Office Space is practically a documentary it's so relatable. I'm so glad they were able to keep in the printer scene and the gangsta rap, it just fits perfectly.

Office Space became the framework for my career (life). I immediately stopped taking work seriously and immediately started getting promoted.

I've always said this is one of the most perfectly cast movies. Literally everyone, including bit parts and extras are spot on.

Another little known fact: they wanted Milton’s stapler to be red,only swingline didn’t produce a red stapler so the prop department painted a black stapler red. Then when the movie became so wildly popular demand was so high that they started making red stapler’s.

My speech teacher from NEO in Miami Oklahoma was the secretary who walked away and let Milton into Lumbergs office! I still have the tiny red swingline stapler she gave me 20 years ago ❤❤❤

Can I say, Paul Willson, a Bob, is a great overlooked actor. Like a 50yr career and nobody mentions him

Bless you for covering one of my favorites! Ages ago I worked for a subsidiary of Tyco International when this movie came out. The list of comparisons to the movie is endless, but my best personal experience was getting a free townhouse for 7 months. True story....I was put there during a trainee/temporary phase while the company decided where to put me. Tycoon laid off everyone that knew I was there, except for me and my boss....but they never looked to see if anyone was still living there. Monthd later, they negotiated their way out of the leases and sent in the movers to take out the rented furniture. Oops! Someone is living in this one! I got an angry call from a corporate lawyer at my desk.....wondering how in the hell I was living in one of the town houses. I explain the situation, who gave me the keys, etc. I was told I had one week to move out or I would owe them for the cost of the townhouse lease and the furniture. I went from a two bedroom townhouse with no bills to living on a co-workers couch 😂

Mike Judge is a comedic genius

Michael Bolton (singer) recreated a scene or two from Office Space playing Michael Bolton (character)-however he changed the lines to be flattering to the singer. "There wasn't anything wrong with my name until that extremely talented...". Scenes are on Funny or Die channel KZfaq. He's a good sport--especially after his appearance in the Lonely Island Short--also not to be missed for movie lovers.

Office Space, Fight Club, The Matrix...three 1999 movies about escaping the soul-crushing corporate cubicle culture

Ron Livingston was cast perfectly in this movie. He even took some of that Monday-itis energy to his role in Band of Brothers

I wear a tiny button on my work vest that depicts a red stapler & says "Flair". I get a chuckle on a rarer basis.

“Two chicks at the same time!”

In my top 5 greatest movies of all time!!! "PC Load Letter? What the f*ck does that mean??" 🤣

Great movie, great show! 👍🏻 "We hear that you've been missing work." "I wouldn't say that I've been missing it, Bob." Now please review "Idiocracy." LOL

This movie should be part of the onboarding process/ training for any office job. It is absolutely hiiiiiilarious.

Fun fact: Members of the U.S. military now use “pieces of flair” as a catch-all phrase to refer to the nametags, medals, ribbons & badges on uniforms.

“Why should I change my name? He’s the one that sucks.”

This film had some fun plot points. I particularly liked the main character being hypnotised to not give a F**k. The Bobs loved his honesty lols.

Another interesting point. Swingline never actually made a red stapler. But after the movie came out, they started selling red staplers, and even made an “Office Space” Special Edition stapler.

Can confirm... printers in the mid 90's were the bane of all existence.

Legendary movie. One of the best

This was the best documentary ever made!

When they beat the sh*t out of the printer that had to be one of the best parts of the movie!!! It's seriously had me laughing in tears!!!😂

"Hey, Minty. Whaaaat's happening? If you could come re-upload that Star Wars video on Saturday that would be greeeaaaaat."

A colleague and I went out and bought red Swingline staplers which we put in prominent positions on our desks. Just a little bit of a warning not to mess with us, cuz we'll burn the place down. Most people never got the joke, but the expression of delight on the faces of those that understood why there was a shiny red Swingline stapler on my desk were priceless.

Office Space had so many quotable lines. The printer scene and the birthday cake scenes were my favorite.

Asking Michael Bolton to sign an Office Space DVD is a gag in itself 😂

Mike Judge is an absolute legend in my book for creating two of my favorite shows: Beavis and Butthead & King of the Hill.🎂

The road used in the opening scene is the exact road I am about to take to work right this minute. I also had a friend that lived in Peter and Lawrence's apartment complex. This movie is legendary.

"Damn, it's good to be a subscriber"

One of the funniest bits to me was when Peter told Michael that he was getting fired, and Michael Said "I actually told those fudge packers I liked Michael Bolton's music." And Peter say, "Aw, now that just isn't right" as if that was really the worst thing about it. I actually saw a video here on YT where the singer Michael Bolton actually reenacted scenes from the movie playing the Michael Bolton character making cracks against him. I am not a fan of Michael Bolton's music, but the fact that he did that, to me anyway, shows he's a good sport. Besides, he's not the only singer to be made made in to a running joke in a comedy. In the movie, License to Drive, Frank Sinatra was butt of many jokes.

We watched this a LOT once it finally came out on DVD. Oddly enough, it became our (then) 8-year-old son's favorite movie. I have no idea why he related to a movie about being stuck in a dead-end job, but he was a unique child. He would watch it over and over. We had to cut him off when he got into trouble for swearing at school, but were very happy to let him have it back once he had proved that he could control what he said in public. And in front of his grandparents. That has proved to be a VERY valuable lesson.

I still use the term "assclown" to this day. Apparently the term was suggested by David Hermans wife at the time. I am eternally grateful. It's just such a beautiful insult.

The best part of this channel is the fact you yourself do the commentary, NOT some stupid computer voice! Thanks for the great commentary and context! 🇨🇦

I used to hear different people I worked with, quote Office Space, but I hadn't seen it. Every time that I asked was it good, they would say no. But they'd often quote it some more with workers later. It normally got smiles and laughs. Many years later, when I'd hear it quoted, I'd ask if it was a good movie. Now they say yes, it's a classic. I finally saw it and now I know what they meant. It's not necessarily what you usually go to the movies for, but it hits a lot of the beats you see in common work life. It's classic.

Actually saw this opening day in the theater at a midnight showing. Such a classic movie.

I was pumped to see this in the theater when it was released just based on Mike Judge. I swear, in the US, it only showed for maybe 2 weeks, so I missed it. The first time it was available on PPV, I recorded it and shared it with all of my friends.

"It's not that i.m lazy it's that I just don't care.'

I started wearing flair at my current job. Nothing too big, just a pin on my tie. I think because of me some of my coworkers began wearing pins on their ties, too. 😅

I worked for an IT company called Inacom when Office Space came out. Admittedly, I didn't hate my job but the similarities were uncanny. The name of the company, of course. We had a supervisor named John Wood who would walk around, making everyone feel uncomfortable and always had coffee with him and would set it down before going off on some story nobody wanted to hear. We had a guy named Horst that kind of reminded us of Milton. We lost about about 15 people to a competing company so when the stories of Office Space motivating many people to leave the jobs they were unhappy with, that was definitely the icing on the cake. Absolutely LOVE Office Space!

I started my career in IT in 1995, and my first job was in a building layout so much like the one in the movie. I went to this movie in the theaters and even took my teenage brother to see it, and we both loved it so much (he went into IT as well). And for a movie made in 1999, it still holds up very well today, though it helps that several on the cast became pretty well known since then.

This and Falling Down are the two best documentary movies ever

One of my favorites is a lil Mike Judge movie called Idiocracy.

Yeah, I live in south Texas a d it is hot as hell down here in the summer (which unofficially starts in May and ends maybe in October).

Watched this with my dad one time who worked in middle management at AT&T and he said that is so accurate and really cracked up at the “consultants” (the Bobs ha ha ha)

Saw it in theaters and loved every second of it. I worked temp and IT jobs in Silicon Valley from 1994-2008, so much of this movie hits home right down to the TPS reports.

Office Space is my #1 fav movie. I even have a Initech coffee mug!

One of my all-time favorites!

I watched Office Space and immediately become a huge fan. I can't imagine a world without this movie. In my opinion all of the actors were perfectly cast. Every single one of them! Mike Judge is a creative genius and the world is a better place with him in it! Glad to see that the real Michael Bolton took it all in as just some good humor at his expense. I loaned the first copy of the movie that I bought to a family member and never saw it again. So I bought a second one and a friend borrowed it and I never saw it again either. I am currently on my third purchase of this movie which I watch when I need a pick me up. Thanks Mike Judge!!

That fax machine scene cracks me every time. Reminds me of a Goodfellas scene in a comedy. Classic!

What I like about both Office Space and King of the Hill is that the humor is more subtle rather than just being all out raunchy and being reliant on sex jokes or gross out/bathroom humor like most 90's comedies. I heard the character, Lawrence who was Peter's neighbor in the movie was inspired by a friend Mike Judge had back in Texas, who was a part time mechanic who made more money than Mike did at Silicon valley.

Office Space is like a documentary and Idiocracy is becoming a reality.

I still remember watching Office Space in the theatre and thought it was absolutely hilarious and I still do and it’s one of my favourite movies and I dressed up as Milton for a friends Halloween party one year!

I worked in the movie theaters when this came out & still have the standee/ wall hanger of the guy covered in Post-It-Notes in my basement! It's such a great movie that comes up in conversation from time to time!

Mike Judge is a low key genius and someone that would be great to have beer with.

I think Minty is spying on me. I just rewatched Office Space randomly on cable yesterday and then Minty releases a “10 Things…” video the next day… (cue Spooky Music) 😂😂😂😂

It still feels good to be a gansta

Do a “10 things” video on Liquid TV please.

One of the greatest movies ever made

Not that it matters, but as a point of clarification, the opening traffic scene is filmed in Dallas - specifically, the stretch of 635 between 75 and 35, a route I used to begrudgingly drive daily back in the day.

Surprised you didn't mention the sculpture outside the front door of the building. It's subtle, because the camera never dwells on it, but it's literally a square peg being driving into a round hole.

Yup, gotta dig out my copy and watch this one tonight!🍻

This is a perfect movie. It is funny and unique with a relatively unknown cast. Plus, it encapsulates a moment and place in time that resonated with office workers around the world. The movie still resonates. Office Space remains one of my all time favorite films

I remember watching the Office Space/ Milton shorts on MTV's Liquid Television. I miss that show

I recently learned that the printer they used was real and that "PC: Load Letter" is a actual message it displays. It means: Paper Change, Load Letter Size.

Every time I watch NCIS now I want him to say "Hey everyone what's happening? We got a dead body." Lol

Mike Judge is a national treasure :D

Other youtubers: "Comment, like, and subscribe!" Minty: *shows David Herman* "Damon Herman"

I remember seeing Office Space at an advanced screening in Dallas about a week before it was released. The packed house loved it The opening scene in traffic is so true. When it was released on video everyone started talking about it.

I think that's why I love silicon valley so much. It felt kind of like an extension of the office.

You're so right. The entire point is that office environments like that drain the life out of people.

I watched Office Space originally due to nothing else being on Tv. Best accidental watch ever. One of my all time favs now. 😂

The whole story of the Red stapler is a cool story in itself. The fact that Swingline didn't make a red version, but after the movie it became their biggest selling stapler of all time.

This was the first movie I went to without my folks. I'll never forget the whole audience losing it when the printer scene appeared.

I worked in Silicon Valley for 20 years. I have worked at inefficient companies like Initech. Nike being most like Initech (I had 3 bosses). Also, my day was usually done by 11AM and I would just online shop or space out. I bought my Compaq laptop in 1999 with a DVD player just so I could watch Office Space while I flew to Washington D.C.

The printer scene is the most cathartic movie experience I've ever had in my life.

What a way to start my Friday! Thanks Minty.

This movie is such a classic.

Office Space is probably the most relatable movie I've ever seen.

I like the poster and I think the guy covered in post-it notes is supposed to be Milton.

Ron Livingston’s “meh” presence perfectly embodied the mindset of the average office worker.

The Michael Bolton thing reminds me of how Beavis and Butthead basically killed Winger by having Stuart wear a Winger shirt.

Gary Cole is a criminally underrated actor. He's played roles that are all over the place in terms of the character types and he does them all so well that when you see him in other movie you don't even recognize that he's the guy you saw in that other movie.

best movie of all time for me

Office Space hit close to home. I was new into the "office" world at the time and it hit so many things about working for corporate just right. Funnily, or unfunnily, enough it's still so similar in corporate life. The advent of "open workspaces" arguably made it worse as now you really are cattle without even a little private space. This movie is a classic.

I literally watched this a couple of days ago. Hvnt watched it in so long. You forget how funny and true it is.

Just a tip...try spacing your marquee words out by leading in with some spaces to center them. Then you can use three pages?

Minty we need to talk about your TPS reports. Didn't you get the memo?

I've never laughed harder in a movie theater than I did with this movie. Specifically, the part where they take the fax machine to the empty field and beat the hell out of it.

Naw...Naw Man; I Believe You'd Get Your @$$ Kicked for something like that

I was working at an engineering manager mainly on the Austin-Bergstrom Airport and we had a lot of empty offices because a group of the engineers had just finished a contract. In walks Mike Judge and about 6 other people and asked if we had any extra offices with computers, phones and fax machines. We did and they filmed the movie in a building behind us and the front of building and the fire was right outside my window. The bar was in the Omni Hotel across the parking lot where I had frequented a few times after work. Even had a couple of lunch dates with a cute blonde that picked out the various places for filming outside the office interior. And wow I loved the movie. It really fit Austin at the time too because of the growing tech industry and the new class of nerds that were migrating to Austin.

Stephen Root is one of the great American character actors. THERE IS NONE BETTER although there are other greats. Office Space had a great cast but Root was genius.

No joke the destruction of the copy machine inspired 2 of my friends to start destroying old electronics and tvs and stuff with baseball bats. They made videos of it. Also we live in Texas. Love the movie coupled with Fight Club and the Matrix it really inspires a certain way of life.

Funny, as you were describing the weather when they were filming in austin.....here in central texas...its currently hazy, humid and hot as in the movie lol

Also, as I was going to business school when that movie came out EVERY business professor LOVED this movie...some with extreme passion at how accurate it was.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah did you get that memo"

Minty!!! Thank you for all of the hard work making these videos and giving me something to be excited about when I wake up. It’s been hard lately and any distraction is welcomed.

I feel like office space and idiocracy weren’t great in the theaters but became classics.

Minty, you have never made a video that wasn't extremely entertaining. Thank you sir. And of course you did a great job with Office Space too.
