This Show We Won't See For Two Years Looks Great! • We refuse to write a whole post about a show that's premiering on Britain's ITV2 this fall, since we have no idea what that even means in American time, but No Heroics (via AICN) looks pretty funny, and when Hollywood rips it off and puts Andy Milonakis in the lead role, Videogum will be there.

The German Version Of The Office Is Bizarro

The Office is such a universal Western experience that there are versions in France, Chile, Canada, and Germany. (It seems like Canada could just borrow ours.) The German version is even being turned into a movie. Anyway, because it's always amusing to see familiar things in unfamiliar languages, here's a clip from the German Office, Stromberg:

(Via Ain'tItCool.) I think the guy with the accidental Hitler mustache is the Dwight/Gareth of the show -- wait, a Hitler joke? Too soon, Germany. Too soon.

Spaced On The Difference Between Women And Men

I've been making my way through Spaced, that cool show by the Shaun Of The Dead folks that aired in Britain in 1999 and 2001 and just came out on DVD. I didn't want to watch any of the show online so as to purify the chronological entire-series DVD-watching experience, but this scene stands alone as an example of the show's brilliance: what starts out as a conversation about the differences between men and women turns into the two funniest fight scenes I've ever seen (though I think non-funny fight scenes are stupid, probably because I'm a chick.) You don't have to have seen the show to get the truths revealed here (be sure to watch to the end):

Last night I watched that scene four times. Someone in Hollywood should totally make an American version of this show, just kidding.
