They to exactly the same thing as U.K
and the make the exact same mistake
take the limo episode for example.
one did a car with 2 fronts as a limo
one made a very long one
and one made one that worked.

Yeah, except Yankee TG has more (somewhat) violent challenges, like smash car derby, whereas the UK TG is less violent.

If you think that's bad you haven't seen the pilot for the US IT Crowd.

Thank god it was never aired.

That's terrible! I want to crawl in a hole and die, and I only watched like 30 seconds of it (I skipped toward the middle).

I honestly didn't mind until it until I saw Joel McHale as Roy

Don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic actor... It just didn't work well here, with Roy's character.
Roy is meant to be really fed up and lazy. Joel doesn't seem that here; which I think was a director mistake rather than an acting mistake, because Joel can play that type of personality well (evidenced by his character, Jeff, in 'Community')

I also thought it was weird that Richard Ayoade was in it.
If they were really going for an Americanised version of the show, they may as well just Americanise everyone and have it done with.

Yeah, I just don't think the actors fit the roles properly, especially if they intend to keep almost the same script.
