This. I tried watching the first few episodes of both the UK and US versions and just cringed. There is a difference between funny and awkward and I am sure I missed out on a couple funny parts but it is just not worth it.

There are some funny parts but every episode is the same. Micheal Scott says or does something zany and awkward. Co workers look at him in silent awkwardness and will occasionally look at the camera awkwardly to show that "hey audience look how awkward this is". Dwight does something even more awkward than Micheal Scott does but because he's not the boss people actually **** on him for it. Jim and Pam slowly advance the slowest, lamest, and most obvious will they won't they in sitcom history.

It gets so much better as the show progresses. Beginning is very meh I will admit.

The UK office was very bad, it's just a very sad insecure man looking for approval by trying very hard to be funny and to be liked
Then there's **** like this
HAHAHA! HE HIT HER IN THE FACE! HILARIOUS!
No, it's not, it's just awkward.
Never bothered watching the US version

Seasons two and three of the US Office are some of the funniest **** to ever be on NA television.

Awkward can be funny, The Inbetweeners has a lot of awkward but hilarious moments, it depends on how it is executed
The characters in The Inbetweeners are also teenagers so that makes it more funny and relatable, a grown middle-aged man being awkward isn't very funny

And yet you and Dr. Mantis don't find it funny? That's actually shocking to me.

I like awkward. Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Zooey Deschanel, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart etc. Probably more but that's off the top of my head.

The sweet spot for the Office was around seasons 2 and 3. The first season it was still in the shadow of the UK version. After that season, they started going in their own direction and it got pretty good.
I won't dispute that it got better those seasons but it went from a show that never made me laugh to a show that was not amusing enough for all the talent it had in the cast but still somewhat amusing and sometimes funny enough to make me laugh.
