You're absolutely right- the British TV show The Office.......Seriously though, I've only seen a few episodes of the yank Office. It was pretty funny but not as profound as the British one. You don't get the same sense of futility, inadequacy and despair that is the basis of al good comedy.
Uhhh.... its comedy! Watch it for what it is, don't search your inner self when watching it.
So the US version is better if you have lower expectations? 😛
If a comedy show can be funny and say something else as well, that to me is a good thing.
Anyhoo, that's not really the point. IMO the British sense of humour to me thrives on misery and failure, which in my experience the American one doesn't.
So basically, what Orion said.
