Trebor.
11.03.11 | The show is better now without him than it's been the last two years |
Zorak
11.03.11 | Really? I thought his wacky character made the show in my opinion. |
Sowing
11.03.11 | this season is actually pretty good, but i still miss him
seasons 1-4 are the best, with 2 topping them all |
Zorak
11.03.11 | I agree sowing, this season is not bad at all. |
Trebor.
11.03.11 | I'm not saying the show is as good as it used to be
|
Ignimbrite
11.03.11 | Yeah, this seaosn is pretty good so far. Ranked (best to worst)!

11.03.11 | ^ I would put 1 above at least 6, if not 7, even though most of it was stolen from the British version. |

TheseModernThings
11.03.11 | and fuck yeah for Verse. Saw them at their 2nd to last show with Shipwreck AD, it was incredible |
Zorak
11.03.11 | 2 is definitely best. The opening season with the fire drill has me laughing uncontrollably every time. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | would've killed to see verse. bet it was nuts |
foxblood
11.03.11 | i love every season and the current season is surprisingly enjoyable. but man going back and watching season 2 always amazes me. it was definitely at its strongest then, the show really has changed a lot since then |
tiesthatbind
11.03.11 | This season has had its moments (Garden Party was great) but there's just no beating the hilariously awkward moments with Michael from the old seasons. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | I love when he leaves Jan the voicemail that he is breaking up with her and she listens to it, unaware, with him standing there. |
foxblood
11.03.11 | i am beyonce, always. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | snip snap snip snap! You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person! |
theacademy
11.03.11 | the office is terrible and only terrible people watch it and keep it on the air |
Deviant.
11.03.11 | Why would I want to watch the American Office when the original English version was infinitely better in every possible way |
theacademy
11.03.11 | when you guys were gaggling about steve carrell on the office, i was selling my organs to people who in return promised to watch arrested development.

theacademy
11.03.11 | i have no bone marrow left either |
Carnifex
11.03.11 | british humor is too deep for us. |
TheBoss88
11.03.11 | I agree with this. I don't think the newer episodes are "bad" - and I find them funny still - but when you see reruns and watch past seasons DVDs I feel like I'm just kidding myself that the show isn't sorely missing him. |
theacademy
11.03.11 | the uk office is on dvd too why don't you just watch that instead and save yourself from the dull pain in your testicles. |
Awesomesauce
11.03.11 | True story |
paxman
11.03.11 | Because there was only like twelve episodes of the British version. And Pam is infinitely more attractive than her British counterpart. |
theacademy
11.03.11 | who is pam? oh is that that chick thats hot enough for tv but not hot enough for movies? yea she's a solid 3/5. |
foxblood
11.03.11 | dude chill |
theacademy
11.03.11 | do you know what it's like lving with half a liver |
UnnamedOcean
11.03.11 | I haven't watched that show in ages. Then again I don't watch TV these days. |
Deviant.
11.03.11 | "Because there was only like twelve episodes of the British version. '
probably because unlike most American television they knew when to bow out without running the fuckin' thing into the ground |
toxin.
11.03.11 | He's intrinsically pretty funny, but I nevertheless find him overrated |
taylormemer
11.03.11 | "probably because unlike most American television they knew when to bow out without running the fuckin' thing into the ground"
Pretty much. |
Sanders
11.03.11 | "probably because unlike most American television they knew when to bow out without running the fuckin' thing into the ground"
Even though Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant still have writing and executive producer credit for every season of the American version...? |
Zorak
11.03.11 | I have cauaght an episode or two on adult swim. I will check the entire british version out just for you acad. |
KILL
11.03.11 | "Why would I want to watch the American Office when the original English version was infinitely better in every possible way"
FUCK YEA |
omnipanzer
11.03.11 | It's not the same but I think they are still doing well. |
Deviant.
11.03.11 | "Even though Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant still have writing and executive producer credit for every season of the American version...?"
Trolling the American tv networks and the general public to make money? Check |
omnipanzer
11.03.11 | "Even though Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant still have writing and executive producer credit for every season of the American version...?"
I'm sure it was written into the contract when they bought the rights. I doubt they have anything to do with it at all. |
Yuma310
11.03.11 | Even thought I sit down and watch the show everytime it's on. The show has lost all it's power. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | It isn't bad now by any means. I Just miss Michael's wacky humour |
auberginedreams
11.03.11 | The UK version is better than the US version.
However, that doesn't mean that the US version isn't still worth watching, especially the first few seasons. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | I feel stupid for saying this, but to be honest, when I happened to catch an episode or two of the british version on adult swim, I had a hard time distinguishing what the characters were saying. Their british accents are so heavy. |
auberginedreams
11.03.11 | yeah i had to watch the first few episodes with the dvd subtitles until i got used to it haha. |
Aids
11.03.11 | "most of it was stolen from the British version."
not sure "stolen" is the right word there. Ricky Gervais works on the US version. |
KILL
11.03.11 | lol wow |
Sanders
11.03.11 | Shit, the accents on the office aren't even that strong! Try speaking to a thick-accented Geordie or Scouser and you'd be bamboozled... |
KILL
11.03.11 | yea i dont even get what scousers say fuckin inbreds |
acad
11.03.11 | try listening to that mind reader chick on misfits. |
Aids
11.03.11 | my mum can't watch any BBC shows cause she says the accents are too strong. I dont get it at all, just sounds like people talking to me. Maybe I'm just more fucking CULTURED than she is or something. That's probably it, yeah. |
Slum
11.03.11 | can't stand the show anymore |
Sanders
11.03.11 | "try listening to that mind reader chick on misfits."
People with that accent are usually total cunts. |
MO
11.03.11 | "Why would I want to watch the American Office when the original English version was infinitely better in every possible way"
this so hard |
Aids
11.03.11 | because there are only 12 episodes of the UK season (plus the Christmas special).; imo the UK version is arguably "better" but I still love the US version and there's new episodes coming out all the time so yeah. Also, Dwight >>> Gareth WUT |
Sanders
11.03.11 | and Jenna Fischer >>> Lucy Davis. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | I'm really thinking about stopping by a video store and picking up the british office. |
Aids
11.03.11 | "and Jenna Fischer >>> Lucy Davis."
so true. too bad Gervais >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Carrell. Steve Carrell is really good, but Gervais is a god amongst men. |
Zorak
11.03.11 | Jenna Fischer is pretty hot. SowingSeason's avatar is definitely rapeable. |
Sanders
11.03.11 | I still love Gervais' stand up and podcasts, some of the funniest shit around. And he also brought Karl Pilkington into our lives, which makes him an actual deity. |
Aids
11.03.11 | yeah everything you just said is true, especially the bit about Karl Pilkington I fucking love that guy.
now that Carlin is dead (RIP) Gervais gets my vote for funniest person alive. |
Sanders
11.03.11 | Never checked out any of Carlin's stuff, might have to make that a priority. Also have pretty much the entirety of the 2nd series of An Idiot Abroad to catch up on... Revision can take a break this weekend I think. |
Aids
11.03.11 | you've never seen Carlin's stand-up? holy shit dude you are missing out. Almost all his HBO specials are golden but get "Back In Town" ASAP, probably my favourite DVD that I own, and I own a lot of fucking DVDs.
fair warning: he's insanely controversial so if you're religious or a little bitch about abortion or capital punishment or other similar issues then be prepared to be incredibly offended. |
Sanders
11.03.11 | Hahaha nah mate, I'm not easily offended, I'll get on that asap! Any other recommendations? |
Aids
11.03.11 | can't think of any at the moment. just watch Back in Town fifty times in a row. It never gets old. ergh it's so fucking good I wish I was home so I could watch it right now.
