Quotes:

Michael Scott: Oh, and another fun thing. We, at the end of the night, are going to give the check to an actual group of Boy Scouts. Right, Toby? We're gonna...
Toby: Actually, I didn't think it was appropriate to invite children since it's, uh, you know, there's gambling and alcohol. And it's in our dangerous warehouse. And it's a school night. And, you know, Hooters is catering. Is that enou-is that enough? Should I keep going?
Michael Scott: Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not... that way. I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.

Okay but....

If you look at the American Office version in its own right, it is actually quite a funny TV show. It pokes fun at office politics, incompetent bosses, diversity issues etc. That is all in all fairly well done and funny. Steve Carell is slightly over the top though funny. But Carell's performance does not fit with the format of a mock fly on the wall documentary. You watch it and you know straightaway it's comedy. With the British version it takes you a couple of minutes to realise it's not a real documentary which makes it so funny because most of the jokes are about 1% over the top. Generally the characters in the British version work better.One reason is that they have more screen time than in the US version, secondly their parts are better written and thirdly -withouit being negative about the US actors- they are extremely good actors. Watching the US version you realize what an enormous achievement Mackenzie Crook's role in The Office is, playing straight for laughs. Tim Canterbury is a fine actor but has a very likable character and Ricky Gervais restrained performance is perfect for the man who has no concept of how other people perceive him.
