The Red(collars) versus the Yanks

I squealed with delight last week when I noticed Ricky Gervais's face as an icon for an episode of The Office on my DVR... literally- squealed- out loud. Turns out the Brit episodes have made an American debut on Adult Swim. Oh happy day! This has prompted me to record my stream of consciousness comparison of my favorite comdedic show and share it with my blessed readers... enjoy! This list will likely grow and change over time like my check back again and again if you're nearly as obsessed as I am.

Round 1: David Brent v. Michael Scott
=Os I love Ricky Gervais and Steve Corelle equally (side note: I can quickly remember "Michael" and Ricky's names, but had to think a bit for "David" and Steve)
+BO David is a more of a badass/sinner... he doesn't just always play up silly stuff- he really does some hard stuff
-BO David's humor is more mean spirited
I see David as
+AO Michael Scott
***Winner*** Tie... how can you choose between the two most hilarious characters invented.

Round 2: Tim v. Jim
+BO Tim's pranks are much better and more frequent
+AO I think Jim is every red blooded American girls dream, plus he has had so much nerve in pursing Pam... I love that he just keeps on putting it all out there
***Winner*** Jim!

Round 3: Dawn v. Pam Beasley
***Winner*** Pam (but I think Dawn is more "real")

Round 4: Garreth Keenan v. Dwight Schrute
-BO Garreth is actually quite dull
+BO Garreth's character is intense which makes me love him(awkwardly)
+AO Dwight is great because he is totally spontaneous
+AO 2 words: BEET FARMER
***Winner*** Dwight

Round 5: Lesser charachters
-BO As there were very episodes of the English office charachter development suffered a bit
+AO I can see myself in every single Scrantonite. I've got an Accounting/people-hating Angela side, I can be clueless, goofy, and hungry like Kevin, I find myself sticking my foot in my mouth like Michael, the alcoholic grandmother began just like Merideth, Kelly and I could've a helluva snarky gossip boy crazed d-hall dinner together at Berry... you get the picture
+AO Every Scranton employee lends a necessary and
***Winner*** Scranton!

Round: Theme song
+EO Love Handbags and Gladrags!
+EO My idol Rod Stewart has a version of the song
