walshie 2,804 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 They say some things don't translate well, and this is a definite example. The yanks haven't even tried to make it their own, just repeating word for word the English version. Same characters, same words, just not the slightest bit funny. The episode I watched last night was one of my faves, where Simon spews on his girlfriend's little brother. The English version makes me cry with laughter every time, but this USA version just had me thinking WTF? Americans - leave the English humour to the English. You f*cked up The Office too.

Milwr Jr. 99 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 They don't seem to understand British humor. They've attempted to copy our shows a thousand times over, and the result is usually the same: utter crap. The Americans should stick to making shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, The Walking Dead etc. Let the British focus on making funny series'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
