OKay, my opinion is that in season 1, the British version was better. There was actually something witty about it- Ricky Gervais isn't over the top like Steve Carrell, so the British office worked better for conveying the horror of office life. It had more believable situations- people said things and reacted in ways that were less ridiculous, and that edge-of-plausibility is what made it painful, yet funny. You actually can envision a manager reacting like him, being utterly clueless about why people are reacting to his social gaffes. Like the scene in the pilot where they tell Pam she's fired for stealing- it's much better in the British version.
By season 2- the American version wins out, with Steve Carrell's goofiness bulldozing any semblance of reality.

I enjoy them both, but prefer the American version, nothing wrong with the British one, just a different sense of humor

U.S.!
I just watched some of the British version, and I don't like it NEARLY as much as the U.S. I guess it just depends on which you saw first!

I love them both. The characters are all very likable and hilarious. I hate these which are better games. I am so indecisive.
