its so weird when you watch the us version first.
I just finished watching The Office US version, and am now watching the pilot for the UK version and it's weird how close they are in beat for plot... except for minor changes for some references/jokes between UK and US audiences to understand
@@MedalionDS9 Have you watched the Indian version yet? 😂
@Ilovesuperman Yep
@@ChaitanyaRacharla yeat, it called kuch kuch hotta he

The Office UK: Ahh, he put my stapler in jello.
The Office US: DAMN IT JIM! HE PUT MY STUFF IN JELLO AGAIN!
PopCorn Kernel
*jelly
US Office .> British office.
Gervais digging his Emmy out of Carrols' butt cheeks, priceless.
The US Office copies this joke, instead they put a stapler into a meatball.
@GoldenIolaire who said I was angry lol? just saying
"Put my stapler inside a jelly again". Perhaps "He's put ... " rather than "He put ..." as the former is more UK English.
Gareth looks like he hasn’t slept in 8 weeks then got possessed by Voldemort.
Rundy Ftw 😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha the actor is still cute in my opinion
... Gareth always made me feel uneasy, because... My name is also Gareth, i look similar to him, and I even have a slight resemblance to his personality.
That's just how people look in Great Britain.
“Can’t you discipline him?!.”
“oOOoOoO KiNkY”

_ Mel _ Hello Kevin, is that you??
robert gray Uh oh I’ve been recognized
Michael's version:
"Discipline? KINKY!"
*Cuts to Phyllis to foreshadow of how she is horny by listening to Fifty Shades of Grey*
Dirty minded bishes.
'How do you know it was me?'
*Eats jelly*
Classic Tim
I am Jewish too. LIKE A PANCAKE!!
What’s a jelly?
Jello.
Some people are correcting you because they thought you meant jello, but in the U.K. it’s called jelly.
"theres people starving in the world which i HATE..." that look he gives the camera ahahaha
You are everywhere dude
vIMONST3RIv us version of that was so much funnier haha
Aljaž Jesen no it wasn’t
Obesus yes it was mate
@@Ajesen the original captures Brent's character much better than the us did with Scott
Oh snap, Gareth is the eye dude from Pirates of the Caribbean
He also plays Orell in Game of Thrones. Great, underrated character actor.
Wheatley from portal, and the perv from good boys.
@@buffybuffalo2975 I thought Stephen Merchant voiced Wheatley?
Xx_NoSc0p3r_xX he does. He plays all those characters.
McKenzie Crook is his name I think.
"Slow down, you move too fast" - a totally bizarre reference to a Simon and Garfunkel lyric. Hilarious, very Brent.

@@jacksonskogg982
I feel like the US version did a better job pulling this joke off
R. Robin Well you are wrong i'm afraid
An opinion can't be wrong.
I seriously disagree
Not A Tomato Well this one is
Not A Tomato In my opinion, it can be.
That's subtle look David gives to the camera when he says 'Which I hate' is pure genius. It's these small details that make the Office so great
That's what makes Ricky great, and his comedy. You see this and of the ilk in all his movies/TV shows.
Ive not seen a single other TV show or movie where Ricky does anything but an unfunny gauche impression of his brilliant performance in The Office.
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.
ProMaxElite that wasn’t subtle
Subtle like a brick lol
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.
This scene isn’t even funny in uk
@@rjpuller2618 thats your opinion and its perfectly fine to think that, comedy is subjective after all.
it all kinda depends on your prefered kind of humor, I suppose. For example, I enjoy US more for its high energy.
“Identity theft is not a joke Jim!”
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.
Commander Rex I think he is real,because he did comment tbh.
millions of families suffer every year!
mung beans aint a joke either.
Ironic...
It’s Bilbo baggins and the one eyed guy from Pirates Of The Caribbean.
You’re half right or wrong. Depends on your outlook.
Bilbo Baggins? I thought he was Dr. Watson
@@felipemelo2013 He's both
holy shit i didnt realise gareth was the pirate!!!
Yeah ikr
John Krasinski perfectly executed this character imo, the body language, the facial expressions, it's brilliant.
hamzoloo US version is better
You have it backwards
Ya but it would of never existed without the UK office
just like oxygen from the trees but we all love oxygen more than trees.
Isaiah Martinez yes but US I still better
“There’s people starving in the world, (looks into the camera) which I hate!”
Absolutely genius
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 was today year’s old when I realised that UK Jim is John Watson.
+Aarthi Bakthavathsalam
What are you on about? It’s Martin Freeman. Also, Jim is US Tim.
@@mergieismoronic Martin Freeman plays John Watson
Also bilbo baggins
@@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
Tim is not UK Jim. Jim is US Tim.
*looks at camera* "which I hate!".
Just to reassure us
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**
Did you not know that the UK version is the original one?
Klaüs Smooth OMG I FOUND SOMEONE WHO LOVES HIM TOO
“I don’t trust the way it moves”
"Why would a murderer put his name on a murder weapon?"
"To stop people from borrowing it."
😂😂
I love Tim, he's the best!
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.
@@FGuilt i dont recall anyone asking buddy
@@YungSheogorath it's called the 'comments' section. Not the " Q&A" section.
"Seriously, I don't get British "
^When someone utterly bereft of self-awareness considers ignorance to be boast worthy... ;)
F!@#Guilt hahahahahahahahahahahaha ur so funny
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.
@dayum son I bet you're a 9 year old because you cant get the idea that the US office would never have been if this show didn't exist.
They are both amazing, if they did a US version after, it's because they knew that it's going to be better.
The Cringe factor the Uk edition is 10 times and ai love it
@dayum son do you see the immense similarities that they both have? So saying one is bad is like saying the other is bad.
I want a American latin version
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.
common sense? there's no place for common sense in the internet! (I totally agree with you btw)
THANK YOU.
you are French. your bipartisan argument is invalid
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.
weee beeee troooooolin!
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.
Thank you! I couldn't agree more!
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.
Ricky Gervais helped make the us one as well! come on americans!
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.
@QUEENDOM no that''s the comedy. It's not over the top, it's very very British though
"This is way too realistic:" I mean, that's the whole point? Americans really find it hard to get British comedy, huh
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.
@@KR-ll2qj nah
K R that’s kinda condescending
Bilbo being drunk. Thinking he is working in an office and shit...
You should watch the hobbit office Saturday night live sketch x'D its very awesome! Wish they made an actual show out of that.
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.
0:03 Jim Halpert on the background is watching 👀
Holy fuck, that's so true
He's waiting for the cameraman to zoom on him
"It's only a *trifling* matter."
"I've always been your biggest *flan.* "
I prefer a flan !
What’s Tim eating when he says that? I’m from the US and never seen anything like it.
@@shmeagol That’s what we use to make jelly* here - throw those cubes into a jug with boiling water, give it a stir then set it in the fridge. (Is it made differently in the US?)
* “jelly” in the UK is the stuff he put Gareth’s stapler in, aka jello. So, despite denying it, Tim’s just showing that it was him who did it and that he doesn’t give a shit either.
What’s wrong with *pudding* stationery in a jelly?
Gareth got his just *desserts* if you ask me.
There are *hundreds and thousands* of puns for this situation.
@@vonteflontop punmanry
Sherlock is investigating the case of someone murdered when they got hit by a stapler that fell from a window
Fanfic idea! Do I have your permission to use it?
Yeah of course!
Unfortunately Watson couldn't join him because...you know...
BlurTech keep us posted please, person from 3 years ago.
Did you check the name written in tip ex on the stapler, it’s a bit incriminating
I love how David tries to make himself look good by getting in the view of the camera and saying "which I hate".
This is so relatable...
"Well, you won't, so..."
"Well, I have, so..."
I love this show LMAO
2:00 That entire bit was improvised.
Yeah by Freeman's body language. I didn't notice it before.
What ya mean it was improvised? You mean to tell me they came up with that on the spot?
+Dodgy Dingoz Dude, they came up with 90% of this show on the spot. That's what makes it so good.
+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'.
True. They just rented an office and started riffing. They didnt have a script or nuffink.
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.
Sophisticated is definitely the wrong word, I’d say it’s more, frustrated
Sophisticated makes it sound like it’s better
@Cecilia zzstu Montgomery comedy is subjective, your whole paragraph means nothing
@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
@@podomuss that's kinda harsh the way you put it
@Cecilia zzstu Montgomery I like the US version, but this version makes me laugh harder than I do when I watch the US version
The reason I love this is that this scene both in the US and UK version is comedy gold. The style is very different, US one is more loud and colourful whereas the British one is very very subtle and dry. And honestly, you just need to get each of the styles to like them. As someone who's grown up watching both styles, I totally see how brilliant this scene is in both the shows.
Really? Imo the US version of this joke feels so forced while the UK version just feels natural.
@@infinitygaming691 Yeah, cause they were trying a bit too hard to copy it. The US one grew into its own thing in the second season.

"Oooh KINKY" 😂😂😂😂😂
WHY DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT THE BOSS IS THE SAME GUY THAT MICHAEL MET AT THE ELEVATOR
YES THAT WAS THE JOKE OF THAT SCENE. THAT BOTH BOSSES MET AND THEY LIKED EACH OTHER
HIS NAME IS DAVID BRENT
KevThaSalty I KNOW I JUST WATCHED THE EPISODE 😂😂 4th time watching the show and i just understood the reference :(
It's Gervais, the creator of The Office
littlesmew ...why did you feel the need to write a rude comment when you could’ve just kept scrolling...
Martin is so funny,
“To stop people from borrowing it”
That's Ragetti from Pirates of the Caribbean, and Orell from Game of Thrones !
Not to mention Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit or Dr Watson from Sherlock!!
TheWiwiee
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Oh, sup Negan. Still pissed you killed Glenn.
Negan fuck game of thrones.
Negan no way! 😱
Love it! Much more natural and subtle than the US version.
“This is funny, but sad and awkward at the same time”

That's the point.
@@Hassan-go7hv i don't think so. I love British comedy and British humor can be very different.

Another Key and Peele loving person, god bless you
How do we know Tim put Gareth's stapler in jelly? The proof is in the pudding.
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.
what is watson doing there
This is his job before he joined the army
Bonnie1020Production and before he met sherlock lol
Do you mean Bilbo Baggins? :D
+Little Ann or Arthur Dent 😂
Or Everett Ross
"its mad here" might be my favourite line in the whole show
The awkwardness and the moments where it gets super quiet makes it so funny lmao
I wish ricky gervais made himself more involved in the us version
***** yeah you know
but... isn't he the producer?
Greenmonkey552 yeah he is, I mean with acting, I wish his character was in it more than just one scene in the whole 9 seasons lol
+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.
hedgehog1965uk When you said Ricky and Steve, I immediately thought Stephen Merchant...
"Why would a murderer put his name on a murder weapon?". "Err, to stop people borrowing it." Genius.
"don't trust the way it (jelly) moves".....LOL.
One of best scenes ever no exaggeration
“It’s only a trifling matter” hahaha!!
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 don't trust the way jello moves either.
+Mairi Corinna haha
Jelly!!!
‘How do you know it was me?’ Whilst eating the jelly, love that, such an underrated moment
Garett took it calmly, where as Dwight had enough of Jim’s pranks.
*Gareth
I love how when he's supposed to be giving shit to Tim for the misconduct he's looking at Gareth. He's got such an intense desire to be popular that he can't even stand up for the one person in the office that sort of likes him.
"Like Vic and Bob aren't we, with..with one extra one!"
“Ooh kinky!” 😂
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.
"Solomon's here."
😂 I've seen this episode dozens of times and I never ever noticed him saying that.
"We're like Vic and Bob... and one extra one."
Holy shit. I really shoulda gave this a chance when it was on Netflix 😂
Poor Americans cant appreciate how top tier this comedy is
"Don't trust the way it moves."
“well, you won’t, so-”
“well, I _have,_ so...”
I’m dying, this is wonderful
I love Tim’s huge rush of adrenaline at doing this totally over-the-top thing when it’s just a stapler
Mackenzie Crook ad-libbing right at the end of the scene.
So subtle. Superb.
I love both versions off this show.
*of
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.
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
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.
“How do you know it was me?” sitting eating jelly 😂😅
I love both versions of the office.
“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.
its jokes like this that make the UK Office the best
0:22 I like how David looks at the camera, to seem like a good guy
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.
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.
2:27 Gareth calling for David is like Dwight calling for Michael.
"oh kinkyy" 😂😂😂 killed me
for those who are confused, the UK version (this one) came before the US one and the reason this scene is the same as the US one is because Ricky Gervais directed and wrote the UK one and then the US one with Steve Carrell
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.
God knows how many times I've seen scene - it always cracks me up. Fortunately watching it on the laptop I can pause it so I don't miss any
0:22
Gareth takes his stapler out of the jelly
how can you not love martin freeman after the office??
"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
'one bick and bob... and one extra one' its just too smart haha
'I told him once, that I don't like jelly'
'Why's that?
'Don't trust the way it moves'
LOOOL
1:37 I love how he smirks there
Ahhh Martin is adorable and so funny.
"Here we go, we're always like this" 😂😂
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.
I'm British and I like the US version more.
*Wait, that's illegal*
SSG Deadpool I DECLARE BANKRUPTCYYYYYYY
Well i'm American and I like the UK version more
@Vinay Garnepudi No, most people are saying the US version is way better and not giving a reason for it.
@Vinay Garnepudi I barely see people giving reasons. Most of them just say that the US version is much better
Tape gtfo
Obviously the best version
No

"Why would someone put their name on a murder weapon" | "uhhh to stop people from borrowing it" hahaha
"How do you know it was me?" said Tim as he bit into some raw yellow jelly cubes.
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
Omg Jim and “Ryan” have exchanged heights
UK version genuinely makes me laugh. It just seems like they know how to play with contrast an irony it’s a little bit better. Also I appreciate the fact that the combinate self is understated. With US version I almost feel like I’m being prompted to laugh by comparison, like the show is basically saying “now look at this.” The US version is also just too lighthearted for me. I guess I appreciate the dead pan delivery.
