I took my time getting around to watching it, obviously I'm biased towards the original series with Ricky Gervais, but I found the American version every bit as funny & well done. Dwight cracks me up!!

I know it must be me but am I the only one who doesn't find 'The Office' (original series) even slightly amusing? Maybe I'm the only one prepared to admit it. Roll Eyes

Ricky Gervais leaves me cold I'm afraid. I dread to think what the US version is like.

Dont worry Doug, Your not the only one.
A friend of mine really likes the guy and has tons of clips on his computer, but any time I watch them I really dont find it that funny at all.

I'm sure there are a lot of people on both sides of the fence for Ricky Gervais & The Office - it's also the same for every single comedian/comedy that there has ever been - take Bernard Manning & Ken Dodd for example, a lot of people say that they are both comedy legends, I think that one is just a large, sweating, racist mess & the other one just thinks that pulling a stupid face is funny - but thats just my opinion. All I know is what I like.

Please don't reply telling me why Bernard & ken are comedy legends either - I'm not interested.

Freddie Starr is c**p aswell.

Agreed on those points aswell. lol.
Right now as far as comedians go, Al Murray is at the top of the list for me. The guys so unserious in his approach its just hillarious.

Agreed on Al Murray Craig - the guy has me in stitches!! Super quick with audience participation & well educated to boot.

Cheers,

It's all about your taste in humor

I like it. It's different from your typical America comedy, more than a sitcom, and less inappropriate than some of those stand ups (You know what I'm talking about!)
