I just think he comes across like a standard bitter American geek twat sitcom character, and nothing like as perfectly crafted a weasel as Gareth.

Exactly. I used to love The Simpsons, but there are simply too many episodes and too many that I just don't find funny. I'm a Family Guy fan too, but the more recent episodes are nowhere near as funny as series 1-3.JuanKerr wrote:

No I don't think so. I watch Alan Partridge, Spaced, Brass Eye and Blackadder regularly - in fact barely a week goes by that my gf and I haven't watched an entire series of AP at some point or another - and they're still hilarious, wonderful shows.MrED209 wrote:

Looking back at things like Red Dwarf, on the other hand, you've got a lot of dead wood in there. The shows listed above are hilarious to this day. -

Fuck off nob-neck.
The Partridge and Day Today threads win because some twat brought the american version into this thread. And also because the yanks are too retarded to even understand the humour in the above mentioned programmes so they never made a slapstick version with more fart jokes to appeal to the American populace. -

Typical insult from someone that would enjoy the American version of the Office. -
Hehehe. This is fun.
Anyway, back to The UK Office quotes...
I'm more of an entertainer first, boss second.
(one for both camps there, seeing as the US Office ripped off the British scripts to start with). -

I love the UK and US versions but currently the US shades it because I keep getting new quality episodes to watch. Also not sure if it has been on yet but I am sure Gervais and Merchant have agreed to write some episodes for the US version. -

Registered 6 years agoI like both series a lot. I used to say the UK one was better, but meh, now I'll just say they're different and both good. David Brent > Michael Scott though imo, as Ricky Gervais is brilliant, despite what people here seem to think (Yeah alright his stand-up can be shit)
Dwight: Brain teaser. I have two coins, totalling 15 cents. One of them is not a nickel. What are they?
Ryan: A dime and a nickel.
Dwight: No... I said one of them is *not* a nickel.
Ryan: But the other one is, I've heard that before.
Dwight: Okay. A man and a son get into a car accident. They are rushed to the hospital. The doctor says "There's no way I can operate on this boy b--"
Ryan: "Because he's my son!" The doctor is the boy's mother.
Dwight: A man is found hanging...
Ryan: He stepped on a block of ice, hung himself and the ice melted.
Dwight: A hunter--
Ryan: It's a polar bear because you're at the North Pole.
Dwight: DAMN IT! -
