Richard is a real professional

Americans just can't replicate British comedy.

Making an English spoken remake of an English spoken show...

Richard Ayoade in sync doubly hilarious

I can’t understand why Richard agreed to be in the US one 😂

"Normal-person Jen" just made me like "theatrical Jen".

this is bizarre

Joel was a bit more theatrical and dramatic with his movements it was good if he played any other character. But i think he was just trying too hard to not act exactly like Chris . Since it’s not supposed to be a shot for shot remake. But the scenery and camera angles it almost seems like that’s what they were trying to do. If they changed it a little but still having that charm and funny bits. It could’ve done well. With Chris as Roy it seemed more natural and not overacting.

Ayoade is an actual android.

Is Moss actor the same in both??

Is that Jeff winger

How did they take the ideas from the jokes, and then take the joke out of the joke? It's clever actually. Like, the "I'm not afraid of you.... Emily" is a joke, "Emily... I'm not afraid of you" isn't a joke. Instead of misdirecting with the cup, they just make it intentionally boring while he's not answering the phone, they don't even make it obvious why he's not answering. It's really smart.

Im American right and i sit with a straight face when i see joel kale say sorry are you from the past because that line fucking killed me in the British version and the us one just gave me a straight face you can tell richard ayoade isnt having fun

why even bother a remake if they are just going to do a shit repeat with a different actor

America needs to stop remaking UK comedy shows. It doesn't work! You only got lucky once with The Office. Please stop it!

"Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot" is a great meta on the creation of the US series.

Why does American Roy is so sexy?

imagine dan harmon saw this and went like “hmm this guy playing roy doesn’t fit his character in the british version. ima get him to play a lawyer on my sitcom

Were they released at the same time, in 2006? Or, the US version was afterwards?

bro the us stole my boy Richard Ayoade

Where can I find full american version

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot

Roy Actor in Original version is perfect for the role, He Look like an IT guy but Us Version's Roy Is not the perfect choose, He is a great actor AS WE SEE IN community but he did not fit It Crowd.

XD Moss is cast in both and is completely in sync

They really did try to force an unexpected reboot. Moss was spot on

You cant replace roy just like that. He is essential like moss, and jen.

Please don't I mean, please don't. Please... just don't.

This is the darkest timeline when Jeff got a degree in Computer Science and became a nerd

Joel McHale was a completely wrong choice

Joel McHale really isn't funny

ALTERNATE REALITIES ARE WEIRD!!!

It's word for word, they even used the same actor, what is the point of this?

Joel McHale was just incredibly bad casting for this show. He's too charming to be believably unappealing. O'Dowd really played up the unattractive personality well.

Roy is supposed to be an average IT guy, he's not supposed to look like a guy who dates 3 girls at the same time

I never knew there was a U.S. version.

So they remade an English language series into another English language series, with Richard Ayoade in both. What the hell was the point in remaking it?

Meh. About standard for American Shake and Bake Sitcoms. Myself, I don't care for the actor that plays the American Roy. He comes across as holier than thou.

Joel Mchale doesn't fit as Roy.

I’m American, and I can’t with this, nothing beats the original Brit version.

This is pretty terrible, but it shits all over the UK remake of Community starring Chris O’Dowd as Jeff Winger.

No Soul to the US Version... Everything they Touch they Destroy

Wait I thought jeff winger was a lawyer

This is painful to watch..us remake is unnecessary

why do americans always ruin everything

Pilots are always rough in all fairness. In many ways, had Joel not done this, he probably wouldn’t had gotten more tv pilots (including Community). And as a general rule of thumb, pilots are often rather restrocted as they’re grinding with all gears not fully working until one painfully sees what could improve.

Where can one find the uncut US pilot?

its like having a stroke
