This movie is a meme factory and cult classic. Anyone who has ever worked in engineering, or just in a cubicle office in general, can relate to every second of this movie. Especially those who worked in those environments back in the 90s.
Actually anyone in general can relate to this movie because the characters themselves are what make this movie great.
My first job was in an office and I hated every minute of it same with warehouse work that shit breaks your spirits and personality 😂 went onto building sites best thing I ever done was learn a trade
I went into a restaurant called TGIFridays. It's the restaurant that the restaurant in the movie was based on. It's hilarious. It's exactly like that. I couldn't decide if it was the worst thing ever or the best. It was equally funny and horrifying.
Can relate, as an engineer in the late 90s
Facts!
Laurence's slowly escalating disgust at the idea of someone saying "A bad case of the Mondays" is hilarious
lol, yeah and that perfect deadpan stare
Yeah. Most of us, our anger at that statement is generally immediate.
"I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be." Totally my vibe.
Peter Gibbons is my spirit animal.
"You don't need a million dollars to do nothin', man, take a look at my cousin. He's broke, don't do shit!"
Absolutely. It's a real luxury to have some time where there is absolutely nothing you have to do.
I'm Lawrence's cousin, can confirm it's great.
This movie legitimately changed my outlook on life and gave me so much peace and patience when I first watched it - one of my favourite comfort watches
Happy to hear this David 🙏🏽
Same. For better or for worse, I actually kind of took on Peter's behavior in all things. I kind of just do what I want. I don't let weird arbitrary rules and things keep me down. If I don't like a situation, I just walk away. If I want to tell someone something, I say it plainly and unfiltered.
Sometimes it has hilariously worked out. Sometimes people just let you get away with anything. Sometimes they don't.
The movies optimism hilariously shines through with "Just remember. If you hang in there long enough, good things can happen in this world. I mean, look at me." lol
I attended a watch party sponsored by a local theater. They handed out tiny red staplers and gifts. After the movie was over we went to the parking lot and they brought out a vintage printer similar to the one in the movie and allowed people to take a few swings with a baseball bat they provided.
This movie came out when I was a month into my first IT job. My lead just came up to me and told me I had to see it and wouldn't explain why.
Watching it in the theater, I thought all the dead-on comparisons to our office from the excessive management, metal surfaces that shocked you, and insane printers were it, until Michael's name came up.
Yes, I am Michael Boulton, and at that point people had almost STOPPED, making jokes about my name. Thanks in large part to this movie, it's almost an oddity when someone DOESN'T make a joke about it when hearing my name for the first time.
It took me a while to accept it as a great ice breaker when meeting people and enjoy it instead of being annoyed, but I did finally get there. Now it just makes me smile.
So I worked at T.G.I. Friday’s when this movie came out and the flair thing is totally legit. I was literally written up and sent home twice for not having enough flair (15 pcs). You have no idea how much this movie resonated with my generation. We were all young adults wondering if this was all there was. Wondering if our best years were behind us and all that was ahead was a soul-stealing job, a family, living vicariously through your kids, retiring and death. That’s how is was coming from boomer parents and having a much smaller world without the Internet. This movie was so iconic and you’re all welcome for my gen x Ted talk
Swingline didn’t have a red stapler before this movie, but released one afterwards if I’m not mistaken. We bought two 😂
I used to have one on my desk at work and my coworkers who knew the movie would get a kick about it 😂.
So many people demanded red ones that it instantly became their top seller, and Mike Judge said they gave him a "generous" piece of it, which I think is awesome.
@@everyonelovesmajima I still have mine, as shiny as the first day I got it 😂
I had a red one from long before this movie and I still have it.
I bought my buddies each one for Christmas. They still use them
Fun fact: Mike Judge is a huge fan of gangster rap. That's why there's so much rap in this movie. The execs at 20th Century Fox really didn't want it in the movie. But test audiences loved the soundtrack so much they had to keep it in.
Most of those songs were by his fellow Houstonians The Geto Boys and Down for Whatever is by Ice Cube.
The Geto Boys actually did an Office Space tour. This reignited their popularity.
Just re-watched this movie a couple weeks ago. It really hits home for those of us who worked in cubicles for years at a time. The writer/director, Mike Judge, is also the man behind the cartoons Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill, and the movie Idiocracy. All classics.
Also Extract(movie) and Silicon Valley(HBO show) which I thought were both pretty great.
@@Blynat I haven't seen Extract. I heard it was good but I just seem to keep putting it off. Is it really worth the time? Oh, and Mike Judge is in this movie as the manager, Stan, at the restaurant where Jennifer Anniston's character, Joanna, works. He's uncredited however.
And Mike played the manager who lectured Anniston on her use of flair.
@@AnnPMadera he is absolutely hilarious in his role like how hes making those faces with his eyes wide open
The second Beavis and Butthead movie is going to be on Paramount + on Thursday.
You're so right about this movie being generational. This movie really showcased the Gen X struggle of trying to follow in the boomers footsteps and realizing how shitty the lifestyle really is
As Tyler Durden said “We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. No Great War. No Great Depression.
@@MrAdamloring1985 the most gen x got was the first gulf war and everyone knew how much of a bullshit conflict that was
@@MrAdamloring1985 our great war is a spiritual war... our great depression... is our lives
Diedrich Bader was SO funny in this! "Hey, Peter. Watch your cornhole, bud." Words to live by!
Fuckin' A, man.
You're so right about the Generational relevance. We (GenX) were the last generation raised with this idea of Company Loyalty. Not a single damned one of us was prepared for the enormity of that lie. Movies like this one (and certain books like Douglas Coupland's Microserfs--a personal favorite) were so cathartic as we were, almost to a person, let down by the system we had more or less sworn fealty to. On the other hand, it's freeing as hell to realize that, if The Company doesn't care about ME, I don't have to care about THEM, either.
Well, the generations under you have always assumed that cut-throat pricks run everything.
I loved Microserfs. I'm pleased someone else read it.
I'm an old Millennial, born in the early 80s. I figured that racket out pretty quick. Just saying, my slightly older brother. Of course I'm 40 and fairly poor now.
This movie was criminally underrated when it came out now it is a cult classic. So many classic lines. " Case of the Mondays" " O face". Don't forget the cake scene. Everybody got a piece of cake besides ole boy. Lol
Gary Cole's performance as Lunberg is so iconic.... "yeeeaaahhh"
Did you know that before this movie Swingline didn't make a Red Stapler but when Aragorn kicked the helmet he broke his toe for real before Leo actually cut his hand and bled on that scene and carried on?
So I worked at TGI Fridays back in the '90s and the restaurant that she works for is basically a TJ Fridays they just change the color scheme. But the suspenders the 15 points of flare and we also had a wear crazy hat was part of the uniform. And I knew people like that one blonde guy that was just so super super into wearing flair. They nailed it!
Lol I heard that TGI Friday actually got rid of their flair because of this movie haha
@@V_4_Versace I don't know why they got rid of the whole flare thing but thank God that they did because it was so ridiculous.
@@V_4_Versace Unfortunately, not until AFTER I quit. Sigh....
I deeply, deeply love that printer scene. I think everyone who has worked in an office has had a printer that jams far too often, but on the other level it's such a great pastiche of a gangster movie execution. It's such an inspired combination there
"PC Load Letter" means that letter-sized paper needs to be loaded into the paper cassette. The printer was fine, it just needed paper but the message was too vague for it's own good.
yup. wrong paper format in the printer: Cause 90% of errors
Huh?
@@krissiep1317 th-cam.com/video/b2LqtP6epew/w-d-xo.html
This reaction made my case of the Monday's so much better.
Diedrich Bader is one of those actors you recognize but can never remember their name. He also played the sensei, Rex, in Napoleon Dynamite. “Break the wrist; walk away”
Hell yeah! Low key crush.
He was also Batman 🙂 (and Professor Badonkadonk)
He's also in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back as the security dude who apprehends the American Pie guy.
"Now, HE'LL be the pie."
If you’re looking for a good watch, with pop culture references, and social commentary. I highly recommend Idiocracy also done by Mike Judge
Roger that
Idiocracy was considered a requirement when I was working QA for Electronic Arts :)
That, along with "Grandma's Boy" (same genre as Office Space) were homework assignments if you hadn't seen them! 😂🤣😂🤣
"Grandma' Boy" is 100% accurate on what the life of working at a video game studio is like!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤘😎🤘
@@JamesVSCinema Idiocracy is just a movie, but it’s becoming more of a documentary these days! 🤣
@@michaelriddick7116 Grandmas Boy is literally my favorite movie ever, can quote the entire movie!
Idiocracy has become a documentary 😂
“Everyone needs a Lawrence in their Life” truer words have not been spoken
"Don't worry man, I won't tell anyone either!"
"Who the fuck is that?!?"
Always kills me.
My dad was an IT Computer Systems Analyst for 12 years before becoming IT Director for another 15 years. This movie hit close to home for him on so many levels. There were days when he would come home from work almost in a zombified state and I would always ask him if he had a case of the mondays. Lol
I actually really like The Bobs. They were hired to help improve the Company's workflow and interview everyone to get a sense of what the actual procedures are, but everyone lies to them. Everyone is so afraid of losing their job (understandably so) that they make it sound like they're always busy and making essential contributions to the company, which The Bobs know is complete horseshit. Then along comes Peter, who's giving no shits, and just lays out the blunt truth of his daily work routine.
So The Bobs are like, "FUCKING FINALLY, some truth, thank you Peter, very much!" And that's why they suggest him as upper management material. Current upper management likes to exert their power by bogging everyone down with meaningless reports and memos, which is bad. So by making someone like Peter upper management, they can clear up procedures and streamline everyone's workflow. Productivity goes up, The Bobs get paid. The way they start digging in to Lumberg is just *mwah*
Well except for the guy whose job it is to talk to the customers. He was entirely honest. It's not his fault the Bobs don't understand why you can NEVER let the engineers talk to the customers.
@@SuperDoNotWant that might be true, but he was setting himself up as a single point of failure and into a position of control, which you don't want in a company. also, his burst of angry annoyance is a behavior you also didn't want in a customer facing position
This movie has had a huge influence on every film that came after it when it comes to settings in offices. Office Space is just a solid flick in all areas.
That scene with the dude rapping in the car is so real! We used to load up (4 white dudes from a small country town in Idaho) and just belt out 2Pac and Snoop but in the city we kept it pretty low key. 😂🤣😂
I love Diedrich Bader (he plays Lawrence). I met him at a press event a friend of my dad's invited us to for the Beverley Hillbillies movie (Bader plays Jethro) in 1993. It was kind of weird because he's always cast in roles where he's kind of a naive pollyanna type, but he's actually really smart and incredibly kind. He gave me an entire cheese platter. I mean, technically it was for me and my brothers, but screw them. I was eight years old and hungry and they didn't see.
He was great paired with Ryan Stiles as Oswald and Lewis on The Drew Carey Show.
He was great as the karate instructor in Napoleon Dynamite.
@@feralart I actually forgot he was in that show, and I don't know how, because he was fantastic.
Seeing "Dodgeball" and realizing that Milton is on the squad was priceless
That dude is in so many movies, you'll start to catch on. I noticed he was in 'No Country for Old Men' as Woody Harrelson's boss.
Fun Fact: they spoofed the scene where they beat the hell out of the printer in an episode of Family Guy, this time, Stewie and Brian take Peter's Surfing Bird Record, having grown tired of hearing of the song, and smash it to pieces. Lol!!
Remember this!
Stephen Root is such an under appreciated actor.
Veep, Masters of Sex, Fargo, The Men who Stare at Goats, Get Out!, No Country for Old Men, Boardwalk Empire...so many great roles.
Barry!
King in the High Castle!
Also quite good in Turn, the FX show which almost nobody watched.
Talk Radio
Always happy to see Root pop up in a role.
5:16 - bold of you not to censor that.
The printer scene is so excessive, I absolutely love it... At my old job we'd all watched this movie many times, and we all had red swingline staplers, we had a big banner saying "is this good for the company", we had TPS report cover sheets, and even a jump to conclusions mat.
Like ironically right? Please say it was ironically lol
@@V_4_Versace Of course!
Lol. We tried to come up with TPS reports in our office but it didn't work out.
@@dirtyhawkstv1575 that's the joke. They never work out
No lie, the everyday is the worst day of my life scene was my voicemail message. After doctor said wow that's messed up, it beeped to leave your message haha. Great reaction
One of my all time faves. Still holds up, an absolutely timeless classic. Iconic lines
This was the second movie I reacted to on my channel and it instantly became one of my favourite movies. God knows how it passed me by in the first place!
Also, I like how you put this out on a Monday 🤙
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays
Hi Ryan!
@@krissiep1317 ohhh heyyyyy 👋
"Idiocracy", from the same director, is a total must-watch.
Extract, by Mike Judge who wrote and directed it and is a superior film to Idiocracy.
Side note: If John C. McGinley is in it, it’s a great movie (or TV show).
This and Idiocracy are closer to documentaries than comedies.
Mike Judge FTW
Fun fact the dude playing Jennifer Aniston's boss is the writer/director Mike Judge
"You don't need a million dollars to do nothin" - Lawrence
This is my favorite comedy/documentary of all time.
I once had a regional manager who made all the managers in her territory watch this as an example of how NOT to manage people.
Now that sounds like a good manager... or at least an aware one
This is a different movie if you see it in different phases of your life. I watched it when I was 19, in college, and saw it as a comedy. Then I rewatched it at 28 while working in an office for 2 years, and it was almost a drama lol
The actor who played Michael Bolton tells a story about how a few years after the movie came out he was in New York when he went into a coffee shop that he didn't realize was frequented by individuals from a certain Italian social club (mafia). One of the larger members of the club spots him and starts staring at him. eventually the man walks over and asks him if he was the guy from Office Space? He says yes and then the gentleman says to him "You know the scene with the printer? That's just how you do it"
This movie hurts so bad as I had a job extremely similar to Inotech... Too real man lol
This movie is incredibly understated (and maybe underrated)
Down in the cubicles it's, "DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE MOTHERFUCKER STILL"!
Mike Judge is mainly revered for his work on King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-Head but for me he is a premiere voice for many subcultures of life that has gone overlooked by so many in the medium. Idiocracy being another classic from him that’s scary in how relatable and future predicting it became.
He also was the genius behind the movie Extract with Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Mila Kunis, and Gene Simmons from KISS. A much better film and better jokes than Idiocracy.
I remember my first office job, a passive aggressive manager overheard me telling a coworker how funny and accurate this movie is, and the very next week I saw a copy of the DVD at her desk! Yikes!
“Everybody needs a Lawrence in their life.” Thanks for the shout out!
"Sounds like someone has A cAsE oF tHe MoNdAyS!" 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂💗💗💗💗
*immediate RKO*
The Gangsta songs were by his fellow Houstonians The Geto Boys and the song Down for Whatever is by Ice Cube.
The printer scene, is one of the best scenes ever shot! The Godfather, when the door closes on Kay , then the printer scene. 1, and 2 in cinema history.
Probably my favorite subtle joke from this movie that basically no one notices is when they are at Tom's party and it reveals there is a giant ass water tower in his backyard. Even though he's living the American suburban dream, there is still a giant piece of ugly man-made construction blocking out the beauty of the natural world.
Though uncredited: the restaurant manager was played by Mike Judge, who created the film. His movie Idiocracy was another sleeper cult hit.
His other movie, Extract, is way funnier and a superior film to Idiocracy.
@@dunhill1 I've been meaning to catch that one.
One of those near perfect movies, the script is just flawless.
Dude you got to watch Swingers...its such a 90's movie and it has baby Vince Vaughn in it. Such a classic.
To those of us who lived and worked in this environment, this is more than just a film, it is a religious experience. I worked as an engineer for 30 years and I can honestly say, I had every demoralizing experience that happened in this film happen to me. This film is kind of like blues music, you feel the same way Peter does because you have lived through the same scenarios. Mike Judge is a genius at depicting the stereotypical societal archetypes. I have worked with the Michaels, the Samirs, the Tom's. and the Drew's, and unfortunately had to work for a few Lumberghs in my time. I feel better every time I watch this film.
I'm going to be 66 and retire from the IT biz. Kept going because of COVID and was working from home anyways. I think the Lumberghs are more prevalent now than when this movie came out.
James: Oh word, Band of Brother's guy!
Me: Oh hey, that's the Office Space guy! Oh shit, ROSS!?!?
This movie always reminded me of my father who worked in a similar career path.
I remember going to a screening of this during SXSW in Austin, and Mike Judge was there showing clips of the movie he'd been working on, very nice guy.
Yo you're one of the first TH-cam reactors who included ole dude in the car listening to the Scarface song... THANK YOU.. that's like my fav. part lolol
Of note is that this is one of a few big movies released in 1999 about a bored/downtrodden cubicle employee finding a new paradigm to live under (American Beauty, Fight Club, and The Matrix are the others)
James PLEASE start reacting to Barry! I honestly think it's the best show on TV. Comedy, drama, action, cinematography, every episode and every season just gets better.
Does that mean it's on the list? ;P
The seriousness of Lawrence delivering the line, "You know what I'd do? Two chicks at the same time." absolutely kills me! He meant that shit in his soul! 😂😂😂
A good definition of a great character actor could be the ability to play the gap between Milton in Office Space and Fuches in Barry.
And that is QUITE a gap.
Stephen Root just makes everything he’s been in better.
🐐ed.
I love that the "way better" restaurant is just the same TGI Friday's, with different table cloths.
This is real too. When I was in food service, it became clear that all the restaurants suck, and the workers just move from place to place, hoping the next one will be better.
I loved this film.
Anyone who has ever worked in a "cube farm" can totally relate.
Seen this easily a dozen times and I would probably use it as a training film hiring someone. I still laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it.
5:54 One of the greatest deliveries of one of the greatest lines of all-time, and this film is just one after another.
Such a brilliant movie.
This movie is mandatory watching for anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle. Also your youth is showing. That, my sweet summer child, is not a printer, it is a FAX MACHINE. The bane of every office worker's existence in the 90s.
The creator of Office Space also was one of the creators of Beavis and Butthead.
Mike Judge is awesome! 😂🤣😂🤣
This hilariously makes sense to me.
@@michaelriddick7116 facts
@@michaelriddick7116 there's an old clip of Mike Judge explaining where the character Boomhauer came from. Hilarious
I can't WAIT for the new Beavis and Butthead movie to come out!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta. That song will always take me back to August 2008. I traveled from Philly to Washington state to see Dave Matthews at The Gorge over Labor Day Weekend. We camped out at the venue, and Saturday morning, somebody in an RV woke us all up with that song.
I was in that cubicle, saving the world from apocalyptic collapse due to six-character dates.
As a reward, I'm now able to listen to Filmmaker at a reasonable volume between 9 and 11.
Prob my most rewatched movie of all time. Never gets old.
The scene with the printer is like a gangland hit. Honestly, it's one of the funniest things I have ever seen in a film!
Never clicked so fast. Timeless classic. Been repeating this movie since i watched it years and years ago.
This is a generational film. This sums up not just the situation of a big chunk of Gen-X, but our perception of it, and reaction to it. Loads of existential dread. Really, the thing we're best at is embracing the horror. Basically everything portrayed in this film about working in an office, is the reason I no longer work in offices. Lumberg is about 80% of the bosses I ever had. Many of them Boomers. Just walking, talking, self-absorbed, engines of misery for those around them. It's amazing how someone can be ambitious, and yet utterly empty inside.
That's why he is played as an 80s yuppie type
This movie never fails to make me laugh, no matter how many times I see it. There are so few movies that lives up to that criteria I can count them on one hand. I still quote this movie on the regular 20+ years later. Nuff said.
There is a group of movies from 1999 that are basically about the same theme: the nightmare of the american dream, and the search for meaning beyond it. Those movies are Office space, Fight club, The Matrix, American Beauty.
Facial expressions is everything in this movie! That's what makes me laugh the most lol! Also this movie was filmed in Dallas and Austin! I'm from the Dallas/Ft Worth area and I worked with dudes who acted like Lawrence! Mike Judge did perfect casting with him!😄
One of my favorite childhood movies my parents showed me, that i never fully understood until i got my first job. Classic. Thanks for the reaction and congrats again on the silver play button man.
I watched this movie during the two weeks after I gave my notice from my first corporate job back in 2001. It captured almost perfectly where I was in that moment.
What happens in this movie isn't just locked into an office setting. I'm a aircraft mechanic and there's always a Lumberg there but instead of a cup of coffee has a clip board and a huge beer gut.
I worked at a place like this for 13 years.... I had the dream where I can hear the phone ringing and I would woke up trying to pick it up. I use to try to finish up my work as fast just avoid talking on the phone.. They busted me one day and wrote me up for finishing up 8 hours early on a 12 hour shift. The only thing I missed from that job is the shifts... I once had a shift were I worked two 15 hour days and one 10 hour day. I had 3 days on, 4 straight days off. I was burnt out by the last day, but the 4 days off in a row was a mini vacation every week. 16 days off a month. They ended up taking that shift away... The TPS report joke has come up in Star Wars The Mandalorian and in NCIS. The actor that played Lumbergh in office space is now the team leader in NCIS. He brought it up in an episode about having to fill them out.
Not a period piece this still goes on all over the world that’s what makes this movie timeless
This is a great double feature with Clerks
My friend and I watched this movie on our school chromebooks through a pirate website in Biology class. It was a great experienced.
The vibe of this movie was right on target. I worked in Big Pharma near the end of this time period (pharma tends to be conservative, so it was early 00s, not 90s). It was really like this. Upper management would tell department managers that they would need to cut their headcount by 3 or 5 people, just for the bottom line, and the managers would have to pick people to let go, even if everyone was literally doing a great job. Then they'd just push the extra work on the remaining staff. Then we'd have a company "town hall" meeting where they would tell us it was for the "good of the company" and everyone needed to "pull together." When the job market shifted, and millennials started to jump jobs, management acted "shocked" at the lack of loyalty of their employees, whom they had been treating like dirt.
That sucks!
I had such a weird teenage crush on David Herman back in the 90s. He was one of the original cast of MadTV and always played such a bonkers characters.
It's a Texas filmmaker, it was filmed in Texas, and the rap is from Texas. Love this movie.
The abyss was a fantastic shot movie. A lot of underwater scenes right when ROV was becoming a thing. Great movie too.
16:40 - Dude, did you just say "bro my god"? I'ma steal that one. Move over "OMG" it's now BMG hahahaha
James, I think you should wear 37 pieces of flair for this video!
LOL!! This is one of my all-time favorite comedies! I'm glad I could watch it again and laugh with you! :)
Never clicked so fast. All time favorite movie quote it all the time!
movie is filmed all over austin tx which made it that much better when i found out
This is probably my favorite comedy of all time. It is at once very much of its time (turn of the millennium with the Y2K stuff), but at the same time a lot of the details and themes still apply today. Certainly a lot of the humor around office culture still applies. I saw this movie when it came out and I was in college. It only got better as I later got jobs and worked in cubicles regularly,
Office Space was based on a series of cartoon shorts on Mtv mostly based around the Milton character and bill the manager. Idk if you mentioned this but Peter Ron Livingston is in Band of Brothers as well.
The restaurant manager was played by Mike Judge, the creator of the movie, beavis and butthead and king of the hill.
The printer scene is effing epic 😂
I used to work at a refurbishing company and part of my job was I got to smash printers, I'm telling you the satisfaction of demolishing electronics is satisfying as hell!
I don’t work in an office job but I do work in retail and I think it also relates a lot. Especially cause I get asked to work over and working on my day offs
