...wasn't Banzai a spoof of Japanese humour? Unless America has a different version to the show that Britain got.

Everybody in Britain was obsessed with the British version of the Office, I just didn't find it funny. Hey wow, that guy's an arrogant twat! Like I don't see enough of those every day! However, the guy who wrote it (Well, I THINK he wrote it) Ricky Gervais is a funny man outside of the Office, his stand-up stuff was hilarious.

I obviously haven't seen the American version but I would probably find it less funny than I found the British one because there's undoubtedly American references in it that I just wouldn't get.
