It’s about a paper company (Dunder mifflin) that has an office in Scranton and there are always HILARIOUS things that happen! Some of the characters you may of heard of are: Jim Halpert, Pam Beasley, Micheal Scott, Dwight Shrute, Kevin Malone, and Stanley Hudson.

I am going to assume you're not thinking of the same Office as I am. The UK version was great, then apparently they made on in the US and it was utter *&%%^ from what I've seen. British humour really doesn't translate across to the US! 

 

If you mean some other Office, then please explain

I don't think the humour translates. It originated here in the UK, and from what I've seen of the US version, it's just completely different. It's a completely different style of comedy and aside from the same name and the same sort of setting, it's not the same programme at all :( I am not sure that if you watched the UK series, you would "get it" - if you do, I would be impressed haha... most US folks don't get British humour and the Office is pretty much pinnacle Brit humour...... which is kind of why the US version is so different :-/

I tried to watch the British one but they just aren't the same.

Yep, my point exactly :P

 

I believe it went like.... It was a huge success over here. The US saw it and tried to play it over there. Nobody got it. You made your own version with the same basic premise but with American humour instead. Apparently you find it amusing. We (UK) literally cannot see why.
