The Office (New Sitcom, not the other one)

This looks really funny. It has the guy who was the retarded weatherman in Anchorman and was the rival anchor in Bruce Almighty. I've seen 2 commercials so far that look great.

Guy To secretary: "Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to be our cheerleader"
Fat woman in the room: "I'll do it"
Guy: "Ewww"

😆

Ok, I have never seen the British one so I don't know how to compair, but the American one is freakin hilarious.

"This is like slavery vs the Holocaust."

"The other one".

Dear God, nothing is sacred to you Americans.

It doesn't star Ricky Gervais, it isn't written by him or Steve Merchant. They should have called it something else.

*ticks off 'The Office' as yet another fantastic show corporate America has stolen from the UK, re-packaged and turned to shite for the masses*

This is just like Men Behaving Badly, Coupling, Red Dwarf, Italien Job and God knows what else America has tried to copy but failed miserably.

It's practically insulting when America thinks it deserves to re-write everything it sees fit in order for it to go down in it's country. Does everything HAVE to be re-written so it's a load of colourful, over-the-top, cartoony crap with high production values and UNFUNNINESS?

I mean, they go through all the typical American sitcom motions. Fat joke? Check. Gay joke? Check. Punchlines over subtelty? Check.

the british one is way superior
i agree with red superfly...why do americans feel they have to remake shows
the office is perfect..so why try and mess about with it
fools

i love the office (British version os course)...its like a train wreck waiting to happen...some bits are so cringe worthy that you have to turn over the channel...

aint seen the american version...dont want to...i can only imagine how crap it will be...

2 funny programmes have come out of america...one of seinfeld and the other is isnt the office

Don't get me wrong, I want to see the original The Office and wish it was aired on American television. However, it does not mean this one isn't funny. The main guy does what he does best so it must have its own twist on the show.

watch the original..its is genious

try and get the british men behaving badly sitcom
there was a american remake made starring rob shneider...the original is much better

I have been trying to find a place to download the originals but no success yet. I will find it, oh yes, I will find it.

The Office (the original) is pure brilliance!

I havn't seen this american version yet, but I can see how it will turn out

i saw the first 3 episodes, thought it was hilarious, Steve carell (the boss) fits that character so well

I've seen the British series too and i think the American version is just as good

Spoiler:
or better

They are just not giving it a chance because they are racist.... er.... uh whatever you call being prejudice of Americans.

wrong....why do i wanna see somethin thats a complete ripoff ??
i bet more british people will see the american office than americans will see the british version

only fools and horses is offically number 1 sitcom in britian..what chance has that been given in america? no chance...i bet u have never even heard of it
my point proved

Hey, I'd be willing to watch it. Its kind of like re-makes of movies. Usually they suck, but every once in a while there is a good one. The Office is one of those exceptions.

office didnt need remaking though..no way

That may be. All I'm saying though is that just because this is a copy of the British version, it doesn't mean it is bad.

it wont be bad....its just pointless really

I love The Office. Hilarious.

which one?

Ive seen it and it is bad, its weird when you see a reinterpretation of a sitcom, especially one like the office
