Can people stop comparing to The Office?


Why does every show have to be 'show name' but like 'another show name.' Just watch shows for what they are and stop comparing. Is it good or is it bad? Not, is it as good as or not as good as.

Cause it's similar to the office.

In filming style

Gracias. ??

Ignore the question marks. ?I want to listen to that song. It's catchy.

Because it's more like The Office than the American remake of The Office. It's distracting from what could be some decent bits.

reply

People won't stop comparing it to The Office cause it's a blatant rip-off of The Office. Worthy of plagiarism charges. Pathetic really in its ability to feel so hackneyed.

I agree nothing like the office aside from the filming style that is of a documentary

Not to compare, but who's hotter: Dawn, Pam, or Andy?

They even hired an actress who looks almost exactly like Jenna Fisher. It's clearly the same exact format as the Office. I mean, they could of done something to the effect of it's the same documentary production team and then did something a little more original. I mean I like this show, but it's practically exactly like the Office so I don't think people will stop comparing them.

You do know that there was a UK version of Office before the American one with Jenna Fisher, right? You do know that there were movies like Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, A Mighty Wind, This Is Spinal Tap, The Ruttles, as well as television shows like The Trailer Park Boys and many many more mockumentaries before this show right? Are you also aware that they are spoofing a UK reality type show that took place at London/Luton airport where Easyjet flies from? Because if not maybe you should do a little research before you reference the one and only show you've seen.

I think everyone knows the original office was based in the UK but Andy looks like Pam (Jenna) not Dawn.

I also know about Modern Family, Parks & Recreation, and Reno 911. Mockumentary format for television has been pretty standard since the turn of the century.

No, I'm not in merry old England and I didn't know about the easyjet-airport show. There's probably a similar documentary in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. So what?

Andy and Tariq like each other but they're too spineless to say so. The office, er wing, is filled with a bunch of dorks who take personal breaks to tell the documentary crew about their lame personal lives.

I don't know why you came here to troll me specifically because you didn't make an argument, but thanks for the attention. I like winning. Have a great day!
