    I'd also like to add: The scene where Simon is drunkenly talking to Carly, another reason the joke fails to land is because in the US version, he's standing right up close to her, his face inches from hers. He seems predatory, as though he's about to make a pass at her. It's not funny, it's creepy. The UK version has him standing on the other side of the room, so he poses no immediate physical threat and just comes off as pathetic more than anything else.

    • @joaovictor3312
      @joaovictor3312 2 ปีที่แล้ว +76

      Also the timing is totally off, he immediately says the punchline, making it look like he intended to say it twice, whereas UK simon takes a longer time to say it, which is not only funnier, but more fitting for a person in the drunken state he was.

      The office US version remake ended up becoming it's own thing, with it's own writing, US inbetweeners however was literally a carbon copy, terrible. As a Brit, I actually love the US Office, i've binged watched it too, love the Brit Office too, they're both great, Brent and Scott are perfect comedy delivery actors who did it perfectly for their audience. Brent is very dry, dark styled humour, Scott was more upbeat kind of humour, both worked.

      Aimed at a different audience I think. The UK inbetweeners works well because they made it for the UK. With that in mind when you watch it, you may not get all the jokes but there are obviously funny and whitty lines in the show.
      The American version doesn't do the same thing. They see a great idea and instead of ACTUALLY working on creating a great reincarnation for American audiences, they think they can just coast on the back of the original while creating it almost exactly like the original.
      American comedy can be hilarious otherwise American stand up comedians would basically be terrible everywhere else. It's the lack of effort that these American remake companies put in when doing something like this that doesn't help their shows.
      If they aimed it at American youth instead of reusing jokes that most American's probably saw anyway, then it could've been great. Especially considering the remakes of shows aimed toward adults seem to actually work quite well they just need to learn a lesson with stuff like this. But they never seem to get it.
      I think they tried something like this with Skins as well and that tanked just as poorly. Let's see what's next.

      When you're writing a comedy show I guess it helps if you have a cast of comedians making jokes about themselves, which is exactly what the British version had. Simon Bird is first and foremost a comic and was previously in a sketch group with Joe Thomas, James Buckley is also a stand up comedian. They even had Greg Davies - a high school teacher turned comic - play their teacher.

    Fun fact Matt Smith was apparently the second choice for Will and they said the reason they went with Simon Bird because when Will went off on his long rants it was funnier when Bird did it cos he looked more like a loser. When Matt Smith did it he looked like a dashing hero standing up for what was right and the writers said it wasn't as funny.

    @tobynewman6405 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I think that one of the biggest differences in a big between UK comedies and American comedies, is that the people from the UK carry a lot of resentment in they're humour which comes across as very dry and relatable (especially if you are British yourself). For example Will in inbetweeners UK is brilliant as he wants to be friends with all the others but absolutely resents them at the same time which really works.
    I find in American comedies, they find it hard to represent a feeling of resentment when trying to be funny and rely too much on just acting silly. I found this especially while watching shameless uk/us versions. I think the UK frank Gallagher plays the roll brilliantly as he can come across as very relatable as being the funny drunk but you can also see how much he resents everyone around him too. The American Frank Gallagher just seems like someone playing a hollow drunk person and doesn't come across as authentic and funny.
    And another thing not comedy related, I find is American shows always try to force a feeling of melancholia on to scenes that don't need it. Like a sad scene will have this soppy sad music over it to force you to feel sad, instead of the actors doing it themselves

And always sunny, is one of my favourite TV shows as well and louis CK being one of my favourite stand ups, (not a fan of his show though) also the UK version of shameless is a lot better, a lot more natural, earlier seasons are a bit outdated though. And the reason the office was successful in the US because it had good actors with british writers. Oh and some stand ups id recommend to you are: jimmy carr, frankie boyle, russel howard, hugh dennis, lee mack and jack whitehall, all varied really different styles, id avoid people like peter kay and michael mcintyre, they're just embarassing.

Like when i first saw the inbetweeners on netflix a couple years ago, as an american, i never found myself lost or really even a moment where i didnt understand the humour. Regardless of what our tv comedies may be, I just really dont think theres much difference between our humours. Btw have your ever seen a show called the increasingly poor decisions of todd margaret? Super funny show from david cross that literally combines british and American humour. Worth a check if you havent seen it. And jimmy carr is hilarious!
