You clearly misunderstand since they are all simply Ricky being himself in some form or another. So, to say they are all failed impressions of his performance in The Office is absurd. In fact, to say that it was a brilliant performance is wrong, too (Ricky says this himself). And he has said this himself of his acting, that is to say, his acting is not really acting at all. Just Ricky being Ricky in some form.
This scene really shows me the difference between us and British comedy, us has clear and colorful comedic characters but British is a lot more dry humor with more grounded and grey characters and both play to their strengths. IMO of course both are just as good.
Yeah they’re both good but I think for a show like the office, you kind of need the wacky loud characters like Dwight. They add life to the office environment. Ofc Michael too.
disagree imo, the office usa needed michael scot and dwight which is why after michael was no longer on the show the series was just never as good but i dont think the brittish office needs such characters just my opinion.
Oh my god, it’s a joke. Because the office US is a rip off of the office UK. Identity theft is kind of like being a rip off of the persons identity you’ve stolen.
People need to stop arguing about the American/English versions. They are targeted at totally different audiences. We have separate cultures with different values for things like this. Of course English people (in the majority) will prefer their versions and Americans likewise will prefer their own, bc they were made for them. Even discussing it is useless bc we have no objective criteria to argue against. Stop bashing each other, there is literally no point.
BorussiaRed thanks, I think i just got very frustrated with people taking over the comments with such a meaningless issue, when they could otherwise be appreciating the thing in front of them.
Even if you prefer the US version you have to respect the UK version. I mean THEY started the Office. Without them there wouldn't have been an Office US. I mean I personally like the US version more but I still love and respect the UK one..also Ricky Gervais is amazing.
Not to be Captain Obvious here but the original script seemed like it was written for Ricky Gervais. When Steve Carell said the same thing, it didn’t hit the same way.
I simply love that David must every time point facts in camera, like people will think he's amazing lol. "Eat it out there's people starving in world; Which i hate" **looks at camera**
@@mergieismoronic Freeman plays Watson in BBC Sherlock actually. The show was really popular back in the day although I prefer other Sherlock Holmes adaptations :v
I love the US version of this show, but I kind of feel bad that the original version doesn't get enough appreciation or even recognition. Even if you prefer the American version, we have to give the British version more credit. The Brits thought of many of the jokes, scenes, etc (for the first few seasons anyway), we just changed up the jokes, delivery, along with a few other things, and then made our own plot later for the rest of the series. Without the UK version, Greg Daniel's US version wouldn't exist.
@DriftZ TwoSeven To be fair, there are plenty of comedy sitcoms from the US that are pretty original (as far as I know). The problem is that a lot of Americans seem to only focus on The Office and Friends. But I agree to an extent, especially about the Marvel movies. I like Marvel superhero movies as much as the next guy, but they're starting to get pretty old pretty quick, especially when it's about the same characters over and over again most of the time. I don't know about the UK though. I know very few modern British shows tbh.
@DriftZ TwoSeven The US version ran for 9 seasons, and most people would say the best seasons were 3-6, when it moved past the British bits and become more of its own show, so this argument is weak.
You're the first American I've heard give the original Office respect. Usually they're like "UK VERSION SUCKS! USA! USA! USA!" or something equally not constructive and invalid. So as a Brit, I appreciate your respect. Personally, I value both shows greatly, and the US version with at least the same love. It started off that I was pissed off because all the characters were carbon copies and even the material was all ripped directly, and don't get me started on how much changing "Tim" to "Jim" annoyed me, lol - BUT they soon became unique individual characters and the overall show had a different feel. Not necessarily better or worse, just different and great in it's own right.
When Martin smiles after he says 'Got your name on it' after he's chucked it out the window is so good because he read that line, performed it at the readthrough, performed it on the day and still delivered it as this brilliant thing he'd just thought of and was proud of after the fact.
This is way too realistic. I mean I can imagine this actually happening like in this scene. Whereas the US version is very over the top and you just laugh because it would never actually happen.
Ofc because for Americans humour has to be loud and over the top for them to be able to understand what a joke is. I enjoy US comedy though when I just want easy laughs. But if you really had to choose one, British humour is far superior.
That's about all I laughed at. No, on second thought, I laughed at the US version of the jello prank while watching the British version. Seriously, I don't get British humor.
The difference between the sophisticated "David." and the aggravated "Michael!" really shows the difference in the style of comedy. British comedy is typically subtle and laid back, whereas American comedy is rambunctious and direct. Although both have their pros and cons,, usually I prefer British comedy. But the Office is an exception to that.
@Cecilia zzstu Montgomery it's called deadpan comedy. I personally prefer it over slapstick comedy, but that's just my preference. You can take your preference as well, but it would be better to try and do so without illegitimizing other perspectives

+Dodgy Dingoz Yes. Freeman just came up with the idea of grabbing the stapler and running away with it and went with it. You can even see how amazed Freeman is by his own witty joke about his name being on the 'murder weapon'.

+Greenmonkey552 I think Ricky and Steve were executive producers, which just means that they get paid a load of money. I think they did write one episode (maybe more), but I could be wrong about that.
One of my favourite shows ever. I was in my mid-twenties working in a very similar office at the time and it just spoke to me. Plenty of people I worked with at the time 'didn't get it', so it's not even a US/UK thing. The humour is very dry and deadpan, not everyone's thing. For the record, I like the US version too. Different, but still funny.
The bit when Tim took the stapler and went to the window was improvised, that's why Keith has a different facial expression from when he is in character
You can see Martin Freeman smile to himself out of character as he comes up with the line "well they'll think you're the murdered. It's got your name on it".
I never understood the annoyance some had towards Americans preferring Funimation DBz (or Ocean/British) over the original Japanese..... ......until I came here and saw my beloved British Office attacked for 'being too subtle and not over the top enough'.
I love the UK version! Short and sweet, two seasons-ish. David Brent is the most pathetic, lovable, cringe-inducing character I've ever had the joy of watching.
A year and a half after this video was posted, and people still want to bash each other on preferred comedy culture. :P Not all American's are "too dumb" to understand the humor in this show. I'm from Texas, but I prefer UK Top Gear, UK Sherlock, and UK Office. Doesn't mean US Office was completely terrible. Just suited for a different audience. I know people who are turned off by this show because of the accents. Shallow, I know, but I also have met a few British people that are turned off by American dialects, as well. I did see US Office before this one was available on Netflix, but I definitely prefer the UK awkward face-palming humor than the desperate 9-season-long humor of US.
I began watching the office when I was starting High School and I was convinced it was real until the second or third episode, I think. I’ve seen both seasons at least 3-4 times at different times of my life. I’m in my early 30’s now but it always makes me remember my high school years. Great show, great acting and great gray/british humor.
“Slow down. You move too fast” “Eat it out. There are people starving out in the world, which I hate.” *Looks at camera* “Oh well don’t eat it. Chemicals” God i love this guy. I like how the u.s version copies this but then expands it.
I love em both. Truly I do! In the US I rather watch caricatures of people so I know it's so exaggerated I don't actually feel bad for characters and laugh at the pure entertainment. It allows me to even like the prankster. I like this office because if I want more realistic characters with really well crafted dialogue that is natural I'll catch the British version. One is zany and the other more subdued. Just depends on my mood. Both well crafted and different, with similar themes.
What the US version got wrong was at the "How do you know it was me?" line. Jim is eating completely different jelly whereas Tim is eating the jelly cubes used to put Gareth's stapler in the jelly.
Anyone who says bad acting doesn’t get this show its supposed to be a mock u mentary ordinary people being filmed at work that’s why it’s underplayed no place for a Dustin Hoffman or Al Pacino school of acting type here I’m afraid
The UK version and the US version are both great. UK version is definitely more dry at times and the US version is definitely more slapstick at times. So it's cool you can watch both of them and get different reactions.

You can see Martin Freeman smile to himself out of character as he comes up with the line "well they'll think you're the murdered. It's got your name on it".
The awkwardness and the moments where it gets super quiet makes it so funny lmao
I never understood the annoyance some had towards Americans preferring Funimation DBz (or Ocean/British) over the original Japanese.....
......until I came here and saw my beloved British Office attacked for 'being too subtle and not over the top enough'.
The Funimation DBZ is so cancer it hurts
"Oooh KINKY" 😂😂😂😂😂
"don't trust the way it (jelly) moves".....LOL.
One of best scenes ever no exaggeration
I love the UK version! Short and sweet, two seasons-ish. David Brent is the most pathetic, lovable, cringe-inducing character I've ever had the joy of watching.
"its mad here" might be my favourite line in the whole show
“well, you won’t, so-”
“well, I _have,_ so...”
I’m dying, this is wonderful
I love both versions off this show.

This version is gay
Gabriel Lopez both versions are. Anyway the US version is just this version but with better actors and an annoying ass forehead guy.
Gabriel Lopez the American version is gay for people who think farts are funny
meages
I mean a fart joke can actually be funny. It just has to be pulled off really well and not come across as pandering or demeaning.
Poor Americans cant appreciate how top tier this comedy is
‘How do you know it was me?’ Whilst eating the jelly, love that, such an underrated moment
0:22 I like how David looks at the camera, to seem like a good guy
A year and a half after this video was posted, and people still want to bash each other on preferred comedy culture. :P
Not all American's are "too dumb" to understand the humor in this show. I'm from Texas, but I prefer UK Top Gear, UK Sherlock, and UK Office. Doesn't mean US Office was completely terrible. Just suited for a different audience. I know people who are turned off by this show because of the accents. Shallow, I know, but I also have met a few British people that are turned off by American dialects, as well. I did see US Office before this one was available on Netflix, but I definitely prefer the UK awkward face-palming humor than the desperate 9-season-long humor of US.
"We're like Vic and Bob... and one extra one."
I began watching the office when I was starting High School and I was convinced it was real until the second or third episode, I think. I’ve seen both seasons at least 3-4 times at different times of my life. I’m in my early 30’s now but it always makes me remember my high school years. Great show, great acting and great gray/british humor.
“Slow down. You move too fast”
“Eat it out. There are people starving out in the world, which I hate.” *Looks at camera*
“Oh well don’t eat it. Chemicals”
God i love this guy. I like how the u.s version copies this but then expands it.
"Like Vic and Bob aren't we, with..with one extra one!"
im only watching this coz martin freeman is in it
Me too
Haha truth
I'm only living cause martin freeman is living
I started watching it because it's got Bilbo and that funny, one eyed pirate dude from Pirates of the Caribbean
Love him, no homo and I’m from the US.
“It’s only a trifling matter” hahaha!!
its jokes like this that make the UK Office the best
Mackenzie Crook ad-libbing right at the end of the scene.
So subtle. Superb.
I love em both. Truly I do! In the US I rather watch caricatures of people so I know it's so exaggerated I don't actually feel bad for characters and laugh at the pure entertainment. It allows me to even like the prankster.
I like this office because if I want more realistic characters with really well crafted dialogue that is natural I'll catch the British version.
One is zany and the other more subdued. Just depends on my mood. Both well crafted and different, with similar themes.
"Don't trust the way it moves."
US: DAMN IT! He’s put my stuff in Jell-o again!
UK: Right, that is it! He’s put my stapler inside a jelly again.
Obviously the best version
No

"Solomon's here."
😂 I've seen this episode dozens of times and I never ever noticed him saying that.
Holy shit. I really shoulda gave this a chance when it was on Netflix 😂
“Ooh kinky!” 😂
"Cant you discipline him?"
"Ooh kinky"
Hahaha I'm surprised this version didnt have more seasons.
they ended it on purpose, which I think was a good call because it gave it a rightfully earned 'gone too soon' legendary vibe
I love Tim’s huge rush of adrenaline at doing this totally over-the-top thing when it’s just a stapler
This is gold. Shame they didn't do more seasons.
Season 2 went downhill
'one bick and bob... and one extra one' its just too smart haha
I love both versions of the office.
I knew it! John did put my stapler in jelly! he blamed it on Lestrade. I got banned from cake privileges.
0:05 tell me that's not Simon talking to Nathan from misfits 😂😂 and he sounds exactly like Simon as well 😂😂
'I told him once, that I don't like jelly'
'Why's that?
'Don't trust the way it moves'
LOOOL
What I like is that this scene, when done in The Office US, it’s significantly different from the British version. And they’re both great
The UK version feels more like a documentary than a mockumentary
Yeah that was the point.
What the US version got wrong was at the "How do you know it was me?" line. Jim is eating completely different jelly whereas Tim is eating the jelly cubes used to put Gareth's stapler in the jelly.
"There's people starving witch I ate"
Everyone fighting for their favorite version...
why can't they just appreciate both ? :/
Omg Jim and “Ryan” have exchanged heights
how can you not love martin freeman after the office??
“How do you know it was me?” sitting eating jelly 😂😅
1:37 I love how he smirks there
“Hey dude”
I laughed so hard, and it wasn’t even the funniest part.
The UK Office is so much better than the US office lol
Definately lol. Brits pull off dry humour alot better. The UK office is criminally underrated
@@BBalllegend1000 I don’t think it’s underrated here in the UK because here it is iconic but it is very underrated in other places
@@BBalllegend1000 The UK Office is one of the most respected comedies of all time and is known as such.
Unless you live in some weird bubble.
Non capisco come si faccia ad apprezzare di più la versione americana. Questa è un capolavoro
That moment as 0:45 deserves an Oscar for me
You say this has bad actors, but it is what it is. It's meant to be relatable and the comedy is meant to be subtle. That's what makes it genius.
SlightlyUnderAverage Yes, and it has bad acting because its about a office that has cameras. So that's why. I LOVE THE UK OFFICE
Anyone who says bad acting doesn’t get this show its supposed to be a mock u mentary ordinary people being filmed at work that’s why it’s underplayed no place for a Dustin Hoffman or Al Pacino school of acting type here I’m afraid
So the USA copied a bad UK show? Or, more likely, a brilliant one.
@@stevenaustin8274 its badly acted which makes it even funnier to the way the British show is
Bad acting? Ffs.
The UK version and the US version are both great. UK version is definitely more dry at times and the US version is definitely more slapstick at times. So it's cool you can watch both of them and get different reactions.
Sums up the sophistication of the 2 countries
I love both versions
