    I love both. UK's quality all the way through while US had a few peaks but also a lot of dud seasons.

    I do however revisit the US version a lot more. The replay-ability of seasons one to five is off the charts.

    UK version was very boring, and I love Gervais as a comedian. I watched it through and it never pulled me in like the US version. This argument is usually"hipsterish" because the UK did it first.

    UK version can be so hard to watch sometimes
    I think the US version appeals to more people though

    UK version isn't hard to watch at all. It's awkward humour at it's best.

    I liked the UK version but Michael Scott and Dwight K. Schrute are pure gold.

    the original was a really good show but what Carell did with his character is just outstanding

    also Jim and Pam love story is awesome (I can relate to it a lot haha)
    and Dwight:banderas:

    Michael Scott and Dwight are the best characters and super awkward though...It's just a humor culture barrier I think

    US version is the most replayable and quotable show of all time for me. Nothing makes me laugh more even on the 100th time through. First 7 seasons are classic to me; season 8 is pretty good; season 9 has its s-----y stuff like the Jim/Pam/boom mic guy s--- but even that has some great laughs in every episode.

    I have only seen about half of the UK eps, it was pretty funny from what I remember though.

    I'm Aussie as well and like the U.S. version better :)

    U.S. had way more seasons enabling it 2 make the show have more depth and storyline unlike the UK version which felt like a mini series despite being the original
