The German Stromberg has a catch phrase, „Läuft“, which is his standard reply to his superiors when they ask him wether or not a project is going well and it translates more or less to, it’s going. The series was so popular that this reply would earn you the look of disapproval in real life from your boss.
Stromberg also had an parody of itself called "Obersalzberg" set in WWII with [Austrian Painter] as the main character and all other characters were parodies of Stromberg characters. It was a segment on a popular parody sketch show called "Switch reloaded" wich parodied german tv shows, it was funny and popular durings its time... watched it a long time ago.
I am so glad that The Office (India) is getting some love. In all honesty, it wasn't a bad show. It failed primarily due to two reasons: 1. Those who had watched the original (either US or UK) kept comparing it to the original, found it below par, and discarded it. 2. Those who hadn't watched the original expected a standard comedy show and couldn't grasp the cringe-awkward humour of the series. Interestingly, the same thing happened with The Office (US) too in the first season. Some people kept thinking it was not as good as The Office (UK), while others who were used to FRIENDS-esque humour, found it weird. It was only Season 2 onwards that the show truly shines. I hope The Office (India) gets another season too.
The US Office was so beholden to the UK show in its first season. They were repeating the same episodes by rote. They tried to make Michael Scott balding. It became its own show in season 2.
@@DeltaAssaultGamingThe Indian office tried to do the same thing. It felt weird - like hearing a joke you had already heard, but somebody changed the names.
The UK version was not an instant hit despite what the video says. I watched it when it first aired and it had a very small cult following. It wasn't until they did a rerun of season 1 just before season 2 aired that it started to become popular then once season 2 was out it really took off.
No one wants a season 2 of office. Us office showed promise in season 1, it had actors who improvised. The Indian version casted, the way everything in India is casted, rich looking people.
While this is true… half the people who read the title of the video are probably more likely to scroll past it because Micheal Scott is more of a household name than Brent is. Less views, less likes, yadda yadda.
Correction : the French version only had one season, 6 episodes It was directly adapted from Stromberg, as the scenarist never saw the english or american version It was therefore lacking the original series' spirit, and was immediately stopped
I love how you at 3:38 used footage from the comedy skit the Office: Russian version by the Swedish theater group Freudian Slip Productions. Keep up the grwat videos, always makes for a good viewing experience.
"Stromberg" really perfected the concept of second hand embarrassment to a level, where u literally sometimes had to pause a scene, because it made u cry in shame. Which one is the best strongly depends on the kind of humor u prefer.
I never seen the office, but I saw a clip of the Saudi Arabian version of Dwight setting a fire and I did not understand a single word but was laughing the whole time, made me check out the office afterwards
At 8:00, Dave Baker said "do you know any _other_ shows whose international version are funnier than the original?" meaning he's obviously brainwashed into thinking the American remake was better than the UK original. 🤦 Hell, even Epguides redirected /Office to /Office_US. 😒
I've often had to wonder whether the creators of the US Office ever watched Stromberg, because it strikes me as a sort of "missing link" between the two English-language Office adaptations. It's much longer and darker in tone than the original British Office, like the US Office; but it shares with the British Office a dry sense of humor and a commitment to having the characters look and act (for the most part at least) like real office staff. Stromberg even pioneered several of the tropes that are associated with the US Office today, such as making the manager a womanizer or having a clear office romance subplot.
As an Aussie, I'm really surprised there hasn't been an Australian version of The Office. I think it would work well with our blend of humour, then again, our TV networks are notoriously unkind to comedies.
Just a quick rectification. The French version of the office didn't last for 6 years. The show is segmented into 6 parts, but these the are the first (and last) 6 episodes of the show, it aired only in 2006 and has been later released on dvd. And also people hated it in France, at the time even the British and American office were not very popular either. (sorry for my english)
Mexican Breaking Bad? Really? It's Colombian, man, and most of us (colombians who care about BrBa) hate it or don't even acknowledge it as something meaningful.
The Swedish version is strangely sort of a spinoff from two shows. The Brent/Scott character is a side character from a popular Swedish show. I only saw a few episodes of “Kontoret” and I can’t remember if they really used any of that character’s original characteristics for the series, as I recall he was basically the same as Scott.
It works because his character in the original show (Solsidan), whilst moreso being a comic foil to the main characters, shares some traits with Michael such as believing himself to be way more popular and liked than he is and constantly wanting to be the center of attention, whilst his neighbours/former classmates (the protagonists of the show) basically just finds him annoying and doesn’t want to have to deal with him
Hey Nerdstalgic, this is a really good video going over all 14 different Offices around the country! It's like being able to see inside the real life versions of those offices in those countries, thanks! Well done!
The German version slaps really hard. I watched the American version and wasn't nearly as much as entertained (but I mean I am German so I guess it's just really well made for my preferences) however I really want to watch the UK version with Ricky Gervais! I can only imagine how good it is xd
Absolutely. This video basically just again shows how egocentric Americans are. The German version is even older than the US version yet they call it a remake of the "two" Originals.
The American Office should have ended when Michael Scott had to be written off. I can see how the set up would work anywhere for all of reasons you stated.
Surely the David Brent multiverse. Saying Michael Scott is the definitive version is like saying Jason Todd is Robin, and Roger Moore is the definitive James Bond cos he made the most films. Michael Scott is a derivative of the original boss of the Office, played by the original creator of the Office. Michael Scott exists because of a boss that Ricky Gervais had and wrote a sitcom about.
I’ve had many office jobs in my life and instead of looking at an invisible camera I always walked off the job and went home. I work construction now and I would NEVER work in an office again. I’m outside and free now. It’s hard work but no dumb politics locked inside a box all day. Stop staring at an invisible camera and get a cooler job?
I'd love to see a similar analysis of shows like "All in the Family" and Three's Company" compared to their UK originals and why they worked when so many copies didn't.
Both the British and Americans have been adapting each other's shows for decades. Two others that I'd say were highly successful were "All in the Family" and "Three's Company". Edited to add: "House of Cards" and "Shameless" were successful too. Attempts to adapt British shows like "Cold Feet", "Coupling", and "Faulty Towers" weren't so successful. Conversely, British adaptations of "Who's the Boss?" ("The Upper Hand") and "The Golden Girls" ("Brighton Belles") and "That 70's Show" ("Days Like These") didn't really work out, but the UK version of "Law & Order" fared much better.
I've seen clips from the Indian Office and the Indian boss guy is great! He's more of a Michael than a David, and even though I don't speak anything but English, I like the performances, the nuances. I wanna see some 1:1 comparisons of all the shows, maybe comparing each character or similar scenes across the gamut of different regional versions.
The genius of this format motivates me for learning languages to understand this haha the German version Stromberg (watch it!!) is maybe my favourite show ever and American and English are just amazing. Curious about the French on I’ll watch next
An international remake that I thought was better than the original would be the American Shameless. The actors inject more personality in their characters. Also, said characters are much more fun to watch on their various misadventures, even though some of them are sociopaths and/or psychopaths. That's just my two cents.
I'd like to add up that Brazil had the most different "the office" copy, Os Aspones (The Aspones) that used The Office formula to mock public employees. It's quite different from the "cake recipe" the other copies used in the video but nevertheless followed the same formula in 2004.
The office was almost cancelled in America after the first season. If it wasn’t for the success of the 40 year old Virgin, we could’ve lost one of the best TV shows of all time.
Damn! There's a parallel universe out there where the world wasn't subjected to 8 extra seasons of continually downward-spiraling hackneyed obnoxious tripe. 😒
The legal dispute makes me question how loose the connections to the office can be. Is it "inspired by the office" as long as it takes place in an office (and is a mockumentary)?
I remember when the office was airing I tried to watch it but I HATED it. I had a deep-rooted hatred for the show. Then I got a little older and decided to give it another shot. Now it's probably my favorite show of all time
Not sure if this is the case anywhere else, but the boss in the swedish adaptation of the office was also a character in another show where he was an annoying neighbor
The Office isn't even that popular or loved in the UK it has more of a cult following if anything, so it makes it even more weird that it's become so huge around the world
Ah yes, as a mexican, I so much enjoy to be mistaken by absolutely every single country of central and south America, including Brazil. I even encourage it.
The Office US will NEVER be better than the original no matter what how dare you say that. The original will always be number one cuz it’s the ORIGINAL. No matter how good The US Office is.
What is interesting from a British perspective is that the "American comedy remake" is almost always viewed as a disaster. Us original Office fans were almost all against an American remake. I had no interest in watching it, until I saw clips from Diversity Day, and realised "hey, they're actually going for this". If you've seen The Inbetweeners USA- that's what we were expecting.
Norman Lear’s Sanford and Son was on par with the original British comedy Steptoe and Son (swapped from Jews in the original to African-Americans). I never saw the original British version of Lear’s All in the Family. A local NYC station used to air the British show upon which the American Three’s Company was based at that sitcom’s height of popularity
bbc two isn't the name of the production company it's the name of the channel, you'd still refer to it as "the bbc" if you're talking about the production of the show.
Interesting video and I agree with the thesis. I have only recently begun watching The Office (US) and I love it. One note on the German version: after watching the US version, I find the German Stromberg a nihilistic, cynical and downright mean show, mostly because of the differences in how the two shows deal with Dwight / Ernie and how Michael is usually lovable but goofy and has some qualities as a boss, whereas Bernd Stromberg is an utter a**h*le without any redeeming qualities. In the end, the German version rewards Stromberg and Ernie's tormentors, though they neither change nor regret. I understand the allure of the US version now.
Love how you didnt talk about the Costa Rican version "La Ofi", we dont need that thing here. Also shout out to the Chilean version, its not thaaat bad.
The appeal is the show is at its core the most simplest idea. Its about people working in a office, something every country has and can find something to relate to. All they need to do is change it to affect that country culture and you have a success. That and how its a very cheap show in terms of how its made making it very easy for other countries to want to do.
I think one of the biggest things about The Office's success is how cheap it is. The sets, costumes, props, stories, are all deliberately low-budget and mundane
I come from the German Show, tried to watch the American one, into season two, the German Version is way funnier! The Main Actor is awesome! I'm a huge Fan of Christoph Maria Herbst!
The Latin American version of Breaking Bad (Metastasis) is actually Colombian.
Thanks for saying this
I was about to comment the same thing
yup i came here to say that haha
For americans every country south of the US is Mexico
@@LuisSierra42 I want to believe that was an honest mistake.
Very cool! I'd like to see a deep dive into each international version of The Office outside of the British and American versions.
The German one was cringe in a really bad way, could have been good if you removed the main character.
@@Hamachingo the point was that it was cringe. He got away with so much shit it was physically hard to watch.

So basically, _Black Adder._
I am so glad that The Office (India) is getting some love. In all honesty, it wasn't a bad show. It failed primarily due to two reasons:
