Stop arguing over which version is better, it's stupid. They're both very different shows - The Office (US) is a completely different type of show; the only thing the same is the title and the whole 'mockumentry' style of things. Ricky jokes about the American one and stuff but he's the one who makes it and he's even said himself he's proud of the way that the US version turned out. They're two completely different shows it's like comparing The Office to Emmerdale. It's ridiculous.
yo! if you guys like The Office I just started a new web series called "Just Hangin" inspired by The Office. A camera crew follows around a group of teenage friends in a small town to see how they interact and what activities they engage in. Watch the BRAND NEW 1st episode RIGHT HERE! :) /watch?v=y3sj1B8g5VE&list=UUMBpxBeBePKaK69IuDNy3mw
Absolutely ridiculous top comments. Pathetic, generalised opinions not worth a donkey's doo doo. Who the fuck is thumbing those up? Both versions of the Office are landmarks achievements.
@mdowning i can't really take you seriously seeing as you are missing the 'u' in humour but for the sake of the other, more tolerant american people who i do not want to insult, i'll ignore it.
Yes obviously i can see the 'fag' 'cigeratte' joke, but as you have just proved there you're version of american comedy is too 'obvious'. Was a tempted to make fun of the fact that you call fucking bum bags 'fanny packs'? Yes. But i respect americans to much for that.
The fact that you call a cultures humor stupid, when humor is obviously subjective, ehos how much of a dumbass you are.
Cultural ignorance and arrogance emits from your comment, people like you are the reason why im ashamed to be American. As for the show, both versions are great but different.
Hi guys, sorry for the dickish advertisement. Interested in a new mockumentary style comedy with good old fashioned British humour? Then give our channel a goosey and hopefully you'll like it. The teaser is up and an episode will be released tomorrow (1st December). Cheers if you read this and gave it a look!
midgets are capable of shaving facial hair, the course beard of a dwarf hinders any practical means of shaving. Furthermore midgets lack the +3 hammer ability and frost resistance that dwarfs have.
@irealllllllllydontca Dude, I'm Canadian and I understand both British and American humour... it's not like a different language or anything ;) I know that the British think that American humour is too slapstick or too one-dimensional, but let's not hate. Each version of the Office is very funny in its own way. You've gotta admit that much.
ricky gervais got the idea for the office from "operation good guys" very like the office but based in a police station.... ricky wrote 2 series and 2 specials untill he said he had wrote enough... so then the americans bought it off him. And they have completely changed it. in my opinion the uk one was the best. Simply because it was clever, and it was the sort of humour i like... british humour and american humour is different. and we will always have this argument. simply because of ignorance
Steve also helps Write episodes from the american office... And steve and ricky are like ying and yang. so you do know a lot of american office ideas are founded by the uk office writers...
people! for the love of mike stop it!! seriously! if ur from the us, great then watch us version, if not, uk version shut up and leave this kind of pointless arguing to your facebook walls
@KCArmstrongXIIV The UK version wasn't cancelled, a quick look on Wikipedia would tell you that. You really don't help the American stereotype do you?
@KCArmstrongXIIV I'm sorry, you're obviously an amazingly successful producer who knows everything.
You are wrong though in this case, The Office wasn't cancelled; you see, unlike greedy American producers Gervais and Merchant wanted to stop The Office while it was in its prime and have it remembered as an all time classic - whereas the Americans are quite happy to squeeze every last penny out of it until it is finally cancelled, The Office and Two And a Half Men prove testament to that.
shut the fuck up ... seriously guys you are acting like idiots arguing over 2 completly different showss althogh with te same concept in its own right they are different and don't forget that there are german and french versions of the show
@SadisticReviews You do realize the English took over America? Stupid fuckin' yank,. Trying to individualize yourself by using other nation's and country's traditions and systems. Silly Yanks.
@merlylvsm umm that makes you the stupid one. You're jealous because the American version is better, so you're an idiot for not giving yourself credit. Are you mad because the smart ones left your country and all the dumb ones stayed back? At least you're where you belong :)
If anyone from the UK had the sense to watch a substantial amount of the US Office before commenting on it they would realise that it's actually equally, if not more funny for the average viewer. No one can really doubt the abilities of Steve Carrell. I'm English and I'm bored of people moaning on about how our comedies are great because they are subtle... It's simple really, comedies are good if you laugh, and I see too many people slating the US Office without even watching it.
Laughing out of place during a take with another actor/other actors seems like one of the funniest and enjoyable things ever, but laughing out of place on your own during a take the most embarrassing.

@mikepannellgraber wow just wow :|..as i can see you said "mom" your oviously american...and by cracking "mom" jokes and haveing comebacks like that you about 10 maybe 11 years old....please im not a child im not going to argue over youtube,goodbye you immature specimine
Can people shut up about whether the US or UK is better... who cares? They are completely different shows. The Office (UK) was 14 episodes, hilarious and awkward to watch for many and the US version is over 150 episodes and is (I believe) also funny but admittedly easier to digest.
@Trussy1000 They didn't write both shows actually... big difference between creating/producing a show and writing it. I think Ricky and Merchant have only written or co-written 2 or 3 episodes of the US version. Anyway, nothing you said refutes what I said... they still remain completely different shows with different casts, writers, storylines, humour type, etc. The only thing they really have in common is that they are set in an office, and the main character is the whacky boss.
@8nikolas8 Well that's not entirely true, the main core of characters have the same personalities, although the US Office allows more evolution of characters because it has run for more episodes. The US Office started off as a carbon copy of the UK series, which is why the first series of the US version isn't so great, it really becomes successful when it advances past what happened in the UK series, and characters are free to evolve.
The pair actually co-wrote many many episodes, not just 2/3.
@boltonmassiv The main core of characters have the same personalities? I strongly disagree. Maybe Jim and Pam are similar to their UK 'equivalents' in a few respects, but still, on the whole, they greatly differ. Also, you acknowledge my view that they are completely different shows by saying it "advances past what happened in the UK series". And no, they only co-wrote 2 episodes... have a look for yourself. I don't know how you suppose they would have time to co-write 'many many episodes'
@RDprodx Precisely, and a great quote. It's equally funny that viewers are mad because they somehow think that, in making The Office US, Ricky's genius is being compromised when he is, in fact, one of the main men behind the US version. Indeed, there's no one to blame for making the show you hate but those who made the show you love.
@Nconte1944 it was ment to have a depressing feel about it to be REAL like a real office job that is abit dull all you yanks have done is make a unrealistic show unlike the original ..american one is crap and your too far up your own arse u cant see the original office was made to be like that
@bensimps123 i dont like that feel of dull depressingness..and yes you idiot are show is fucking hilarious..unrealistic?did you seriously just say unrealistic?seriously..its a fucking tv show you cunt..what the hell does it matter..oviously noone can goof off and do the shit they do in either show..your so fucking dumb...and look how long your show lasted..like 14 episodes..are show is 150 episodes and has one so many awards..the millions of fans of are show dont need you butthurt british cunts.
@Nconte1944 You're a Yank, so obviously you don't appreciate or fully understand the subtlety of the original, so stick to watching the shitty American version. I'm suprised you're defending it anyway, you should be insulted that they had to dumb down a show for you to understand it.
@bennyboyjones I am American and I love the UK version, in fact I love many British comedy shows. But the American version is not "shitty" by any means, it is hilarious in its own right. The UK version has dynamite performances by its main characters and amazing writing (dialogue and situations) that make it awesome. The US version also has great main characters, but it makes up in its rather repetitive writing by its strong supporting characters. They are both good in different ways.
@bensimps123 It may have gotten the idea from this, but who cares? It was a good show and people wanted more so they made The Office (US). And it's not shit, lmao, guarantee you laugh at every episode but you're too caught up in the politics and being an asshole to admit it.
You know, all I wanted to do is enjoy this FUCKING VIDEO without some guy ruining it for me and no doubt for everyone else. Who gives a shit who made what first? Who gives a shit whether you think the American one is better? I don't even give a shit that you got your information wrong- just let me watch these videos in peace. "mcsocrates" is a ignorant bastard who has no fucking brain and who surfs YouTube so that he can leave nasty comments. Well I'm not interested any more so LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
I like both the US and UK versions for entirely different reasons. Sometimes the UK version is too dragging and negative for my tastes. It really depends on my mood. I think they got a few great actors in the US version, and so there are things about it that I prefer sometimes. But the US version became unrecognizable as a mockumentary, and it went on for too long because of greedy fuckers. I don't think one is better than the other, and I think it's equally stupid to argue over it.
@chrisam91 You goddam british prick you think you know but you don't. The brits STOLE the office from the USA. They stole it and everybody in england is like what a great show we invented.
@mcsocrates How wrong you fucking are. Research before you act like the racist, xenophobical arsehole that you most evidentally are. I like both of them equally but have you ever wondered why the Producers are Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant in the American Office? If you're going to make a point- make it correct otherwise there's no point. Personally, this argument is invalid- they're both amazing in my eyes.
@thefartydoctor Why are you being so rude? I'm only saying the original american version is better than the gay brit remake. I don't know why you're taking this so badly. It's not a reflection on you personally.
@mcsocrates I'm bringing it to your attention that you are wrong (even after me telling you once before) that the British version came before the American version. They are both equally as good but that's one fact that you got wrong. It's nothing major. I also didn't like the way you handled @chrisam91's comment tbh. I'm gonna drop it but the lesson is (and I've had to learn this on previous occassions) that you shouldn't comment on something when you don't know the full picture. :-)
@thefartydoctor Ok I'm gonna keep this real simple because you're not getting it. The brits stole the office. They copied it off the usa version which was better. why aren't you getting this? are you retarded you goddam racist limey fuck?
@mcsocrates Right, I'll simply prove it to you: "The Office is a mockumentary/situation comedy TV show that was first made in the UK and has now been re-made in many other countries." This comes from: the Wikipedia article about the Office; how about "The Office is a British television comedy that first aired in the UK on BBC Two on 9 July 2001 and came before the US show." from chacha.com. GOODNESS SAKE!!!
@mcsocrates You keep xenophobically abusing brits here about us "stealing a show" (like anything like that is our fault) when it actually originated here in Britain. My point is simply that you have the right to argue as much as you like but if I were you (which I'm glad I'm not) then I would get my facts straight first. My point is also that you're making an argument that you have misunderstood and tbh you've made yourself look a bit of a dick on YouTube. Those reading this are laughing at you.
@thefartydoctor if it suits your racist agenda then ok go ahead and spread your lies you racist brit asshole but it's you everyone's laughing at my fine friend. and the queen of england can blow me you limey fuck.
@8nikolas8 Well at first, I was kinda like "this guy's fucking stupid" and then I got it but I carried on the argument cause I had nothing better to do at the time haha.
@mcsocrates Dude, on the chance that you aren't just being an ignorant troll and you really are stupid enough to think what you are typing, The Office was originally a UK show, it was made there and the idea originated there. Also, you should seriously consider shutting the fuck up. I am American and it's pretty embarrassing how dumb you sound here. People have opinions and obviously it's a matter of opinion on which version is best. You are the kind of person that gives us Americans a bad name.
@LJayMusic18 o sorry i took it as u said the US version sucks my bad.....are u British cause if u are the British humor is better translated over there then here so my bad
@mcsocrates So the latter is correct then, you are genuinely as ignorant as you seem. The American version with Steve Carell is a well received adaption of the British version. In fact I believe Ricky Gervais (creator and start of the British Office) co directed the early series of the American Office.
@chrisberridge who the fuck is ricky gervais? all i'm saying is the original american version is better than the uk copy. you don't need to be so rude. it's not my fault you're retarded.
@mcsocrates Enjoy the trolling whilst you can. One day you're going to have to move out of your parents house and get a job to fund the internet you need to keep trolling people :P
Haha this guy, I mean wow your so fuckin cool bro. The punchline: "'whilst' I slash my fuckin' wrists". Your a comedy mastermind dog.
Oh sorry I forgot you cant detect sarcasm. What I'm basically trying to say is: "Your a fucking unfunny tool please slash your wrists I want you to fucking die".
@chrisberridge haha you know, that "mcsocrates" has no idea what he's talking about. i doubt he realises how much of a knob he looks. btw- i say whilst and i am not Victorian? haha
@mcsocrates It's quite amusing that that's the only intelligeable thing that you can say now that we've both proved you to be wrong. Basically: toys... erm... out of the pram... :D You just need to grow up. :-)
@thefartydoctor Just ignore the douche bag, he is obviously a troll and his profile says he's from the UK. He may just be trying to impersonate an American just to try and further hatred towards my country. Or he may just be an ignorant assbundle. Either way, you should just ignore him.
@mcsocrates I reckon that when this argument started to get heated, you went to Wikipedia to research which came first and realised you were wrong. What does a pathetic loser like you do? Does he eat his humble pie? Nope- he continues to argue with me and the rest of the world because he's delusional. Hope you enjoy the rest of your shit, lonely life because this argument is over.
@DirkSchooner no it's actually really good. the brits should have left it alone. the brits are like, "lets take something really good and make it gay".
@mcsocrates not really, we like the dryer British accent, and their facial expressions. You may watch your version, we will watch the UK version. No big deal, i don't even know why i'm answering on this discussion!? LOL! Unbelieveble what stupid discussions there are on YT...BUT, you do know that the UK version is the ORIGINAL, and the US version is an ADAPTATION!?!? LOL, YOU FAILED on this one seriously!!!!
@mcsocrates the superior american like burger king customers, like superior fat people in a wheel chair making a train, like trailer park superior!?!?! like that, right!?!?!
@periesicsd You sound just as ignorant and embarrassing as the other dumbass that you are talking about. You should both just wander to the back of the bus and go to sleep.
the american version had better lines, esp. by dwight schrute, but the uk version was the template and ricky gervais is a world class comic. the us version also ran for 6 seasons longer.
its funny to see him crack up on scenes like this.
@tx502 erm r u retarded, hu d hell is ricky gervais? this guy is called david brent, hu cares about this shit copy of the proper office with steve carell.
@lx502 You're obviously trolling but fuck it, I'm biting. Steve Carell and Ricky Gervais both played the CHARACTER David Brent. The UK version was first, and better.
so much ego going around here.

I don't know how you suppose they would have time to co-write 'many many episodes'

it makes me laugh when people think Gervais is mad about US Office, they dont seem to know he's an exec producer on it.
On twitter "you mad the US office is funnier than yours?" Gervais "Yes. but syndication cheques ease my pain"

@RDprodx Precisely, and a great quote. It's equally funny that viewers are mad because they somehow think that, in making The Office US, Ricky's genius is being compromised when he is, in fact, one of the main men behind the US version. Indeed, there's no one to blame for making the show you hate but those who made the show you love.

@Nconte1944 You're a Yank, so obviously you don't appreciate or fully understand the subtlety of the original, so stick to watching the shitty American version. I'm suprised you're defending it anyway, you should be insulted that they had to dumb down a show for you to understand it.
bennyboyjones 4 months ago
@bennyboyjones I am American and I love the UK version, in fact I love many British comedy shows. But the American version is not "shitty" by any means, it is hilarious in its own right. The UK version has dynamite performances by its main characters and amazing writing (dialogue and situations) that make it awesome. The US version also has great main characters, but it makes up in its rather repetitive writing by its strong supporting characters. They are both good in different ways.

I like both the US and UK versions for entirely different reasons. Sometimes the UK version is too dragging and negative for my tastes. It really depends on my mood. I think they got a few great actors in the US version, and so there are things about it that I prefer sometimes. But the US version became unrecognizable as a mockumentary, and it went on for too long because of greedy fuckers. I don't think one is better than the other, and I think it's equally stupid to argue over it.

@mcsocrates How wrong you fucking are. Research before you act like the racist, xenophobical arsehole that you most evidentally are. I like both of them equally but have you ever wondered why the Producers are Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant in the American Office? If you're going to make a point- make it correct otherwise there's no point. Personally, this argument is invalid- they're both amazing in my eyes.

@mcsocrates I'm bringing it to your attention that you are wrong (even after me telling you once before) that the British version came before the American version. They are both equally as good but that's one fact that you got wrong. It's nothing major. I also didn't like the way you handled @chrisam91's comment tbh. I'm gonna drop it but the lesson is (and I've had to learn this on previous occassions) that you shouldn't comment on something when you don't know the full picture. :-)

@mcsocrates Right, I'll simply prove it to you: "The Office is a mockumentary/situation comedy TV show that was first made in the UK and has now been re-made in many other countries." This comes from: the Wikipedia article about the Office; how about "The Office is a British television comedy that first aired in the UK on BBC Two on 9 July 2001 and came before the US show." from chacha.com. GOODNESS SAKE!!!

My point is also that you're making an argument that you have misunderstood and tbh you've made yourself look a bit of a dick on YouTube. Those reading this are laughing at you.

@mcsocrates Dude, on the chance that you aren't just being an ignorant troll and you really are stupid enough to think what you are typing, The Office was originally a UK show, it was made there and the idea originated there. Also, you should seriously consider shutting the fuck up. I am American and it's pretty embarrassing how dumb you sound here. People have opinions and obviously it's a matter of opinion on which version is best. You are the kind of person that gives us Americans a bad name.

@mcsocrates So the latter is correct then, you are genuinely as ignorant as you seem. The American version with Steve Carell is a well received adaption of the British version.
