Love the opening when Ricky says "trust Camilia" and then suddenly switches from his smiley face to a serious and concerned "Its not racist is it?" always remembering that he is being filmed! lol
lol ive got a joke for you, right so its the royal family, and they are having christmas dinner right?... so then they decide to play 20 questions, so one of them thinks.. of a black mans cock, right?
so one of them says "does it go in the bread bin" so she says yes, then one of them says "can i put it in my mouth" then she says yes, then the queen says is it a black mans cock XD bet you never heard that one before
1:40 "Have you all met the, uh, this little lady, th- this lady?"... Hahaha, holy shit... That part gets me every time. WTF?? HAHAHA. This is probably the best show I've ever seen. The US version can't even touch this, and this is coming from an American.
Tony writes about liberals being shocked by words, thats quite entertaining considering that the word liberal in itself means stands for tolerance and free thought. I think he meant the conservatives would be offended, since to be conservative is to be less forward looking and a bit more ready to judge the offensive actions of others. :)

What a dumbarse, well im white mate and i bet you that i have got a much bigger dick than you blackie, your so dumb that you dont even know how to spell jealous.
Actually, it's not just "America has to have it's own version". I watched a documentary about the show. There are many countries that have their own version. In the French version, Tim and Dawn are always sneaking away to make out. So there.
Comparing the Office UK to the Office US is pointless, entirely different styles. However I will say the UK Office is alot more original then the US one. Which is why prefer I prefer the UK one for its originality. Comparing it to Curb Your Enthusiasm would be better. Both are completely original and genius and subtle, but then sometimes completely over the top. I have The Office slightly ahead of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I like the bit later when hes talking about Scooby Doo being stoned, then the camera cuts back to Jennifer and David and he says ' I was not advocating the use of drugs' lol
i dont even think you can compare the uk office with the us one. the uk one is far more intelligent humour whereas the american version is a much more dumbed down easier on the eye version for the americans.
And this isn't dumbed down??? Oh yes, this is very intelligent humor (oh sorry, humour) forgot the "u" where it doesn't belong LOL! They are BOTH funny. Stop being an anti-American asshole and laugh at a good joke, whether it comes from east or west of the Atlantic.
well its our language so ye put the u in. and im not anti american just cant be arsed hearing americans slag off english office saying its not funny when it is much better than your version. its no coincidence how hundreds of countries worldwide watch office uk while america has to has its own version
I think the American "All in the Family" was an improvement on the British original "Till Death Us Do Part". It had more subtlety, humanity, better fleshed out characterisations, and was altogether better written and more likeable than the British version. Give me Archie Bunker over Alf Garnett any day.
im from canada and my mums friend in the uk sent us some episodes to watch, i spent all day watching them over and over again!!! i think ricky gervais is an absolute genious along wiht the rest of the cast, the american office is funny aswell, but i give props to the uk version for being the first and most original
The reason I prefer the UK version is because it's like meeting a woman who you dont notice so much but the more you get to know, the more beautiful she becomes. The US version is like Pamela Anderson flashing her plastic tits in your face.
I think that generally speaking Yank TV has become more in your face to grab your attention and stop you switching over to channel 400237.
I like the US version better. Probably because I saw it first. UK version is hilarious as well though. All toghether The Office is just my favorite show. This clip is FUNNY!!!
or maybe other people have different sense of humor then you. why do all the UK fans get all offended when people prefer the US version of the office? and then resort to saying that we all must be too stupid to understand the british humor. long story short, oppinions are not facts, and its rather ignorant of a person to say that A) is funnier then B) because A) is more subtle. :)
I wholeheartedly agree with you and am surprised and annoyed in equal measure at the amount of people always jumping at the defence of The Office UK, whenever anyone prefers the US one. Each to their own I say, who cares if people's opinions differ on things? It's as if they have some sort of point to prove or something.
I'm also getting fed up of people always comparing the two series. They are both hilarious to me. Although I would say that the creators intended it to look documentary style and I think the UK version has achieved this. I find that the US version looks more like what it is-actors potraying office workers. As for the US lacking hmour and irony-what about the Simpsons and Family Guy, both brilliant series with a lot of subtle humour.
Probably the most hateful and insulting moment in the show. But then, that's David Brent. He's like a kid trying to hit a whiffle ball in the middle of a hurricane only to have the ball hit him back in the face. The British version of this show is excellent. Can't say the same about the American version, though.
well simpsons used to be really good though its gone down hill so fast as did south park i do enjoy futurama and family guy. but as for sitcoms americans fail on that front.
uk version is so much better than the american version. they dont know how to copy humour just look at fawlty towers, red dwarf, little britain all copied by americans and made crap - not funny at all. (as a side they even re made the italian job but forgot the key component to set the film in italy - complete muppets)
definately agree with all those other shows you mention, however the yanks have done a great job with the office.
its a pretty common sentiment that the uk version is the greatest show of all time, but the american version is great also. Besides from the first epesoide and its basic setting, the humour itself isn't really copied.
i watched one episode of the american version didnt laugh once. its not great and its not funny. lets hope they leave black adder and only fools and horses alone!
all i'd say is that you should give it another (longer) try with an open mind. I don't say this to disagree with you, 'cause you've got pretty good taste with the other shows you mention, but because i wouldn't want you to miss out on something that lots of people love and something which you might actually like. don't just dismiss it cause its american. its not like other remakes - seriously.
Americans have never been able to have the joke on themselves? What the hell are you talking about? Have you ever even watched a full episode of the US office?
The American one isnt bad. The reason why its slightly inferior to the UK version is that Americans have never been able to have the joke on themselves. In the UK version Brent is made out to be pathetic and foolish sometimes whereas the US version relies heavily on situational comedy and thats its downfall. The genius of "the office" was you didnt know if it was real or not as it was sooo lifelike. The US version you knew it was a sitcom regardless of its UK success.
Although I agree with the reasons why the UK version is better. I don't agree 1% of 1% about your feelings of Americans not being able to handle a joke about themselves.
There's this new show called The Simpsons. It has something like a billion episodes. Basically the whole point of this show is to make fun of the stereotype of the every day American and American culture. A couple Americans even like it.
Im an American and saw the UK version first and thought it was a shame to Americanize it, but it has proven me wrong, but the reason i like watching the UK version is we would never be able to get away with this in America and thats a shame cause its sooooo funny
I'm sooooo glad that after 37 years I'm likely to be leaving Office environments.
Generally they were great but in our Multi-Cultural 2008 English Society you would not believe the Guys who WILL play the "race card"....Jamaican g/f of mine who lived with me thrived on it,for example.
Talking about a black man's you know what at the workplace is inappropriate, but I don't know why it would be offensive. Of all the stereotypes in the world, the most flattering are "All Asians are smart" and "All black men have large penises." It's like the Howard Stern movie where he's in gym class at an all black high school and he's like, "What I wouldn't give to have people think that about me (i.e. have a large penis)."
according to Maggie Stuart (an American essayist) she said all stereotypes are founded in fact, all french dont smell, eat garlic bread, and wear berets. although some do...
still very good moment IMHO the best comedy made by the beeb since Monty Pythons flying circus. though Garth Marengi's darkplace is also hilarious (and stars Steven Merchant, just a little link there)
well as i said, some french do wear berets, eat garlic and ride bikes (not at the same time), although some really do, as i saw in France. but id read the essay by Stuart on stereotypes she explains it better than me
idl21 brent is not a bigoted fool, teh whole point is he doesn't mean any offence by the joke he just goes to ridiculous lenghs to try and get a laugh, he is just a fool.
So simple, so brilliant. Brent is clearly oblivious to the fact that - in 2002 - that joke IS considered racist by the PC brigade. Discussing a black man's cock at work? Try that at work today and you'll be fucking nicked by the end of the day.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A long black penis does have racist origins however, and that is the entire point of the sketch. It originated from black men being percieved as blindly after white women. Thus why Brent is oblivious to why the joke is not a 'complement', as he is a bigoted fool.
The American version is a take on The U.K. Version which is the original one. They both are hilarious. It all has to do with how you approach it. If this offends you enough to start bad mouthing the english, in this case, fuck off and get a life.
yeah i agree. its interesting though. what do the americans really think of the english version? because english and american humour is SO differnt. its funny though that there are people all over the world who are like david brent! what an idiot!
you are a FUCKING IDIOTTTTTTTTT, the office is a fuckin BRITISH show that americans COPIED!! are u fuckin retarded or something? in FACT there is a shitload of english shows that americans have redone besides this one. ignorant cunt
You really got your point accross with the extra T's in 'idiot'. Tell me - what's was it like being held back in grade school? I take it you think George W is an idiot, but then what would that make you based on your tirade here? Surely inferior to the twat that is George Bush, right? lol
what the fuck r u talking about, in NO way was ur comeback effective or even made sense. i mean if ur gonna defend something try comming up with something more to the point. i mean wat the hell does grade school or george bush have to do with anything wtf.

sick the way these english homos rip off a decent christian american product then fill it full of dirty sex toilet jokes and racist filth. decent christians shold report this as a crim against God.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
only the american comedy is wholesome fare for family viewing. the english garbage is dogdirt humor from a nation of cowards and liers. Churchill was a drunken bum who had sex with boys. FDR was a god and hated the english because they cant be trusted. English people are worse than the murdering germans or slimy chinese commies.
yes only the american one is wholesome fare for the family. Very true. This is the reason why it is shit and the attitude is the reason why America is a moronic uneducated country full of plastic people - venal materialistic and uneducated, macho twats.
I wouldn't say we're ALL moronic and uneducated, let's be careful lol... I know what you mean though. But it'd be equally wrong of me to think that all English men are gay because of their accents. Just b/c matalia69's account is pathetic doesn't mean I or 300 other million people are as well! ... what's with everyone's infatuation with '69'? I always call people on it and ask them why they like it lol.. they never know what or how to explain it.... or 420 for that matter. Arrrghhh lol
Here are the comments in this matalia69 dickheads account page. And this is verbatim. look at how he spells texas chainsaw massacre in particular. And his hobbies are monster trucks and watching wrestling. OK here is the extract from the hick shitkicker:
"Interests and Hobbies: monster truck rallies,food eating competitions (esp hotdogs and pasta),WWF Wrestling,
Movies and Shows: any Jack Black,die hard,steven seagull,star trek,texas chanesaw masaccre,hotel,psycho."
I can't get enough of the UK office. But even funnier than any episode is that every youtube office clip has "Wah, Yanks are dumb" "Wah, Brits are dumb". I'm sorry but can't you just like the show and get over yourself and the spot of dirt that you were born on?

Im an American and saw the UK version first and thought it was a shame to Americanize it, but it has proven me wrong, but the reason i like watching the UK version is we would never be able to get away with this in America and thats a shame cause its sooooo funny

Every time I've seen this show, the jokes always make me squirm. That's a weird kind of humor this show has. Squirm humor.

I'm sooooo glad that after 37 years I'm likely to be leaving Office environments.
Generally they were great but in our Multi-Cultural 2008 English Society you would not believe the Guys who WILL play the "race card"....Jamaican g/f of mine who lived with me thrived on it,for example.

Talking about a black man's you know what at the workplace is inappropriate, but I don't know why it would be offensive. Of all the stereotypes in the world, the most flattering are "All Asians are smart" and "All black men have large penises." It's like the Howard Stern movie where he's in gym class at an all black high school and he's like, "What I wouldn't give to have people think that about me (i.e. have a large penis)."

according to Maggie Stuart (an American essayist) she said all stereotypes are founded in fact, all french dont smell, eat garlic bread, and wear berets. although some do...
still very good moment IMHO the best comedy made by the beeb since Monty Pythons flying circus. though Garth Marengi's darkplace is also hilarious (and stars Steven Merchant, just a little link there)

all stereotypes have a hint of truth to them. They are not the truth.

well as i said, some french do wear berets, eat garlic and ride bikes (not at the same time), although some really do, as i saw in France. but id read the essay by Stuart on stereotypes she explains it better than me

idl21 brent is not a bigoted fool, teh whole point is he doesn't mean any offence by the joke he just goes to ridiculous lenghs to try and get a laugh, he is just a fool.

Some women prefer black men. It doesn't mean it's because they think black men have bigger cocks. It wasn't specified in the joke. It's not racist.

So simple, so brilliant. Brent is clearly oblivious to the fact that - in 2002 - that joke IS considered racist by the PC brigade. Discussing a black man's cock at work? Try that at work today and you'll be fucking nicked by the end of the day.

A long black penis does have racist origins however, and that is the entire point of the sketch. It originated from black men being percieved as blindly after white women. Thus why Brent is oblivious to why the joke is not a 'complement', as he is a bigoted fool.

The American version is a take on The U.K. Version which is the original one. They both are hilarious. It all has to do with how you approach it. If this offends you enough to start bad mouthing the english, in this case, fuck off and get a life.
Oaid911 4 years ago 2
yeah i agree. its interesting though. what do the americans really think of the english version? because english and american humour is SO differnt. its funny though that there are people all over the world who are like david brent! what an idiot!

You really got your point accross with the extra T's in 'idiot'. Tell me - what's was it like being held back in grade school? I take it you think George W is an idiot, but then what would that make you based on your tirade here? Surely inferior to the twat that is George Bush, right? lol

what the fuck r u talking about, in NO way was ur comeback effective or even made sense. i mean if ur gonna defend something try comming up with something more to the point. i mean wat the hell does grade school or george bush have to do with anything wtf.

only the american comedy is wholesome fare for family viewing. the english garbage is dogdirt humor from a nation of cowards and liers. Churchill was a drunken bum who had sex with boys. FDR was a god and hated the english because they cant be trusted. English people are worse than the murdering germans or slimy chinese commies.

yes only the american one is wholesome fare for the family. Very true. This is the reason why it is shit and the attitude is the reason why America is a moronic uneducated country full of plastic people - venal materialistic and uneducated, macho twats.

I wouldn't say we're ALL moronic and uneducated, let's be careful lol... I know what you mean though. But it'd be equally wrong of me to think that all English men are gay because of their accents. Just b/c matalia69's account is pathetic doesn't mean I or 300 other million people are as well! ... what's with everyone's infatuation with '69'? I always call people on it and ask them why they like it lol.. they never know what or how to explain it.... or 420 for that matter. Arrrghhh lol

I can't get enough of the UK office. But even funnier than any episode is that every youtube office clip has "Wah, Yanks are dumb" "Wah, Brits are dumb". I'm sorry but can't you just like the show and get over yourself and the spot of dirt that you were born on?
