Sorry, but anyone who thinks they can make the claim that they are smarter than someone else based on their preference for a fucking TV show is clearly the most ignorant of the whole bunch, especially given your woeful posting style - I won't insult your grammar and sentence structure since this is the internet and people are lazy, but it doesn't exactly yell out, "Brilliant guy here!"

Yes, you are an elitist prick, you got that part right.


Most of the rest of your post is just convoluted babbling that no one gives a shit about. I suspect you just like to hear yourself type. But I have a few more responses.

This is all opinion, and it is also all wrong. lol
Of course, I am operating on only one episode of the BBC version, but that episode was inferior IMO to every single episode of the US Office.
At least you admit that the BBC version is not funnier than the US. Or rather, you don't claim that it is funnier.

I thought you said you were smart? Of course we can argue it. And it's nothing even remotely similar to science. Yeah, I'm just being argumentative now.
Anyway, I think the US version is not only far funnier, but also far more compelling in its relationships (Pam and Jim > whoever they were). Although the episode I saw did not really have much drama in it at all, so maybe that wasn't a good gauge.

Never saw it. Maybe this would have been the one to catch.

>originals...do you really think that?

No, I think you probably like a show that appeals to you, and nothing's wrong with that. I don't have this disdain for UK Office fans that you seem to have for fans of the US version. I'm bigger than that. You like it, you watch it. It doesn't matter to me if you're missing out on a better show in the US version.


>That we, the large and
>vocal majority,

On OKP maybe. Not in the real world. I know 2 people in real life who like the BBC version. Almost everyone I know who's around my age (29) watches the US version and loves it. Vocal majority? Only on OKP.


only "say" we like it because we just have to
>hate on the American show and argue with its fans? Do you
>really?

No, I don't really think that. I just think you're missing out on a better show.


That just smacks of such low self esteem and such high

Sounds familiar. I typically don't insult people whose opinions differ from mine, but that seems to be your style.
For instance, "anyone who likes the US version more than the UK is less intelligent than me" - that's arrogant, ridiculous, and a whole host of other things that I don't feel like typing because my dinner is ready.

Regardless of which show is better, you are a huge asshole.
