I watched us first (about 6 seasons) and then uk. Only watch the uk one if you love the us one is my advice. I enjoyed both a lot but the uk one is harder to watch.

After watching the original, I tried to watch the US version, got about 20 minutes in and found it to be such an unfunny knockoff, I couldn't even get through the first episode. The reason the show is great is because of the British humor. It's an essential component. The American version is like attempting to make peanut butter without the peanuts. I should probably give it another try and actually watch it before judging so harshly, but I didn't like what little I saw. I find it interesting that there are people who like both versions when they clearly don't elicit the same sense of humor.

I really wanted to like this series, but after a couple of episodes of season one I returned the DVD to my public library. I didn't like the actors having short soliloquies several times in each episode, for one thing. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

UK one. US one is just an American sitcom.
If you love Jesus Lizard and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!

I didn't watch the american version just for a reason: I'm not in favor of take something and squeeze it until it's dry. Therefore my thanks to Merchant, because he and Gervais have a fantastic chemestry. They deliver an original and really well done piece of art. Wich was selled, adapted and showed everywhere with different names - Stromberg (German adaptation) have his own movie- .
U.S., German, Chilean, Canadian, and French among other versions are byproducts, hence not the real stuff.

I only watched the UK version which I loved. I didn't watch the US version because frankly, I had just discovered Arrested Development which in my most humble of opinions is a much better show than any version of the Office. PERIOD.

A lot of americans are going to say the US version because they are not used to British dry humour. The UK version is much more subtle and awkward. That's the genius of it.

There's one big difference between the two: the US version is bollocks and the UK one isn't.
Gervais has never since done anything as good.

US Office hasn't produced a single funny moment.

I've only seen the US Office and it's so good but only with Michael in it. Once he leaves it becomes unbearable. Apparently the UK Office is darker and the 'Michael' character is actually really nasty.

The Brits win this one hands down.
