The Office

That's because the show was originally British.

Oh my gosh, this show cracks me up. I'd like to see the British version.

Wrong!! LOL!
I never saw the British version and I have no doubt it was excellent.....howver this version is hiliarious because of Steve Carell.
He is so outrageously weird that it's almost uncomfortable to watch.
I swear, sometimes I actually squirm in my seat when he opens his mouth to speak.

The Office (Brit)

With the manager (David Brent) doing a fund raising danc for charity.....

Ok, I watched the You Tube clips. I still think the US version is funnier.
I can see the similarities in characters, but I don't get British humor. For one thing, they talk so darn fast!! lol!
I had to watch the clips a couple times just to try and catch what they were actually saying.

Not saying the US version is better, just saying that it's more to my taste.

I...absolutely...LOVE that show! The thing with the cute receptionist and that guy Jim has me hooked completely, Steve Carrell is hilarious, and Dwight Shroot is the perfect ass.

Did you guys see the one where Michael (S. Carrell) outed the gay guy by accident, and then had the big "tolerance" meeting? Oh my god, that was so brilliantly awkward and uncomfortable to watch.

Nice dance moves on the youtube!!!! Yeah, the outing the gay guy made me feel so bad for the guy. (I know it's just a show)

I liked the episode were Dwight had to give a talk at the national meeting. And the one where he had the concussion was belly laughing funny. Or how about the alcoholic lady licking a big handful of hand sanitizer?!

ohhhh....I didn't get the hand sanitizer thing!! lol!

I feel bad for Pam now. I knew they were going to bring that other girl into the Scranton office for a bit of tension between Jim and Pam.
Pam should have grabbed Jim when she could....but alas, that's part of what keeps the show going.
