The Trailer For An Australian Reboot Of "The Office" Dropped And It Appears To Be A Complete Rip-Off Of The American Version

I don’t know what exactly I expected when I clicked play on that trailer.

The writers of Australian Office must be the laziest writers in the history of television.

If you’re making an Office reboot, you already have everything laid out for you.

You have the way the entire show is shot documentary style.

That’s half the battle right there.

I mean, Australian Jim & Pam are a total copy-paste from American Office.

I guess they got a littlecrazyby making Michael and Dwight women.

From their mannerisms, to the inflections in their voices.

Maybe I’m being a harsh.

Maybe this is what everyone expected when they heard Australia was doing a reboot of The Office.

I just figured it would have some originality.

Something that made it stick out from the American version.

But clearly that’s not what Australia is going for.

And to be fair to Australia, they’ve piqued my interest.

I’m going to have to check it out myself.

I need to see how much of a rip-off this truly is.

Perhaps it’s not as bad as I think.

Maybe black curly-haired Toby has layers to his character.

Maybe Asian Meredith is a god damn star.
