yeah
Is the Jim in the British version a douche though?
It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't think so. He's a lot more depressed and is actually the subject of bullying from David Brent a few times.

The pranks weren't such a big deal in the British office. The only one I remember is the stapler in the jello.
Yeah I wouldn't call the British Jim a douche, but I recently learned that the actor Martin Freeman might be a giant one.

I've heard that as well, and if true it's highly disappointing.

Would you flip F and M, or are you a weirdo that would rather bang JLG?

It's an easy choice to me when Karen is the most attractive and normal person of the bunch, so you enjoy the banging and the marital bliss.

he could portray Morrissey in a Musk-funded biopic about one man’s struggle to share free speech in a woke world.

Unfortunately, it won't come out before Hollywood hires Neil Patrick Harris to portray him as Nazi who beats trans people and Muslims to death for kicks.

Probably seen the show a thousand times at this point but me and the wife recently started over again with the super fan episodes.

Holy hell, its like a new show! So many great extended episodes and crazy some of the stuff they cut. They really did Creed wrong with how much they cut of his. He's just incredible.
