@JacobPaul432@TheCinesthetic The pilots are “almost identical” and yet are chalk and cheese as the style is completely different. Gervais himself has said it.
If you can’t see the difference in the two then you are unable to engage in any serious conversation about tv.
@JacobPaul432@TheCinesthetic The UK office is the greatest show ever made, with peep show coming second hilarious, dead pan sarcastic.
I actually really like Brooklyn 99 too even though it’s the same type of “silly humour” as the office, so it’s not the style, I just think it’s crap. Subjectively.
@ezeh8_8@Fluffy_product@TheCinesthetic Fair comments.
Subjectively, I have tried to watch so many of them and have not so much as cracked a smile.
So for me I absolutely do not think they are classics.
@JacobPaul432@TheCinesthetic The whole show is based around slapstick caricatures of office stereo types, there is nothing high brow about it at all.
Listen each to their own, taste is subjective. But objectively the show is not high brow.
@JacobPaul432@TheCinesthetic Ok so I think you are joking, the clip I just saw was the black guy having a heart attack while they are all screaming over a fake fire? Real high brow stuff!
@JacobPaul432@TheCinesthetic Hahah is that satire?
I don’t like big bang or two and a half men because they are stupid and slap stick, the exact same as the office.
There is no dead pan at all? Dropping things and screaming and having a heart attack is not dead pan high brow 🤣
