Peep show vs Office vs Extras

[turbotongue]

Which do you prefer and why? I really can't make my mind up

[Bullett]

They are very much of an ilk those embarrassing moments type comedy (I can't believe he said that).

However the office though clever was entirely reliant on that joke. Extras had other jokes and some great guests taking the piss out of themselves.

Peep Show though is just brilliant, I like the internal monologues and the counterpoint of what they actually say/do so Peepshow for me (and lots of other people will say Peepshow because it's not got RG in it).

1) Office
2) Alan Partridge

peep show and extra's are good but won't stand the test of time imo

[Luke.]

Peep Show is genius.

[Dr Phibes]

From the three suggested gotta be Peep Show, never thought much The Office and still think it is vastly over-rated, chuckle humour at best however Extras is superb very well written and some wonderful gags.

Peep Show was just more original with some fantastic characters and pushed some comedy boundaries something Extras/Office didn't and will stand the test of time.

Although OT Alan Partridge is the daddy.

Extras, Peep Show, then The Office

[Halb]

The Office pips the post, then Peep Show, then Extras (thought the first series was weak).

The Office
Peep Show
Extras

So declares the PH King of Comedy.

The Office wins purely by sheer quality, every single second of it is brilliantly realised comedy, very close to perfection.

Peep Show second as it is just fking hilarious, different and innovative.

Extras 3rd because although it is great it is not quite as consistent or memorable as the above two.

[MikeDH]

Tough one! I've got all of them.

The Office is genius, but the second series seems a lot weaker than the first to me.

Peep Show, fantastic, but the last series (six?) was pretty poor in comparison.

Extras, consistent, but is it really the best...?

So in other words, I don't know.

Office highlight?

Comedy GOLD in the context of the episode. The last song is actually pretty good.

nah, this has to be the single funniest 2 seconds of The Office

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ycnhv2znhJY Had me in stitches!

[Baby Huey]

Peep Show is way ahead of the other two. I enjoyed The Office at the time, but I've no desire to watch it again.

I thought Extras was hugely overrated.

Are you including the second series and the two specials in that evaluation?

How can you say that?

Try to watch this without laughing

I laugh every time

Peep Show

Though if American Office was included that would be above UK Office. The first 2 episodes are a bit st but after that it's brilliant.

[JB!]

Peep Show is the daddy!

Agreed, except I'd lose Extras altogether - terrible program.

[North West Tom]

The Office is probably the funniest programme I've ever watched. Some genuine 'laugh out loud' moments.

Extras is decent. Not the funniest of shows, but watchable.

Never seen Peer Show so can't really comment on that.
