Walsingham Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Cable on-demand has some of the British version, and I tried to watch it. I still didn't like it. It's just not funny ... I guess the humor is far too subtle for me and is too much like watching people in a real office occasionally mutter to each other - it puts me to sleep. Hubby doesn't like it either. I guess we're not with it. That really is weird. I don't LIKE The Office, but I know it is very very funny. It's just too painful to watch. I can only manage three minutes at a stretch.

I never liked the office, I never found it funny either... The whole thing was wasted on me... What I will say is Extra's is funny . "I'm a programmer at a games company...

Nick_i_am Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Brass Eye, and it's prequal 'The Day Today', are genius. The Day Today is where Alan Partrage started. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Brass Eye, and it's prequal 'The Day Today', are genius. The Day Today is where Alan Partrage started. Actually, Alan Partridge started in On The Hour on Radio 4, the show upon which The Day Today was based. You can hear it on BBC7 most weeks. Here's this week's.

Nick_i_am Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Now that's news to me (then again, I never really did belive in radio, with the exception of 'I'm sorry I havn't a clue'). Thanks for the heads up. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It's a comedy of embarrisment, which can be painful to watch as it is. Interesting. I guess I don't embarrass easily or care about being embarrassed, very often, so I don't see the humor. “Things are as they are.
