As a lifelong citizen of the United States of America I have a unique perspective of this ball made of dirt and water flying through space and time at a zillion miles per second that we live on. (I apologize for the length of the previous sentence and its rambling nature)
- Any race of people which don't require sun block are automatically inferior and less civilized than us.
- God is on our side and our side only in every war. That includes ones that we start.
- As far as television shows are concerned, we hand the world its ass.
There seems to be two types of folks in this world: Those that regard the U.S. version of The Office as not only superior to the U.K. version but also as one of the greatest television shows in history, and those which are worthless baggies of human excrement who don't deserve the iPods Jesus died on the cross to give them.
There are several reason why someone might be deranged enough to say such a thing.
- They have never seen the U.S. version
- They don't have air conditioning.
- They are deaf and blind.
- They are being held hostage and they have been told that unless they say the U.K. version is better their kids will be eaten by cannibals.
- They have lead poisoning.
How I usually get people to agree with me is to beat them upon the face with my fists. However, since you are there and I am here (unless I am watching you read this, in which case prepare for a smack) so the only thing I can do is present the facts:
- Pam is hotter than Dawn. Barely.

- Even though Tim is a better name, Jim makes the funnier faces.
- Michael Scott is a douche. David Brent is most likely a child rapist.
- Better character development.
- You don't need and English to English dictionary. Unless you live in England, in which case, I don't care.
It's science.

Interesting perspective... I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of either version. Though I haven't given the US version much of a try, neither of them really made me laugh much.
pam is hotter than dawn. i'd do her.
character development is better in the us version, but the uk version only ran for 2 seasons... or cycles, as they say. you can only develop so much in two years i think. but whatev. america rules! F$%@ yeah!!
Yeah, sorry, but the US version is just a pale imitation of Gervais and Merchant's version.
And even if I liked the US version more, I would still have to say that it's fairly easy to get good results when your show's characters and themes are already layed out for you.
And it's not science. It's a brainwashed yank's idiotic opinion. Deal with it.
I agree with the previous post, and would like to add that Jesus didn't die on the cross. If he was never born, he never could have died. Silly American.
I love americans, but when i say this anywhere in the world i get spat on. This is unfortunate what with me a being an airline pilot and all. Thank god for the safety of the net.
Thank god USA is the center of the civilized world then. Wake me up when you watch the 14(!) episodes of the UK office and change your mind.
It's quite clear, Americans simply cannot grasp hold of the genius that is British comedy.
ha.
"You don't need and English to English dictionary."
Good sentence champion.
The UK and US have separate sense of humor. When I watch monty python or some other type of british show on BBC or IFC, I simply do not find some parts funny because I don't get it. When I watch the Office, I cry in laughter because of the punch lines and saying I am familiar with. Each country has their own inside jokes they use from local things happening around. That is why both are so different and successful.
you sound ignorant. I dont know which is better, but you're an american who isnt even trying to understand the british perspective. like saying you dont need an english to english dictionary for the uk version of the office... well thats only a problem if you're american. thats like telling frensh or spanish people that our books are better because we can read them.
