The primary trailer for the newest iteration of The Workplace is right here, this time being an Australian model and it seems… not nice.
Look, everyone knows that the US model of The Workplace is an extremely widespread TV collection, massively outdoing the British unique, however I will be completely trustworthy, I did not understand how typically it had been remade. Exterior of the UK unique and American variations, there have been 12 completely different takes on The Workplace, together with ones from Canada, Germany, India, and Poland. And shortly, that quantity goes to go as much as 15 in whole, as an Australian remake of the collection is popping out subsequent month, with Prime Video dropping the primary trailer for the mockumentary yesterday. There’s only one slight drawback, which is that it is without doubt one of the most painfully unfunny issues I’ve seen in a great lengthy whereas.
Watch on YouTube
The entire thing feels prefer it got here straight from a machine devoted to producing countless scenes from The Workplace, each single beat extra awkward than the final, and never as a result of the present is supposed to be, however as a result of there may be such a deafeningly loud silence the place laughs are supposed to be however don’t come. Trying on the feedback on YouTube, there are many individuals in settlement that this explicit tackle the commonly beloved present will not be a great or widespread one. Weirdly, regardless of being obtainable in 240 nations when it releases October 18, the largest area it is lacking is the US – although I do not assume all of you state-side might be lacking out on a lot.
Again in Could, a brand new offshoot of the US model of The Workplace, supposedly titled The Paper, was formally ordered, with a recent batch of solid members seemingly confirmed final week alongside Star Wars’ Domhnall Gleeson and The White Lotus’ Sabrina Impacciatore. This new collection can have among the unique staff behind the US Workplace, so hopefully will fare a bit higher than the Australian one.
