The Office

[Tarheels.]

I've been wondering if anybody here watches the office. I love the show and think its one of the funniest things on TV at the moment. So if you do watch it whats your favorite episode, I think the basketball one can't be beat as of right now.

I take it your from America since you said it's on TV now. I used to really like it and watched it when it was on here. I'd be interested to see the Amrican version to see how it compares to the UK one.

[Hardcore Weapon Smasher]

The American version got axed here in Australia after one episode.

[Pepsi]

I love the American one and I love the UK one. I don't really compare them, just think of them as two different entities.

[GoGo Yubari]

The American version got axed here in Australia after one episode.

I'm guessing they showed the first episode, which is a less-funny version of the original's first episode.

Once that's out of the way the show's actually very good, they just made the mistake of using the same first episode which earned unfavorable comparison to the original.

The English version is by far one of the greatest comedy shows of all time. Gareth is my hero! I never really got into the American one, they did actually show the whole series here HWS about 6 months before the run you are talking about. They showed it on ABC as well I think then when it moved to Ten it just never took off.

[Tarheels.]

Yea, I'm talking about the American one. Dwight makes the show, well of course Michael (Carell) too but I think the show is fantastic. The first episode I agree wasn't so great, but once you get past that its an incredible show. Last nights was another good one, but I've seen better. I didn't realize there were different versions.

[Bonz]

The English version is the original and the yank one is an adaption. I suggest you pick up the English one ASAP as it is fucking comedy Gold!

[Tarheels.]

I'll try and find some videos off the net, I love this version and if the English one is better then it really is a must see.

Love 'em both. The UK one was absolutely hilarious, and that's with me not being used to the accents/dialog/slang that were used.

One of my favourite episodes of the UK one is where they sneak a dildo into the boss' office while he's in there, in a meeting with some important guy.

And the most recent one from the US version was awesome, with the Christmas party.

"Ho, ho, ho... pip! Nah, I'm just kidding. How are my party planners?!"

My favourite episode of The Office has to be the fourth one of the first series where they have the training day and David goes home to get his guitar....

[fineintent]

Goodnight my sweeeeet princess.

Dawn: Was that originally about Diana?

Brent: Well, originally, but it fits perfectly.

Dawn: Even the car crash bit?

Gareth: Your relationship with Lee is like a car crash.

Dawn: In Paris?

Gareth: The city of love.

Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....

She’s broken down on freeway nine.

I take a look and her engine’s started,

I leave her purring and I roll on by....bye bye

Free love on the free love freeway,

The love is free and the freeway’s long...

I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway

I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone

A little while later, see a senorita,

She’s caught a flat trying to make it home,

She says "Por favor, can you pump me up?"

I say "Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye."

Free love on the freelove freeway,

The love is free and the freeway’s long

I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,

Ain't going home ‘cause my baby's gone.

Little while later I see a cowboy crying,

"Hey buddy, what can I do?"

He says "I lived a good life, had about a thousand women."

I said "Why the tears?", he says "‘cause none of them was you."

Free love on the free love freeway,

where the love is free and the freeway is long...

I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway

I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone

I <3 The Office.

[Bonz]

Even better in the English one was when David did his little Robot dance after getting shown up for the charity thing. Fuck I laughed for a good 15 minutes until I got the picture out of my head so funny! That and the constant attempts to get Gareth to say he is gay

Sounds a bit gay.

That is the best fucking episode ever. Along with the episode where Brent goes as a speaker to other offices on how to motivate their staff. I need to see more Office, the last one I saw was where Brent was trying to introduce the new secretary to the office, and had to fire a bunch of people.

Garth : Well I was just wondering how he knew so much about midgets.

*awkward pause*

Worker : It's called an education.

I haven't seen the US version, but is it the same sort of humour, with the sheer cringing embarassment stuff?
