"Why?"

[Copper Feel 0]

What is up with this recent trend of making American versions of quality British tv shows? First The Office, now The I.T Crowd, why not leave wonderful things untampered?

What's up with us already having hundreds of better television shows?

Your opinion of Steve Coogan and Chris Morris?

I don't think the fact that America stole Britain's worst show exactly works in its favour!

You know, I actually do quite like British television, but I've got to say the American version of The Office is better. That's about the only instance where it was improved.

Ah, I far prefer the British version but the American one isn't too bad. I think I'm just a repressed nationalist deep down inside. This fact saddens me greatly.

I liked the UK Office well enough, but I'm just a big dumb American, so "yeah, I drove into a fucking lake" is more my thing.

The American version of The Office is better due to the fact it doesn't have Ricky Gervais in it.

One funny (in a cringing sort of way) thing AI started is that it's apparently now a prerequisite that every single American "talent competition" show's judging panel include a smarmy Englishman

"THAT AIN'T TRUE!"

 

No, Mike Gundy, it is true! Even that stupid Try Out For Grease show had some foppish dandy goin' "if Sandy and Danny are not perfect, the show will fail." I don't get it.

I would have just went ahead and said "dandy fop" instead of "foppish dandy".

[Guest Gym Class Fallout]

I had an Onion calendar that had an article about a "foppish dandy" before I saw the Mr. Show episode "The Velveteen Touch of a Dandy Fop," so that's what always comes to mind first. Weird explanation, but it's an explanation.

 

I was gonna make a Mike Gundy gimmick poster that just went around pointing out falsehoods on the board, but it wouldn't have been approved, and I'd have just run it into the ground after two days, anyway.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Let the gimmick live inside your current poster persona, Czech. It's much the same as I do with The Picture That Defines The Internet, although I mainly use that as a thread stopper.

This series should continue with the next installment: Carlito Brigante.

This was just kind of a joke, no real intention of doing a follow-up. I was thinking of doing a new (1 part) series questioning the whereabouts of EL DANDY~! though.
