A Comparison of American and British TV Comedy

Comparison of American and British television comedies Sitcom in the history of television is always one of the most important types of expressing the value of the middle class of our society and not in teasing them but in a softer way It is for expressing.

"Office" is a perfect case study of the difference between American and British comedy. Over the years, the study of American television and movies has reestablished a mature British program for American viewers. The US version of "Office" began as a copy of the frustrating English version of the scene. As it expanded and began to Americanize its role, the show was endorsed and eventually won the audience. In the UK version, the painful David Brent played by Ricky Gervais must be one of the greatest TV characters ever. In fact, the role of Gervais may be too painful for most Americans. He never found redemption, he was always wrong, and he was still an idiot in the whole series. This may be the most obvious difference between the United States and British comedy. At the US version of "Office", Michael Scott's position at Steve Carell finally got a new job.
