]

@mognite Which part? Where he says: "What? Gone of Dawn have you?"

Dawn is the receptionship who he is having a will they/won't they relationship

[mognite]

@sleinad oh ok thanks

[cwhredsox]

uk version is ok but the us version is better, and theres alot more seasons

[21centurynostradamus]

@cwhredsox quality over quanity .

Either way british people are always going to prefer the british version and americans are always going to prefer the american version. But i have never heard a brit say he prefer's the american version however i have heard many americans say they prefer the british version. plus without the british version there would be no american version so we win. lol

[cwhredsox]

@21centurynostradamus quality over quanity? ummmm look up all the nominations and awards the us version has going in2 there 7th season, and yes im thankful for the uk version because we wouldnt have the better us version. uk office- 2 ok seasons, us version starting on there 7th great season we win.

[Chimera1591]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious, Way to sellout your country, hippie! You don't have to hate one to like the other. I like both, I prefer the American version, but I don't hate or dislike the English version.

[goingwithzed]

Tim in the background is priceless. 

[KatieBarber]

where's the bit where they're talking about Bruce Lee channeling all his energy into his hand and killing someone by just touching them (or something like that) and Gareth says he'd never try it out on a person - just a street cat or something LOL love that!

[airey01]

Enter the dragon was just on channel 5 and me and my house mate were quoting this scene every 5 mins. Correct........at last!!!!

[ResidentBiznitch]

Martin Freeman is the king of expressions.

[Captainplanet1987]

This is but a slice of the pie that is the brilliance of Matthew Holness.

To admire his true brilliance go and watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

It will make you hurl bits of sick . . .

[N10ess]

ugh the brit accent really messes this show up. I tried watching UK Office, got through two seasons and stopped. Really cannot find any humor in it whatsoever.

[Scogzy]

@N10ess

you are aware of the fact that there are only two seasons of the uk office. aren't you? also, are by the like 'the british accent really messus this show up', are you implying that this is based of the US one?

[arronboss123]

@Scogzy there was only 2 season and the xmas specials because ricky gervais and steve merchant only ever wanted 2 seasons , due to the fact they didnt want to ruin it , and the fact it wasnt about dragging this out season after season just to make money, unlike the sad copy that america has , the original uk office wipes the floor with the U.S copy.

[element1988]

@N10ess so you watched every ep then? not bad considering you didn't like it lol

[cupcakechagrin]

the computer geek steals the show!

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

haha I hate people like him, their so annoying

[icecool1065]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs I agree. He is such a wanker and totally not funny. If I was that technician I would keylog his board. Twat. Whats his name, tim? Bastard.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

@icecool1065 lol Umm not Tim that IT twat, his the idiot.

[icecool1065]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs Wrong. Tim's the cunt. He has an essance about him that asphyxiates everyone around him in his sarcastic, boring smugness.

I also find it humorously ironic tat you attempt to insult his intelligence then spell they're as 'their' then spell he is as 'his'. YOU'RE THE IDIOT.

It's probably because you're from the 'hood'. Coon.

[baddudevsninja]

@icecool1065 You sound like the IT technician, he was a twat.

[icecool1065]

@baddudevsninja Sound? Youtube comments don't have sound, retard. Its called 'reading'. You blatantly didn't go to school so it might be new to you, but we're quite fond of it here.

And no, I'm not a Technician.

[baddudevsninja]

@icecool1065 Okay, sorry about that, I imagine you sound like the IT technician and you are a twat. Is that better?

[icecool1065]

@baddudevsninja So now you're hearing voices in your head. You might want to get that checked out you inbred.

I reject your apology.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

@icecool1065 So U hate Tim and you're a racist. LOL What a sad prick you are. You and the IT twat would get on well. I bet you're a fat ugly nerd like him

[icecool1065]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs Perhaps we would get on. Perhaps.

Fat and ugly? Hahaha, you have no idea who you are talking to.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

@icecool1065 I bet U are. 

[icecool1065]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs You bet wrong. I win. A winrar is me!

[gmactera]

@icecool1065 lol you sound like a douche with a superiority complex

[icecool1065]

@ElvisLivesUpstairs moo.

[fuckcarrots82]

As if they let the public do speedway lol

[beatarmy22]

1,242 people like this? seriously monty python was hilarious after that british comedy has hit the shits, how is this funny?

[LittleMissTeatime]

Oh my god...is that Garth Marenghi? Visionary, dream weaver, plus actor indeed.

[noisyrag]

The American Garreth is more like Simon.

[mikexxxp86]

love tims face throughout! 

[tbam73]

Agreed B, I personally call it The Office but many Americans have no idea this even exists so if you say The Office they will just think you mean the US version.

[beepandbop]

I'm American (as if it matters) and this is fuckin hilarious

[Vorsatz13]

Geeks are global. Exactly these guys are here in Germany. And I have to work with them. Fok.

[300Spartans1]

this is not funny

[GBJ83]

@300Spartans1 to me its hilarious, maybe because you've never worked in an office

[dangerousgeometry]

its garth marenghi!

[03bsad]

@dangerousgeometry really?



[bubblet24]

One question I am not having a go at anyone just asking if anyone knows why this is called The UK Office when this came first, shouldn't this be called The Office and the US one be called The US Office

[wassupjg]

Oi no professionals

[blacklakelight]

@Scrumdidilyumpchious Agreed, we aren't ALL a bunch of Teabaggers. Those that are just have a way of getting on TV.

[Gannondalf]

fuck it... im going to rewatch every episode.

[8ballsix27]

I guess shit isnt a bad word in the UK

[DoctorDodge]

@8ballsix27 trust me, it is, but we have a rule regarding telly in the UK: doesn't matter if it's violence, sex, or swearing, if it's after 9pm, anything goes!

[darksks18]

i'd punch him in the face

[smldfw]

Gareth was great in Dark Place

[Wildberg09]

Isn't this guy in Cemetery Junction, playing in the band?

[krone900]

Greetings traveller.

[B1Gcountry34]

It must be because im American but i just cant get into this show UK style. I fuckin love the US Office....Best show on Tv but the UK version is way over my head

I do find it odd that JIm (us) and Tim(uk) look very similar and have the same kind of face expressions

[deancorleone]

@B1Gcountry34 many people would complain about this comment, but I could see why you would find it harder to get into this version. Personally The Office UK is the funniest show I have ever seen, but it is quintessentially English. The US versoin was deffinatly made for a broader audience. While the office UK can be watched by anyone around the globe, it is a dramatzation of a typical dull, mundane UK office. If you havent, try watching it form the beginning on DVD - available at any store :D

[tessaroo4219]

@deancorleone I appreciate this comment. You're giving an opinion, but not being a gerk. I'm planning to go rent it after seeing a few clips.

[elleoneiram]

@B1Gcountry34 It might depend on what you saw first or what you prefer. I agree with deancorleone regarding the U.S. version working for a broader audience. When I flip through the channels and land on it, I definitely laugh. With the UK version, though... while watching the entire show I laughed until my stomach hurt and cringed until I had to cover my eyes. It's much darker (from what I can tell, but I've hardly watched the American version). Personal taste. (Plus I saw it first.)

[LaurenWinchester27]

Haha, he is EXACTLY like our old IT guy, he was such a twat. I love Tim's faces in the background. XD

[dgilmartin]

One of the Best sketches in the UK office.. So relatable to real life.. Thanks for uploading this clip! "Oi, no professionals"

[natilly7]

Still makes me laugh.....

Tim: "Litterbugs"

[brynjones11]

"how long did it take last ti"...."its done"

[laiosto]

The geek is obviously a very common annoying twat.Everybody knows a dickhead just like him.I'm sure there is even a psychological title for his condition eg Obsessive Compulsive Fuckwit Disorder,

[jspesh]

garth marengi is awesome

[MaratSafinVideos]

lmao look at tim's face in the background.

[googleisshittoss]

My Name is Simon, and I work in IT...But, thankfully, I am nothing like this twat!!...lol

(I hope)

[Rosvolainen]

@googleisshittoss If you don't think you could become a F1 driver any day of the week if you just wanted to and if you believe that Bruce Lee is dead then you probably don't have to worry. ;)

[googleisshittoss]

@Rosvolainen hahaha...I'm safe then :)

[unclemort1960]

[xILambyIx]

oh shit, he owns Tim at the end!

[Soidisons]

This is very funny but ofc i am a European and i can see the humor in it. Furthermore i'd like to say that i would hit the first guy that said "it is not your computer" over the head with my company laptop.

[RastaJuggalo87]

@fensteroo7 I'm a yank and I like the British Office over the American Office. Don't always assume.

[robbiefowlersnose]

@RastaJuggalo87 I, too, am a Yank who prefers David Brent to Michael Scott. My family and friends love the American version but I can barely watch it. It's ok, but nothing compared to the English version. Give me David and Gareth over Michael and Dwight any day.

[8ballsix27]

@fensteroo7 nice use of a derogatory term. still mad about the American Revolution, are you?

[videogamenostalgia]

@8ballsix27 Oh please, only Americans still go on about the bloody civil war...

[8ballsix27]

@videogamenostalgia *Revolution

@fensteroo7 True, thems damn yanks hates thems morons.....huk, huk, huk.

[hotpink910]

@fensteroo7 Hey I'm a "yank" but I actually like this! lol I think that everyone knows someone or has met someone like the IT guy.

[JoeB328]

@fensteroo7 Come on now.. some of us yanks (very very few) appreciate great comedy and television.

[dipton95]

the IT geek was possibly the funniest and most annoying man ever

[funkey37]

I used to the think the American Office was shit but after watching it a bit more it does have its funny moments. Not as genius as the UK but still a good show. Enough with the English crooked teeth and American fat fuckers shooting up the place every country has assholes.

[HowDoTube]

The funnier part of it is how Gareth buys into it all!

[lukeycc67]
