This ending is only "worse" if you want a happy ending. The UK Office is deliberately bleak, cynical, and cringeworthy in comparison - and the ending lives up to that. In the US Office even the brightness and colour tones are pumped up to look more happy and sunny, and you're never left with more than a second or so of cringe before somebody cuts in with a quip to rescue you. It's just a difference in taste - we Brits like it bleak!
This was the perfect ending. Life isn’t a TV show with happy endings and that’s what this show portrayed. I think Ricky did regret the specials as he liked this ending
The two timewasters that came in to sack him were only sacking him from his after work side hustle as a management guru/speaker. Ah, his actual boss comes in later on with the redundancy package.
A British receptionist would make more money when you take into account costs of living - sick pay, maternity, food, health care. When The Office was made there wasn't a particularly good understanding of the extra costs of living in the US. If she moved to Australia she'd be financially better off.
Get ready for the Christmas specials. Part two of the specials is the greatest moment in TV history
Are you dumb or not know what archives mean
It was perfect
Agreed
It is. Part 1 is a bit depressing but 2 sweeps over it brilliantly
the english office is a masterpiece. the us version is a comedy.
Americans like happy endings, even if it's not the truth
It's not the last episode! You absolutely HAVE to watch the two Xmas specials.
The specials/ending episodes are even funnier.
Had to dumb down the American version to suit the audience..
now now play nicely. 😄
This just makes us look bitter, I prefer our version but the US version is a different beast
The Xmas specials are great.

It's just more realisitc. I don't mind if it's bleak or not but watching that last scene with Brent was like watching a real person, not an actor.

Did he? I doubt that
He loved the specials..
You MUST watch the christmas specials guys they're soooo good! ❤
I feel for Tim. A girl I liked once said she was going to America for 3 months and I felt sick.

Americans always want a happy ending 😉

Didn't episode 5 make it on to TH-cam?
Looking forward to the Christmas specials!!
you guys have to do the two part xmas special. Greatest tv moment ever.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t get it on TH-cam. They are both uploaded in their entirety on our patreon: patreon.com/cityboyshq
Yep Dawns been broken down by that horrible abusive bf! She doesn’t believe in love anymore! She’s lost her spark! Tim’s the good guy!!!❤
You do realise the specials aren't irrelevant, don't you? They are integral to finishing off the ending.
Great reactions guys - for some reason The Office UK is your best ones?
Where are the Xmas specials? They are the real ending to the story. It's crazy not to react to them.
We couldn’t put them up on TH-cam without having to cut out most of the episode. They’re up on our patreon
Ah fair enough. Thanks for the reply.@@cityboyreactions
@@cityboyreactionscould split it up into four parts since the episodes are twice as long
That's the real quiz.
So you guys are just... not doing the holidays specials? The conclusion to the story?
So dark, can’t see it. Will try someone else.
No worries, good luck.
FYI. The darkness comes from copyright issues. We always upload the unedited full versions on our patreon. Good luck
Black screen pointless watching a few men laughing at something we can't see
