UK office is absolutely classic stuff.

Your watching this totally out of context, you absolutely have to watch the whole series, it’s all on Netflix mate, this is what kicked off Gervais entire career and it’s genius.

‘Do you still keep in touch with oggy?’ ‘That was oggy just then’ ‘Was it?! How is he..’ ‘He’s fine, you don’t even know him’ ‘I wish I did know him he sounds great...’

"He's their version of dwight". No, Dwight is the USA version of Gareth

You need to watch the full series, these clips cut off most of the funny bits!

It’s really not a good way to watch a show for the first time. Just clips out of context with written lines spoiled for you at the bottom.

Phoenix Nights

I highly recommend watching the whole series. There's only 12 episodes and a Christmas special. Superbly crafted comedy.

Awesome reactions again guys, a lot of these lines there's a build up which adds to the humour. Absolutely recommend The Office (UK version). 👍

Oggy oggy oggy oi oi oi is an English thing everyone does after a few drinks down the pub, like a chant

9:25 - I thought to begin with the guy working on the computer was Karl Pilkington. 🤣

The “oggy oggy oggy” thing is a call and response/audience participation thing in the UK. Someone shouts “oggy oggy oggy” and people shout “oi oi oi” (pronounced oy) in response.... don’t ask me why :P

What you’ve got to keep in mind when watching the UK office is that it was intended to be watched as if it’s a real documentary, not a sitcom.

The office is honestly a piece of artwork. Masterpiece. Categorises those characters you just cannot describe

*"Derek outtakes''* is great. And can be understood without context. :]

I agree to an extent that the US version is more overtly funny, the UK version has a lot more cringe-based humor. The US version can be very in-your-face with its humor, while the UK version can be a lot more subtle. I don't necessarily think one is in any way better than the other, you can't really compare them when they're completely different styles of humor. I will credit the UK version for laying the ground-work essentially crafting the formula of The Office that the US version did justice. There's also a weird sense of nostalgia looking back to the early 2000s with the UK version I don't feel with the US version.

Oh man, u seriously need to watch it. It’s only 2 seasons and a Xmas special. Much much better than us office.

Yes thats Mckenzie Crook who was in Pirates of the Caribbean, 2:23 to 3:03 is a young Olivia Colman whom won a Golden Globe in 2018 or 2019.

You need to watch full episodes of The Office to truly appreciate the genius.

Great reaction, loved it 👏

2:50 you are correct. Mackenzie Crook is his name. Peace!

Friday Night Dinner is very good too

There’s some scenes missing from this video I think - the one that stands out in my memory is the scene where David is listing cities he could move on to when he’s finished with slough. I seem to remember that scene being quite high up in that KZfaq video

You realise The Office (UK) is the original? And that Ricky Gervais, the creator of The Office basically created the US The Office, and is one of the main writers? Also surprised you didn't notice Martin Freeman (the Hobbit).

YES it's the guy from pirates of the Caribbean

Holy shit! That is the guy from “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Nice catch...

I love The Office as a series. It's up there with alan partridge, blackadder and the day today. I also love the US office. However, it';s a very different program. The UK stuff seem to have a purpose; a start and and end. The US stuff is very much a factory of entertainment; get a formula and churn it out until the figures drop. Then finish the show. simples.

You're not going to get these if you've never seen the UK office before.

After you mentioned you both work at Walmart, all the (doubles of) toys and collectibles in the background makes sense. As much as it must suck working there, you guys must get first dibs on all the incoming stock.

Seriously, YES! I am sure you will love the series. I think it is way funnier than the US version. Cheers!

Obviously coming from the UK I love the original office. It’s what introduced me to Gervais and Merchant. And Freeman. But I have to say The US Office is part of our daily routine, we love it. The characters are amazing and once the first few episodes were out the way, they found their way. The actors themselves are now amazing to me - just like Gervais etc. Steve, Rainn, John, Jenna, everybody.. well done to Greg Daniels for being brave enough to take the conversion on. The US Office is a Tv classic.

That laugh cracks me up

What a strange collection of clips, doesn't do the show justice at all.

McKenzie Crook was in 'Pirates' he's also in a fantastic comedy series called ' The Detectorists'...

The Office UK is a must watch...but no more Highlights Guys you are ruining it for yourselves...enjoy it's Brilliant :)

The UK original is just way more subtle and realistic. The US version is way more sitcom'y and feel-good. Both excellent shows though!

Mackenzie Crook (Garath) also played Orwell in Game of Thrones

The office has very niche humour, special to the UK, our humour is often dark/dry/sarcastic. To fully understand the role each character plays, especially Brent, you would have to watch the whole show.

This video really only works as a funny complilation if you're already pretty familiar with the show and have watched it. Since the vast majority of the jokes and funny moments in the Office rely almost entirely on context and the awkwardness.

Correct - Mckenzie Crooke was in Pirates of the Caribbean. And Martin Freeman - Frodo in the Hobbit.

Please please, react to Extras, Ricky Gervais finest hours.

Not even the best clips. You'll love the full episodes guys. X

I am gobsmacked that someone thought t it would be a good idea to subtitle the punchline before the joke is told.

BRITISH COMEDY RULES!!!

All Ricky Gervais shows are brilliant: The Office, Extras, Afterlife...

Heat of the night

So much of those will be a lot funnier now that you have seen it and really understand the characters

There are very big differences between between American and British comedy. We find awkwardness, empty silences and sarcasm/cringe hilarious. I dont think some of these transcend very well over the pond. Especially not to the US Office. They are really different programmes. Things like Inbetweeners is very British but also quite straight forward. Say with Friends, no one in England who has any sort of 'street cred' would admit to liking it as its too staged. When The Office first came out there were vast proportions of the country that didnt know if it was a comedy. It was so subtle. Eye movemts, the way the cameras are subtly changing their angles , the sarcasm the sheer desperation of Brent wanting to be loved. We all relate to characters like that. Loving you are doing the whole reaction to British humour. Its really interesting to see what you guys think is funny compared to us. My advice is watch it all. Especially not reading the so called punchline before the clip is over. Sorry for the waffle i am sooo precious of The Office as I am Peep Show. You also need to watch that but not sure what you will think

I think The Office is the best show the UK has produced in the last 25 years, it took me a few watches to fully appreciate too, Extras is another fantastic show once you get to know the characters... Think that's Stephen Merchants biggest talent, writing that makes you feel comfortable the whole time... Never a line out of place of filler for no reason

It’s not “the uk office” it’s the office. Yours is the “us office”. We made it first

American networks have bought the rights to many British sitcoms over the years, with varying degrees of success. The Office is obviously one of the great success stories, along with All in the Family ('Til Death Us Do Part) and Sanford & Son (Steptoe & Son). A notable failure is Fawlty Towers, the subject of three failed attempts at a US remake. Only one made it to a pilot, I think. John Cleese tells the story of one attempt in which 'only one thing' was changed from the original: Basil had been written out. When Cleese heard that, he thought that everything he'd ever heard about Americans was right.

Please do a reaction to Derek outtakes , Ricky gervais . I think you’ll love it! . Love watching your vids btw, you both have an awesome sense of humour 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

9:21 I like the guy reacting to the video because he understands the humour and how Ricky is playing someone who is also a bit of an idiot himself and sort of plays along with the other guy (whilst thinking he’s more important because of his job description).

You need to watch Mortimarian Times Would i lie to you. The comedian is Bob Mortimer and the game show is on their turn, they read a breif story about themselves and the others have to guess if it's true by asking questions. It's so funny you'll laugh your socks off 😂

at 4:59 it's funnier than you guys realized, he actually says MRS Sidney Poitier!!! hahaha

I can't stand to watch The Office because it's too true to life. It's like watching a horror movie.

I see others have pointed out the problems with these clips. In some cases, particularly the Oggy Oggy one, they actually cut off the punchline. After the stupid rhyme, Tim asks about Oggy. and the UK version of the show is about the awkwardness, so the uncomfortable silences are funny in themselves, it's weird if they are cut out. YOu should just try and watch the whole show. It;s only 12 episodes and a Christmas special.

Agree that some of the punchlines were cut from the clips. One of the funniest things I've seen on TV was the "office appraisal", where david brent gives keith his appraisal. There's a short clip on this, On par with the sheriff scene from Silver Streak. The UK and US versions are different, so it's best not to compare like for like. The US version is a comedy series set in an office whereas the UK one is a spoof documentary, very dry and if you are not tuned in you would miss most of the jokes. Us Brits say we should have included a few custard pies in faces for the Australians to laugh at.

Ricky Gevais is a genius!!!

Also. The Office came along time before the Inbetweeners and trail blazed the way.

It doesn’t help they put the punch lines on the scenes.the office uk is genius. I cried at the last episode, its just so real lol

You guys need to check out the UK series 'Friday Night Dinners' it stars Simon Bird from The Inbetweeners

yeh he is Pirates of the Carribean (blonde guy with bowl cut .....and thats a Bristol accent he has...for reference)

❤ You lot

Please react to "Bottom" or "The Young Ones" with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson.

Def watch the UK version. It's much funnier than these edited clips. Ricky Gervais' character, David Brent, is much more cringe-worthy than Michael Scott. The US version was really good after season 1 but you need to see the UK version (It's only two seasons but that's how they do shows over there. They know from the get-go it's selling going to be two seasons).

You need to watch the whole thing to get where the jokes are coming from. I'm from the UK and I'm gonna be controversial here but I prefer the US version. Purely based on the fact that it went on for much longer and you got to really know the characters. Both are pure joy.

The Office(UK) is the greatest comedy ever made. But you have to watch it from the start (and maybe use subtitles if you're American).

yea he drinks

I don’t think the Uk version is better it’s just different. The humour is more brutal and at times it can be painful to watch but it is very clever and insightful. The US version is more immediately funny and the characters are a little more likeable. I think most people like Michael but very few people would admit to liking David Brent. I’ve never worked in the US so I don’t know how realistic it is but what is painful as well as funny is how true to life the UK version is.

You should try bill bailey- laminated book of dreams

Yeah the blonde guy was in pirates and you get to see Martin Freeman the Hobbit obviously Ricky aswell you might recall a certain golden globes where Ricky taken the piss out of Steve carrell for the us office great times haha enjoy.... Diff vid Al Murray on stage character is the pub landlord so he acts like he knows it all and off stage he is a well educated man and does shows on the history channell

oggy oggy oggy is a old Welsh war cry

You guys need to have a look at Peep Show. I think you'd enjoy it.

Oggy the Ogg minster is your best buddy Stephen Merchant actually!

You can tell you're American cos I pissed myself at these lol

It's superior in the sense that it hit a very specific nerve. In terms of entertainment value I wouldn't call it superior. Just different. US = warm and cuddly, UK = bleak and depressing. Both beautiful in their own right.

They’ve cut out the embarrassing silences which makes the speaking bits funny.

The Office is better than the Inbetweeners, there's a lot more subtlety in a lot of what happens in The Office. They never (Or at least very rarely) have a big slapstick physical moment, that is exactly the essence of the series, the fact that they are meant to be real people being filmed for a BBC documentary on Office life.....That I think is where the American Office fails in that it breaks rank with the constraints of reality.

I’m from the UK and I prefer the American office especially the fire alarm scene

The UK office is the best

I love to original office because it more reliable and should dark humour.

You should watch the whole series.

Oops, wrong Office.

I'll probably get shot, but - as a British citizen - I do prefer the American office. I'm not saying I don't like the British office, I just find myself caring more about the characters in the American office than I do the British office.

This show is all about context . If I haven't watched this 20 times or so this would not be very funny

That compilation video doesn’t do The Office UK justice. The cuts were terrible.

this video is not doing the scenes justice, guys! you have to watch it properly to get it. hope you are both well & doing great.

Wait! I’ve just seen you haven’t done any of the office!!!?😨 what the hell is going on!?...

The original Office. Quality, not quantity. You absolutely must watch it.

React to Brandon Rogers the office please

You do know the uk version is the original and Ricky pretty much cast Steve carrell I’m the us version

did you guys watch the uk office? if you did what did you think?

Watch the outtakes

I'd say this clip hasn't really captured what the series is all about. you need the minute before, and more crucially the minute after the line is delivered to get a better grasp of the context. Where The Office is concerned, it's only a 'one liner' if you already know the context.

I've watched both the Offices and I have to say I keep going back to the US version and re-watching it. I think i'm on my third time now....love it even after Steve Carell left.

Watch the office bloopers

The US office is good but the UK one is much better

Definitely not the top 25 but I guess the guy who made it thought they were

The original
