This week I just got the DVD of "The Office - The Complete Second Series." To have this thread touch on weapons, I want you all to know that I watch this comedy to relax from a long week of making SWORDS. It helps me to feel fresh the next week so I can make more SWORDS.

I just finished watching the whole thing. What a laugh!!! I love British humour. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this series and if they have got the second series yet?

They are making an American version of this, and I hope beyond all hope that it will not suck out loud like the other attempts at adapting British humour to the American market. As an American, I am confused over Hollywood's desire to Americanize everything. I mean there is nothing wrong with American humour, but it is different than British humour. It seems to me that when you try to change it, something essential is lost. Oh well... maybe it will be different this time

I saw the majority of the "The Office" episodes, and the cringe factor was as high as the portrayal of "ordinary people" was spot-on. Some of the stuff was hilarious (I love Gareth's talk about snipers and vets with PTSD), while other things were humorous in a very understated way (like you see people sitting at their desks, but very little work appears to be done). I think I must see it again.

Great stuff,
If you guys can track down,
Operation good guys,
You'll be all set,one of the better comedy series for all out laugh till you cry,

I love 'The Office', it seems to be taken right out of everyones office live. Gareth and Brent a so cringeworthy and depressing at the same time. Sadly the two Christmas specials are not availiable on DVD yet.

Of course, no one can forget the classic Monty Python's Flying Circus :)
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

The tall skinny guy from the film Road trip might do a good job,
There was a couple of rumours over here the actress that played Dawn may well be in theUS version,but the cak they print over here i woud'nt hold your breath,
Also there was mention of a US version of Coupling,very funny show,also by the BBC,also definately worth tracking down,
The majority of Operation good guys cast can be seen in,
Love,Honour and Obey,also starring Ray Winstone, :cool:
The Sheik scene and the hands registered as lethal weapon scene are worth the cost of the film alone, :lol:
Denise Van Outen too, ;)

Hi Eric,

"The Office" is an amazing comedy series. I can't think of many shows that have managed to make me laugh and feel nauseous (from epathetic humiliation) at the same time. The Christmas special was especially painful...

David

Hi Eric,
I think the answer to that would be,
The jokes in relation to the questionable mating preferences of certain animals,
Ricky Gervais branding some of the public as quite dumb for not getting the M,Jackson reference on the dvd cover,
Some people took offence,but thats coming from my bro as i'm yet to have the time to sit through it as the last dvd i borrowed was peter kay,live,very funny,
If you can get hold of the coupling episode Melty Man :lol: ,
Couple of others,the fast show,Swiss Tony,
Not sure if you get channel 4 stuff your way but bo selecta (avid merrion) is top class,celebrity harrasment,michael jackass,craaiiG david (bedwetter)and the like,proper bo, :D,Peter Kay,Phoeinix Nights,also standup live shows,
Plenty there to give you some laughs and wonder at the crazy Brit's.All the older stuff not withstanding,
