   I have a rant related to this, there was a US remake of the IT Crowd.   
   Naturally, it was not very good, but in such a confusing way... They   
   remade the pilot episode joke-for-joke, except they cut the best jokes   
   in the episode. Like this one, for example:   
      
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRPUoz1TYro   
      
   spoiler: Gur N-grnz cvpgher erirny   
      
   But.. that's an American joke? I get cutting bits that only us Brits   
   will understand, but why would you cut this one!
