The Office

I've been watching The Office from the BBC lately. I just finished the first season, and now I'm watching the second. The show is brilliant. It's a comedy about office life shot in a documentary style. I don't normally laugh out loud when I'm watching a show by myself, but with this show I just can't help myself. Maybe I find it particularly funny because I'm not exposed to British humor that often.

Typical dialogue:

David: "Look whether or not Anton is indeed a midget, or a dwarf-"
Alex: "No he’s a midget"
David: "What’s the difference?"
Alex: "A dwarf is someone who has disproportionately short arms and legs"
David: "Oh I know the ones"
Alex: "It’s caused by a hormone deficiency"
David: "Yeah… bloody hormones"
Alex: "A midget is still a dwarf but their arms and legs are in proportion"
Gareth: "So... what’s an elf?"
