Some people are absolutely nuts for Office Space. I’m not that way, though I do find it very funny. The story, let’s face it, is a little thin. And not all the comedy works. (The neighbor isn’t that funny, in my opinion.) Maybe I’d love it more if I worked in a more corporate environment, but I’ve only spent 4 or 5 of my working years in an office and I’ve always been encouraged to wear giant Styrofoam hats and people generally leave me the fuck alone.
Now – that aside – the printer scene (referenced above) is one of the funniest moments on film ever. Period. It isn’t just a funny idea, it is executed beautifully. And there are lots of little nuances in the performances. Watch it again to see what I mean.
