Just watched two episodes of the US version of The Office for the first time ever.
I was all set to get indie on it's ass, to be all like, 'No way is this better than the original', but...
...it's actually really funny. Really funny. Not as good as the original, but that's because it's a different kind of beast. More noticeably scripted, sure, but the one-liners are snappier.
This had me in stitches:
Michael/U.S. Brent: "Pam (?) I saw Angelina Jolie on Oprah, and she was talking about how she's adopted a little African baby, and it totally changed her life. So what I want is for you to look into how I could adopt a little...a little Chinese baby, or something."
Now off to watch Newswipe! Hooray for unemployment!
