OFFICE SPACE (1999) MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

“Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment.”

The destruction of the printer is the most cathartic scene in cinema history.

Ahh....the famous red stapler. FUN FACT: That company didn't even manufacture RED staplers. But they started producing them, because fans wanted them.

Mike Judge is such an underrated filmmaker. Office Space and Idiocracy are like two of the most relevant films today and were way ahead of their time when they were first released.

"Idiocracy" Is also a great Mike Judge comedy! Highly recommend, good writing, good worldbuilding and lots of meaning and messages. It predicted the present way to well...

Best line in the movie: "It's not just about me and my dream of doing nothing it's about all of us." LOL

TGI Friday's the restaurant chain, actually removed their once used staff mandated buttons due to this film. The mockery wasn't taken so well, and felt that it made their restaurant chain look bad, so they quietly removed that from the uniform.

"You don't need a million dollars to do nothing..." That line kills me.

You don’t need any more flair Brandon. You’re perfect the way you are.

Now you need to watch "Idiocracy", a cult classic by the same writer/director.

Mike Judge was the Director and Writer and also played Chotchkie's Manager not only that but he Created Beavis and Butthead, The Goode Family, and King of the Hill. The man is an absolute genius. Brilliant Film!

This movie is a must-see. It's actually fairly deep philosophically-speaking as well: the conflict between the necessity to create a happy, functional society and to be happy and functional while we do it.

God I adore Office Space. It's such a little gem.

Its so funny that Milton walked right in to the office that Peter slid the envelop under. After wanting to get the envelop back so bad from underneath the door, he never even tried just opening it. 😆

Heck yessss!! A hilarious movie. “I believe you have my stapler…”

Milton is hilarious! He just wants his stapler back and look what happened! Lol!!

Milton is Stephen Root. He's in a zillion films. A complete chameleon. Brilliant actor.

Gary Cole is just the ICONIC toxic manager

moved to Austin for my first office job a few years back and this movie really nailed the traffic and overall weirdness of corporate culture

Also fun fact: the guy who played Milton (Stephen Root) is the same guy from the elevator scene in Season 1, Episode 9 of Fargo.

To any hip hop heads out there, the song that plays during the printer stomping scene is 'Still' by Geto Boys off of their album The Resurrection. Really solid album, honestly worth a listen.

Swingline had to start selling red staplers after this movie. They didn't before, lol

Mike Judge did this. "Idiocracy" is definitely worth checking out too if you've never seen it. Of course, Judge is best known for making, "Beavis and Butthead."

Bill Lumbergh is one of the greatest characters of all time. I talk to my kids like him when I want them to do something they don't want to do.

Years ago I woke up super early to watch this before quitting a job, it was a very fun day.

One of those staple movies that you always have on your shelf, never mind re-watching, and withstands the test of time.

"He's a straight shooter, he's got upper management written all over him." I always lose my shit

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and need you to upload more great movie reactions. Okay, thanks Brandon.

Stephen Root is also the voice of Bill on King of the Hill

You gotta see "Idiocracy"

I never appreciated this film until I ended up working in an office for a few years 😂😩

Diedrich Bader is so damn funny in everything he's in hahaha

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

“No thanks man, I don’t want you fuckin up my life too.” This line always makes me poop my pants. I always forget about it and never expect it. Incredible line delivery.

I remember seeing this theatrically and there were only 2 other people in the audience and I was the only person laughing. I worked in a office at the time and I totally related with the main character.😂

Masterpiece

I used to have an O Face T-shirt, and wore it to school. I was like 12

The guy who plays Milton is an amazing character actor. He is great in everything I've seen him in since.

This is the first movie that I discovered Gary Cole. I now follow everything he does. He nails that character.

Should have said, "I'm gonna need you all to *go ahead* and leave a like...." and your officication would be complete. lol

Mike Judge was an engineer before he found success writing for tv and movies, which is why this movie is so accurate. He's said in interviews that pretty much every character in this movie was just a slightly exaggerated version of real people he has known. Even minor characters like Jennifer Anniston's boss, who incidentally he plays.

This movie completely permeated the culture at a startup I worked at in 1999. We moved into our offices for the first time, had a pizza and movie night our first week to hangout & get to know everyone, and watched Office Space together. We had the Office Space kits (red swingline staplers, cover sheets for TPS reports, mats where you could jump to conclusions…all of it. We used so many quotes from the movie too. I was promised a piece of cake. Ummmm…..did you get the memo… Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Muuuundays! All of them. We were acquired within 6 months. I was a paper millionaire for 7 gorgeous months but couldn’t sell any of my stock for a year and then the dot-com bubble burst. Good times. In hindsight, if I had fallen into $2-3M at 25 years old, would have been found dead of a heart attack snorting cocaine off of a stripper’s boobs in Las Vegas.

The “PC LOAD LETTER” joke is lost on current generations. There was a time when anyone who ever printed anything knew that error all too well. It was infuriating, so I burst out laughing when Bolton felt the same pain.

This is a man that knows what I like !!

Mike Bolton is played by Dave Herman. He is also a voice actor in MANY cartoons including Futurama

Lawrence is one of the best characters in any movie.

"Milton" was a Mike Judge cartoon. From Wiki: "'Milton' is a series of animated shorts created by Mike Judge in 1991. They aired on Saturday Night Live in the mid-1990s and, like Judge's other early shorts, appeared on MTV's Liquid Television in the early 1990s. In the cartoon shorts, all voices are provided by Judge. The 1999 film Office Space was based upon the cartoons, and featured actor Stephen Root in the role of Milton Waddams. Although Milton was the title character from the shorts, the role was a supporting character in the Office Space feature film, as was his boss, Bill Lumbergh (played by actor Gary Cole in Office Space). Milton traveled to different locations despite being consistently late for his taxis to take him there."

Brandon you should definitely react to “The Nice Guys”

Stephen Root is one of the greatest actors out there. Milton is Oscar worthy.

Thanks for the Journey again. I was in the military and after getting out, worked in an office. This movie is completely relatable to both.

3 seconds uploaded. Number 1 fan of the channel. Official.

I think to myself "What would you say... you do here?" about 50 times a day just watching people fail at the most basic tasks.

Stephen Root is legendary. I loved him back on NewsRadio as Jimmy James!

Mike Judge is brilliant. Between Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy, Extract, and Silicon Valley.. his track record is fantastic.

BTW the manager where Jennifer Aniston worked is Mike judge, the creator of Beavis and butthead.

My home office stapler has a place card for your name. Of course I wrote “Milton Waddums” on it!

This is a sequel to Band of Brothers about Nixons life after returning home.

I wish I had the confidence Peter had after the hypnosis! Money laundering aside, his life got a whole lot better!

This movie is still so funny after all these years. Most comedies don't make me laugh after watching them so many times but this movie has true staying power ;)

Probably my favorite but overlooked scene is when the Bob’s say Peter is upper management material and Bill disagrees, then Bob Slidel immediately goes to Bill’s file. I die laughing every time

I was the manager of an escalations team at a call center a few years ago, one of my team members was also an artist and did a whiteboard rendition of me as Lumbergh asking everyone "Yeah, if you could knock those messages out, that'd be great... thanks!" I can send you the pic of when I dressed up as Lumbergh one day and stood side-by-side by it lol. And OH YES, this film is still literally 100% accurate 22 years later :P

The manager at the restaurant is Mike Judge, the guy who wrote the script. After this movie came out TGIFridays dropped the "flair" from their waitstaffs uniforms because so many people came in and asked how much they were wearing. ps this entire movie started as an animated bit of Milton saying he was going to burn down the office on Saturday Night Live.

Diedrich Bader is hilarious as the neighbor lol. I love that dude's work. He was also in Drew Carey Show, King Of The Hill, Napoleon Dynamite, and American Housewife.

I swear seeing milton sitting at the bench with his suitcase and lunch woith a drink is the cutest thing

Gary Cole. The guy who nailed the way he says "what's happening" so that it is not a question.

Brandon mentioning Get Out in another Stephen Root movie is pretty fantastic. My favorite chameleon actor of all time lmao

My good friend worked with Gary (Lumberg) Cole on a TV show a few years ago and he said that he would occasionally throw out a “yeah, riiiight” in conversation once and a while. My friend also worked with Steven (Milton) Root as well. Both great actors that turn up everywhere.

Fun Fact : Jennifer Aniston's boss is Mike Judge, director of this movie and creator and voice of Beavis and Butthead and King Of The Hill.

Not just a great comedy, it's both a culturally and historically important movie. The line deliveries are so memorable too, my favorite being Lawrence's "I'll tell you what I'd do man. Two chicks at the same time man." -__-

One of the best movies of all time for me. Mike Judge is a legend! I grew up watching Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill which he produced and voiced. His movie Idiocracy is my favorite movie, I just can't believe so many people have never seen it or Office Space.

If I worked there, I would bring Milton his own cake then quit. Leave with a bit of happiness. Cake for Milton!

Mike Judge is also in the movie playing the character Jennifer Anistons boss that kept complaining about her lack of flare.

Mike Judge, creator of Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space, Idiocracy, Extract, and many others

Peter is my spirit animal. For about 20 years I have strived to become what he becomes in this movie, still trying, I'll get there some day. The studio told Mike Judge he couldn't use gangster rap, and he convinced them it was essential.

Funny that you mention Get Out during the hypnosis scene and Stephen Root is in both.

"Someone has a case of the Mondays!" Lawrence went ballistic

The printer scene in Office Space is iconic. One of Mike Judge’s best pieces of writing

Mike Judge is also the creator and voices for Beavis and Butt-Head, and King of the Hill. He was also in the movie as the restaurant manager who was asking for more flair.

This movie nailed the office environment, and the soul sucking that can go along with it. It's why it's timeless.

"Can't blame him under that stress, though." The funny thing is, he probably has one of the most valuable jobs _to_ the company - translating between the vague nonsense of customer requests and the technical detail of engineering information is a very important task, and having customers and engineers communicate directly doesn't often go well. (Though it can be frustrating when you yourself DO have technical knowledge, and simply want the in-between to communicate your words directly to the engineer without translation, and they refuse to do so... the number of times I've spent three weeks dealing with a problem, only to finally manage to speak to an engineer directly and get it solved in five minutes.)

I worked as an engineer in Singapore. I watched this movie and retired at age 42. I came back to Myanmar and was doing nothing but watching the reaction videos. 😁

one of my favorite comedies ever. loved it before working an office job and REALLY love it after... lmao

Last time I was this early my gf got mad at me

“Hey, whaaaaaats happening? Yeah….”

You can find on RU-vid a parody sketch of the real Michael Bolton doing Office Space.

"Poor Milton, his life is a mess as is his cubicle." What a line!

Mike Judge was the director. He was the creator and voice actor for the Beavis and Butthead cartoon in the 90's as well.

I believe that there is a deleted scene where they reveal that Lumbergh did actually die in the fire, but they felt it was too dark of an ending so they cut it. This movie is 22 years old now and it's still one of the most amazingly relevant films out there.

Mike Judge was the Manager at Chachkee's You need to see "Idiocracy" by Judge also. If you have not been told yet he is also the creator of Bevis and Butthead.

Silicon Valley is a bit of a spiritual successor to this film in some ways. Very funny

My first deployment overseas in 03 me and my 4 friends we watch Office space and Mc hammer videos everyday lol I'll never forget Office space and dancing to Hammertime 😁 good memories

FYI, the real Michael Bolton redid all the same scenes as the OS Mike Bolton in a Funny Or Die video (it's on RU-vid).

Mike Judge is a comedic genius

"It's not just about me and my dream of doing nothing. It's about all of us together."

The original "The Office".

As a teenager, this movie was amusing. As someone who has now worked for a couple years in corporate America, this movie is GOD-tier. I pretty much see all this shit on a daily basis.

i luv how they need 2 bobs to get rid of redundancy. also, when we meet the 1st bob at the office meeting, the guy nodding is mike judge

Peter's interview with the Bobs is just sooooooo damn relatable.

*A classic. One of my favorite comedies*

The restaurant manager is Mike Judge, the writer. He is also the creator and voices of Beavis & Butthead
