I have yet to find the US version of The Office has lost any of it's charm and ability to produce contextual facepalm slap injuries (I prefer it to the original series).
In The Loop was ok but The Thick Of It is painfully funny in the same toe curling 'I can't believe they just did that' sort of way.
Malcolm Tucker is the world's second funniest comedy bully (next to Jamie McDonald in the same show who is even more hilariously aggressive).
