Juat to aske... Whats better the US version of the office o the UK version?

I myself have only seen part of a uk episode so I cant judge but I think the US is better because the actors are più 'fitting' for the characters, especially Dwight lmao :)

the US version cuz the characters are better. and they fit their personalitys.

The UK version is so much darker than the US version. Both do a great job at satirizing the tedium of working in an office in the 2000s, but there are a few differences. The UK office always came back to the central character of David Brent, who proved time and time again what happens when a boss confuses respect for friendship, overreaches for both, and achieves neither. Michael Scott suffers from a similiar blind spot, but the US mostra has allowed other characters to take the spotlight and perform in più eccentric ways, broadening the comedy and making it reach più viewers, and in this viewer's opinion, weakening it a great deal.

The UK Office is a fantastic self-contained series, where te can really see the work that went into the construction of every episode. It's lightning in a bottle. The US Office seems drawn out to the point where I nearly don't care what happens to these characters anymore. It's like open lunchmeat -- the freshness is gone and it's starting to green.

The U.S. version is much, much better. I am a hug fan of the American version, but I'm also a bit of an anglophile and I Amore Monty Python. So, when I heard of British people complaining that the U.S. version was a rip-off and the British version was funnier, I decided to check it out.

Holy cow. First of all, the characters just weren't funny most of the time. It was a bit gloomy, and the characters actually seemed like real people. Gareth, for instance, was not at all like Dwight. He was not over-the-top insane, and I know he wasn't meant to be that way, but this is supposed to be a comedy! A guy who seems like a real paranoid person and looks like he needs a blood transfusion isn't funny.

In addition, there was a lot of overly-raunchy "humor". There was a so-called "joke" in the first episode that was so disturbing it left a dark nube, nuvola hanging over me for the entire day.

I like Ricky Gervais and I like British humor. But this just wasn't funny; I'm sorry. The characters *too* realistic and gloomy, the humor either dull o raunchy.

UK that is più funner. (lol i dont know how to spell that :D

UK is più consistently funny. I have laughed so hard that I've cried. I've laughed so hard that I've had to pause the TV so I could catch my breath. US version has più cuore in that we really follow the lives of the characters and we sympathize with them, whereas in the UK version there are only 14 episodes, and that's not a lot of time to connect with the characters. However, the UK comedy is not for everyone. The US version has dragged on way too long, and as a fanatic (yay red medal!) I personally think that it should've ended with season 3. The last three seasons have been pretty lame; it's like I'm watching a whole different mostra than what it used to be. Alas, that is a completely different story. And I have rambled long enough.

lol seriously though this domanda is a never-ending debate.

(PS - The scene that I'm embedding is, in my opinion, perhaps the funniest scene from the series. Enjoy!)

Defenetly the US version i Amore it every time. UK not so much.

I live in the USA, so I've never seen the UK version so I say the US, because Dwight is soo creeperish and i dont think any othe person can do that

Personally, I prefer the US version. I like the characters better, but both are hilarious. I have been watching the US version longer anyways...

Still, Ricky Gervais is AWESOME. I don't know who I like better with him and Steve Carell.

US version because of Dwight.

A domanda that is almost to difficult to answer.
As a Brit who loved the UK Office i was unsure how i would react to the US version, but i totaly Amore it.
It's been helped with più time for individual charecters to emerge and mostra there full range of emotions along with setting a back story- this was superbly shown with the complessivamente, generale relationship with Toby, which was fantastic as it allowed te to only imagine what had gone on previously!!!

I have personly only watched one episode so i cant rely take sides on this.

US da far. The UK version is just so plain and boring. and the US version is hilarious and I Amore IT!

Im a huge fan of Steve Carell but I have to be bias and say the UK one is just better. It's consitantly funny and so realistic. Don't get me wrong the US rocks too, I just prefer the UK one x
And don't forget, we made it first!

I Amore the US version better. I watched the UK one, but it was not as funny; although I do like Ricky.

I have never seen the UK version. But the US version is a hoot. :)

I've Never Seen The UK Version So I Like The US Version Better!

Definitely the UK version. Not everyone may find it as funny, because of its realistic style and uncompromisingly bleak, dry humour, but that's what makes it so fantastic. The US one is più of a universal concept, the humour being very straight-forward and that, in my opinion, makes it less funny o special. The UK is wonderfully original and a breath of fresh air even ten years on- I get the impression that te either 'get' it o te don't though, and I can see that it might not be for everyone.
