HILARIOUS.

and this is from a die-hard NBC Office fan who still re-watches saved episodes every couple of days

I do think the supporting cast in the NBC version is better developed (I've only seen Season 1 of the BBC though) and I like Jim + Pam better than Tim + Dawn

but Ricky Gervais is fucking brilliant - I was crying at the part with the guitar

all that said (and I know this is a dead horse), I still can't see how fans of the American version don't like the UK version...and vice-versa.

Michael Scott and David Brent are both incredibly funny and the comedic timing is nearly exactly the same (Kevin is great but Keith sucks...WTF?)

most of the same plotlines too

I love both.
