I live in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Before the show started, John Krasinski came to Scranton. The videos in the intro, the locations they talk about, and background things on the walls and their cubicles are all local. When the show ended, the entire cast came to Scranton, and there was a weekend party here to celebrate The Office. People still come to Scranton to find the locations they spoke about and visit The Office gift shops.

This first season is heavily based on UK Series 1 but season 2 they started down their own path. Very much a "heavily inspired by" the original, but Michael Scott is brilliant - Steve Carell never watched the Office UK because he didn't want to just imitate David Brent.

Another American sitcom I would highly recommend is Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia

BJ Novak who plays the temp worker in this episode, was a main writer and executive producer for the show. He went to high school with Krasinski, who was thinking of quitting acting just before he signed onto the show. And now he's married to Emily Blunt. That's a going a long way.

I was reading a book about Hitler and the people around him recently. One of them, Martin Borrman, gave himself his own title of "Assistant Fuhrer" and as soon as I read that I immediately went, "Assistant TO the Fuhrer."

“‘You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.’ - Wayne Gretzky” - Michael Scott

Steve Carrell is so hilarious and will make you cringe in this show, but his real genius is that even with all the awful things he says and does, he will make you care about Michael Scott.

Keep watching it gets better each season

Arrested development also sooo good lol

This is one of the tamer episodes so if you laughed this much on the pilot youre gna be in tears the rest of the way lol

This was really fun. I've watched this show so many times but it's still funny after all this time. So glad you enjoyed it

Great show. So many memorable moments. The whole cast just really works so well together.

I’ve never seen someone from UK reacting to the US version. This is amazing! Im so excited. I hope you continue to enjoy it.😊

I just started watching this again myself and I'll tell you it just gets better and better. I'm at season 4 and it's the best it's been so far! Keep watching!

The Office and Ted Lasso are my top two shows of all time. Love that I’m getting to watch them along with two first time viewers. The Office has the greatest ensemble characters of any sitcom imo, enjoy the ride.

I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, but there was a huge resurgence of this show in the last 10 years. So much so that people almost rioted when it was going to be taken off Netflix. It became huge on streaming with junior high students (12-15 year olds) who watch it over and over like comfort watching. You’d see a resurgence of T-shirts and Office merch at stores like Hot Tooic. My boys both had Dunder Mifflin Paper Company T-shirts in jr high. There are a couple of The Office rewatch podcasts hosted by cast members, and it’s been discussed that they faced a whole other level of notoriety amongst teenagers. My kids are young adults and they will still have The Office playing on their phones in the background at times. Total nostalgia comfort watching for them. And another point about this first episode, it’s basically the exact same script as the first episode of the British office, just with some British-isms swapped out for American-isms.

I LOVE that you guys are doing this. I love this show! The guy you thought you recognized is John Krasinski, he's married to Emily Blunt... he did A Quiet Place, Jack Ryan, 13 Hours and Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness. Sidenote: My dad went to high school with Steve Carrell, he's an absolutely lovely man in real life. He's so normal, kind, and genuinely, side splittingly funny when you chat with him.

Love that y'all are consistently pumping out solid content! ❤

man you guys are in for some great watches. once you get through the first 3 or so episodes of season 1, the next 4-5 seasons are fantastic

Steve Carrell playing Micheal Scott is without a doubt the finest comedic character acting the world has ever produced. It only improves from this point forward and it drives this show and the other characters to some incredibly hilarious moments. Priceless

Definitely do the whole series! One of the best sitcoms of all time. Gets way better season 2👍🏼

OMG I can't WAIT until you guys get to the "Stress Relief pt1" episode. I still cry laughing from that one every time!

Some of the greatest cold opens of all time as well came from this show

I'll watch to the end with y'all as long as you keep uploading!

I love that you guys are reacting to The Office. Its my soul food show.

Demo your Tenn Vols are the #1 overall seed in the college baseball playoffs. Started Fri ...

So glad to see this. I love both versions of the office. This series was amazing. It is still one of the highest streamed series globally. And there is a reboot coming, but not with the original cast. Greg Daniels who created the American version is doing the reboot. The Office Ladies podcast with Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey is wonderful. This show was lightning in a bottle. So many amazing things lined up. it really is very special. In the opening credits, when you see the Scranton sign going by, John Krasinski shot that the day after he found out he got the role of Jim. He drove from New York to Scranton and filmed driving in. Greg Daniels saw the footage and bought it from him for the opening credits. All three of the people in the accounting department knew each other from doing improv, none of them knew the others had been cast until they saw each other the first day. There are so many special moments in front of the camera and behind the camera in this series. You are going to love it. And yes, it gets quite cringe and there is one episode that is universally considered the most cringe and many fans, including myself, cannot bear to watch it again lol.

Absolutely amazing show, it gets so much better after season 1 as well

Great reaction guys! This is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. Looking forward to watching along with you.

Great reaction, lads. So glad you're doing this. You're going to love this show. My personal favorite is the Jim (John Krasinski) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) relationship. It's the absolute best. The pranks alone will kill you. The show will be unrecognizable from "The Office" (UK) version soon.

It only gets better. I am envious.

Awesome! Was hoping you guys were gonna do this.

Excited you guys are reacting to this. The Jamie Kennedy Experiment was basically like Punk'd except Jamie Kennedy would dress up and stuff and actively participate on it, and it was just with regular people, not celebrities.

So ready for episode 2!!! One of the best

If I wasn't already subscribed I would do it again. Such a great series and hope guys stick with it because sadly The Office US version is notoriously hard to upload on youtube.

So excited for this journey!

Love it. After seeing the FNL reaction where The Office was in the background I had hoped you guys would do this!

great reaction guys!

Will there be Karate Kid and Cobra Kai reactions? Looking forward to your reaction journey with the US Office. 👍

glad u guys liked it. Looking forward to the other episodes. Subbing right now!

Everyone has worked in an office with one or more of these characters 😂😂😂 Solid Gold

As a Canadian I have seen this series a multiple of times , much more than I’ve seen the original this ones always a great watch! But I know a lot of my friends here don’t even know of the original British series

I'm American but would recommend a Canadian series if you haven't seen it "Corner Gas" from early 2000's. I find it to be hilarious.

I’m here for this!

This is great… just subscribed!

The US version got better after they got away from the original UK storyline. The characters were able to develop more.

Subscribed immediately because this is gold 😂

Honestly, pivoting to expand your channel is a good idea in my opinion. Only so many times you can react to someone throwing a football, you know?

Reacting to The Office just made me subscribe!

You guys need to react to the NBA playoffs this year, its been mental

i think the last jello prank with the mug is possibly the only prank he pulls on micheal scott lol

The Punk'd reference was awesome since BJ Novak (Ryan) used to work on Punk'd. The Jamie Kennedy Experiment was also a practical joke show

The GREATEST tv show ever made

This is a great idea ! Hope you watch the whole show. Also it’s always sunny in Philadelphia, I feel like that humor would send you guys falling outta those chairs

Love it!

Jamie Kennedy Experiment was epic.

I'm so glad you're doing this! I done care for sports, but I really like you guys. Your reaction videos are very good. Mind you, I love a good movie even if it is about sports. A League of Their Own is one of my favorites. (Have y'all seen that one?) I subscribed when y'all reacted to Moneyball, and I am LOVING your journey through Ted Lasso. That's such a good series! Keep it up!

Ryan the temp is played by BJ Novak, a writer for the show. A number of the writers act on the show, either in the main cast or background office workers.

Never heard of you guys before, but I'm glad I found your channel! Keep up the hard work and I hope yall have fun watching The Office U.S. and I'm curious what differences from the U.K. version yall see and enjoy!

Parks and Recreation is another really good comedy.

You've got a patreon sub from me as long as this series keeps coming. This show is VERY good when you properly watch it in order and take it all in (that's what she said).

oh my gosh I'm so annoyed I found this so early cause now I have to wait for each episode 😭

THE TEMP, IS A WRITER\PRODUCER ON SHOW!!😂

Seriously the best sitcom 😂

Many people have mentioned that BJ Novak who plays Ryan the temp is one of the writers (there are three cast members who are the main writers). Although she is not in this pilot episode, shout out to Mindy Kailing who plays Kelly. Mindy and BJ were the main writers and were producers. Mindy wrote more episodes than any other writer but often got overlooked in comparison to BJ back in the day. Her character was intentionally annoying and some people thought that might be part of the reason. It was also a surprise to many that she was as prolific a creator of the show as she was.

It only gets better:)

I can't wait to watch this with you. I don't know if you have access, but there are what they call "Superfan" episodes which contain the parts that were cut; maybe consider those at the end of each season??? Anyway, new subscriber, and I can't believe you hadn't been rec'd to me before. looking forward to this.

Episode 2 is goated.

YESSSS!!

I'm jealous you guys are watching this for the first time .. I love this show .. always leaves me in stitches. Well, gents, 1 down, 200 to go !

Over the next couple seasons the show gets better.

You guys should check out 2 TV shows from Canada. LETTERKENNY SHORESY I know for sure you'll love those comedies.

Hell yea I love brits starting to watch the US Office, it's so good!

The initially planned to have Michael Scott's character more like Ricky's version, where he's just an a-hole but people responded to the completely unaware version much more positively.

For the Brits Jim Halpert is Mr. Mary Poppins.

Cannae wait for your reaction to episode 2. Unlike this episode, that plot wasn't taken from the original version, but it was so funny/well received that it was adapted for the German version of The Office.

You guys would love Trailer Park Boys

I haven't watched either one, so this might inspire me to watch one of them 😉

You guys should also consider watching Parks & Recreation. It was created by the same guy who did the US Office and is set up in a mockumentary style as well.

The first couple episodes of the first season aren’t great but then it gets so good

3:40 John Krasinski is married to Emily Blunt and you probably saw him act and direct in A Quiet Place 1/2

First! Love the channel!

Recommendations: - PARKS AND REC - WORKAHOLICS

The king of queens !!! 🙌🙌 AMAZING comedy sitcom

I always much preferred the UK version but the US version had it's moments.

Season 2 of the US Office is when it gets good.

it was funny, and michael chilled out over time but looking back on it, the first season michael was no bueno, dude was just begging to be popped in the nose.

As I recall, The American Office didn't get great ratings its first season. They were copying the U.K. scripts and thought that the American sense of humor didn't quite jive with it. They started doing original scripts the second season and it took off. I liked The Office, but what I really liked was Parks and Recreation. You should try that show.

John Krasinski (the guy you said you've seen in other things) is married to Emily Blunt. They've got two kids, and have been married quite a while..

The first 3 seasons are gold. The middle seasons have some great episodes, but not as consistently sharp as the first 3. The last 2 seasons are for those brave enough.

Yes, the cringe factor is through the roof in this show! You may have recognized John Krasinski ( the actor who plays Jim) from a film called, A Quiet Place. He directed and starred in it. He's been in other movies too. Just can't think of any right now .

both versions of the Office are great. but personally, if you want me watching start from S01E01 with either It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or South Park

Scranton, Pennsylvania is a real town, but Dunder-Mifflin is not a real company. I actually live an hour away from Scranton.

Would love to see reactions to one of the best comedies ever (in my humble opinion), Eastbound and Down. There’s no one quite like Kenny Fkn Powers.

Maybe the best show of all time.

Can’t wait for diversity day

The office the goat show

Gervais is Exec Producer on US series, and profits I'm sure!!!🤑🤑🤑🤑

EVERYTHING Steve Carell (Michael Scott) does is unscripted. The entire series. I'm in. Let's do this!
