People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics."

Slough is unironically the worst place I ever been in.

Just because British acting requires understatement and calm instead of American style overacting and shrieking doesn't mean it is mediocre.

A great way to establish yourself as an idiot is by ignoring what i said and not agreeing with me. What i said wasn't an opinion it's a fact, e.g. not subjective.

There is no better tv comedy than The Office, and if you don't see that then you are an idiot.

Now fuck off before I make you look like even more of an idiot.

>>82789699
One of my biggest peeves of the whole American "mocumentary" style sit-coms is that they always have camera angles where the cameras would see each other. Or they have 4 or 5 different angles going on at the same time, when realistically you'd have 2 camera crews there at most.

>>82789828

Jesus christ who the fuck cares. Imagine how shit it would look if you could always see multiple camera guys in the background. Fucking autistic piece of shit I swear to God.

>>82789699
this

you totally forget the US version is supposed to be a documentary until that ham fisted subplot where Pam almost fucks the boom mic guy

whereas in the UK version you were always aware that this was supposed to be a documentary

this is one of the GOAT moments

>>82789906
agggaaahaha AMERICANS ARE SO FUCKING DUMB

You're lucky your currency is strong so you can pay migrants to create the brain drain because you cunts are fucking garbage

The new songs were great, but the movie sucked. Many of the scenes were fake like the american office, for example when they filmed the live performances and people in the audience shook their head and so on.

But when the snow is released on "don't cry, it's christmas" is a GOAT moment

>>82789949
There are some funny scenes but I agree, this movie is so forced. Ricky should have keep the character in retirement like he always promised he would. He can't even remember how to play Brent and just spend most of the movie spamming the "nervous giggle" and ignores the rest of the speech pattern.

>>82789906

>>82790077
That wheezing laugh he does throughout was so annoying. He overuses it so much and I can't even recall Brent doing it at all in the show.

It's so clear that Gervais doesn't understand what made the office and Brent so great anymore

>>82790077
He also rely too much on sex jokes now.

>insecure eurotard bring up America because of his massive inferiority complex

>>82789828

Parks and Rec is a huge culprit of this. It allows them to be lazy with their writing and use the mockumentary format when it suits them.

>>82790543
He never said anything about being from europe, sounds like you have a persecution complex as well as an inferiority complex mate.

>>82790077
Steven Merchant was the reason he was successful. And all he had to do in the original Office was follow the script (written by Smerch) and do the Brent mannerisms.

Though I don't know how bad he is in the movie, but it might just be that it isnt as good because the writing is all Gervais.

>>82790573
No one said anything about America either, didn't stop him from sperging out. Glad my comment upset you enough to respond for him, stay mad third worlder.

Most of the humour in the show doesn't come from traditional jokes. There are still plenty of examples of it though, like so

You got mad at the first reply in the thread just because someone implied something bad about your country, you're just as much of a sperg.

I enjoy the English office more, I just like calling out inferiority complex when i see it. There was no reason to make it a pissing match between English or US office, but insecure anons like yourself can't help themselves.

The GOAT ep

This has no doubt been said countless times, but it's pretty fucking incredible just how much Gervais embodies the worst characteristics of Brent. He is such a fucking pretentious piece of shit.

Post more Office clips, enough with the fighting over which is better.

Lets all just agree that the Office US is a good but bland sitcom and that the Office UK is one of the best sitcoms of the 21st century (if not the best) and has the best handling of relationships and pathos in a comedy to date.

I like the US Office personally, it's a great parody of the original.

>>82790832
Agreed

I WILL NOT have her tunnel bandied around this office Willy. Nilly.

>>82787353
Embarrassing. I'm glad I dropped this after the 2nd season

Yet vulnerable too. If he was just purely annoying the show wouldn't work.

Did the UK Office came out of nowhere? Are there any similar shows that came before?

Not really a sitcom though. Just a drama with some comedy.

>>82790946
Brent and Googlefreak got paid by Microsoft to make a comedy instruction video for like Windows 98 or something

And then it was really funny cause they were making fun of Managers/nerds, and they just decided to make a pilot after it got really well received

>>82791021
yeah but they probably filmed when he went to get it, Tim couldn't know if that would be cut or not

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLhEfym7wXc

you can tell this is genuine laughter from Gervais

>>82790946
Trailer Park Boys started around the same time but there weren't any mockumentaries that dealt with mundane, day to day life without anything fantastic or wacky happening.

That's what made the UK office so good; nothing that happened in it is hard to believe would happen in some office in a shithole like slough. That's the main thing that the US version got wrong and unfortunately it's the main thing that makes the original GOAT

>>82791127
>nothing that happened in it is hard to believe would happen in some office in a shithole like slough

I think what made the Office so popular was because everyone knew a Brent

every office I've worked in has had "characters" similar to those seen in the office, that's why I love it so much

>>82791109
I love how Finchy is built up to be this great, funny guy by Brent for ages and when he turns up he's just some copy and paste lecherous knobhead

>>82791076
Sure that was before?
They did a GOAT show where Gervais plays a Bowie wannabe though, and a sort of pilot in -98

That episode is filmed on "training-day". The crew was probably there the whole day. There was surely footage of Brent leaving to get his guitar, if it was a documentary it wouldn't be natural for Tim to tell us he went home to get it then, as he wouldn't know how the documentary would be cut.

>>82791425
What's that got to do with anything you fucking weapon? You know these things i.e. real documentaries, get edited after filming. If they have something that explains to the audience that David Brent went home specifically to get a guitar, they would put it in there.

>>82791521
HE SAYS AT THE START OF THE VIDEO EVERYONE KNOWS WHO HE IS

IT'S FUCKING DAVID BRENT, THE CHARACTER CREATED IN THE OFFICE

THEY DIDN'T INVENT THE FUCKING CHARACTER FOR MICROSOFT YOU ABSOLUTE MONGOLOID

>>82787353
Wow awful

Much unintelligence ITT
Enjoy the Golden years episode I posted above instead of arguing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uQ019iAcQM

>>82791576
Yes EXACTLY, for the entire duration of Brent saying that he was going home, him leaving the office, and him returning with the guitar, the camera would have been rolling. Tim would somehow have to know that all of those scenes would be cut out in the edit and that there'd be a need to explain what happened. If you were being filmed then you'd look fucking retarded if every five minutes you told the camera what had just happened in case it was edited out.

>>82789633
Jesus Christ this awful

this microsoft lad has been absolutely BTFO

absolutely eviscerated off the face of the earth

>>82791694
But equally, the "editor" might have cut that line if it wasn't necessary, and put in the other stuff. But rather than have time wasted on showing Brent leaving and then returning with a guitar, it's said in a 5 second sound bite. And who knows what someone would say if if they were being recorded for a documentary. By that thinking, half the things that happen wouldn't have happened, because no one, apart from people like Brent, can be so self unaware that they would look like a massive twat on national television.

I started watching the American version first and somewhere in the middle I decided to take a break and see how the British one was. After marathoning it on a single night I went back to the American days after and then realized how over the top and unrealistic it really was.

Haven't been able to enjoy the American one again.

Did they cut off the punchline in the youtube clip or was that really it?
