A good question to ask would be how old some NTers are in this thread. Given a good portion of NTers were too young to see Seinfeld in its prime. (Their syndicated x times a day yeah, but their run was phenomenal).

I love the Office, but Michael Scott (like all Office characters) is hit or miss from episode-to-episode. Seinfeld on the other hand was comedic genius. Kramer/Seinfeld over Scott/The Office hands down.

Seinfeld is the greatest show ever! So I'm siding with Kramer. I like The Office and used to really, really like it, but I find seasons 5 and 6 a bit annoying. 
Yes, it is true, The Office does try too hard. Seinfeld's comedy is more subtle.

seinfeld, easily. i started to hate the office when jim and pam stared dating/got married and became dbags.

This is a serious debate and you are on the wrong side of it.

I love The Office, but Michael Richards' Kramer is genius.

Sorry buddy. The wrong side would be the losing side. And you must be blind.

are you kidding me? Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus?

I love both shows but recently the Office has fallen off. Seinfeld has never had a bad season imo.

Kramer > Michael Scott

seinfield>>>, easy

but

lulz

Kramer has been funny since day 1, and even when Larry David left Seinfeld and the show got more outrageous than before, he was still hilarious consistently.

Michael Scott went from being a believable idiot and funny, with inappropriate jokes and awkward moments, to driving his car into a lake because his GPS told him to and other painfully unfunny jokes and moments.

Plus the characters are far different.. Michael is the main focus of the show, so he has to carry the story, with both the dramatic elements and comedy, whereas Kramer can simply be the funny/zany character without needing much else.

 

[rko2004]

Dewight vs Kramer seems like the better match up.

 

[air justinxi]

Michael Scott has been more annoying than funny recently too. The whole dumping Pam's mom thing, the Christmas episode, Scott's Tots. Theyve made him into a giant annoying douce of a character. His old character was a man who was arrogant and ignorant but you knew inside he was still an effective boss.

Genius enough to "steal" a shows whole premise

The Office US + The Office UK doesn't even come close to Seinfeld

 

[wren32]

seinfeld is funny but i like the office. and michael richards is a racist so he is no longer funny to me. DWIGHT> kramer

 

[handullz]

i heard that seinfeld wasnt really crackin the first couple seasons...

is that true? i was a damn baby, then...

 

[Jordan8]

Well being that Seinfield isnt that funny

Ill go with Mike Scott

For laughs The Office >>> Seinfield

Seinfield is a better overall show though

 

[joshuatree2192]

Frank Constanza> The Office

 

[creekshow]

I dont really even like Seinfeld all that much. And Kramers character is mad annoying to me. The whole idiot shtick with all his animated reactions kinda get on my nerves. I think Seinfeld is over rated and Larry got it right when he did Curb. My vote goes to the office.

Curb >>>>>>>>>> The Office tho

 

[whatyouknow]

Seinfeld > Office

But,

1. Different types of humor (shows and characters)... Kramer's physical, whilst Scott's is dry

2. More of an argument = Seinfeld vs. UK Office

 

[ghenges]

Michael Scott over Kramer.

Seinfeld over The Office.
