I haven’t watched much of either the British or American versions of the show, but am nevertheless going to recommend three posts by Venkatesh Rao which use the American version to illuminate interesting aspects of office life:

• The Gervais Principle, Or The Office According to “The Office”.
• The Gervais Principle II: Posturetalk, Powertalk, Babytalk and Gametalk.
• The Gervais Principle III: The Curse of Development.

Long, but definitely worth it.
