'Office Space' Star Ron Livingston Reveals Movie Joke He Still Feels 'A Little Bad About' | TODAY - บันเทิง

I used to think Office Space was a comedy, but somewhere into my IT career I realized it is a documentary.
Agreed
Just like Idiocracy.
Jerry Lifsey I was going to say that too, lol
nice copy and paste
@@asicdathens Ya know it's probable Lumbergh iz a freemason in real lifewww.ourladyisgod.com/i-the-nobodyEditorial-10-4-2013-HorseRidingLessons.php
Office Space is just the alternate reality where Neo never learned about The Matrix
they reprogrammed the red pill to be a red stapler. it backfired (literally: the guy who used it woke up and realized he had to defy authority by blowing up the building to save himself before Neo and Trinity did it to save Morpheus).
Office space is pretty much the blue pill version of the matrix. They competed at the box office and were released on the same day
@@sominboy2757 were they really dont remember that?
Kind of-the USA release dates were a little over a month apart.
_Office Space:_ February 19, 1999 … _The Matrix:_ March 31, 1999
just reality
"It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."
That's probably my favorite line in the movie.
@@Rangersjp me too!
"I wouldn't say I am missing it Bob"
One of the most relatable lines in the whole movie. I've actually quit several jobs without actually quitting. "I don't like it. I think I'm just gonna stop going". Some call me irresponsible, but I call it "prioritizing precious time".
@@veggiesaremurder same. I've walked off jobs on the first day because I decided that it just isn't for me. But I'm also an incredibly hard worker. I just have to care about what I'm doing. I'm not lazy, I'm just not willing to invest labor into something I consider a waste of my time. Give me some part of the job that's exciting or interesting and I will be your best worker you've ever had.
Caveat: obviously this is assuming that I don't desperately need the job for food/rent/whatever
Not only did it nail modern cubicle based office work it also nailed commuting, casual restaurant work, and apartment living....it’s a gem 👍🏼
But the cubicle was originally meant to equalize the office. The legendary Gordon Moore of Intel - maybe the most important CEO in the history of Silicon Valley - worked in a cubicle alongside rank and file engineers. Now, it's become an unfortunate metaphor for dehumanization of the workplace.
@@uclajd "Open Spaces" are worst.
@@garryiglesias4074 I’ll tell you what’s the worst. The job that I just submitted my two weeks notice at has cubicles with clear windows. All the separation and dehumanization of a cubicle with none of the privacy. My supervisor could see all the way down the lane from her office, gives me the creeps. Makes me feel like I’m constantly being watched.
@@TheKingsPride you were, that was the point
@@happymonkey2013 yeah it was pretty terrible. Glad I’m out of there
He's aged well.
Mack Dlite Looks like switching to Blue Collar work really did him some good.
He looks like the result of if Charley Sheen and Seth MacFarlane banged. It's weird.
Nick Anderson and his teeth...
Not as good as jennifer.
Joe Schmoe yeah she just turned 50
And looks great!
This movie changed my life.. I was a programmer in San Jose, CA.. it led me to quit my job and remodel houses and then buy rental properties.. I did better than if I stayed in tech and funny enough. Like the lead character, my name is also Peter.. Everyone who worked on this movie should get a frickin gold medal as far as I am concerned.. Thank you Ron Livingston!
Wonder why they never showed us this movie at "Teambuilding" days anywhere I worked myself.
After a few years in IT, I went back to truck driving. I've tried a few other things since then but being left alone and seeing America is always awesome.
@@stevenkmiller After up to 10 years abroad, working for IT, I returned home to Norway after a having been assaulted in Athens - twice!
Got sacked between the two incidents.
Got home to Norway 7 years ago.
Earn more on selling street magazines than working for Norton, Microsoft and HP.
Get up and work when it suits me and not some micro manager of a boss.
Until the pandemic lockdown, I could afford going on vacations for a change..AND be stocked up on weed at the same time.
awesome man I'm glad you quit and started doing something you liked!
😍
Insiders say that TGIFridays actually got rid of their stupid "flair" policy because of this movie.
Now if more companies would learn from it.
Since then most of the world has got rid of TGIFridays.
@@danieldaniels7571 never seen more than three custmers inside the TGI Friday's near me. Been that way for years.
The rise in popularity in Office Space has coincided with the loss in popularity of tgiFridays.
Cause the Nazis wore flare.
I actually liked that restaurant. Used to go every Friday with my gal pals. But that time is gone.
The way Peter decided to prioritize his happiness over fitting in with the day to day monotony of the life we're expected to live was actually very inspiring to me.
*What did it inspire you to do?*
Same, now I work with animals instead of in an office.
I actually like my job now.
I guarantee after 5 years of doing laborer work he was thinking why did I quite my old job?
@@lunarsabbatical7906 *There's a movie to remind him why he quit his own job.* It's called Office Space.
@@hulkhatepunybanner2 chicks at the same time, man.
Just the mere opening scene of Office Space deserves 10 Oscars.
yes, I had no idea what I had rented when i did and that music starts and at first I was like WTF then the stuff with peter had me rolling, and Mike made me laugh harder and I lost it with Samir good gods brilliant film they don't make comedies like Office Space anymore
"if things be going well by the end of the night I'll be showing her my oh face, OH, OH, OH, OH, you know what I mean OH" LOLZ
@Stephen Ritger i would lose my mind listening to that all day to 😆
He sees the black guy, locks the door, turns down the music, and higher’s his window to if I remember correctly. 😂
Sergio. - Classic. True too.:.

I loves Ron Livingstons role in a Band of Brothers. He played the part so well, you felt like you knew his entire characters back story when they really gave you very little of it.
My professor in business school made us watch this movie as an assignment. By far the best lesson I've ever received in college!
Lucky guy, back in Highschool my "social science" teacher made us watch "The House on Haunted Hill" (1999) as part ofthe assignment.
I had my students watch it too!
I have shown clips frequently in my college classes.
Good professor
Office Space came out when I was in college, and miserable about my life choices. I told my friend that Ron's character really resonated with me and that I admired his choice. My friend thought I was crazy. I realized then how sheepish people were.
I met Ron Livingston at a supermarket in Hollywood. He was pleasant and chatted with me for a minute about the movie, and about how much fun they'd had making it. As it happens I'd just watched it (for probably at least the 5th or 6th time) the day before and told him I thought it was just hilarious, a classic that had not yet received its just due. He thanked me.
groovy
Got guts I'd be afraid he's plagued with the same questions but no matter what I asked I'd feel that way
I was a couple years into a cubicle job when that came out. It was such a breath of fresh air. And I quit that cubicle job.
No one cares.ah rite.
grakkerful:
So, how did that work out for you?
grakkerful I hope you got fulfillment in your next job!
Putting up that drywall on the new MacDonalds?
cabdolla mud men make good money.
Everything about this movie is golden. The Bobs. Milton’s ongoing problems. The TPS reports. Flair! Peter’s thin apartment walls. The printer scene. All of it … genius.
It had a good slice of workers. Computer programmers, annoying office people, mid-level executives, receptionist, office drone (milton), restaurant, and construction.
Looking back, Ron L played his part perfectly. He made it real. You honestly believe the character. It was a perfect performance. He can be very proud of this movie.
I like how he played a similar character in band of brothers too. Lieutenant Nixon is basically Peter if he got drafted in WW2, he's a fantastic actor 😂
I saw office space as a 15 year old troubled high school kid who hated school. It taught me to relax, take life less serious on a whole new level, immediately my grades went up, I started having fun more. A big reason I got to where I am today, just this little comedy from a different century.
How I try to live each day.
This movie changed my mind about becoming a software engineer.
This movie changed my mind on a basic level on how I lived my life. I became less angry, less uncomfortable, got in better shape and also improved my grades. The concept that if you keep a calm and casual attitude like Peter does in the middle third of the movie and still accomplish things and have fun became my general philosophy and although I don't like the last 30 minutes of this movie I am extremely grateful for how it changed my attitude and outlook on life. Out of all movies none resonated more than this one
That’s amazing!😊
bro, don't just throw in 'from a different century' like its ancient history. you're making us feel old
For a while, in the early 2000's, I remember comedy central probably played this movie once a week....
Pales in comparison to airing Beverly Hills cop 14 times a week
When Airheads wasn't on
This and Life with Bernie Mac.
Cocky Rooster yes! every Saturday afternoon, and I will just stop what I was doing and watch it from what ever point it was in the movie till the end.

The two Bob scene is a spot on parody of how cost cutting firms really work, they love to hear the disgruntled employees tell them what the problems were, then they would just turn them around and sell them to management of some really important ideas they found.
The Hypnosis scene was also spot on. I told my hypnotherapist about it and he nearly fell on the floor laughing.
I've used that line a million times. What would you say you do here?
What about today... is today the worst day of your life.
Yah ...
Man thats messed up
I just showed this movie to my 13 year old son. He loved it. What an important socioeconomic event this film had become . True art.
“I’ll tell you what I do, two chicks at the same time”
Fuck'n A
"the kinda chicks that'd double up on dude like me do"
kdogg good point
"Channel 9!"
"you don't need a million dollars to do nothing,... look at my cousin, he's broke and don't do sh!t".. lol!!!
The fact a guy nearly dies and gets made a paraplegic then gets a huge settlement and says: "See ... good things CAN happen!' Cos he can leave work was the most funny and profound moment of social commentary in cinema history. 😂 ... 😐
I think you’re jumping to some conclusions there
@@johansmallberries9874 It's a JUMP...to conclusions, Matt.
Yes and when Peter tries to shake his hand after that speech, he is resorted to touching him on his leg cast cause the man is all on screws and his hands are all f’d up😄
That's basically my life now, minus the full body cast & settlement (haven't got it yet)
I mean... look at me!
"We've noticed you've missed a lot of work lately."
"Well, I wouldn't say I missed it..."
Truer words have never been spoken about the American workplace. And the scene where Jennifer Anniston explains that everybody is unhappy with their job, is just sad but undoubtedly true.
it's by design. By being an emotionless, passionless cog in the machine, you don't question your function.
Peter : (yelling through the wall) Hey Lawrence. Wanna come over?
Lawrence: No thanks man. I don’t t want you f$&@!?n ’ up my life too.
One of my favourite scenes!
"you're stealing money from crippled children?'
The “cornhole” line always made me 😂
The Michael Bolton scene was the funniest thing I had ever seen. This is coming from a man named Michael Jackson to lay it out and make it funny made my year better. At the same time showing everyone what it was like to grow up with a famous name
Michael A Jackson Films That's awesome. Having a name like that must be weird sometimes but it sounds like you handle it just fine. According to your profile pic, if you're black, I'm sure that adds to that. I think it would be weird to have someone else's name, which I don't. Gonna check out your channel. Thanks.
Are you related to that singer Michael Jackson?
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi yes, he's my dad.... Seriously, did you see Office Space? Did you read my comment?
When Michael Jackson died did you feel you could finally come out of his shadow and be your own man?
@@PapagenoMF NOPE! Gonna ride his coat tails forever!
Sounds like someone's having a case of the Mondays.
willie makit I reckon you could punched in the face for saying something like that.
@Mike Neil lmao. 😁😁😁
I can barely handle one, let alone a whole case of them.
Office Space and Idiocracy are too of the most underrated movies, not just comedies, but legit films, ever made.
Silicon Valley the show is also Mike Judge and its incredibly accurate too
dude...never, maybe in your world. But neither are UNDER RATED...saying anything us under rated is over done and played out. Something kids say when they don't understand something....its not under rated its fuh king 24 years old. Kids don't watch their parents movies. They play their parents games but its like me being told to watch a movie from the 70s or 80s....I just can't its garbage.
It was great, but they don't have a long shelf life. You see a movie once. If its good, you see it a few more times. Then you only watch it once every four or five years...its not under rated, you're just late to the party...how old are you? either your and old man or a little kid.....someone my generation would never say such a "rude" thing about such a great movie. its not under rated, you're over rated lol
@@ravinraven6913 your lack of self awareness is pretty wild here. Seek help.
Saying Idiocracy is underrated and misspelling a word in the same sentence is nothing short of ironic.
I get your guys point, but in all fairness they are underrated. They didn't blow out any box office numbers or records. They became more appreciated over time, but when comparing how they stack rank to other "big box office hits" in terms of widespread critical acclaim and mass reception, they have both flown under the radar when considering Mike Judge's level of genius.
He is actually one of my favorite actors. I think he’s is criminally underrated.
Great as capt nixon
I also liked him in The Practice.
His pep talk to Mike in Swingers is gold. Not just the writing, but his delivery. And his Nixon in BoB was indeed spectacular.
It's really a shame that both he and David Herman didn't have much of a career after Office Space - they're both terrific comedic actors and Office Space should have been their breakthrough.
He was great in Band of Brothers. Wish we saw him more.
His performance is a historical reflection of the era the movie was set in. He is a legend. Office Space will continue to transcend the ages.
The real Michael Bolton seems to have a helluva sense of humor about it all, though. It takes a strong character to roll with a legendary roasting like that.
He even since filmed a couple of the scenes where he plays the character as a lark. Also I've heard he signs Office Space DVDs for his fans.
Soooooooboooooring.
He actually hated it at first, but later accepted and embraced it. Then he did a skit for a comedy thing.
20-something IT guys really aren't his target demographic. It was a boatload of free publicity for him.
It wasn't really a roasting so much as a general reference to him existing
Lawrence was one of the best things in this movie. He represented the blue collar community perfectly. (20 years in industrial maintenance. Good job that requires you to be a jack of all trades, gives a degree of autonomy, using your head to fix problems, and allows you to learn everyday.) I couldn't imagine being stuck in a cubicle with a niche task. And yes, we're all a lot like Lawrence. Sadly there's getting to be a severe shortage of skilled labor as many schools don't offer shop classes and working with your hands seems to have gotten a bad stigma.
I love how genuinely pleased he was with the whole experience of making the film looking back on it
Office Space is a brilliant masterpiece that captures the very essence of work life for the majority of people.
We were saying that is was ahead of its time.
50 years from now this will still be an all time favorite showing on whatever classic movie channel that’s around.
This guy is so refreshing to listen to, he was brilliant in Office space and could pull off telling a real life story in Band of Brothers. Great actor.
He was so awesome in this movie. Way underrated as an actor.
His slightly perma-cocked eyebrow affectation is distracting though.
Same goes for David Herman. So sad that they didn't have any big roles after this - this film should have been their breakthrough.
He is one of the most underrated actors working today. As for office space the film....timeless
Was great in Band of Brothers too. He looked like the real life Lewis Nixon, who was in fact a total alkie.
"Ya see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."
"I think in a typical week I do about 15 minutes of actual work"
“Well I wouldn’t say I’ve been missing it Bob”
hahaha best quote of the movie, this comment is getting 1k likes if ppl know whats good for em
Look at Sameer's stomping heel kick. Great form.
Very true. I like the way Samir takes the bat and holds it up to Michael to get his turn in. Totally like a street gang jump-in fight.
I wonder if WWE wrestler Seth Rollins saw this movie when he came up with his Curb Stomp finishing move?
So everyday you see me is on the worst day of my life.
How about today? Is today the worst day of your life?
Yeah...
Wow thats messed up
It was a GREAT movie. It's a CULT CLASSIC.
Robert Pirlot is that sarcasm?
@@pigeonoverlord9433 No. I've actually seen this Movie like a thousand times like Fight Club.
1999. Big year for movies. I could be saying that sarcastically but its actually true
Why do you TALK like THIS.
YeAh
I saw this film being filmed for a couple scenes. I thought it looked like the cheapest, uninteresting movie ever and laughed from my apartment patio at how amateurish it looked. Little did I know I’d love it and would became a cult classic. It captured that late 90s lifestyle so perfectly it was scary. The cubicle corporate life. The cheesy after work hangouts. Dead end relationships, dead end jobs, and traffic jams. Not to mention the apartment lifestyle there.
and yet we have now...masks, 4 box stores and Joe Biden to look at.
@@johndough23 Much better than more body bags and the orange clown.
@@tyschues …..Umm, what? Pres Trump was about the least war hawkish leader of the US in recent memory. That black guy before him was an absolutely, globally pot stirring schidtt-bag in comparison, launching all manner of military strikes and deploying tens of thousands of drone attacks to effect his ideological political will etc. Where do you get your thoughts issued to you from, cereal packets, shampoo advertising, CNN etc, because documented reality might be something you’d find a touch more mentally nutritious than the synthetic product you’ve been digesting.
@@tyschues FUNNY how the Russians invaded Ukraine under Obama and now under Biden, but never while Trump was President. 🤔
@@tyschues : not really
My favorite thing Ron Livingston ever did outside of Office Space was play Cpt Lewis Nixon in Band Of Brothers. He was brilliant.
It's a rare movie where so many new faces deliver roles of a lifetime. The relative lack of stars make it far easier to inhabit the world of the characters. A classic.
I vaguely remember the whole work smarter not harder thing from the 90's.
And now we have too many lawyers and not enough linemen.
How in the nine hells did this guy not age in 20 years?!
Actually, to me he was totally unrecognizable. Attractive, but I would never had guessed it was him.
Life as an actor, man (edit: well… a famous actor, anyway)
Very noticeable bags under his eyes. Probably from living like Captain Nixon from Band of Brothers.
Jayyy Zeee He’s the Peter Gibbons clone made by Swingline... ha. Most of the cast seems to have aged well. Gary Cole, Judge, Ajay and Anniston, especially. They made the Milton character look older so I have no idea about Root.
serious?
Office Space is one of those movies that holds up. You can watch many times over the years and it is still funny, still witty and still worth watching again and again. Had it got some real marketing it could have been big. Oh well. We,ll keep Office Space as our little secret.
My favorite scene is when Lumberg steps in front of Peter to block him and Peter just side steps around him.
Actually. when you do "blue-collar work", the one advantage (apart from doing exercise in some way) it has is that working hours will pass MUCH more quickly.
You obviously have never picked and stacked hay under the hot and humid summer sun, then go an unload it in the hot humid and stuffy no air movement barn loft. You are truly out of your mind if you think that day goes quickly....please.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 shut up
AND you have something to show for your work!
Dude sitting at a computer all day is just bad for your health
@@akshaynatu1084 Even worse, there's an alternate ending in which the construction foreman walks up to Peter and says "Ahhhh, if you guys . . . could pick up the pace a little, that'd be greaaat." Meet the new boss--same as the old boss. I'm glad they didn't use that ending. It's a real downer. th-cam.com/video/XK43Ureuiqc/w-d-xo.html
My daughter who is 38 watch this movie once a year, Ron is mistaken though, this movie is so great because its so realistic. The cast was perfect especially him, the fact that he gave up a job to do something that made him happy was just icing on the cake.
The rest is/was a lot of peoples reality. I wonder if he knows how popular it actually is! Poor marketing put it into early DVD release and many people i know still have an office space night once a year to watch with friends.
It was one of the first off set movie to have a hip-hop soundtrack. It was its own genre at the time. Loved it!
By "off set", do you mean "non black cast/produced" or "hood/urban" movie? Because I can name 10 films that had an all hip-hop/rap soundtrack made before this. However, none of them featured a mainly white production and cast.... I'm not trying to start a race thing here, but... yeah, there were a LOT of films made early-mid nineties that had an all hip-hop sundtrack. And the only thing I can find different about this film to them is the "targeted" demographic ;)
Even if "off set" means "non soundstage", you are way off...
If you've ever been in traffic, the opening will crack you up. And when Aniston asks if he quit his job he says no, he's just gonna to stop going. This is my all time funniest, laugh till I couldn't breath, tears coming from my eyes movies ever.
Never doubt the power of Mike Judge. He has an eye for memorable comedy.
Idiocracy.
Hehehe, yeah, he's cool, hehehe.
This is so relatable. As someone else said, this is more of a documentary that captures the pain and humor of life working at an office. Truly no other movie identifies so much to many as this one does. It has to be one of my all-time favorite movies, higher than Idiocracy.
It's the film simply everyone who ever had a dull office job *must* have seen. It also started off the trend of office-related comedy shows and films. The Office, which was also a great show in its own way, premiered two years later, and while the style of comedy was of course very different, the influence is obvious. And in one of the early episodes of The Office they even mention a Mr Gibbons - coincidence? I think not.
Outstanding movie!! I watch it whenever I can. It never grows old. Some of the best lines ever in that movie! Mike Judge created a masterpiece. He is a comedic genius.
For sure, Mike is a genius!!
Mike Judge really is one of the most under appreciated comedic geniuses of our time. It's amazing how much great stuff he has done - Beavis and Butthead of course, but so there are so many more: Milton, King of the Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy, Silicon Valley...
“Why should I have to change my name? He’s the one that sucks”
No talent hack
It's one of the best movies ever made. That's why it has staying power.
Mike Judge genius
Great movie, changed my life. And Ron Livingston seems like an awesome, humble, and talented guy.
I started watching this a year after working in customer service... I started going after my dream instead and boy IS IT AWESOME!!!! I do in fact like waking up @ 7 in the morning when I DON’T have to go some job where I get yelled at for every little thing. Thanks office space!
“We, as humans, are not meant to sit behind a computer screen all day.” So true...
Um, yeah. We’re gonna need you to come in on Saturday to continue more of this interview.
I'm working in IT for almost 10 years so far.
Each year of career starts with watching Office Space. One year it will be the last time and it will be time to change my life.
What’s funny is that I have been to many different countries around the world, and it doesn’t matter where I go, every IT person knows Office Space inside out.
Because it is our biography!
@@theself5738 so true.
I work as a car salesman, I have a red stapler sitting on my desk. So far, only two customers have noticed it and brought up this movie since I bought it two years ago
The one film that everyone can relate to

I'm sure Jennifer remembers you well Ron! No one can forget someone so funny and handsome.
I remembering watching “Cruel Intentions” at the theatre and sneaking in to see “Office Space”. The talk on the way home and over ICQ was all quotes from “Office Space”. Good god, I aged myself.
It makes sense in the movie that Michael Bolton (the character) would hate Michael Bolton the singer since all he seems to listen to is hardcore rap.
Eric J THATS THE JOKE!
@@jnnx I'm just saying that Livingston seems to view it as a general diss of Michael Bolton, rather than something specific to that character.

They so need a sequel follow up to this classic... Top 10 movies of all time for sure...
I’ve worked outdoor jobs my whole life and this is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I always believed this movie was what office jobs were always like but the funny stuff was what office people always wanted to do but didn’t.
sorry, you just don't know how great you have had it. Yes, I made probably a little more (at times, maybe) than you might have. But, damned, I sold my soul. And, we had to spend more on entertainment, parking ($100/week per car, so $200/w wife & I), vehicle expenses, expensive clothes, more gas, etc., just to keep everything going. We even had to pay a therapist, babysitters, etc. Not worth that type of life, is what I've learned now -- as I've got older. If I could only go back and live your life, I sure would.
Every once in a while when talking about some singer I will use the 'I celebrate his entire collection' line. And Todd Duffy was cast perfectly for Brian the waiter role.
I believe its "entire portfolio"
Mark Me You sure it wasn't catalog?
@@sciencecompliance235 *i'm* sure it's catalog. discography would've been another funny word to use
There’s a hilarious cut scene where he says something like, “His rare Live In Tokyo record he released a couple months ago... I snagged it.” He follows up the line with his iconic hissing laugh.
Just the fact that both of them are named Bob is so brilliant because that’s exactly the kind of crap that happens in the corporate world.
We'll be getting rid of these people here... First, Mr. Samir Naga... Naga... Naga... Not gonna work here anymore, anyway.

One of my all-time favorites. The reason it bombed at the box office is because it was so poorly marketed. Introducing it as having come "from the creators of Beavis and Butthead" was a baffling idea because this movie wasn't geared towards the 1990s teenage MTV audience at all.
You’re exactly right. It’s why I wasn’t interested. I didn’t see it til 2 weeks ago and have watched it 3 times since.
They also marketed it as a Jennifer Aniston movie too.
@@scottgreenberg1596 Probably because she was, in fact, in the movie and was the only well-known star in the cast at that time. But she was only in the trailer for a few seconds and wasn't featured on the movie poster, so I wouldn't say it was marketed as a Jennifer Aniston vehicle.
The scene I relate to the most is the very beginning when he hesitates to open the door because he knows he's gonna get shocked
The 2 scenes that are so subtle but perfectly realistic to real life for me are when they are crossing through the business park drainage ditch to get to the restaurant & them standing akward in the boss's mcmansion back yard with the super tall fence blocking out the cell tower in suburbia....friggin nailed it.😅😂🤣
3:50 - "Where would your character would be now"
LOL Nice proofreading.
The funny thing about this is - Office Space actually gave Michael Bolton's career a bit of a boost. He wasn't very much in the public eye prior, and after this he actually got a resurgence of album sales. And now he's doing comedy making fun of himself, so he should actually thank you guys for that running Michael Bolton gag :)
Colin Fox who told you this?
@@JK-vc7ie its true he did a comedy special on Netflix last Valentine's day

I have no idea how this movie only made 12 mill box office. This is one of those movies that defines the 90’s along with Clerks, SFW, Swingers, etc... One of the few movies I could watch everyday and never tire of.
When I first watched Office Space, much of the humour went way above my head... then my wife (who loved it) made me watch it again! ...After that, I was forever a fan.
And our son is now too!!
this is one of the most iconic films in history. It's aged pretty well too.
My favorite guy in the whole movie was Milton......EVERY MILTON scene was AWESOME!!!!! From the "You took my stapler" to the "I'm gonna burn this place to the ground!" THAT has been my life most of the time at every company I have worked at!!
I think at the very end, Milton threatens to put stricknine in the guacamole.
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 Well, some of the management (sadly) probably would have deserved that concoction from Milton.
I'm not sure why, but the part when Michael loses it and starts punching the printer with his bare knuckles always cracks me up. You can see the hate and disgust in his eyes.
When I was in the Navy, I printed out the actual TPS cover sheet memo and put it in a bunch of higher up's inboxes.
Hey did you know you didn't put the new cover sheets on the TPS reports?
And I'm just gonna make sure you get another copy of that memo, okay?
@@devodavis6454 UUUUmmmm Yeah and I am gonna need you to work this weekend.
in the coast guard i literally did TPS reports
@@Anonymous-nj2ow Did you put cover sheets on them? Did you work on Saturdays? And sundays?
Does anyone know what TPS actually stood for?
epic film
I loved him in band of brothers
So many lines taken from this movie and used in my normal life with people that have seen the movie. It really lightens of the day.
Yeah... I'm going to need you to come out on Saturday…
I can confirm. Jennifer Aniston is legitimately an awesome person. It's hard to say that about a lot of actresses, but she is pure joy from what I have seen.
Genius Movie, casting was glorious, written beautifully, I watch it at least twice a year.
But who are you?
Mike Judge is a genius with this script. And I had no idea until recently that he was in the movie hiding behind a mustache and glasses!
I want to talk to you about your pieces of flair
@@Kp-pk9nl Do you think the bare minimum is enough?
This movie was largely responsible for pushing me over the edge to quit my job...which is ironic as it was my boss that recommended that I see the movie. Everything that was happening to the character Peter was EXACTLY what I was experiencing. Seeing the movie allowed me to see my life in context.
I will never know how office space didn’t become an all time classic when it was released
It did become a cult classic though, it was not that successful at the box office, but it's become highly popular ever since.
I work in a grocery store, and i can relate to the whole being miserable in a crappy job thing, love it, the film is a classic, i still watch it to this day.
It came out at the perfect time for the nascent internet culture to blow it up. Great movie, had a lot of fun trading quotes back and forth on forums back in 1999/2000 (and since).
This movie get me thru my rough times. So thanks Ron.
