I'll have to check this out. I've only seen the US version and I think it's pretty funny. Steve Carrell is pretty hilarious.

Ohh! heart

The subtle humour kills it. Such a good series to watch! Those that haven't seen the Christmas Special -you must. It finishes sesson one and two's loose ends so well!

Gervais wrote the American version -yet he set it up to fail in a way. Why would he write it to be more successful than his original?! Plus American's struggle with subtle humour.

British is the original, American version couldn't hit it like the original did.

I'm glad I made this post, I didn't even know about the Christmas Specials... thx

the christmas special wasn't that great... but that's compared to season 1 and 2 which were brilliant.

I love the episode in season one where all the staff is at some motivational speaker, and it ends up with the boss playing his guitar etc.

Also, the american version isn't nearly as funny.

^^ Free love on the freelove freeway, the love is free and the freeway's long.....

big grin

I love when David is depressed and recites some of his poems to Dawn:

"I froze your tears and made a dagger and poked it in my cock forever...." big grin big grin big grin

There's a wikked video of freelove freeway in the box set on the third DVD (The Christmas Special) with Noel Gallagher. Brilliant !

The Office is one seriously funny show, but 'Pheonix Nights' another British sitcome about northerners, beats it everytime, absolutely the dogs.
