David's monologue about being asked to be the godfather of a young greek employee's child was fantastic.
Then stupid writers decided "hey lets take that wonderful, hilarious quote and americanize it".  So they did.  Changed greek to mexican and added crap into the monologue somehwere.  It was horrible. 


by far?

The USA Office didn't win an Emmy for nothingConfused

That's for damn sure.  That big inflatable appendage that Tim got for a birthday gift?  You'll never see that on NBC.  LOL

I think the character Dwight on the USA version is simply one of the best characters EVER. LOL

I just watched the first season of the British version on DVD last night.  I think it was better, but only slightly (this was after hearing from multiple friends that it was vastly superior).  I guess I'm sort of lukewarm on both versions - they have their laugh-out-loud moments, but certainly not the funniest things I've seen on TV.
