SNL: Japanese Version of The Office (with Translation)


Most of The Office's fans probably already know that the popular American zitcom is actually a remake of a British comedy. In this hillarious digital short from Saturday Night Live, the creator of the original British version, Ricky Gervais, explains how he was inspired by a Japanese TV show.

Translation:
***************************************************

Pam: Hello. Dunder Mifflin. This is Pam.

Micheal: Pamo Pamo Pamo Pamoooooooo-san.

Pam: Micheal. What is it?

Micheal: Just being original.

(Bows)

Micheal: I am the funniest boss in Japan. (Coffee cup reads: Funniest boss in the world).

Jim: (calling Dwight) Where's the stapler?

Dwight: (Finding the stapler in a blob of Jello) Fool!

Micheal: What's going on?

Dwight, Jim, Pam: (Bowing to Micheal) Please excuse me. Please excuse me. Please excuse me. Please, excuse me.

(Princess Tampon commercial)

Micheal: I am the regional manager.

Dwight: I am the assistant regional manager.

Micheal: The regional manager's assistant! Why are you up here? Ok! Let's exercise!

Pam: Everyone really loves when Micheal messes up!

Micheal: Well, it was a good day. We did a good job. What do you think (to the bobble head)? Yes, yes, yes!

(Karaoke)

Dwight: Cheers!
