DON"T MAKE ME BREAK MAH FOOT OFF IN YO ASS!
The Office is one of many comedy shows that I watch on Peacock now, since I no longer watch wrestling.
There's like 15 versions of the Office (including the US one). I think it's been part of how the people who own it choose to make money from it, license it to different countries, change a couple jokes around to reflect the culture, money!
I see why this ones getting a little more attention; it's more contemporary, english language and on amazon (and does appear to be somewhat marketed internationally). There being actual office spin off on the horizon means that social media engagement farms can present this trailer without comment (or even better, just the marketing images so people don't realise it's australian) and people assume it's the new version they've heard about.
But yeah, it's just another remake and they've been doing this for years. I'd hazard a guess it'll follow the same plot lines of the original episodes, they've just stuck the newer jokes in the trailer.

I'd like to be offended but truth is I haven't watched any of our TV for a long time.
I get it, but all I think of with Krasinski is that joke from the later seasons of The Office where Pam says his face looks like Nixon's. Then Jim held a Nixon picture next to his face and it was eerily similar.
