Gary Cole is a terrific actor he never had a "normal job" in real life. he bounced from job to job so when he read the script for Office Space he figured that this Lumberg was only running on "one channel" just souless human empathy emotion all drained out and he NAILED IT.
A great capture of how some managers around the world use filler words to sound nice and polite on the surface, but anything but nice to interact with!

The best scene is at 0.48. He cracks his back like he just got off a long draining day at the office, while all he really does is walk around, drink coffee and give orders.😅
What makes it even funnier is I actually know a guy who looks and sounds like Bill Lumberg and he actually says the words “Yeah” and “Great” just like him too 😂😂
If Lumberg was an officer in wartime, his passive-aggressiveness would get him fragged. "Yeah, you need to carry out that frontal assault in the teeth of machine-gun fire..."
".....hey, what's happening.......yeah.........if you could just..........go ahead and send in that air support.............that would be great. Mmmkay?" he'd get everyone killed lol
It must be terrible at be at a workplace like that. They definitely exist. I personally have been fortunate enough to have managers that do care and would go out of their way to help you and even celebrate your bday in any way they could. I did notice that it's mostly on larger accounts it can get like this. If you have a smaller team and you get along, you can even end up being friends with some colleagues and even some of your bosses (all depends of course). I work for a global real estate service and consulting firm with over 100,000 employees. I will say it was on smaller accounts I enjoyed it more but on larger accounts it can get very political and have more managers than they need. Even if the account is a major financial firm you're servicing, if your team is let's say is 12-15 people versus an account with 300 - 1000 people. You may like the "smaller" account better. Which explains why some choose to go to a smaller shop overall after they have worked at a big firm for years.
Once upon a time I worked for an English Sentence correction School in Tokyo, I made 1 mistake 1 time and I got 5 emails and three phone call saying how I need to be a little more cautious next time. I quit the next day
2 месяца назад+1
Yeah... Thankfully you went ahead and quit! That was great! 😆
I haven't seen the movie but I've seen a lot of clips, especially of the two Bobs. Reminds me of a company I worked for, back in the early 2000's. They wanted to downsize and brought in a team to decide who should go and what positions were not needed. My boss, a totally useless woman, who knew less about what the company did than I know about the workings of a space telescope, made out a list of who she thought should go, based on those who sucked up to her and those who didn't. At the end of the process, most of the people on her list kept their jobs, it appears to have been seen as a recommendation, while she lost her job. Her position was deemed unnecessary and they said that she wasn't competent enough to transfer to another function. At the start of the process, she had boasted how it had been her idea. Karma.
1:17 poor milton. just wanted proper tools and materials to do his job sufficiently and lumbergh just came by with his corporate greed and said "here, let me just make your job harder for you"
The careless monotone Birthday singing for Lumbergh is nothing more than obligatory. It's obvious the people that work under him don't even care about him other than to be participants in an obvious patronization of their boss to ensure that they keep their jobs. Totally hilarious.
I lived a moment that was pretty much just like that.. we were applauding our shitty boss on his last day for a "job well done" and it was so obligatory and careless it was golden LOL
I love that he throws the paper plate from the cake into Milton's trash can while complaining about the cockroach problem, that is such a great little detail
Seriously, I think there is only one thing in the world that can turn a guy into Lumbergh. NONSTOP rejection for decades from women. Even gold-diggers wouldn't want to date an ugly freak like him. Not worth the money. Lumbergh needed to go to Vegas or Atlantic City and get laid once in a while, maybe then he wouldn't be such a rotten POS.......or maybe he still would, I dunno.
Uhmm, yeeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to go ahead and umm..not do that, and to just talk in the way you normally talk, mmkay? So if you could just go ahead and continue to talk like you've usually been talking, and to do that from now on, that would be greaat
Yeah....... We have sort of a problem here. Some of you apparently haven't liked this comment. So if you all can go ahead and do that, that would be great.......
Lumbergh....the HR nightmare boss! They stopped paying Milton, which is fine, but Lumbergh went down to the basement to give him new duties while knowing he wasn't an active employee anymore....yeah, I'm gonna need you to write a very large check for being a baaaaaad boss. LOL Funny!!
Why i quit my job at JP Morgan Chase one day when I just said fuck it, took off my headset & left without logging out my pc w/ a customer that I wasnt aware still talking about the same problem with posting thier partial home payments how they feel it appropriate 37 minutes straight after I told them all mortgages put money towards interest first, principle second, that way the ones who invested lending your money get paid thier comeuppance first as do all mortgage servicing agreements like the current 30 yr mortgage your signature is listed on file as agreed to all terms. I just couldn't take it anymore and split. I never called in. Nothing. Just went AWOL
As a recently retired Gen Xer, Lumbergh reminds me of so many past Boomer bosses and managers I had. That manner of speaking made me sick and made me want to scream at them “spit it out MFr”. They must have learned that in some stupid management training in the 70s or 80s….
One of my favorite scenes is where right after Lumberg says ‘yeah I’m gonna have to sort of disagree with you there’, Bob Slidell is ready to reach across the table and strangle Lumberg but Bob Porter is able to restrain him and begins to explain to Lumberg that he hasn’t challenged Peter enough while Slidell has the expression “I will rip off your head and piss down your throat” on his faxe.
Lumberg was one of the best characters of all time. Once you saw him a few times, you knew 100% what he was about and he never disappointed. One of the best movies ever. The bobs....comedy gold.
You know, I just realized there's sort of a parallel with The Matrix. Neo was just some office guy and "woke up" one day. Pretty much the same thing here on a less grandiose scale.
Psychopathic idiots always try to bully someone...anyone...or as many as possible. It's a sick power play by incompetents. Anything to keep the worker "under control" so that the worker can never be happy or even satisfied. "So let's take away that stapler...... because it makes him happy.....and we can't have that" It's absolutely no wonder workers "go postal" occasionally.....
This dude did such a good job playing this character! The useless boss who struts around lackadaisically, pretending to know something about the company and it's operations. Coming around just to order people around. We've all had bosses we hated!
Senator Hawley sounding like the Bobs in "Office Space" asking Lumbergh what it is exactly that Lumbergh does at/for Initech. And the Boeing CEO giving bullshit TPS Report Covers level responses.
We have two such consultants in our company right now ... in order to "work more efficiently". Well, everybody knows what that means :-( However, this movie is terrific!
Lumberg is suppose to be 40/41. That means he is a product of the 80s business era. He is essentially a wannabe Gorden Geko. Passes off his responsibility of work so he can just rock up to the office in a suite and walk around looking important lol.
I once had a job where I was offered the role of regional manager, but had to turn it down because I found a better job somewhere else. To think what I ended up missing out on - wandering aimlessly around the office with a cup of coffee in my hand and no discernible work to do.

I worked in an environment sorta similar to this, but in the medical field and it was the most miserable place I have ever worked! It was when I did a transfer to another dept in Austin, and worked in a tiny room with five other frowning, miserable women doing data entry. You couldn't have your phone on your desk, and if you did anything other than data entry on the computer, the supervisor, who smacked her nicotine gum, would walk over to your cubicle and ask what you were typing! You also had to email her and two other dept supervisors, if you needed to leave your desk and go use the restroom. They also had one of their brown nosing employees spy on fellow employees in the parking garage and if you were seen parking in the patient parking garage, which was free and much closer, you would get called out. I was so depressed in that job and ended up resigning a few months later, even though it was a state job with benefits. It just wasn't worth it. I now work as a private personal assistant on a ranch and my only coworkers are two dogs. My boss travels constantly, so he is never around. When I think about those times back in 2007 at that other job, I cringe!

My boss just used the Lumbergh voice on us and I was the only one who caught on

You described the usps,trust me!
We've ALL worked for someone like Lumbergh at least once in our lives...
Gary Cole gives me PTSD as Lumbergh in this movie. He's so accurate it's traumatizing. Even the sexual nightmares.
Lol! 😂🤣
Yeaaaaaah.
….yeah, I’m just gonna go ahead and put you in doggystyle
☠️
His “yeaaa” be cracking me up
The best scene is at 0.48. He cracks his back like he just got off a long draining day at the office, while all he really does is walk around, drink coffee and give orders.😅
Uhhhh yeah. That would be what I do. I’m good at that. And get that cover page on those TPS reports. ASAP.
The thing to actually do would be to call his bluff and have him sign off on 16 hours of Overtime. You would get your weekend right back after that.
Lumberg is the funniest boss in a comedy movie. Michael Scott in a TV comedy. Absolute comedy gold
What makes it even funnier is I actually know a guy who looks and sounds like Bill Lumberg and he actually says the words “Yeah” and “Great” just like him too 😂😂
Uhh yeah. I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I personally like Colin Farrell from Horrible Bosses more though Lumberg is up there.
Gary Cole never actually worked in an office. Impressive that he nailed the character.
Yes your right Gary Cole worked odd jobs and also jobs like bartending house painting etc he zoned in on how a office sucks the soul out of a person.
Gary Cole is an underrated American treasure.
Midnight Caller was an underrated tv series he did.
He was good as Mike Brady.
Been a fan since this and Harvey Birdman
Also check out the tv series he was on called American Gothic.
@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 One of my all-time favorites.
Can't believe this movie is now 25 years old. What a classic. Love it. Lumbergh is probably my favorite.
If Lumberg was an officer in wartime, his passive-aggressiveness would get him fragged. "Yeah, you need to carry out that frontal assault in the teeth of machine-gun fire..."
".....hey, what's happening.......yeah.........if you could just..........go ahead and send in that air support.............that would be great. Mmmkay?" he'd get everyone killed lol
I went to birthdays at work where everyone sang Happy Birthday JUST LIKE IN THIS VIDEO. Like everyone had their soul removed... oh, the humanity!

"How much time do you spend each week with these TPS reports?" When Bob stares down Lumbergh 🤣
1:49 The look Bob Slidell gives Lumbergh, priceless. I wonder how long it took to get that just right. That's a talented actor.
It was a look of "You better come up with a good answer NOW!!"

Tell me about it.
That look at 00:18... He isn't listening to what Peter says at all.
Milton is the one Lumburg's been the worst to, he doesn't hear or care about anything that guy says. And that's aside from all the desk moving.
