veronica 2 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I hope it's funny like the Office. But those clips don't give much away do they? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I think there's a lot of people looking forward to this one. As Ricky said himself there some silly media are already calling it something like a 'disappointing follow-up'. It sure has a lot to live up to. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Shows how easy Brent must have been for him to "act"... Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 The Office will be shown on Wowow starting in a few weeks - with Japanese subtitles. It will be interesting to see how it translates. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I would imagine it's very difficult to translate and be funny. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I read the first review of Extras in Q Mag last night - they gave it 5 stars (out of 5) and said besically that it's excellent. (They said that about Oasis CD Be Here Now though, so not sure how much to believe them ) Link to post Share on other sites

Karnidge 2 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 The Japanese subtitles on the Office really were not funny. I watched with a Japanese friend who was watching it going "eh!?". Untranslatable really, should have known. Funny at the beginning there was a "Warning" - not sure exactly what it said but something along the lines of "This is unedited British humour so it might be a bit offensive. But don't get angry, laugh instead" Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Seen the first two now. Hmmm. Sporadically funny, but a bit disappointing on first viewing - kinda like "is that it?" when the closing credits came up. The 2nd one was better than the first. May hold up better on repeat viewings..... Link to post Share on other sites
Noriko-sensei 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I watched some of Office on wowow tv channel. It was curious program maybe suited to English style humor and I don't understand that so much. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I have a sort of morbid fascination with someone who is so obnoxious, but I don't find it funny. But then only about 10% of Monty Python was funny. The rest was crap. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Last nights was quite funny, the 3rd one it was with Kate Winslet as the sukebe nun. You can see David Brent in this new character. It's almost a "subdued David Brent doing acting". Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I saw the one on Thursday as well, I thought it was quite funny. Is it like that every week just in a different "set"? Link to post Share on other sites
A lawyer 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Got sent the first one and wasn't impressed. It seemed really slow and, boring even. Not too many laughs. Much more subtle than Office. Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I've seen 2 and I like what I've seen. The one with Kate Winslet in was the better of the two. It'll be interesting to see the next character he does, and if thats much different from this and Brent. Link to post Share on other sites
