User blog comment:UpperEastSociety/The Office UK vs. US/@comment-31282641-20170211163658

The UK version may be the "original," but in my opinion it is completely different than the US version. There are many things to love about both. Personally I prefer the US version, mainly because I live here, and can relate to the humor better. One thing I could never get over in the UK version is Ricky Gervaise. Yes, he can be screamingly funny, but I can never get over the fact of what a loathsome person he is in "real life."
