Damn. Never watched it.
Probably won't either. Can only manage one episode of the British version at a time its that unbearable - Ricky Gervais is such a c**t!

Ricky Gervais is The Office(Creatore, Writer and Main actor).JimmyBassatti said:
But British Humour and American humor is very different. British uses more Black/sarcasm, randomness and physical comedy. BlackAdder, Monty Python, Mr.Bean, The Office, Spaced. It's something you have to understand to laugh at, and in some ocasion like Monty Python not understand.
American uses a more slapstick, relations/sexual and jokes for comedy. Like the Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Mel Brooks, Three Stooges uses alot of Slaptick humor(funny that the man best knowed for it was British), then you have stuff like Cheers, Friends and to some degree Sienfeld shows that used male-female relations to make comedy, and Woody Allen that uses sex for it's purposes and finally stand up comedy which has alot of roots in american history and the most well known Stand up artists are American.(George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Jerry Seinfeld etc etc) It's a more direct approach, it's not trying to be extremely clever like the British, but it's not necessarly for stupid people.
So I really don't agree with people that say British humour is better cause it's more intelligent cause it really isn't. It's much more planned that's for sure, and sometimes you really need to be inside of what they talking about.
Like Spaced. If you aren't a nerd most of the jokes will end up being flat. The same thing doesn't happen in a show like Big Band Theory,a show about nerds, but even if you don't know what a Klingon is you can laugh at it cause thats the whole point.
But of course, theres plenty of cross breeds of British humour in America and American humor in the UK.
I love the office but Steve Carrel gets on my nerves a lot in the newer seasons. Personally I like Creed the best he uses awkward and random Humor to make me laugh, like when he eats a onion like he thought it was a apple.
I love the episode where Michael has that party with Jim, Pam, and Dwight
"Is everything okay? we heard yelling in your house"
"Everything's fine, but my girlfriend threw a dundee at my plasma screen TV"

I love both versions of the office. I cannot say that the British version of the office is better, but it is definatly more painful to watch at times.
My favourite part ever is in `the allience` when Dwight ends up with bleached hair saying `he didn`t get to me`
In the British version, I love it when Tim drops Gareth`s stapler out of the window and the conversation goes alonfg these lines
Gareth: what if that had killed somebody
Tim: well, they`ll think that your the murderer, its got your name on it
Gareth: why would a murderer put his name on a murder weapon
Tim: To stop people borrowing it
I remember the British version more than the American version because it is much shorter. Not that this is a complaint, but you remember more.

Dosen't really have anything to do with gaming but whatever.
I never saw the show but heard it was pretty good. I may borrow a copy of it in the near future.

Umm it's there American one-Dwight is explaining his second life character, and he mentions how he created a Second Life game IN Second Life, called Second Second Life which he then said is for people "Who want to be even further removed from society". That made me laugh
