The eternal questions:
When it rains, why don’t sheep shrink?
If you’re driving at the speed of light and turn your headlights on, what happens?
When French people swear, do they say, “pardon my English?”
Why is the word abbreviation so long?
Which Office is better? BBC or NBC?
I am a HUGE, HUGE fan of The Office. I started watching the first season of the NBC Office in the first season during the Christmas Party episode. Classic stuff.
During the summer I borrowed the complete set of the original BBC version of The Office. It’s much different, but brilliant.
So, I’ve been wrestling with the 8th Wonder of the World; which one is the best?
So, here’s how I broke it down.
Ricky Gervais as David Brent VS. Steve Carell as Michael Scott
Winner: Ricky Gervais. Hands-down one of the most brilliant comedians/writers alive. His role as David Brent is the definition of comedic genius. I love Carell, but it would unfair to pit anyone against Gervais in this role.
Martin Freeman as Tim Canterbury VS. John Krasinski as Jim Halpert
Winner: Martin Freeman. Again, not a fair comparison. You know the camera stare that Jim does? He stole that from Martin. Tim Canterbury is an epic character. He originated the role and unfortunately John is just an imitation of Martin.
Lucy Davis as Dawn Tinsley VS. Jenna Fischer as Pam Beesly
Winner: Jenna Fischer. The NBC’s first win! I find Jenna’s character to be much more clever and a bit more endearing. I don’t think they really did all they could do to develop Dawn’s character throughout the series. Pam’s character has been consistent and plays a much bigger role in the series, in my opinion.
