In a particularly good episode of the particularly good Us remake of The Office, Pam (American for Dawn) happens upon her boss Michael Scott (American for David Brent), standing in his office, naked. Michael affects glorious indignation and reaches for a defence that is very much of the American zeitgeist: "European offices are naked all the time."
