kookycanooky Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 the pilot threw me off - it was a complete rip off of the UK show. Now I actually think it is somewhat amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffhead77 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 the americans are once again bastardizing something good and turning it into something brutal.it's a weak version, with 2 interesting characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an awful guy, but somehow he still manages to get his crew to repeatedly go out for beers with him. The final episode of Season II had me in tears. I had sympathy for the bastard through all his despicable self-serving actions. Fucking brilliant show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I like the new episodes!!! At first I thought it was lame to do a scene by scene remake, but last night(foot in the Catscan) and recent shows have all been hilarious. Steve Carrell puts a slightly different spin on things that not quite Ricky Gervais, but still good. Geez, what's with this Schwa guy anyway, The Slip, Ricky Gervais, C'MON MAN, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

Diggzz Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 the pilot threw me off - it was a complete rip off of the UK show. Now I actually think it is somewhat amusing.I thought the same thing and to be honest I don't think I've even seen the first US season for that reason. The new ones are totally different and HILARIOUS!! I loved Dwight crashing his camero into the pole, getting out, puking on his back window, then jumping back in and flying off leaving his bumper behind. I find Dwight far funnier then the similar character for the UK version (can't remember his name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingstoned Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 ahaha...yes last night was prob. the funniest I've caught so far...basing this on me actually giggling outloud several time...1.) being DWIGHT DWIGHT DWIGHT DWIGHT DWIGHT repeat (not to self to try that at work myself)2.) smashing car/puking....hehehe...I haven't seen any of the BBC episodes so I think that's why it is as amusing to me since it had no expectations to live up to.CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIECARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIECARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIECARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIE CARRIESorry - just practicing for my afternoon work project. ok back to work now..I think I'm ready.

bouche Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've read many times that it has actually gotten really good with new material. I read about some funny xmas episode where Brent was changing the rules throughout the xmas exchange game because he wanted the iPod...I think he even bought it.

peipunk Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'd agree with the infamous fluffhead that the American version is a bit bastardized....I think its almost a sitcom, while the British one seemed outrageous but more realistic, IMO. A little more heady, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
