This movie became so much more relatable when I rewatched it as an adult. The commute, the irritating co-workers, the mandatory workplace "fun", the fucking printer, the fucking electric shock off the door handle! And of course the crushing existential despair of contemplating several more decades of it all.
Office Space was a film I saw when I was like 11-12 and it literally made me not even consider an office job for over a decade because of how it was portrayed lmao. Great reaction!
I was about 44 and had 4 kids and had worked in IT for 7 years when my oldest daughter introduced me to this movie. It hit a home run on every single plot point, character and motif. Everything was spot-on. Fucking hilarious. It also got me to pay attention to Beavis and Butt-Head, which I previously derided because it "wasn't good for my kids".
Fun Fact: The end of the scene just after Peter says "yeah; f***in' A!" shows a wide crane shot of Peter and Lawrence standing there , with some brown-shirted hardhat walking up to them with a cup of coffee in his hand and saying something to them, though the music is all your hear before the dissolve to the island. In one possible cut, the music was not started yet, and as the guy goes up to Peter/Lawrence and starts to talk to them, you were supposed to hear that passive-aggressive Lumbergh voice say "yeah....I'm gonna need you two to...pick up the pace a bit, ok? Thanks."
19:57 He put the money in a cashiers check ans slid it under the door with his confession. And yes the door to Lumburg's office was unlocked the whole time, he just assumed it would be locked.
I'm pretty sure is was a stack of travelers checks. A cashiers check would need to be payable to a specific person or entity, travelers checks are good for a fixed amount of money and can be filled out by any bearer.
There's a Seinfeld formula at work here: Peter is the vanilla character reacting to everyone around him, with many almost caricatures of personality types. Peter's directly honest, refreshing viewpoints provide all the plot fodder. This fed-up cubicle gang no longer accepts the status quo. Compare their "rounding error" scheming at Peter's place to Seinfeld's "bottle recycling" debacle. Add in a wildly improbable fire (crazy circumstance) at Peter's workplace and the Seinfeld elements begin to show. Director/Writer Mike Judge's cameo as Jennifer Aniston's floor manager is underrated. Pizza shooters ftw!
This film is brilliant. One of my favorite comedies, because I LIVED THAT LIFE! Jennifer Aniston is indeed ... a very beautiful woman. Note, Stephen Root (Milton) is a chameleon. Example, he played the office crime boss in No Country For Old Men. He's in a lot of films.
I hated this movie the first time I tried to watch it. Then I watched it again after I started my first office job and I was like, “Okay, I get it now.” I’m with your friend. I was asking myself, “Who puts the word ‘virus’ in their virus file name?” Can you imagine the direction going on during the birthday party scene? Take 1: “Sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Mr. Lumbergh.” Take 2: “Let’s do this again, but not so spirited.” Take 3: “Again. More funeral dirge, less celebration.” Take 4: “We’re gonna do this again. This time, treat it like all of the happiness and soul has been sucked out of the room.”
Mike Judge was a programmer. That's why this movie and Silicon Valley ring so true. I'm a programmer, and I can't tell you how much I relate. I think they're brilliant. I also relate to King of the Hill so much because I'm a fourth generation Texan living in Austin. I'm afraid there's A little Peggy in me and my mom. Mike Judge lived and worked in Austin, and one of the minor characters in Arlen, Ray Hennig, was a real person. My husband and I used to have our guitars and amps repaired in his shop. Yeah, this is where "show me your Oh face" came from.
There's actually a pretty good deepfake/remix of Matrix & Office Space for the cubicle scene called "Neo Takes The Blue Pill [DeepFake]" by Ctrl Shift Face. Great showcase of the tech, and a funny take on the scene.
Another movie that was filmed in and around Austin, so is very familiar. And I did work in a state office with cubicles, as an attorney, after having my own office in previous jobs, including one downtown with a view of the lake, and my own secretary. This felt very real. So ridiculously bureaucratized and demoralizing. I didn't last long there. They had an 80% turnover rate. lol
Perfect movie, so many perfect details, right down to them climbing down and back up that grass culvert between parking lots on their way back from Chotchkies.
Watch "Idiocracy", another Mike Judge film, though the only cut available was butchered to high heaven and who knows what Judge wanted the movie to look like before FOX cut it up.
There were re-shoots on Idiocracy after an initial bad test screening, but the studio let Judge do his thing. Unfortunately the studio wouldn't put money into promoting the movie and was also only shown in 130 theaters (pulling in about 500,000). It became an instant classic when it was released on video.
Diedrich Bader(the next door neighbor) played Jethro in the Beverly Hillbillies movie. Stephen Root(Milton the mutterer) played the billionaire owner in News Radio(TV show) and a judge in Justified(TV).
9:23 - Something I didn't notice for years. If you look at his parking space placard at the beginning of the movie and then look at it after this scene, you'll see that Lumbergh got demoted.
Ironic these dudes act racist toward 90’s rap culture we all knew and loved that lead toward 2000’s culture while jizzing to 90’s sitcom star Jennifer Aniston. Like what?
After Peter slipped the checks under the door, then immediately tried to get them back, the reason he didn't try to just OPEN the door is because that fucking place had instilled a terror of doorknobs in him.
Bro, the best thing about your Martin shirt is that you look kinda like every male characters from that show smashed into one. (I'm not talking shit; it's just a funny observation.)
I have a list of my Top 50 best lines in cinema history. This movie has three...Best. and a shitload of second place. Here's #1 "I CELEBRATE THE MAN'S ENTIRE CATALOG!" Fucking McGinley ❤️🔥
"All nineties rap sounds preposterous." Really? It was a hell of a lot better than today's shitty hip hop and rap and all the predictable top 40 pop music. It's all the same old talentless and substance-lacking crap as the previous year. Today's popular music is pure trash.
You skip the best parts. We aren't going to Patreon you for not convincing us on your content. Edit: And I REALLY like your reaction, but you are cutting out the scenes that we all give af about.

Tom's line "Good things can happen in this world. I mean, look at me!" is such a brilliantly dark joke
Jennifer Anniston’s boss was played by Mike Judge, the creator of this movie as well as King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead, and Silicon Valley
Don't forget Idiocracy
"I have people skills!"
He was a product manager. I had the same job for many years. This film really nailed the tech company vibe.
Yes, "O face" came from here.
As a programmer that dudes job isn’t worthless you don’t want engineers dealing with customers.
Fact
Ummmm yeahhhhh the "O-face" joke in the movie is what popularized the term. Baaaaasically originated it.
Office Space was a film I saw when I was like 11-12 and it literally made me not even consider an office job for over a decade because of how it was portrayed lmao. Great reaction!

5:04 - Marcus - "I think Milton is my least favorite character so far."
Wait, what?!
I recently left an IT career and now work in construction and it’s everything Peter said it was.
Most of the songs used in this movie are from a Rap group known as The Geto Boys.
And I think that the track that Cash thought was slow was Down for Whatever by Ice Cube.
@@AT-rr2xw It is.
When they were doing lay offs at my last job, my motto was, "They can't hand you a pink slip if they can't catch you or they can't find you."

This is in fact the origin of the “O” face lol. Came from this movie.
this film is like wish fulfillment, everything in life u wanted to say or do, but were not able to lmao

Dude ... Don't tell people you watch Entourage. This is the Internet. A statement like that lasts forever.
Entourage (the show and NOT the movie) is FANTASTIC!
Gary Cole is what made this movie great! No one else could have played Lumbergh like him.🙂
Yo so true. I didnt even realize he was ricky bobbys dad also until i saw it for like the 10th time. Such a great actor
23 years later, I think I internalized this movie a little too much
I can’t believe you’ve never seen this! It’s a cult classic! So many classic lines..

Saw this one in theatres and still love it. So many unique characters in it who were played perfectly. Lumbergh was one of them.
This movie was before "Band of Brothers" and it made Ron Livingston a star like actor and I think got him the gig as Lewis Nixon in Band of Brothers.
Before this movie, Swingline staplers did not come in red.
LOL that super loud 'CLICK' when they turn the light off on Milton.
I hated this movie the first time I tried to watch it. Then I watched it again after I started my first office job and I was like, “Okay, I get it now.”

Kung Fu was a kickass tv show in the 70's

omg lmao
Thanks for introducing me to that. it's so good
I just watched it. Very amusing
11:35 how dare you call ice cube's lethal injection album preposterous!?! classic record!! =)
Diedrich Bader was Lawrence. A totally underrated comedic actor.
11:34 "All 90s rap sounds preposterous..."🤣THAT WAS AWESOME. And while probably true...
Another movie that was filmed in and around Austin, so is very familiar. And I did work in a state office with cubicles, as an attorney, after having my own office in previous jobs, including one downtown with a view of the lake, and my own secretary. This felt very real. So ridiculously bureaucratized and demoralizing. I didn't last long there. They had an 80% turnover rate. lol
The turnover rate at my old state job was over 100% the last I heard. And it was blue-collar work...!
Perfect movie, so many perfect details, right down to them climbing down and back up that grass culvert between parking lots on their way back from Chotchkies.

The therapist was actually on Seinfeld as Kramer's friend, FDR, Franklin Delano Romanowski. " I wished for you to drop dead!"
"You seen Barry?" "Barry from where?" lmao
You had me at "don't fuck up my couch please :D
Yeah this is where the "Oh face" came from.
Mike judge is also plays Jennifer’s boss at the restaurant in this movie,,,,, two chicks at the same time
Oh my, someone knows their splatter zone. =)
13:21 Jimmy Macram, you know you would tell 90's Jennifer Anniston anything she wanted to know.
One of my all-time favorites!!
Diedrich Bader(the next door neighbor) played Jethro in the Beverly Hillbillies movie. Stephen Root(Milton the mutterer) played the billionaire owner in News Radio(TV show) and a judge in Justified(TV).
When they beat the printer.. This is me and my phone every time i get mad!
Also, EXTRACT is. Judge film that is basically a 90 minute set up for a Ben Affleck Punchline.
Yeah... Affleck gets a punchline
9:23 - Something I didn't notice for years. If you look at his parking space placard at the beginning of the movie and then look at it after this scene, you'll see that Lumbergh got demoted.
The therapist (Mike McShane) was also a _Whose Line…_ regular back in the day.
Sooo, how’sss it goinnn’?
There’s a great edit of that Matrix office scene with this one. Worth watching
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster.
If you like Diedrich Bader, check out the Beverly Hillbillies movie 🤣🤣 he's Jethro
Stephen Root got his stapler irl
12:24 this is the place.
If you're a fan of Mike Judge I recommend his show "Silicon Valley." It's a funnier nerd show than "Big Bang Theory"
90s rap smokes all the bullshit mumble rappers of today
Scarface and the Ghetto Boys for the win!
He called 90's rap "preposterous" lol clearly out of his depth
Ironic these dudes act racist toward 90’s rap culture we all knew and loved that lead toward 2000’s culture while jizzing to 90’s sitcom star Jennifer Aniston. Like what?

The fact that you all think 90s hip hop was "preposterous" is preposterous
Every song on this soundtrack is real.
more Newman than George..with his short little arms..
This the first reaction video in which I have not seen the feature to which it is reacting to. I know of it; I have not seen it. Class of '77 here.
Mike Judge soundtracks are always dope.
For the record, every rap track on the soundtrack are "real" songs, lol. Geto Boys, Ice Cube, etc.
who brings a group of friends over to someones hypnotist.
Matrix and Office Space came out the same year. 1999.
Bro, the best thing about your Martin shirt is that you look kinda like every male characters from that show smashed into one. (I'm not talking shit; it's just a funny observation.)
Best film. . . . .ever made
You were thinking of Gary Cole not John C McGinly
He said look I'm really going to need you to not commit crime and moco or unless you will be decided for the rest of your life.
I guess Marcus isn't a fan of working construction...
Not a fan of hard labor of any sort. Even stock work in retail blew!
Gary Cole plays Lumbergh.
I have a list of my Top 50 best lines in cinema history. This movie has three...Best. and a shitload of second place. Here's #1
"I CELEBRATE THE MAN'S ENTIRE CATALOG!"
Fucking McGinley ❤️🔥
Olando Jones is Steve.
for your next Mike Judge movie try extract. it's got Jason Bateman Kristen Wiig Mila Kunis and Ben Affleck in it and it's hilarious!
This man said all 90's rap sounds preposterous..wow.
There is no such thing as a bad Mike Judge movie, or one that made any money. 😂😂🤣🤣
Before there was King of the Hill there was Beavis and Butthead.
Classic
Ummmm, yeah...
Lawrence you wanna come over?
No thanks man don’t want you fuckin up my life too.
I feel bad yall never heard of texas rap and screwed and chopped rap
Jennifer Aniston is 🤤🤤🤤
Oh hell no! RUclips isn't your income everyone can see.
Two chicks at the same time...
Please tell me you guys not mumble rap fans😁
I’m not. Cash…. Kinda sorta.
21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21! … which Jimmy also enjoys…
''All 90s music sounds preposterous'' lol Compared to which era? This trash ass mumble era?
In and of itself.
"All nineties rap sounds preposterous." Really? It was a hell of a lot better than today's shitty hip hop and rap and all the predictable top 40 pop music. It's all the same old talentless and substance-lacking crap as the previous year. Today's popular music is pure trash.
Rap has been trash since the 90s ended.
