British version of the Office. Still not into it.
Actually, why qualify it? Any version of the Office...
American Office is a bit of an acquired taste as Dry Humor often is...
The Office UK is where I became convinced that Ricky Gervais is one of the least funny comedians of all time, nothing has been able to change my mind.
That was my beef with it. "OK, it's a comedy and the central premise is how not-funny someone is..."
See...
Bad Media is interesting because the ineptitude is usually comedic. It's why I consider it a step above "Boring Media"
The problem is Bad Media that is intended to be comedic is the most toxic substance known to man. A comedy is supposed to be funny, being inept at a medium can be funny, but being inept at comedy causes the funniness of both to cancel out and create.. Anti-Lulz
Ricky Gervais can generate Anti-Lulz no problem
