Real characters, subtle jokes, Brent is a real guy trying to be respected rather than a wacky boss. You can see how he got his job and how he ends it.

Yeah but the only difference that matters is which show is funny. UK Office isn't
moron.
the exact opposite is true.
americans cant stand slightly darker humor, it makes them saaad ;(
t. ugly inbred Britbong sandBlack person
How is a bunch of screaming israelites funny?
Why do British people think pointing out that most of life is pointless a "subtle joke?"
Brits really think if a show doesn't have laugh track it's peak comedy genius
Blackadder, Mr. Bean, Keeping Up Appearances, Monty Python and Allo Allo all had laugh tracks, tho.
Python was a real audience, the BBC didn't use laugh tracks until the 80's.
still a laugh track.
No, moron. A real audience isn't a laugh track. Try to control your neckbeard autism and admit youre wrong.
Seinfeld is famous for its "laugh track", which is from a live audience. I wasn't being derisive, i just think that distinction isn't popularly observed or particularly necessary. Whats the difference if its a captive audience shitting and pissing themselves or simple canned laughter
>audio track solely featuring laughs
laugh track.
The US Office doesn't have a laugh track either you dribbling spastic
Just like everything they've ever produced Brits think that their boring unfunny shows are actually good
The number of people on this board who prefer the US Office is proof we are posting among underage morons. UK Office is an exceptional and relatable reflection of a typical office job. US Office is heckin Star Wars beet man and everyone breaking character to jack Jim off at his wedding. UK Office is real life, US Office is what women wish was real life.
>To be fair, you need to have a high IQ to enjoy The Office UK
No, you just have to have a double-digit IQ to really think the US Office is better than it.
Yeah mate real life office work is so fricking funny and hilarious you should look daily life of Japanese salaryman that shit is TOP NOTCH BONKERS MATE OI IM TELLIN YA PROPER GAFF SIMPLE AS LA IT'S BOSS
You are so bad at larping an English accent, yet you do it in every fricking thread that brings up the UK. Fricking ponderous.
The daily life of a Japanese salaryman has genuine comedic potential though
Of course an underage mutt wouldn't realise this though
>All farmers have wives

Mutts, your turn.
>D-did he just say "handjob?????"
>NOOOO MY HECKIN WHOLESOME OFFICE FRIENDERINO, HURRY AND TURN ON OUR LOVABLE CHUNGUS MICHAEL SCOTT
Congratulations. A 30 seconds clip nearly put me to sleep
>get home from boring drab shitty office job
>want to watch a show that authentically showcases the same job you just finally got out of for the day and dread going to tomorrow
ah, british television (when loicensed), so much better than laughing
It's because nobody gives a frick to watch the UK version and the people that prefer it usually just makes cringe shitposting to discredit the US one. Makes it seem like theres no other argument outside of being a contrarian.

Brent is an butthole with no redeeming qualities
thats the point until the end when you realize that hes really just extremely lonely and doesnt know how to fit in.
There are lonely people that aren't buttholes.
hes not an butthole on purpose, hes trying to be friends. Micheal and Andy are the same way but US writers cant leave shit alone so they got turned into lovable morons.
And there are lonely people who are. Can you really not watch a show if its subjects aren't paragons of virtue? Do you have issues watching Seinfeld? It sounds like you're contextualizing the original show through the lens of the US adaptation, which is a show for women who can't bear the idea of Michael Scott not actually being a lovable chunkster. Brent's big hang-up was his inability to really stand up for himself. It was obvious that, if he were able to own who he was - flaws and all - and not grovel at the feet of his bosses and even his subordinates to mask his imperfections, he'd be able to take a step toward being a more genuine and likeable person. And at the end of the series, he does stand up to Finch and we root for him because of that. And then Gervais, like a hack, made that shitty movie sequel and ruined it all.
Wow, this is the dumbest take on the Brent character I've ever seen. He was not a likeable person hiding underneath it all - the point of the show was he's an irredeemable piece of shit who's office was sucessful despite him - and it caught up to him in the end. The US Office literally took that idea, and spelled it out for the audience that Micheal was successful, and nobody could figure out why.
I mean, pick a stance - you start by berating the other anon for expecting the characters to be "paragons of virtue" - and then build the Brent character up as one.
No, you're literally incapable of competent media analysis. Brent was the focus of the show. A show requires a character arc. He obviously didn't become a saint by the end of it - far from that - and you'd realize that if you weren't chomping at the bit to completely mischaracterize my post, or else misinterpret it like a drooling moron. The point is we spend the entire two series laughing at him making us cringe, but we can't help but find Finch even less appealing. Brent isn't a monster, he's pathetic, and we're watching him get bullied instead of getting his typical comeuppance for being duplicitous and trying to play both sides. His standing up to Finch at the end is a step toward becoming a genuine person, which comes after finding a woman who seems to genuinely like him. He realizes that he doesn't need to constantly be the center of attention or adopt PC values he doesn't believe in - and certainly doesn't act on - in order to ingratiate himself with people. Jesus Christ, it's the most basic shit ever and you're calling me dumb? This board is something else.
>nagry neckbeard noises
Nailed it. Enjoy punching yourself in the head crouched in the corner because someone called out your autism.
I'm glad other people agree brit humor is dogshit
>all memes are from US version
Welp point goes to Mirrica
the biggest misstep is Dawn/Pam's boyfriend. Lee is an uncomfortable and intimidating prescence throughout, which makes you side with Tim; while Roy has big puppy dog eyes and you want him to smash Jim's smug face in.
>OTHER ONE BETTER BECAUSE LESS POPULAR

Everyone loves it. Worldwide phenomenon.

US office is a show for women
This. If the US Office is anything for you besides a show you turn on to dangle keys in front of some zoomer chick while you get ready to raw dog her, you're basically admitting you're either a woman, a troon, or a cuckold.
UK Office is incomprehensible to Americuck wage slaves who are externally grateful to their corporate overlords for the chance to work in dead end jobs 10 hour days, 7 days a week, with 0 PTO a year and no job security

has anyone every watched the indian or other versions? are they worth looking for?
I've watch The Indian office. It's a very close copy of the American version, with some character changes that are mostly cultural. Indian Dwight, for example, still loves authority and discipline, but the examples are often about him being fundamentalist and wanting to enforce those norms.
Here's the "Firing Pam/Downsizing" prank in the UK, US, and Indian shows.

I like the UK office better because it ends on time instead of dragging 30 different characters around for 10 years.

I like Peep Show and other British shows but the office is just pure garbage. Really unfunny and really uninteresting.

why are the bri'ish so ugly?
UK office is too real to be funny
US Office is the most pleb shit. As evidenced by its low brow popularity... This shouldnt be controversial and reflects the sad state of this board's population

DO THE HARLEM SHAKE!!
I like both, they both have enough to watch and enjoy. I'm not autistic so a show doesn't have to "win" over another. It's like the UK Shameless, and the US Shameless. They both have their own unique qualities.
I will agree that the US show should have ended when Micheal left. But they had a hit show making them mountains of money, so we got the pointless final seasons.
But who am I to derail the incels ranting about the US Office, because they're angry the fictitional Jim finally won the fictional Pam. Because that's so fricking important, they can't jerk off to her now.
Not a bong nor a mutt so I'm totally neutral and objective observer here. And the fact is that UK Office absolutely mogs US office. UK office is smart, melancholic and fun in a tight package while US office is a typical American comedy with million episodes that tries to cater to all with zany characters and situations. Instead of making the office life seem soul crushing monotony like in the UK version, US version removes all the ugliness from wagie suffering and creates this fantasy land where women and redditors actually start fantasizing of wanting to work in.
I remember not liking Jim, but can't remember why other than he's annoying to Dwight and going after Pam when she was engaged.
People really like smug homosexuals with mops, for whatever reasons.
he's an unmotivated loser who feels better than everybody else at the office but is too much of pussy to get a better job
>unmotivated loser
you mean the guy who gets married, starts a family, and was on the ground floor in starting a company? that unmotivated loser?
yeah
For most of the show he's unmotivated, it's a central point of his character that he's spinning his wheels there - and says as much several times. Like when he transfers to the other office, among motivated salespeople. He just doesn't care. He's obsessed with Pam, and doesn't care about anything else until he gets her.
Half the time I think you tards don't watch the show, or are so coom brained from jerking off while watching it, you miss most of the dialog.
US Office is visual goyslop.
>people explaining why they don't prefer the UK version
I just don't care, simple as. The US version is overrated but it's comfy
>people explaining why they don't prefer the US version
LE JIM FACE heckin Star Wars beet man and everyone breaking character to jack Jim off at his wedding Bazinga! DO THE HARLEM SHAKE!! NOOOOOOOOOO YOU JUST LIKE POPULAR THING LE SOIJACKFACE
If the UK version was clearly better you wouldn't have to resort to shitposting about the US version in order to get your point across. It should be easy to defend it on it's own merit.
It upsets Cinemaphile when characters get happy endings and have fun at work. They need shows to be dreary and miserable just like their lives.
/tv also gets very upset when a character unlike them (ie. handsome, in shape, has a personality, can shower every day) gets the women they masturabte like cracked out monkeys over. They're the fat dude in accounting who think they have a shot at Pam.
