The Office (US) S02E08...

[The Unavoidable]

What is that song that is playing when Dwight is dancing in the stairs at 15.48?

 

[The Unavoidable]

Come on man, I'm shredding my ass of here and that was a killer riff! GIVE IT TO ME

 

[The Unavoidable]

And Thomann picks fucking suck, I go through one of these in like an hour.

and they cover my fucking guitar in blue dust that is a bitch to get off

I don't know the answer but I love the show. that being said, it's gonna be different when steve carell leaves after this season.

 

[The Unavoidable]

I just absolutely loved the UK edition and Ricky Gervais just rocks my fucking world. But after watching every episode and the special like 4 times over, I thought I'd give the American version a try. At first I didn't like it at all, since the pilot is basically just stringing together jokes from the UK version (only worse) but after that it really started to come into it's own and I really love it so far. Sad to hear that Carell is leaving though.

This was exactly my reaction - as soon as the American version started doing it's own thing, it grew into a better show than the UK one had ever been, IMO, and this is coming from a guy whose favorite shows are Brit-comedies like That Mitchell and Webb Look, Peep Show, Spaced, and Man Stroke Woman.

Not sure I'm bummed on Carell leaving, though - Michael Scott used to serve for some pretty hilarious moments, but now he just bugs the crap out of me. He's terrible in actual films, too, since the only character he's capable of playing is basically Michael Scott.

Amazing show. I think the song is "Wild Side" by Mötley Crüe.

You seen the last two series of that mitchell and webb look?

It´s Always Sunny In Philadelphia > The Office

That's basically the same with Ricky Gervais!! hehe.

I didn't like the US Office at all. Not funny in the slightest, and not a shade on the UK Office - which is one of my favourite comedies.

 

[The Unavoidable]

Scottrosia/narcossintese: Thank you! I was sure it was Mötley, but I couldn't for my life figure out what song it was!


Get out of here with that Philadelphia shit though.

 

[xmortumx]

haha Yeah I love the office!

So wait new seasons are not going to have Michael Scott?

I'd probably recommend strongly against seeing the first episodes of the US version unless I wanted to make someone think that it was awful - the third (which for obvious reasons wouldn't have worked quite as well across the pond) was when I decided that watching more might be worthwhile. The advantage that I think it has over the UK series is that there are more characters - you'd hardly know from the writing that there are more than three or four people in the UK show, while in the US version the 'minor' characters are actually worth having around (and Creed hands-down beats any character I could name from any of my favorite UK shows in only a handful of real appearances).

I just have to bump this to say how much I love Stanley. He just cracks me up. And Rashida Jones is so god damn hot.

 

[neverpurify]

good point jeff. my favorites characters are creed and kevin. I also like meredith too. she's such a nasty whore.

Creed rules. One of my favorites as well.

Aye just seen the third, not been able to get a hold of the fourth yet. I still dug it, though!



Always Sunny is the funniest show on TV, period, no sense arguing that one.

And +1 on Creed... fucking hilarious, every time.

the third and fourth ones are directed by someone different than the first two. and they are cack as far as I'm concerned.
the first two are infinitely better.
