@Warlock Triqz omgosh! As the spouse of a Post Production IT engineer the talk of fonts is ENDLESS. And w/the latest merger streamlining the licences and Services is a nightmare.
When he says “there’s no way two different bosses would get this bent out shape about a coversheet” it’s made very clear CinemaSins has never worked in a corporate office where multiple bosses don’t actually do anything. +1 sin
Yep. I made an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeney mistake some time ago (I twigged it about 10 minutes later and sorted it, no problem). My bonus for that was having to endure 7 - count 'em - SEVEN very, very, very important members of the very, very, very important 'Management Team' (I know, those two words form the perfect oxymoron) making sure to "have a chat' with myself, going through every action I'd taken, DESPITE me saying time and time again that as I'm the one who did it I already KNOW! Jeez, phuqing TPS reports and self-important 'managers'! Office Space will always be one of the best - still makes me laugh - legend.
True. The only thing I can say were actual sins here is Peter getting off Scott-free. Yes, there certainly would have been an investigation over the fire. Highly doubt that Milton would have gotten away with arson either. But one thing Cinema Sins missed was around the Tetris scene. In real life, Peter would have actually been fired right then and there on the spot for insubordination.
It’s taken to a comedic extreme, and Peter is a complete asshole. Honestly most white collar companies that I’ve worked for wouldn’t treat their employees so poorly and if Peter had really streamlined his his entire workflow to fifteen minutes they’d promote him and use his example to see how he improved work efficiency
@@ZetaReticuli_ Peter might've gotten caught, except that written confession he slipped under the door and then couldn't retrieve probably got burned in the fire, unless someone else saw it before the fire. Whether investigators would connect Peter's embezzlement actions to the fire or not depend on if someone looked into the payroll system and noticed or not before the fire. Back in 1999, would anyone have been able to dig up the payroll on any computers outside the business where all computers were destroyed in the fire? Businesses didn't normally contain their payrolls anywhere on the internet back then, it was all in the company system which could only be retrieved on computers inside the place of business. That's all different now, but this was 1999.
Tom running across the parking lot to meet Peter and the guys halfway to warn them about the efficiency experts is foreshadowing the fact that he is inefficient and therefore in danger of being fired.
And Peter not going to Staples to get a new address book makes zero sense because the office is within walking distance of the restaurant, so why not just go pick it up instead of driving all the way to a Staples?
Mike Judge's track record is fucking bananas. Over the last 30 years he's given us three stellar television series and two movies that are cultural touchstones that don't stop getting repeated. And they're all basically different from one another.
When you apply to a new job, always say you have kids... i find out the hard way that if people think you don't have kids, you are 'availlable' at all time.
"I might have to just start adding sins for no reason if this movie keeps making me remove them" Now that's how you know a movie is good. When they straight up admit that they're struggling to think of sins
I disagree about the TPS cover sheet. The issue is that he had more than 1 boss and they didn't communicate with each other. Happens more than you think
Yep, not only that, but when Peter later says he has 8 different bosses, that's bound to drive anybody crazy with at least 8 people complaining to you about even the smallest mistakes. Basically, the place is a toxic work environment by power-tripping asshole managers.
No kidding. Office Space is deliberately meant to be an exaggerated, live-action cartoon. The fact that Cinema Sins takes it so seriously is the real sin here.
You can tell they’ve not had office jobs in a setting like this. At least, not long-term. I have, in fact, had several bosses tell me the same thing on the same day.
When I was a teenager, I laughed because the movie is genuinely hilarious. Now that I’m a 30 year old IT technician, I laugh because of how true this movie is when it comes to office tropes.
@@NoahGooder now we have bosses calling on Zoom to nag about our "TPS reports", long breaks by leaving out our computers on, pandemic-excused downsizing, and it's harder to hang out with your buddies because everybody has different schedules.
I love how you explain a joke incredibly painfully, with Bolton singing Geto Boyz, and then consider it a “sin”. I’m convinced you are devoid of humor. Not to mention you’ve clearly never even seen an office environment lmfao
I work in IT, when I had to troubleshoot printers in a previous job, that scene where they beat it with a baseball bat ran through my head on average once a week.
printers i swear are demons (I once had one burn/tear a report i had to print in college. Fire alarm went off too because the detector on the ceiling above the printer.)
Also Falling Down. Both have a very gritty spin on modern "work to live" society. Both men have a complete breakdown. But whilst one tries to swallow his anger and cheats the system cause of loving friends and loveinterest, the other one gets completely lost in his lifeless life and the couldnt-care-less-nes of his environment which ends in full destruction Mode.
6:45 Have you never been to one of these restaurants? Ketchup is the only condiment on the table. They'll bring you anything else you want if you ask for it, but ketchup is always on the table.
Fun fact since they missed it but the PC load letter was an actual error code Mike Judge got while trying to print the script. You know back when that was how things worked.
The 8 Bosses line is great because it represents the very real nightmare of having a whole level of people who are technically above you but don't directly supervise you. I've worked for a few companies where at any given moment a member of the C-level suite or a VP could walk in with a priority task. Suddenly you're looking down at ten "high priority" tasks and each person who gave them to you doesn't want to care about what the other people in the company want, or that you have regular work to do. And your superior expects you to handle it because they're gutless and don't want to piss off a senior staff member.
the worst is when you have two superiors on the same project and they give you conflicting instructions, then each one gets mad after you try to appease the other one. hooray corporate culture!
One thing CinemaSins doesn't realize "PC Load Letter" was the standard error message on early HP Laser Printers when a paper tray was out of paper. It meant "Paper Cassette Load Letter (sized paper)".
I never knew that. I remember those first HP Laser Printers, the company I worked for bought a shit ton of them. They were quirky at first but we got used to them. But they NEVER ran out of paper because my colleagues and I were continually loading them. The tray held a ream and a half, or a quarter. So when it got to a quarter ream or less we just tossed another one in. The ones in my department, at least. I expect not everybody was a diligent as we were.
@@badbiker666 that’s some decent design. I’ve used lots of printers where the tray is sized perfectly for the pack of paper. With only the tiniest of margins. So of course someone else spools up a 50-page print job while you’re waiting for it to get low enough to load a whole one, or you deal with half-full packs. Making it one and a half sized sounds so much easier.
They are, but the particular quirks by Ron's character and his friends sure have made this a funny, quirky, memorable movie And Jennifer Anniston's character and what she's dealt with at her job are quite realistic too really. And at 15:00, her "finally really expressing herself" looks good (at least in a wacky comedy movie like this) when finally telling her dickhead boss where to stick it, but in the real world you need to at least somewhat consider your future and know that having a history of walking out of a job like that may make it a little tougher to really succeed in business in the future. However, it is a movie, and a funny one at that. And I've always liked Anniston anyway, not just in "Friends", but in her movie roles such as this one, "Along came Polly", and "Horrible Bosses"
I was in tears when they knocked off a sin for Michael Bolton's comment about how he shouldn''t have to change his name because he's not the one who sucks. He literally didn't even say one word about it. He just played the clip real quick, and then you hear the "minus one sin" music.
Two things: Peter's fixing the Y2K bug (explained in another scene) so coming in on the weekend might make sense, it was a time critical fix. And yes, you used to have to exit windows and wait until the C: prompt before shutting down computers, that was a thing.
You claim there's no way two bosses would get that upset over a missing cover sheet... you're wrong. Way, way, way wrong... Stupid shit like this constantly at work
This. I once had 4 bosses who didn’t consult each other & were as effectual as each other, so I go out, but I’ve heard it’s more common than it should be
Yeah, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?
2:20 Yeah, you haven't worked in a inefficient bureaucratic corporate environment which bloated middle management, have you? 3:20 That's what happens when corporate cuts all essential employees for cost cutting, and those who remain are death marched to finish the project. I'm just gonna stop the video here, this movie is not for everyone and this guy shows it.
"There is no way 2 managers would get this out of shape over missing cover sheets ..." Tell me you never worked in a corp office setting, without telling me you never worked in a corp office setting.
"Heeeey Jeremy, whaaat's happening? Uhm, yeaaaaah I'm gonna need you to go ahead and uh, just kind of delete the rest of these sins so if you could be here tomorrow around nine to take care of it, that would be greaaaat, mmkay? Thanks!"
2:27 clearly CinemaSins has never worked in a corporate environment. There could be 5 more scenes with a boss bitching about TPS reports that were cut and even then anyone who worked in a place like this would know that was truth.
@@mitchellpatterson1829 I have over 1600 unread emails in a folder I named 'daily emails' with a 4-month retention policy. These are the exact emails you're talking about. Thankfully Outlook has the rules function!
@@JedidiahStolzfus I did support for Microsoft, and one time Outlook crashed. I mean, ALL OUTLOOK FOR ALL MICROSOFT because it had come to pass that a "send to all" command was used from an account that included every single address in Microsoft and the replies of "What is this about?" WERE THEMSELVES sent (via, of course, "reply to all") to every single email address in MS. Instant overload. I don't remember how many multi-millions of emails were sent in the first hour but it was a big mess. A freakin' HILARIOUS big mess, to be sure... And of course, there were the "reply to all" inquiries of "Why am I getting these thousands of emails?" And all of the "Please do not open or reply to any emails at this time d'oh!" emails.
@@Trollificusv2 I worked on a large corporate campus many years ago. The CEO's secretary would send out an email to all 5000 employees without using BCC.

1:45 Hearing Nina repeat herself over, over and over again saying, "Corporate Accounts Payable Nina's speaking, Just a moment" is bothering Peter Gibbons and making him nervous.
"How long do you think a guy's going to work without a paycheck" - you must have missed the part where the efficiency expert said "it will work itself out." That's what he meant. When Milton stops getting a check he stops coming to work. Gonna have to sin you for that one.

I opened this video just to basically say the exact same thing but you beat me to it...I guess I'll actually watch the video now since I'm sure it's gonna be hilarious
This film has aged like fine wine. I stop and watch it whenever it is on TV. "There Was Nothing Wrong With It - Until I Was About 12 Years Old And That No-Talent Ass-Clown Became Famous And Started Winning Grammys.” - Michael Bolton from Office Space.
Michael Bolton ended up hating this movie and it was kind of a hate battle with Judge and stuff. Then for some reason Bolton watched it again and laughed at it. Now he likes the movie and has lightened the fuck up (like working with Lonely Island and such) . But for like 2 years after the movie released he was pissed off.
@@bostonphotographer20 Think about it at 12 he probably only just within the last year finally got people to stop calling him Mikey, it would have cementing as point of pride for him
Tell me about it, man. I gotta wake up at 6 am everyday this week and drag my ass out to Los Colinas... Yeah, I'm doin' the drywall up there at the new McDonalds.
Work is fine. It's being there 40 hours a week that needs to be done away with. People rarely do 40 hours of productive work. Even Peter hinted at this during his first meeting with the Bobs.
He hinted at not doing 40hrs of work per week? Did you see the same movie. He estimated only getting 15 minutes of real actual work in any given week. That is 0.63% of a 40 hour work week. That is not a hint in any definition that I ever knew.
Because of the pandemic, my wife is working from home. She gets *ALL* of her work done with plenty of time for leisurely breaks. What she does not have is a boss looking over her shoulder "making sure" she's working.
The lady handing out mail is a temp. There is no reason she'd know Samir or Michael since she probably doesn't work there or in that particular job everyday.
Man the whole thing about peter’s 8 bosses talking to him about his tps reports could not be more accurate. Literally at my job if we mess one thing up we’ll have several different people talk to us about it, along with several different meetings, all because nobody knows how to communicate. I know it’s a movie sin, but god damn it’s painfully accurate
i am looked at as a black sheep where i work. i am not liked by 99% of the workforce of about 400 people on my shift alone. management i don't even work around would tell me about an error i made. lol
5:46 Windows 3.1 was run on top of DOS and was launched from the command prompt. When you exited Windows, you would be taken back to the command prompt.
I worked for Intel Corporation when this movie came out, and can confirm that its depiction of working for a high-tech company is exactly right. Except for a cheery receptionist (well, I never ran into one). Edit note for Jeremy: Peter was working on code for the Y2K change, so it makes sense that he would have to be putting in weekends to meet the deadline. I did a Y2K project as well, and the pressure was real.
@@iowafarmboy why would they? they could just change the date at any time to test the system on any machine deemed unimportant enough to do such experiments with. it caused problems, they fixed problems, the fixed problems where no longer a spectacle, "hm, i guess y2k wasn't actually a problem"
This movie is funny AF but until now I never realized how great Peter's situation was. Go ahead and pay me a full time wage for 15 mins of work in a week. I'll take it
@@jamesnoble8205 it was certainly good for 15 min of work per week lol. 4 year old car, apartment without a roommate, going out to lunch/for drinks regularly. Plus probably 401(k), benefits, and at that time maybe even building a pension
Until you realize he has 2385 minutes per week of dealing with 8 bosses, TCP reports, meetings, meetings to set up meetings, meetings to report about meetings. Not to mention paper jams & PC *ing Load Letter problems,
Not as great as it seems. I had a job like that. The non work time was spent in meetings, meetings about having meetings, training, updates, tech issues, management pep talks, performance reviews, more meetings, desk shuffling etc etc.. Never felt like we DID anything.
Getting shocked by the door handle knowing it will shock him but doing it anyway is a sneaky way of revealing his masochistic behavior. He probably does it just to feel something in his numb life.
@@nthgth Not that anybody really has an address book anymore, but when you did, could YOU remember everybody that was in your old address book?

@@ExcessInModeration No... A new one just to save Jennifer Aniston's for now. Let him return for the old one with all the other addresses/numbers when he comes for all the other personal stuff he has in his cube.
I object.. There was a people in persia that wove the best rugs.. they would tie 1 knot that was wrong in every one... Without it it would be perfect, but that is the reason for it being there. I may be an older generation... However the symbolism is easy. To do something perfectly allows no growth. It is complete and great. To take it back further it is why man/humans can sin. Because with no mistake no learning occurs. To say anything is without fault is beyond comprehension that we have. I agree it very well depicts the time it was made and i think they went light on the sins. They like it too.. So with that name i think they did ok, although they were reaching in places.
True story: When my brother was 21, he had a good government job (3 years in), and a bright future. Then we saw this movie together. He didn't ever go back to that job. Not even to quit. He didn't work again for 6 years. While we were all worried about him, he developed and sold some accounting software and has now retired early. I'm a physician, and I'm jealous of him.
I have a cousin that got his leg broken in a freak workplace accident and it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Got him into online school and he never had to work in an office again. It was before the movie came out that it happened, and he still loves office space and jokes that he would rather break his leg again then go back for one day.
@@thebystander1636 I'm unwilling to divulge that. I Googled it, and it makes it possible to trace a line directly to me. I'm no internet wizard, but I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing. I will say that he sold it to a moderately sized regional accounting firm. He made a little under $2 million after it was all said and done (which was an insane amount of money at the time), and he's been so wise with that money that he's never had to do anything he'd call work since. And he credits this movie for starting all of it.
Nina wasn't answering that many calls to accounts payable on a Monday morning. No, it's much more sinister than that. She was *practicing* to answer calls, getting warmed up for the day.
Heard a theory that her answering a steady stream of accounts payable calls and sending them to hold is a semi-covert clue that the company is in really bad financial shape. Tons of bills coming due and no good way to deal with them. Hence the efficiency experts and layoffs that follow.
The real sin is you forgot to mention the psychiatrist died from a heart attack right as he was hypnotizing Michel making him switch personalities which is kind of the whole point of the movie
The sin removals were spot on, especially the Michael Bolton one haha. There’s one other Milton quote that needs some love though... “I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, AND THEY WERE MERRY.” 😂😂😂

I had never even heard of this movie and I'm 40, but I saw a random clip from the movie and I thought it was really funny. The year before this stupid pandemic, I found a theatre near me playing classic movies and this was one of them! I took the wife to go see it, and even though her and I'm sure most of the audience had already seen it too, it was a blast and everyone was laughing damn near the entire time. It's a great experience in a theatre and glad I saw it that way for the first time instead of streaming it somewhere ;)
Whom ever wrote these sins clearly has never worked in a “corporate” environment. Everything about this film is so freaking accurate you’d think it was a documentary. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Over here in the UK, I had NO IDEA what the fuck "flair" was! 😊 I mean, I've never ever heard of "flair", even now! Never heard anybody/anywhere using that phrase/terminology - "flair"... Only ever heard of it referenced in THIS film! 😊 So yeah, I was actually quite confused as to what they were on about at the time! Obviously I now know what "flair" is, but I've still never heard of it being mentioned in the UK... I guess I never had a job where I've had to have "flair" - and I've actually worked in amusement parks and themed restaurants! 😊 So yeah, what the fuck is a piece of "flair"!? 😁 (PS - Couldn't help but put "flair" into quotation marks!

5:46 - Old Windows would go back to DOS when you logout. So this is actually true. Watching this video, all these sins for no reason just shows CinemaSins have never worked in an real office.
Got one as a gag off Amazon, because they don't seem to sell Swingline products in the UK. Took it to work to show it off, and discovered it was the best stapler I've ever used.

Fun fact: During the fire scene, you can see Lumbergh's car parked outside. No Bill in the crowd. There is a deleted scene where the guys ask Peter if he's going to Lumbergh's funeral. Milton set the fire and likely killed Bill Lumbergh in the process. Everyone was able to get out of the building except Bill? Nah, Milton made sure he burned up in there.
Judge advised that he based this character on a real-life incident he observed in just such a restaurant, the boss being a complete jerk to a totally helpless subordinate.
You left out one of the best lines in the movie. Granted it's full of great lines. Lol. "You don't need a million dollars to do nothin. Take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do shit." Or something like that 😂🤣 gosh I love this movie
I saw this movie the first time at work. Several of my co-workers and I took over the training center and watched this on the big screen. Every so often, somebody would say "that guy is just like......" mentioning some boss from our office. This movie is quite accurate and the sin count is exaggerated.
"How does Peter have eight goddamned bosses?" Matrix goddamned management. I think the most I ever had thanks to that particular school of management was ten, although you do have to define "boss" as "person you report up to". But yeah, if anything, they're understating the sheer bloody-minded insanity. Throughout the whole damn film too.
Yeah sometimes at home I say boss and my wife asks which one, cause I have 2 direct co-bosses. But then they each have a different boss. So many times I say my Boss's Boss needed this etc. And of course then they have a director and he has a VP of a department, and then a senior VP of a group of departments...etc etc till you get to the CEO. So yeah, I have had many bosses at the same time all who may ask me to do something at any given time.
The auditors are obviously misunderstanding his sarcasm, but I’d define a “manager” the same way. Counting all the higher positions than mine, I have about 10, but fortunately I don’t have to see them all on a regular basis.
I got to have an office space moment not long ago. My company replaced our outdated computers and printers at the start of the year, and they were giving some of the worse ones away. One of which was one I had to use all the time and it and I had conflict. So I request to take it home, I took it out to the middle of the desert, and beat the ever living hell out of it. So seeing that scene, I understand that feel.
@@redgreen82 no, it's married. Mike Judge confirmed in an interview that Milton saw two squirrels having sex and took it to mean that they were married

Regarding desk-moving IT'S A THING! I work in an office that's mostly accountants, and every time someone gets promoted or a new person comes on they rotate the entire group just so the newbie can sit right outside the boss's office.

I feel like this is probably the movie they've removed the most sins for
@@Scroolewse He also just threw 20 sins on for no reason... I don't think he removed 20.
I disagree about the TPS cover sheet. The issue is that he had more than 1 boss and they didn't communicate with each other. Happens more than you think
Yep, not only that, but when Peter later says he has 8 different bosses, that's bound to drive anybody crazy with at least 8 people complaining to you about even the smallest mistakes. Basically, the place is a toxic work environment by power-tripping asshole managers.
I have never seen Cinema Sins totally misunderstand a movie as much as they did this one.
No kidding. Office Space is deliberately meant to be an exaggerated, live-action cartoon. The fact that Cinema Sins takes it so seriously is the real sin here.
You can tell they’ve not had office jobs in a setting like this. At least, not long-term.

Shit man I'm out working in the field all the time and this movie hits way too real way too often.
People still don't know what 'Load Letter' means half the time.
in another 30 years it will be the reason you burn down the building
'The Nodder' is the hero who assures the boss talking that everyone is listening! its a sneaky 'wrap it up'. I stand with the nodders😆
Nodders are heroes.
I do that to mask the fact that I'm lost in my own thoughts, and not listening to a word they're saying.
Nodders unite lol
Thank you all! I literally took a mental note to stop nodding, but now I see that I matter..I MATTER
Nodders are suck ups. Period.
the fact this is still relevant is a sad example of how office culture has remained terrible for the last 20 years.

Fun fact since they missed it but the PC load letter was an actual error code Mike Judge got while trying to print the script. You know back when that was how things worked.
The 8 Bosses line is great because it represents the very real nightmare of having a whole level of people who are technically above you but don't directly supervise you. I've worked for a few companies where at any given moment a member of the C-level suite or a VP could walk in with a priority task. Suddenly you're looking down at ten "high priority" tasks and each person who gave them to you doesn't want to care about what the other people in the company want, or that you have regular work to do. And your superior expects you to handle it because they're gutless and don't want to piss off a senior staff member.
the worst is when you have two superiors on the same project and they give you conflicting instructions, then each one gets mad after you try to appease the other one. hooray corporate culture!
@@naiastraThats why you make them fight each other by telling each one. Don’t become stuck between a rock and a hard place.
One thing CinemaSins doesn't realize "PC Load Letter" was the standard error message on early HP Laser Printers when a paper tray was out of paper. It meant "Paper Cassette Load Letter (sized paper)".
*SKIP*
Huh. Never knew that. Still a pretty opaque message.
I never knew that. I remember those first HP Laser Printers, the company I worked for bought a shit ton of them. They were quirky at first but we got used to them. But they NEVER ran out of paper because my colleagues and I were continually loading them. The tray held a ream and a half, or a quarter. So when it got to a quarter ream or less we just tossed another one in. The ones in my department, at least. I expect not everybody was a diligent as we were.
@@badbiker666 that’s some decent design. I’ve used lots of printers where the tray is sized perfectly for the pack of paper. With only the tiniest of margins. So of course someone else spools up a 50-page print job while you’re waiting for it to get low enough to load a whole one, or you deal with half-full packs. Making it one and a half sized sounds so much easier.
You’ve just made me realise the other level to that joke 😂 I will laugh more from now on
I’ve got the feeling no one at Cinema Sins ever worked in an office. All thing that happen in the beginning are absolutely realistic.
It's pretty clear from this that not one of the writers at CS has ever worked a day in their lives
@@as3609 Hey now, they work pretty hard trying to find as many "dings" as possible for things that are clearly not sins.
They are, but the particular quirks by Ron's character and his friends sure have made this a funny, quirky, memorable movie
And Jennifer Anniston's character and what she's dealt with at her job are quite realistic too really. And at 15:00, her "finally really expressing herself" looks good (at least in a wacky comedy movie like this) when finally telling her dickhead boss where to stick it, but in the real world you need to at least somewhat consider your future and know that having a history of walking out of a job like that may make it a little tougher to really succeed in business in the future.
However, it is a movie, and a funny one at that. And I've always liked Anniston anyway, not just in "Friends", but in her movie roles such as this one, "Along came Polly", and "Horrible Bosses"
I usually agree with CS but this one is a series of swings and misses! “Office Space” is a pretty perfect movie!
They've obviously never commuted in stop-start traffic either.
I was in tears when they knocked off a sin for Michael Bolton's comment about how he shouldn''t have to change his name because he's not the one who sucks. He literally didn't even say one word about it. He just played the clip real quick, and then you hear the "minus one sin" music.
IKR! Amaaaaaazing
Two things: Peter's fixing the Y2K bug (explained in another scene) so coming in on the weekend might make sense, it was a time critical fix.
And yes, you used to have to exit windows and wait until the C: prompt before shutting down computers, that was a thing.
You claim there's no way two bosses would get that upset over a missing cover sheet... you're wrong. Way, way, way wrong...
Stupid shit like this constantly at work
For real. If you've ever had incompetent management (which has to be 80% of all companies), you'd know.
This. I once had 4 bosses who didn’t consult each other & were as effectual as each other, so I go out, but I’ve heard it’s more common than it should be

Absolutely. All this shows is TH-cam REALLY worked out for these guys. This is akin to "let them eat cake" ffs

"There is no way 2 managers would get this out of shape over missing cover sheets ..." Tell me you never worked in a corp office setting, without telling me you never worked in a corp office setting.

22 years later, and I still covet Milton's iconic red Swingline stapler! 😂❤️
I have one. Got it as a gift for my first office job.
Years ago my dad ordered one because this is his favorite movie, still has it like 17 years later
I got one for my ex girlfriend after they moved her department to a no window building.
Got one as a gag off Amazon, because they don't seem to sell Swingline products in the UK. Took it to work to show it off, and discovered it was the best stapler I've ever used. Co-workers would ask to use it, it was so much better than the cheap plastic ones the company provided. Highly recommended!
In the words of Braveheart, "They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our red Swingline staplers!"
4:30 This is a gold mine in the days of pre-internet. Back when your source was scrambled cable channels and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions to work with.
Still relevant to TH-cam. They sometimes let medical documentaries slip through.
Don't care still an amazing movie and one of my top 10.
#1, watch it atleast every 6months or so.
(Airplane and Spaceballs tied for #2?)
Cinemasins is not a review, and for this movie he really had to reach for sins. Don't take these videos too seriously.
Milton is Lumbergh's punching bag. Every time Lumbergh feels slighted by Peter or the Bob's, he goes to Milton and requests more downsizing from him.
That many calls in the morning is very plausible if they are calling from eastern time zone where it would be noon. Noon is not that early in the morning.
28 seconds of sponsor, that's almost half minute! And I'm giving an extra sin for putting it at the front of the video
(Ding Ding)
100 sins for it being betterhelp
Here's and idea, every like you give my comment equals 1 sin
@@pro272727 I can't believe he's still accepting their ad buys.
@@FullyCharged22 I do not know about this what is wrong with betterhelp?
@@asim4243 You can use google or youtube to review their history. They do not vet anyone on their services, and are pretty scummy when it comes to patient rights.
Fun fact:
During the fire scene, you can see Lumbergh's car parked outside. No Bill in the crowd.
There is a deleted scene where the guys ask Peter if he's going to Lumbergh's funeral.
Milton set the fire and likely killed Bill Lumbergh in the process. Everyone was able to get out of the building except Bill? Nah, Milton made sure he burned up in there.
Yeah, I think they considered this too dark and removed it. I'm actually glad they did it.
Bruh, I learned something new about this awesome movie so Manny years later, haha. Thanks. 😂
Yep. Lumburgh died a horrible fiery death but thankfully they took out the reference to it. Too dark
"that'll teach him for taking my stapler!"
@@jamesnoble8205 a dark ending can sometimes be good in a movie.
Holy crap, the boss of that restaurant was Mike Judge?!? How am I just finding out about this?!?!
Yeah clearly he didn't want people to know that fact because he didn't even credit himself as "Mike Judge" for this character.
@@miahthorpatrick1013 Which is contrary to the ideals of his character, and the notion of 'flair'.
Judge advised that he based this character on a real-life incident he observed in just such a restaurant, the boss being a complete jerk to a totally helpless subordinate.
I missed it too.. he kinda did a really good lumberg impression though... I am sure it was not really obvious cause movies and stuff.
Message 3 is the most recent message on old school answering machines. Sin for the sin
Ron Livingston is a national treasure. I just watched Band of Brothers again for the 10th time and he all involved with that project were amazing.
This is a masterpiece, how dare you.
come on, you can tell how much he loves this movie
You left out one of the best lines in the movie. Granted it's full of great lines. Lol.
"You don't need a million dollars to do nothin. Take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do shit." Or something like that 😂🤣 gosh I love this movie
🤣
As someone who has worked in an office environment for 14+ years, this movie TOTALLY speaks to me 😂👍🏻
I saw this movie the first time at work. Several of my co-workers and I took over the training center and watched this on the big screen. Every so often, somebody would say "that guy is just like......" mentioning some boss from our office. This movie is quite accurate and the sin count is exaggerated.
Good job CS. I'm just going to have to go ahead and say that Office Space remains one the freshest, funniest and original comedies ever.
This episode is an oxymoron. There is nothing wrong with office space.
That was my first thought as well - and anything that is possibly wrong is atleast quadruply-offset by all the things it gets right.
Nothing wrong with the Trumps either. He always throws his political comment in each video.
Hard disagree.
No movie is without sin
@@marc07112 Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays!
"How does Peter have eight goddamned bosses?"
Matrix goddamned management.
I think the most I ever had thanks to that particular school of management was ten, although you do have to define "boss" as "person you report up to". But yeah, if anything, they're understating the sheer bloody-minded insanity. Throughout the whole damn film too.
Yeah sometimes at home I say boss and my wife asks which one, cause I have 2 direct co-bosses. But then they each have a different boss. So many times I say my Boss's Boss needed this etc. And of course then they have a director and he has a VP of a department, and then a senior VP of a group of departments...etc etc till you get to the CEO. So yeah, I have had many bosses at the same time all who may ask me to do something at any given time.
The auditors are obviously misunderstanding his sarcasm, but I’d define a “manager” the same way. Counting all the higher positions than mine, I have about 10, but fortunately I don’t have to see them all on a regular basis.
It's called an "org chart".
Superman 3 and now Office Space? I’m sensing a pattern.
Yeah... they did it in Superman 3.
I think Cinemasins is going to start taking the half pennies from accounting.
I sense a kung fu film sinning is on the way
@@mikeRedMDK2032 TV sins, probably
@Mister Roger lol, that's dark.
Back in highschool we watched this in "careers" class... I still don't know how the teacher got away with it.
5:30 How about a sin for the fact that every employee with glasses has the EXACT SAEM pair of glasses?
I got to have an office space moment not long ago. My company replaced our outdated computers and printers at the start of the year, and they were giving some of the worse ones away. One of which was one I had to use all the time and it and I had conflict. So I request to take it home, I took it out to the middle of the desert, and beat the ever living hell out of it. So seeing that scene, I understand that feel.
Milton's conversation about how they took his stapler and how he could "see the squirrels and they were married" should have been a sin off
I think it's "I could see the squirrels and they were merry"
@@redgreen82 no, it's married. Mike Judge confirmed in an interview that Milton saw two squirrels having sex and took it to mean that they were married
@@troymartin4260 why you gotta ruin Merry Squirrels for me? 🐿🐿 you sir, are a monster. Good day!
Having worked with people in any environment, that misspelling of "lose" happens all the time.
It's tough to take sins off for this movie, but you did a wonderful job, as usual.
I like how when he shuts down the computer, the menu has Mac key commands but after shutdown it goes to a c: prompt but macs have never shown the drive like that.
It has happened to everyone, a lot, but we still get over in the lane moving with the hope it’s the faster one.
60% of these can be explained with the answer “it’s the 90s”
And the sixties, seventies, eighties, two thousands, twenty-tens.
It's an especially '90s movie though, and gen x'ers everywhere know it. 😋
or that it takes place in Texas
@@originalcosmicgirl the font style titles don't age it or anything lol
Regarding desk-moving IT'S A THING! I work in an office that's mostly accountants, and every time someone gets promoted or a new person comes on they rotate the entire group just so the newbie can sit right outside the boss's office. As if neither they, or the boss, could walk the extra 6-10 feet from the next cube. And as the lone IT person, I get saddled with moving all their equipment because, God forbid they should have to move just their laptop and use a different keyboard and monitors!
if this doesn't end with -50 sins i'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday...
I started as a software engineer in 1995. I saw this movie when it came out I still enjoy this movie today. 22 year old movie and a lot still holds true today
Micheal McShane’s name was actually spelled correctly. He used to be on the original British Whose Line Is It Anyway? and I always remembered that. Look it up!
