Here's a review I found of the American Version of "The IT Crowd".
Looks like they're using the same dialogue. I personally don't think surreal British Comedy will ever work in an American production. We like our comedy realistic. And mostly bland.
Only surreal thing I can think of is maybe "Strangers With Candy" or "Upright Citizen's Brigade", but those were on Comedy Central over here. They can do with experimenting.
