    Everyone arguing about the US Office Vs the UK Office, the best way to sum it up; The UK Office is exactly what real life is like and The US is a sitcom.

    Amazing to think this was Gervais' first serious acting job. The subtlety and depth to Brent while being in-your-face awful is amazing.
    I love when Jan calls him pathetic when she puts the speaking clock on speaker and he immediately answers "is it?" The insecurity and thin skin mixed with arrogance and self absorbtion.

    • @SagaciousFrank
      @SagaciousFrank 2 роки тому +10

      I agree. The subtlety of his acting is excellent. When he begs for his job in the second season, his acting was that good I really felt for Brent despite the fact that he had to coming due to the way he behaved as boss. Felt like he deserved a second (or third or fourth) chance given the emotional depth delivered in that brief moment of self realisation of pleading and remorse.

      Andrei Despinoiu that’s not the joke. The joke is more the cringe factor. “Wily-nily” means carefree. He’s saying I won’t have her vagina discussed openly and carefree. That’s the main joke, the “willy” reference is incidental. In making a discussion point of her vagina, that’s where the cringe is, and the humour, not the wordplay of “willy”

      @d I don't think the US one is inherently bad, it's just that they butchered the entire concept. The UK version is an expression of reality. A proper insight into office work, and it's somewhat realistic. The US version is more of an escapism of reality, shaping things up to be better than they really are, and choosing audience enjoyment over realism. I think the UK version is definitely better though, it just has a lot more depth to it and I find the depressing humour funnier than the US lighthearted humour. It just seems more real which makes it more entertaining to me.

    What people who like the US version who think this isn't funny enough seems to not get is that this is not just a comedy show, it's drama. And it tells such an honest tale about the torture of being a human being (at times). It's the human condition. But it's funny as hell too. Just not in an upbeat way. It can be, but those moments are rare and deserved. The UK version is about real people, while the US is more standard sitcom.

      Marius the uk offices awkwardness is what makes it amazing. It’s uncomfortable which makes it more realistic. The reason people don’t like comedy shows in America mostly is because there is no uncomfortable moments. However the us office, though not as good, is still funny because it has uncomfortable moments

    The amount of people arguing about which version of the office is better here is pretty crazy. They are just different shows, people need to stop comparing them. The UK office is a kind of grim comedy/drama, while the US office is a more upbeat comedy sitcom. I am not from the UK or US, and I enjoy both shows. They just aren’t comparable, as they are pretty much different genres. It pisses me off when people fight about it, thank you for coming to my ted talk.
