“It’s not that I’m lazy. It’s that I just don’t care.” One of my favorite film quotes of all time.

You know, I like learning about stuff; I enjoyed my degree, I enjoyed my postgrad diploma (in something totally different), but so many jobs are just soul crushing.

In an interview with Mike Judge, he said Gary Cole who played Lumburgh was like totally serious the entire shoot. He couldn’t get a read on him if what he thought they were doing was funny. And when it came time for the sex dream sequence, Judge at the last minute before shooting the scene brought the coffee mug over to Cole to hold in his other hand and Cole lost it, laughing hysterically.

I worked as an engineer for 30 plus years and this movie is like a religious experience to me. Mike Judge is an absolute genius at depicting character archetypes, I have worked with Michaels, Samirs, Tom's, Miltons and unfortunately had a few Lumberghs in my day. Also, Samantha couldn't believe that two people were sharing a cube, well I shared a 4 person "cube" we called a "quad". Seeing this movie made it a lot more tolerable. I had a red Swingline and a TPS cover sheet at my desk for comfort. I have also noticed that all of the "reactors" I have seen watching this movie all quote the dialog as did I. The writing and the acting is really that great.

[@Uriahjw]

I was a engineering tech back in 2002 to 2004 for a computer manufacturing company and we had 3 per cubical so that was relatable but I was on a semi-off shift so I didn't have to deal with many of the office people. I dealt people more out on the manufacturing floor.

At my last job at a massive tech co. I worked in a hallway with 3 other people. Bunch of BS.

[@amitychief3061]

At my company, they didn't want the engineers talking to the customers, mainly because they tended to tell the truth, but also because of the lack of people skills. I was once reprimanded because I called something a failure, I guess the word I should have used was anomaly.

The fact they bring in efficiency experts is also a big tell that Initech is in trouble. It's 1999 and they're doing Y2K work, which is about to go away in a few months. Probably a huge drop off in customers imminent. Milton probably did everybody a favor.

[@reecegraves3738]

[@peterseaboldt1250]

People underestimate the significance of the Bobs in this story. With Peter's hypnosis-induced chill, he inadvertently told them exactly who had to be fired to increase workplace efficiency. They mistook his chill for management potential and thought Peter could do a better job than the eight people he was currently working under.

[@michaelbuhl4250]

Swingline didn't make a red stapler when this movie came out, but they got so many requests for it that they started making one.

[@BlunderMunchkin]

So where did they get the stapler for the movie?

[@Quessir]

It was a prop made by the prop department for the film.

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

Yup. The stapler represented the relatively insignificant things and petty actions that take on in inappropriate significance in office life. They painted the stapler red so that it would stand out in the scene. Of course, the red stapler becomes an icon. So with eBay acting as an outlet for small business... some enterprising folks started doing high-quality red paint-jobs on Swingline staplers. It takes awhile, but Swingline realized that there's actually a demand for red staplers. So they begin producing them.

After my brother and I watched this, we had our parents watch it. My mom had to turn off the movie: "This is every goddamn day. This hurts."

[@amitychief3061]

I have had friends I recommended this move to only to have them come back and say they didn't like it , because like your mom, it hit too close to home. The first time I watched it , I thought it was ok, and then I watched it again and it became perhaps my all time favorite. I think if you work in a place like Initech, then you get a tinge of PTSD when you watch it, if you get over that, then it is hilarious and it makes you feel great.

[@ethanstump]

they are both maddening, because they are both subtly fake and useless, proport to do a thing without actually doing it, spending vast quantities of money to do jack-all, focus exclusively on niche skills or personality that aren't relevant to the actual production, the people doing the actual work get shafted while nepotism and incompetency abound, what get's marketed to the customer doesn't at all really relate to the actual product, pathology is hidden under a rug of "professionalism" and "passion", the HR job listings don't really make sense, there's a lot of hyped up shiny objects and flashy style that hides mediocrity and mundanity, ton's of jargon and word salad, and at the end of the day, IS COMPLETLY UNECCESSARY TO THE JOB. but not to management. it's not about power, it's about control. their control.

The opening to this movie (the traffic scene) was literally shot where I commuted at the time. It hit me VERY hard. God I hated that traffic.

Yup! I worked for an Aerospace Co. in my hometown for 7 years from 1981 to 1989. One of my supervisors there was very much like Lumbergh. Same looks and attitude. Of all days in 1989 . . . I was laid-off on Labor Day weekend. During my time there it was wild. Drug use (weed and cocaine) and alcohol use after work (especially one the weekends), and at work as well. Also the occasional fights between employees at work. Nobody was fired for that. In December of 1989 I was hired as a temp at another Aerospace Co. that was owned by GM. There were about 2,500 to 3,000 employees there. I was hired as a Material Coordinator and I had a cubical doing a lot of data entry on the computer transferring electronic and mechanical parts to different departments. 'Office Space' does remind me a lot of my work experiences. Retired now, but there are those days that I think about the fun, wild crazy and the hatred (many days of "the case of having the Munday's") going to work in that kind of work environment. Excellent reaction TBR Schmitt to 'Office Space'!

I know what you mean about the old car. I was driving my grandfather's 1993 Plymouth Acclaim until this past summer when my friend insisted on leaning me the money for a new one (2014 Chevy Sonic).

The boss who wanted them to wear more pieces of flare was Mike Judge

[@johnrichardirby]

One of the funniest/most unnoticed parts about this film is that all these cubical workers were forced to wear three piece suits everyday when they know they won’t see or interact with anyone besides their coworkers who are also locked in cubicles.

I loved this movie before I ever worked in an office environment. Then I got a job at an AT&T call center. The four and a half years I spent there made me love this movie even more.

1999 had 3 amazing comedies. Office Space, South Park and Dogma. And one hilarious unintentional comedy - the Phantom Menace.

Hey TBR and Sam here's a fun fact: Joanna (aka Jennifer Aniston) her boss at Chotskies, who she flips the bird before taking off her 17 peices of fleer for the last time. Yeah that dude was the movie's writer is Mike Judge.

[@jeffgaboury3157]

One of the single funniest films of all time. A MUST SEE for anyone who is working, or has worked, in any office environment. So funny!

[@tdrewman]

I worked at a place like this for 13 years. I can remember hearing the phone ringing when I would sleep. I remember getting yelled out by 3 different bosses in the same day for the same mess up. I once got in trouble for finishing my work early and not telling anyone because I didn't want to do anymore work for the day. I lived office space.

[@christopherlundgren1700]

I was among the small handful of people that saw this in the theater when it came out. I was 19. It spoke to me on such a deep level; that feeling of dreading work every day was so relatable. Also it's just so damn funny and quotable. I think I've probably watched Office Space more times than any other movie I own.

1. Classic movie. It's the first movie I purchased on DVD. 2. The printer scene is extremely cathartic for anyone who has worked in tech support. I've actually included it after making students memorize the seven steps of laser printing. It's their reward and mine.

[@kitsune6440]

I worked for a company that had to move locations. There was a couple old printers that were not worth moving so our bosses gave us a bat and let us have our own office space moment with them. 😄

[@ChuckJansenII]

Imma buy TBR Schmitt a teleprompter. ;) This movie is still relevant today.

[@dmwalker24]

The interesting thing about the story is that he is able to find some happiness by getting out of cubicles, and into a more physical job outdoors. Corporate BS is so much worse now, my coping mechanism was to refuse to work in an office all together, and insist on working from home. Quit the first job that wouldn't accept those terms, and kept looking until I found one that would.

Terrific comedy. The actor playing Michael Bolton and the actor playing the magazine salesman were both early cast members of MadTV, the brilliant sketch comedy show of the 1990s & 2000s. You must check out episodes of MadTV from the first five seasons.

[@terryhughes7349]

I love how you share your personal office situations! Have a great day!

[@Mister_Samsonite]

The scene where Peter swerves and GHOSTS Lumbergh just slays me! I've wanted to do that so many times.

[@nachoxm]

"Stripes" and "Caddyshack" are both Bill Murray classics!!

[@giannag4581]

The actor Ron Livingston was great. Every time I see this movie I really think that he could have played the role of Jim in The Office TV show. John Krazinski, I love though. And the character of Milton I just couldn't get enough of he was so great thank you for reacting to this movie.

[@erinfreelon4353]

The struggle is REAL! I'm a medical biller, and when someone gives me the puzzled look when I say that I just ask them if they've seen this movie or The Office. Then I tell them to imagine that but not funny.....

[@truckinfool3550]

I find it interesting how younger generations recognize actors. I think of John McGinley as Red O’Neill in Platoon, and Stephen Root as Jimmy James in TV’s Newsradio.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

I watched the full length on your Patreon, and I love that you left the blooper in the KZbin version. ;)

[@billdauterive1180]

Another fun fact about this movie: Swingline didn't make a red stapler before this movie, It was custom made for the movie. Demand by fans after the movie released encouraged Swingline to make a run of special red staplers.

[@TimDownsAnimation]

you just KNOW the director of photography had to feel like a cinema GENIUS setting up that dramatic camera spin when the Bobs ask Lumbergh about HIS job. It delivers such a satisfying literal "turning of the tables" lol. Another movie that has a great corporate job freakout scene is Joe vs The Volcano with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It's not what the whole movie is about, but it's still a really cute and quirky movie.

[@landrec2]

Legendary movie, legendary characters, real-life drama. This movie is much more relevant today then when it was released. The fact that Clarence finds happiness and satisfaction while Peter, Samir, and Michael struggle is the ultimate lesson in life. Jennifer Anniston is so cool in this movie, she's got one of the best character arcs ever. 10/10 classic movie, Mike Judge is a genius. 90's Corollas are possibly the best car ever made in history. I owned one.

[@DirtMaguirk]

Extract is an underrated Mike Judge film starring Jason Bateman.
