The Office: Quiz

You know, it's actually pretty dull. It's not low key; it's below low key. Most of the time, it falls off the low-key chart. And it's the same quiet, awkward mood over and over again. Not half as bad as Frisky Dingo, but it still hits that quietly awkward note too many times in a row. But it's just interesting enough that I'll keep on watching.

Which is good, since one of my possibly favorite episodes is on this friday. It's amazing.

For the first two episodes I could see that. The third kicked it up a few notches AFAIC.

The ending of this episode kills me every time I see it.

Yeah, not too many laugh out loud moments, mostly just long, awkward pauses. I, too will keep watching, though...

Also, Finch is a huge douche...

Finch is the ultimate douche, especially in this episode. On the American Office they tried giving him an equivalent with the character of Todd Packer, but I can't remember the last time they brought him on.

The fact that you insulted Frisky Dingo makes opinions null and void.

I have enjoyed watching the differences between the English Office vs. the American Office. I will keep watching... Gareth is much creepier than Dwight ever could be! I think the English Office brings  DRY to a whole new level! It's great!

The understatedness appeals to me.  The character's personalities kind of "creep" up on the viewer, as opposed to the immediacy and more overt nature of the American version.  I think that quality contributes to the differences between Dwight and Gareth.
