Does The Office (US) Ever Get Funny?

Recommended Posts

So I just watched pilot of The Office (US), and wondered if it ever got funny/original? I don't know if it was just unfunny because it was identical to the British one, which I'd already seen, or if it was just bad.

I remember liking the original, but I didn't laugh once at the US. I mean, I'm not some British Comedy Purist or anything, but I really can't be arsed watching a recreation when I have the real one sitting on my shelf.

How long does it take to get original?

The first season's pretty excruciating if you've already seen the UK version. After that it heads in a different direction and IMO gets funny - not in the same way as the UK one though.

I consider Season 2 of the Office to be one of the funniest seasons of television I've ever seen. I used to enjoy Jim Halpert a lot, but over the seasons Dwight has become my favorite character. Every time Dwight brings up Schrute family traditions I crack up (getting married in their own graves, not being allowed to watch television, knowing the dangers of a male turkey during mating season).
