not underrated at all. Under the radar for sure, I saw it early on when few few people I knew had seen it. But it has grown into a cult movie for sure and I don't know of anyone who underrates it. One of my top five favorite movies of all time.

This movie is why you can tear my work-from-home setup from my cold dead hands.

The guy who played Milton, Stephen Root, is a very good character actor. You've seen him in a lot of things before. But one thing that you have not seen him in, but have definitely heard him in is as the character Bill Dauterive from the animated Mike Judge comedy King of the Hill.

Swingline only made staplers in black and white. The success of this film got them a lot of requests for red ones, so they were added to the product line.

@arandomnamegoeshere

Adding to this... The red Swingline was custom painted for the movie. It needed to pop on the screen. It represented petty office politics that often revolve around insignificant things like supplies, equipment, desk locations, etc. I'd say it hits home. Swingline did indeed eventually create a whole line of brightly colored products (including the classic stapler design) based on the popularity of this film. They saw the market being fed by small operations doing some high quality custom paint jobs and reselling red Swinglines on markets like eBay. Clearly a demand was there.

Actually, this is incorrect…at my first office job, back in 1989, I was able to get a Swingline 747 model in Red. When I left the job, they let me take it with me. I understand Milton being so possessive of it, too…although mine is made of metal and not the cheap plastic, like his! I’ve taken it with me to every job I’ve had since then and have made sure my office-mates know it’s MINE and if it ever goes missing, I WILL hunt them down and make them regret even THINKING about taking it!!! If I had known how well-made they were and how they hold up, I would have nabbed a few more on my way out the door.

Office Space is about a bunch of office workers fed up with their jobs. The movie was so popular that it inspired similar movies like Bad Santa. That one was about a bunch of mall Santas fed up with their jobs.

THIS IS AMERICA ! legit this is the best reaction to this film.

Anyone whose ever had a job they hated, regardless of their profession, can relate to this movie. I saw it the year it came out. I liked it so much I skipped work the next day.

This movie did not perform well in theatres since not many people knew or cared about the tech industry. When it was released on video and started being shown on TV it got a huge cult following even still today. Stephen Root Milton created a lot of comics plus their was a office space comic strip called Dilbert. After this movie the entire restaurant industry changed because it was standard practice for places like Ruby Tuesday Chili's etc to force waitresses to wear flare. After the movie it was dropped right away. Lastly the entire Michael Bolton rambling scene completely improvised by everyone.

I also worked on the B2 bomber when it was a black project. One afternoon one of my male coworkers spent hours tormenting another male coworker, whose desk was next to mine. There was an air conditioning problem and we were all freezing and wearing our coats inside. Salvatore, who was from Sicily, constructed an elaborate kind of paper mache device that eventually started blowing the pencils off of Rufus's desk. Needless to say, none of us got much done that day. 😒😵‍💫

That damn stapler was the highlight 😂

This mothertrucker right here is my favorite comedy of all time! Desert island movie. Great job you guys!

You two should watch 'Idiocracy' if you have not already. It's another cult classic that is highly quotable. Some, like myself, consider it a "documentary".

12:09 I love the way the vibrates into motion as she screams into the recorder "I've been cheating on you!"

Watching a new generation discover Office Space warms my cold heart

32:40 Because Milton threatened to "set the building on fire" about 20 times. And foreshadowing - the last thing he says as the movie ends is "I could put strychnine in the guacamole." But that should be in the sequel.

Uh, yaah....great reaction. But we:re gonna need you to , come in tomorrow, yaah, and Sunday too. 😂

9:33 nope, that was 1999, some computers still needed to be powered off after the system shut down 💾🔌

This was such a great reaction. You both had me laughing out loud. This movie is a speeding dumpster fire from the beginning and an absolute riot. "Michael Bolton" was my favorite character. Omg! Zay, when you imitated that little flare weasel in the parking lot, I had to watch that like 5 times! So funny!! You guys know I fly for a living and often we work for several airlines in our careers and I flew for some smaller,shady, mom and pop jobs and have some epic walkout stories. The smaller, regional airlines work their crews like dogs and pay very very little. It's criminal! So at one turd ball outfit I was so sick and tired of their insanity that when I walked past a gate of a flight going to my hometown, I told the Pilots I had to use the bathroom and I'd meet them at the gate and I got on that flight home instead!!! Mailed all my required FAA items back to the base and was like ✌🏻. Those poor pilots probably had to tell those 50 people their flight attendant went missing!!! 😅🎉

Fun Fact: Stan is played by Mike Judge, the guy who made this movie and is the creator and the voices of 'Beavis and Butthead'. Also, Lumbergh dies in a deleted scene, as on the special edition DVD, there is a clip where Peter is at the construction site, cleaning up the charred remains of his old work and mentions to his friends 'any body going to Lumbergh's funeral?' Implying he burned alive when he was trapped in the building.

You know, I never noticed that Milton had the envelope.

This should be literally mandatory viewing for everyone who has ever had any job in history. It's not a comedy. It's therapy. Mike Judge Alert! 15:50 That's him! Love it. 🚨

It’s nice to see how this movie is relatable to the younger gens as well… because office BS is pretty timeless- lol! Great video!

Some reactions I see & drop everything to watch- this will be one. Watching you two watch this will be a treat. 🍿😎🍿

If you haven't seen it, the movie waiting is another gem.😂

I think what really makes this movie great is how much subtle humor there is with expressions and proper pause with a joke. Like the whole repeated responses to Peter thinking his GF was cheating on him, how they look away, clearly imagining something. Lawrence's growing seriousness when he responds to "Has anybody ever said to you, 'Sounds like a case of the Mundays" "No. Nah man... shit nah man, you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that." Michael's reaction to Lawrence overhearing all the stuff about money laundering, "who the F*** is that guy?"

17:44 Zay with the quote of the century: "It's always the people who don't deal with it who have the most critiques."

Jennifer Aniston's manager was Mike Judge.

The dude who played MILTON WAS ALSO IN DOGEBALL:A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY.....& the neighboring this was in 'Napoleon Dynamite'. 2 cult comedy classics.

Milton said one of the times he was getting crapped on "I could burn this place to the ground". He later said "That's the last straw" when they shut the light off in the basement. Milton is the low-key hero of the movie.

I love watching you react to shit from my youth lol seeing your sweet faces, giggling at what I giggled at long ago, it makes me happy (and honestly, I can not decide which one of you is cuter! I've tried, truly! But you both are totally adorable)

This movie is practically a documentary about what it's like to work in a corporate office. So many of the scenes in the movie I've seen play out in real life at the companies I've worked for.

One thought about Family Guy that came to mind while you were talking is I never realized how much of the show is just remixed gags from other shows & movies. I can't think of a single Family Guy joke or plotline that doesn't come from someone else's imagination.

Mike Judge: Office Space, King of the Hill, Beavis and Butthead, Idiocracy, Silicon Valley

Well I’ve got that Red Stapler. Lol! I loved that movie! I actually love these two guys. They are very mature for their age and I love that. I saw them react to Band of Brothers and they were so knowledgeable. Just cool, intelligent, really funny young guys. Love Them!

There’s a reason I have been in outside sales and worked from home for the last 25 years.

Office Space was my 12yrs in the Field Communication(US Army). I mostly worked in an S-6(Commo Shop). If we werent setting up or jumping sites. We worked in an office setting. Making sure everyone else office life was situated. IE Email automation, voip service installation, laptop/cellphone distribution, etc. The inventory tracking, emails, emails to emails, reports... "Did you get the X from Y, and report Y the Z so Z can see the mission status of X and Y" "Yes". "Go see Y, about X and pass the brief to Z".

One of my all time favorite movies done by an awesome channel, love it :)

He didnt break down. He was hypnotized into a syate of complete relaxation, but then the doctor died before he could bring him back, so he was left in that state. He He literally lost his ability to stress or care about things he doesnt like.

I guess you missed the multiple times Milton said "ok, but I could set the building on fire..." and then in the basement, "ok, but that's the last straw"

"I Didn't Know she was in This" at the same time was so cute you guys

Really enjoyed laughing along with you as you both appreciated the humor so much throughout!

i still say at work during annual reviews: "I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people" He was in the Brady Bunch movies also

Fun little factoid - Swingline did not make a little red stapler. But, they had so many requests after this movie they made one, and it's their #1 selling stapler. ;)

I’m a simple man. I see Office Space content, I like and comment.

Y’all should react to the movies: “Interstellar”, “Meet Joe Black”, “Bicentennial Man”, “Chronicles of Riddick”, and “Tremors”

I'm the person that doesn't let the bad drivers who are constantly switching lanes get over and I laugh and laugh

Under customer pressure after the movie, Swingline staplers actually came out with a red stapler. The movie had it painted red because that didn’t exist. 😂

Swingline didn’t make a red stapler but there was a big demand after the movie came out so they made one.

You know, we all need more Mike Judge in our lives. Excellent reaction! Subbed
