The Milner Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I've never heard that about twitter, but while it's a stupid sentiment it is a good way for celebrities to gain fans among people who may not have liked them otherwise. Ricky Grevais, for example. I thought he was a ballsack and hated him in everything I had seen him in, but a few re-tweets appeared on my twitter of him being funny, I followed him and am now don't think he's a ballsack, I just thought the UK Office was shit. It's generally good for would-be comedians/comedy writers to drum up interest in their work.I think facebook is a more "powerful tool" (#dickjoke) though when it comes to promoting gigs and events on a smaller, more local scale.xxWell thats another reason for me to hate it, it makes you think Rick Gervais is funny.If it was just a site for promoting stuff then i prob wouldnt hate it as much, but from what i gather thats a small part of it, the rest is knobbers telling people there are having a half chicken@nando's, who fucking cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flights Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree with the office being shit. Ricky Gervias is about as funny as a bin bag caught on a fence.Another thing I dislike about social networking on a whole is when peoples posts get read out on the news.The newsreader is always clueless and says things like'Tweeters took to Twitter to voice their opinions on David Blunketts outburst'. I can't wait to hear Trevor McDonald say 'one user xoxoonickibabbezzxoxo was quoted saying 'ZOMG blind gui bbq # bNp4lyfe# @jennidollxoxo12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsinho Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Shitloads of really funny people use twitter to be funny (our very own Waltz and Nef C are both good fun on there). I enjoy being able to read the funny things that they think of and choose to share. The best part is that I get to follow the people that I think are funny regardless of whether other people I know agree with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Gervais' comedy work is balls, but he tweets poking fun and these ultra-fundamentalist fuckwits on twitter, and it's funny.The US Office is great. I think the UK one is shit.Wanna fight about it? I'll fucking fight you all!#internethardmanxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 it's not "the UK one" it's just THE OFFICE.Best British comedy ever and that wont change no matter how much shit Gervais comes out with in the rest of his career.Unless someone makes a better one of course.

The Milner Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm with you two, UK office was rubbish, Gervais is a bellend and not funny at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I prefer the US one, but I don't really think of them as being the same at all, other than sitcoms set in an office. It went completely in it's own direction by season 2. There are similarities between Gervais and Carell, in how insular and obnoxious they are, but that's about it. I like the original Office too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm on the same page as Joe there, I think the US and UK versions share little similarity other than the setting and the title. I suppose it'd be more accurate to term them The Office and The US Office or something, but I refer you to my previous invitation to violence if you disapprove of how I conduct my rolling.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Best British comedy everHang on, hang on!!Dont insult Only Fools and Horses or Fawlty Towers or any of the other brilliant old uk comedy shows by even suggesting the office was half as good.

Paranoid Android Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Office is better than both. Quite easily in my opinion.I do love Only fools... though and Fawlty Towers is alright but I always found it over rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sorry but thats one of the most controversial things i have ever read on the interwebz, The Office isnt even close to being as funny, not even to the worst Only Fools and Horses episode. Thankfully history will agree with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
