Rubbish,
the office was brilliant writing, there was nothing like it on TV at the time, and it was seriously smart, embarrassing and very funny.

Fucking hell
I agree wholesale. In fact that's exactly how I'd put it. What the hell's going on?

it was clever
but I'm with Vipros on the idea that Gervais is just naturally a massive cunt and that was what gave the show it's edge- the fact it wasn't acting/a script but a genuine arsehole

I think my overwhelming dislike of Gervais has skewed my opinion somewhat
I find everything about him objectionable.

The idea behind the Office and a lot of how it was executed was very good, I just can't stand him. At all.

try the American office, it has Steve Carrell in it :D
*disclaimer - I haven't seen either version so I can't compare the two.

the american one isn't actually too bad
it's different in that the manager guy is just completely stupid rather than horribly obnoxious.
