That is exactly my thought on this. I watched all of the UK Version a few years ago and while I found it funny, David was a little over the top in this way. It was incredibly uncomfortable...to the point where the comedy was almost lost on me.
Michael still has that same quality, but its a little more made for TV feeling and I guess while I think he's an idiot I just don't feel uncomfortable watching him.
The jokes that Tim played on Nigel in the UK version were way better though...so there is some give and take here I guess.
