Stephen Merchant Was 'Doubtful' The US Remake Of The Office Would Be Successful

Stephen Merchant was skeptical that his hit show The Office would be successful in the US, revealing to HuffPost Live that he was “doubtful because of the history of failed attempts to transplant British shows into American formats”.



The US remake of The Office, which had a different cast from the original UK version, ran on NBC from 2005 to 2013, picking up a slew of awards, including five Primetime Emmys.



Speaking on Wednesday in New York, the comedian and actor said: “I think the last successful British sitcom [transplanted to the US] had been Steptoe and Son, which become Sanford and Son in the seventies… so I was suspicious that it [The Office] would translate.”



Merchant added that his “instinct” was not to get “too involved” in the remake, only to be there in an “advisory role”.



“What was important was finding what was relatable about the subject to an American audience,” he said. “At the core of the show is an Englishness and an idiosyncharcy, but what is international is that feeling that in offices you’re just a collection of people thrown together rather arbitrarily.



“The only thing you have in common is the carpet that you walk on. That is true wherever you work.”

This Is The Moment International Nail Queen Snaps Her 23-inch Fingernail

The proud owner of the world's longest fingernails suffered a devastating and slightly embarrassing bit of bad luck during an appearance in London.



Ayanna Williams was showing off her talons at Ripley's Believe It Or Not when, sadly, one of the 23-inch monsters snapped within seconds of her taking to the stage.



The Texan mum-of-five spends 20 hours a week manicuring and maintaining the extremities, which grow 1.5 inches per year. She used to have five-inch toenails to match, but trimmed them before her trip to the UK.



When asked about the difficulties of such long fingernails, Williams said: "The only thing I can’t do is wash dishes or clothes – the sink is too small! I can’t pick coins off the floor, or pay for anything with coins actually – I only pay for things in notes! I have to make sure my nails don’t catch on anything, that can be really painful. They’re handy if I need to scratch my back though!" http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

There's A XXX Parody Of #MontyThePenguin

Did you watch John Lewis's #MontyThePenguin Christmas advert and just think it wasn't quite sexy enough?



Well, a furniture store in North Wales has come to the rescue. Featuring the dodgiest and the sexiest penguin costumes you've ever seen, Pieces for Places of Barmouth has knocked together one of 2014's best John Lewis parodies.







The tale replicates John Lewis's ad almost scene-for-scene with two grown men, one of whom can do somersaults on a trampoline whilst wearing a very restrictive outfit.



Things take a turn when the pair start to see love all around. Our protagonist then walks in on his little penguin pal watching some penguin porn on his penguin PC.



So what pops out of his package on Christmas morning? A scantily clad lady penguin, of course.







Perhaps it would be more suited to Ann Summers or La Senza, but either way we can be glad this ad had a happy ending.

Grannies Get High And Play Cards Against Humanity

Weed has been legalised in Washington, USA so the folks at Cut Video did what any normal person would do. They got three OAPs to hit a bong on camera.







Paula, Dorothea and Deirdre had never smoked weed before, but they got familiar with the apparatus very quickly.



Before long they were feeling the effects and acting like regular stoners, so the masterminds behind the video decided to give the pensioners a vaporizer (which they thought was a sex toy).







The vaping leads them to a game of Cards Against Humanity, which results in a discussion over whether Hannah Montana should tackle Christopher Walken, or a bleached asshole.



As if the blazed biddies weren't already adorable enough, they started to get the munchies. Watching a doped old dame struggle to open a bag of Doritos is probably one of the best things you'll see today.

Panda Playing In The Snow Is Having The Time Of His Life

In the wild Panda's live n temperate, wet forests but this video proves they'd have much more fun elsewhere.



Da Mao is a resident of Toronto Zoo where it's a little colder and snow is often a feature.



And the six-year-old giant panda absolutely loves it.



The zoo said: "During today's snowfall, our cameras caught giant panda Da Mao 'bear-bogganing' in his outdoor exhibit. Perhaps he's discovered a new winter sport?"



He 's also quite industrious in the snow.



“He loves the snow even more when it’s fresh and it’s actually snowing,” Maria Franke, the zoo’s curator of mammals, told the Toronto Star last year. “He makes his own luge track, his own toboggan hill. He should be in the Olympics.”



What a star. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
