Why It’s a Good Option for Laughs: I am about to make a very controversial statement: I find the original version of The Office way funnier than the American version.
It may be a little less heartwarming than the American version, but that’s kind of why I love it.
The UK Office also is very compact with only twelve episodes (plus Christmas specials) that it never really drags on.
Ricky Gervais’s David Brent is just so freaking outrageous that he makes you laugh and also cringe .
