The crab dance is probably the least funny scene in the UK Office. It was hilarious the first time, but it's the "classic" scene that gets played over and over, like Del Boy falling off his chair, or Basil doing his silly Nazi walk. Although the latter one still gets me.

I mean it's not easy to explain what I actually mean when I say "subtle". Like there's a scene where Brent plays a "joke" on Dawn by telling her she's fired. It's not even that funny but I start laughing when she's crying and there's an awkward silence as he prepares to tell her he's just joking. The silence is what's funny, not the joke. The atmosphere, not the delivery.

It could just be cultural. The way the British actors perform is of such a high standard that I feel like I'm part of the team, these people are really my colleagues, I become friends with some and dislike others. Maybe if I were American it wouldn't seem so real because it wouldn't reflect my culture so accurately, and I'd appreciate the subtleties of American comedy more.
