I heard some IDIOT say the UK version of The Office is the best version. So, let's settle this now. Which version of The Office is superior. US or UK?
13
US. Fight me.ย
It's not even close
They're two completely different shows. You can't compare them.ย
UK version - satire on the day to day going on in office life. Nothing was over the top, actors were not extreme polarized people with set ways to act.ย
US version - first few episodes tried to emulate the David Brent boss and relationship with Jim/Gareth. It didn't work for American audiences. They needed obvious "jokes"/pranks. You have to admit, as the show found its own voice the characters became parodies of themselves. (I still enjoy the show, for what it is, a good comedy)
End rant.

US VERSION FTW. If you say anything else, you lie about other things too.ย
100%. It's not even a debate really.
The US version is better and Iโm British.ย
the British version is a lot more dead pan and awkward, but the US version went to an elite level.ย

Traitor.ย
Why would this not be a poll?!ย
That said, US version is better.

I wanna hear these epic rants lol
US, although it dropped off quick after Micheal Scott left
US or you're on our donezo list.ย
They were written so differently you canโt even really compare them.ย
They are both so great.ย

you're forgetting the cringe fest that was the first season...
the americans tried doing it with "the inbetweeners" too... as well as shameless.
two separate but similar named shows. that's it. that's all we can compare.ย

Have not watched the UK office but I want to
You need to watch Ricky Gervais mock Steve Carell at the Emmys (if you haven't already). That should answer your question!
They are both crap.
