It is awkward humor, but that's the point. You aren't sure whether to laugh or wince. I thought the BBC version was a lot funnier than any of the American version episodes, but a couple of the recent US episodes have grown on me. Earl is hilarious, too - Darnell rocks! ("My family emmigrated from Canada.") BDBohnzie 03-13-2006, 10:54 AM While the BBC Version of The Office is better, the American version is definitely holding its own. The funniest one thus far was Dwight giving his speech at the conference, where was Salesman of the Year or whatever... My Name is Earl is awesome. A few weeks ago, he was being courted by Christine Taylor (Ben Stiller's wife) on the "campus" of Frostburg State University. PWNED 03-13-2006, 11:02 AM The last episode ("Diversity") was great!

("My family emmigrated from Canada.") you mean crabman? thats hilarious that he just calls him that. also catalina is SMOKIN!!!!! Cooley 350Z 03-13-2006, 12:06 PM Yeah, the American version is definately growing on me. The BBC version is great, but what I like is how the characters of Gareth & Dwight are so radically different from each other and still so funny despite the fact that they are filling the same roles on the 2 shows. Much of it is improvised, which I think just makes it better. Ricky Gervais (the boss from the BBC version) is one of the Executive Producers as well.

Those losers suck at football, Salisbury beats them almost half the time! SmootSmack 03-13-2006, 01:15 PM I think the producer went to Frostburg. Those losers suck at football, Salisbury beats them almost half the time! Yeah Greg Garcia, local guy. Intern for the Don and Mike Show, Board op for Tony K. on Sportstalk 980. He was the creator of Yes, Dear also and on that show there was always Redskins gear lying around. kingerock 03-13-2006, 02:55 PM I love the American version and am not sure on the British one. I tried watching all of season 1 and 2, but I just don't get some of the jokes because they are about British or European culture. Michael Scott and Dwight are so freakin hillarious on this one though, I laugh until my side hurts. redsk1 03-13-2006, 03:36 PM The show is great. The "diversity-indian poker" bit was great last week. If you like "The Office" you gotta check out 40 Yr Old Virgin. Good stuff.

I grew up watching monty python, doctor who, and (more importantly) the young ones, so i guess i caught more of the cultural jokes... |
