The US Office RULES and Michael Scott is nowhere near as annoying as David Brent! The UK Office just makes me want to hide in another room when it's on... I can't bear to watch it (same goes for Curb!).
Michael Scott is over the top, whereas David Brent is subtle in his terrible-ness. Everything about the US one is more full-on than the UK one. Not that it's always FULL ON full on, but the themes are more noticeable than in the UK one. You know, they push it more cause Americans don't get it (or something like that haha). I can't believe that you think Steve Carrell is better! Which did you see first?
I saw the UK one first. Michael is the perfect combination of OTT and awkward, which I can hack. David is all awkwardness which I really cannot handle - see my comment about Curb Your Enthusiasm! I can only watch about two episodes of that before I start tearing my hair out and yelling at the TV because I get so riled up on Larry's behalf.
I've never seen Curb Your Enthusiasm so I don't know what you're talking about!
David Brent is the character that Ricky Gervais has had in his head for a long time so he totally IS David Brent, whereas Michael Scott is just Steve Carrell being an arrogant boss. It's not comparable! Although he is funny I'll definitely pay it. I was worried with the first episode of the US cause it's a UK script, but it's okay cause they have their own story lines. I've only seen disc 1 of season 1 so I'm hanging for the next lot!! We've got bigpond movies and you only get a disc at a time. I think I might buy it though. We've got the UK one so you gotta complete the set!!
