US all the way
Winner Ricky Gervais as he wrote it 🙂
US The Office should've won it all. It's just better in every single way. David is just too sure of himself. Michael scott is a reject that tries his hardest. Jim and pam go through ups and downs on a whim, which is believable. The final episode made me tear up.
David Brent over Michael Scott? Fuck you WatchMojo!
UK Office=Americans trying to be funny by remaking someone else's idea (US Office)
UK Inbetweeners=Americans trying to be funny by remaking someone else's idea (US Inbetweeners)
Anyone else see a pattern?
You guys fucking didn't pick jim and Pam or didn't pick Michael over that stupid British shit. Wtf watchmojo!!! The British version sucks
I'm British and I think the American one is way better they act just more natural and they just seem funnier
FUCK MOJO MICHAEL SCOTT AND JIM AND PAM ALWAYS WIN
why is that shit cancer channel keeps popping up ??? fu all
No shade on the UK version, but Everytime the video switched to it from the US I am struck by how it looks like a vampire sucked blood out of everyone and broke half the light bulbs.
You are DEAD WRONG about Jim and Pam vs Tim and Dawn. That was a sympathy point from someone who is clearly jaded in romance. Jim and Pam are one of the most REAL tv couples ever to have been depicted, and the development of their relationship is intriguing, heartfelt, excruciating, and ultimately triumphant. Soooooo many key moments that should touch and strike anyone to their core. Boooooooo!!!! You could not be more WRONG about Jim and Pam. The whole "will they won't they" is because relationships that peak too early in a series ultimately bring the series down, the timing was PERFECT here
Lmao. There is no comparison. The Office U.S. is a masterpiece and the Office U.K. failed after 14 episodes. Watch mojo is getting worse
I agree because the uk version sucks
The British version absolutely destroys the US one. Americans (idiots) respond to really over the top characters who shout and blow everything up. The British one actually has thought behind the comedy and good acting. No American (idiot) will agree with this and I don't care enough to argue with anyone about it. You can't win an argument with an idiot (Americans) so I won't try if anyone responds to this.
As soon as she said Tim and Dawn won the round I was done. They don't even compare to Jim and Pam. I don't care what anyone says. Jim and Pam are #1. This is bullshit.
I think the difference between David Brent and Michael Scott tells us best what is essentially the difference between the two shows. Michael Scott is a clown. A clown in the haha slapstick sense (something which is actually somewhat anti-comical). Any development his character goes through is only a matter of plot details. He's employed/fired, he's married/single etc. Brent is a tragic figure. We all have a bit of Brent inside of us. The Megalomaniac with inferiority/superiority complex and hunger for popularity whom we try to suppress daily.
0-5
jim and pam are honestly the best couple. nobody can top them for sure. also, micheal scott is sooo much better than david brent
Well duh the US ending was more extravagant than UK. Here in UK we're a nation of realists and want a realistic ending, where as US are a nation of idealists, who want a big finale to a show
Are you crazy Jim and Pam are the best couple
oh come on Pam and Jim are perfect
Do the colors (colours) look so much duller in the UK version to you guys? Is that because it's older or is everything just more gloomy there?
Jim and pam totally shouldve won
Forget that. Michael should have won round 4
no contest…this a show that the US managed to get right when taking a UK one…i can't stand our one
It's like comparing Apples with Oranges… They're completely different, even if they are the same format. U.K. and US humour is different – I personally prefer the US version, and I'm from the UK. But equally I still love the UK version too. The US Office, is obviously going to win because it provided 9 seasons to develop the tightly knit characters, whereas the UK Office only offers 2, so it's an unfair comparison.
The US version, like many US shows, isn't particularly true to life and ends the series by tying up loose ends – a pretty positive and feel-good finale. Whereas the U.K. version is far more true to life, David Brent isn't really any better off in the end, never really achieves his dreams, we only see the very first moments of Tim and Dawn's relationship at the very end of the series, it just portrays the ups and downs of life as they are…
Jim and Pam are waaaay fucking better
this was made so the UK people won't get butthurt, the US version is better at every aspect, like seriously, Michael Scott is one of the greatest tv characters of all time
All the 3 rounds that went to U.S version were typically shit, U.K version was better in humour and it was more realistic, U.s version took it too far, you people really don't know how to compare, do you shame on you watchmojo, make another video like this and you will loose a whole lot of subscribers
If you think there is ANY character in ANY show better than Michael Scott you are a crazy person
Let's agree the only reason U.K. beat Jim and Pam was to have a tie breaker. Jim and Pam's relationship was definitely better. They had a beautiful story. The only real challenge was David and Scott. Both did amazing jobs for the role
12:33
US: Trash can
UK: Rubbish bin
The us version is so much better
American fans just want it to go on regardless! Most quality UK programmes (Minus Dr Who lol) last 2-3 series with a big pay off! Not just dragging on for numbers! Quality over quantity! In this case the UK Office was the original and did everything the US did in 9 series
Why does British Dwight look like he has anorexia?
I think the US one is funny and very entertaining but the UK is a piece of art, and the humour is unique and beautifuly crafted.
This is like comparing Spider-Man to Donnie darko
Writing my dissertation on the difference between the 2… watching this is painful
Ew the uk version is the worst thing to ever happen. Most us shows are better than uk ones.
Can we all agree that Tony ENGLAND doesn't have a life?
No matter what, the office UK will NEVER have Jim and Pam! Ever no one can top that.
US Shameless vs UK. That was a joke UK is just utter rubbish
Ok so…..Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong. The US version is a thousand times better. And Michael Scott is WAY funnier than David Brent.
Us office is shit
