"The Office"

Never liked this "comedy". Fail to see what's so great about it. The fact that Gervais is a tool doesn't help its cause.

It's wonderful.

it's alright.
kinda relied on the audience having worked in that kind of environment, and it's nowhere NEAR as funny the second time, but it's not so bad.

Gervais does tend to come across as an utter cocksmith in interviews and things though.

I don't see what's so great about it. Some of the scenes are drawn out cringeworthy affairs. The comedy is mediocre - at best. In truth even if there was nothing else on TV I still wouldn't watch it.

That's the point of it, man.

I only did 2 weeks work experience in an office and I can relate.

It's really not funny at all.

I know what you're saying, but I thought comedy was supposed to make you laugh.

The US version was supposed to have died on its ar§e, I never thought the mainstream yank audience would get it.
