Reports of The Office's death have been greatly exaggerated

generally speaking which is considered funnier, the British or the American version?

Both are great.

(...)

The British version is purely awkward situation after awkward situation (...)

I think if you ask me what is the funniest, I would say the U.S. version, if you ask me which one is a better series I would probably go for the British. They are actually surprisingly different. I sort of "feel" the British one a lot more realistic and it really increases the impact of some situations.

Like said above, the British one practically has no innocent funny situations - something which exists in the U.S. version and makes it considerably lighter. The U.K. version is almost complete sheer awkwardness (often overwhelming for me). I know some people find that extremely funny, I often just cringed and shaked my head in denial (I found some funny, though) while still having the impression that most (if not all of this stuff) could *actually happen in real life*. I think also that the U.K. one did well to end at a couple of series.

This topic reminded me of..



Watch it if you haven't already. Bloody brilliant.

Heh I remember I saw that movie in the theater, solely because it was really hot out that day, so I was wearing shorts and a tee, and when I got inside it felt really nice, but then it turned into the planet Hoth and i was curled up in my seat shivering.

The movie itself was good, but I think it went WAAYY over my head. I'd like to see it again. I like to think that I have gotten smarter in the last 3 years since it came out.

Steve Carell is gone but tonight's episode was hilarious. I think they're working overtime to pull this off.

I know they're trying to find a new boss, but I hope once they do it won't try to focus on him as the main character. I'd be happy if they went ahead with the person who was in charge at the end of the episode tonight

Yes holy crap, can't wait for the next episode.

I've been growing really tired of The Office over the last year or two, but I must admit that last night's episode was great.

I think Parks & Recs is getting better personally. The Office has had its time I'd say, so hopefully it ends off on a good note sometime soon.
