the original, better, more funny Office
The Office - BBC Comedy Extra
In a series of behind the scenes videos made just for the web the cast of The Office and fans dissect the origins of the show. Matthew Perry reveals why he thinks David Brent was probably a very good boss, Richard Curtis talks about it as on one of the great casting triumphs of British television and Stephen Merchant explains why in meetings with the BBC he wanted to do the talking as he feared that the "stupid fat old maniac" would cost him his chance of TV fame.
The cast of The Office and fans discuss the style & look that made the show so distinctive. Ricky reveals that they threw away jokes in order to strike exactly the right tone: "if drama is real life with the boring bits taken outwell we went and put them back in again". And Martin Freeman explains why he borrowed from Oliver Hardy in order to get the facial expressions for Tim.
The cast of The Office and fans discuss David Brent and why a sense of humour is so important to the British. Ricky also reveals why Finchy was the most difficult character to cast, and why Gareth wanted to be Finchy, Brent or anyone rather than himself.
The cast of The Office and fans discuss the Staff Training Episode and Stephen reveals the name of David Brents first band. Matthew Perry talks about the real heart of the show, the romance between Tim & Dawn and Lucy Davis explains how they made that look so convincing.
The cast of The Office and fans discuss the global impact the show has made. Matthew Perry thinks its success is partly down to its ability to "sit in the awkward for as long as possible".

omg you guys *OMG SHUTUP TROLL GOD US OFFICE IS BETTER* ...you did exactly what i knew you'd do. oh ontd.
ugh shut up it's not 2006
If I wasn't on some heavy ass pain killers from the dentist right now, I would probably sound more coherent, but you get my drift.
I look at it and think, "Hmmm... this should really make me horny... right? Not so much. Dang. I wish it mad e me want to DO that, cuz DAMN, my Dh would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that. But not. SO, okay. But it is a beautiful pic."
Anyway, just wanted to say all that because I'm hopped up on 'i got my f*ing tooth pulled and now cant think straight' and feel like I apparently need to just blabber on.
Apolopgies from the sane part of me who is not in control
She's dead...
She's not dead!
'I froze your tears and made a dagger
and stabbed it in my cock forever.
It stays there like Excalibur
Are you my Arthur?
Say you are.
Take this cool dark steeled blade
Steal it,
sheath it,
in your lake.
I’d drown with you to be together.
Must you breathe?
Cos I need Heaven'
Also, props to OP for the Brent quote.
i'm not saying the US office is better but like stop comparing them...
they're both good shows in their own rights, it's not a competition
The truth, you speak it. The US version is irritating and painfully unfunny. :(
USUK version is irritating and painfully unfunny. :(Fixed that for you there.
There's no point in comparing them though, UK humor is vastly different from US humor. What makes some people laugh doesn't make others.
