Michael Scott > David Brent

The American Office is funnier, more watchable over longer periods, and Michael Scott is one of the greatest characters created (after season 1).

This is a terrible opinion and I feel sorry for your sense of humour.

More laugh out loud scenes in the American office, rather than scenes that make you cringe (uk version). This is pivotal. Plus Steve Carrell is a genius.

Nothing to discuss, English and yanks do comedy different and there lies the difference,like someone said the genius is the awkwardness and reality of it not the slapstick

I didn't get more than 15 minutes past the first American episode, as they had just stolen the script almost word for word from Gervais' version. However, lots of people think the US version is good so fair enough.

Very different shows in my opinion. I do like the American version but ours beats it hands down. Also the greatest comedy Christmas special ever for me

We'll have to agree to disagree friend. I find the American office a bit forced and has been milked whereas The Office UK is nearly perfect in my personal opinion.

Start from season 2. Thank me later.

I think that the British one far is way funnier than the American version, although that too is a good show in it's own rights. The humour in the British one is intended by the cringeworthiness of David Brent because you come across arseholes like that in real life in Britain regularly, although not as extreme.

The British version is a million times better imo. Gutted like Gavin and Stacey that there wasn't way more series.

Just watched Andy Bernard punch a hole in the wall to the tune of Rockin' Robin. Great quote in this episode too. Not so much what was said but the delivery.

"I miss him, Pam."
"Who? Dwight?"
"No. John Denver."

 

[Horatio Moustache]

They are both brilliant in their own ways.

Michael Scott listening to Lady Gaga in his convertible, pulls up to the camera, shades on,

"It's Britney bitch."
