'Office Space' Star Ron Livingston Reveals Movie Joke He Still Feels 'A Little Bad About' | TODAY

Office Space is just the alternate reality where Neo never learned about The Matrix

[traildoggy]

I used to think Office Space was a comedy, but somewhere into my IT career I realized it is a documentary.

I met Ron Livingston at a supermarket in Hollywood. He was pleasant and chatted with me for a minute about the movie, and about how much fun they'd had making it. As it happens I'd just watched it (for probably at least the 5th or 6th time) the day before and told him I thought it was just hilarious, a classic that had not yet received its just due. He thanked me.

This movie changed my life.. I was a programmer in San Jose, CA.. it led me to quit my job and remodel houses and then buy rental properties.. I did better than if I stayed in tech and funny enough. Like the lead character, my name is also Peter.. Everyone who worked on this movie should get a frickin gold medal as far as I am concerned.. Thank you Ron Livingston!

I was a couple years into a cubicle job when that came out. It was such a breath of fresh air. And I quit that cubicle job.

Not only did it nail modern cubicle based office work it also nailed commuting, casual restaurant work, and apartment living....it’s a gem 👍🏼

The way Peter decided to prioritize his happiness over fitting in with the day to day monotony of the life we're expected to live was actually very inspiring to me.

My professor in business school made us watch this movie as an assignment. By far the best lesson I've ever received in college!

[lostcelts]

Everything about this movie is golden. The Bobs. Milton’s ongoing problems. The TPS reports. Flair! Peter’s thin apartment walls. The printer scene. All of it … genius.

[moemoe]

Just the mere opening scene of Office Space deserves 10 Oscars.

[gibshredcamel]

I loves Ron Livingstons role in a Band of Brothers. He played the part so well, you felt like you knew his entire characters back story when they really gave you very little of it.

[wlessfanable]

Insiders say that TGIFridays actually got rid of their stupid "flair" policy because of this movie.
Now if more companies would learn from it.

[DaveEPie]

Looking back, Ron L played his part perfectly. He made it real. You honestly believe the character. It was a perfect performance. He can be very proud of this movie.

[cockyrooster]

For a while, in the early 2000's, I remember comedy central probably played this movie once a week....

[wehosrmthink]

I just showed this movie to my 13 year old son. He loved it. What an important socioeconomic event this film had become . True art.

[ppumpkin]

The two Bob scene is a spot on parody of how cost cutting firms really work, they love to hear the disgruntled employees tell them what the problems were, then they would just turn them around and sell them to management of some really important ideas they found.


The Hypnosis scene was also spot on. I told my hypnotherapist about it and he nearly fell on the floor laughing.

[eltravo]

Peter : (yelling through the wall) Hey Lawrence. Wanna come over?

Lawrence: No thanks man. I don’t t want you f$&@!?n ’ up my life too.

[Planclanman]

I saw office space as a 15 year old troubled high school kid who hated school. It taught me to relax, take life less serious on a whole new level, immediately my grades went up, I started having fun more. A big reason I got to where I am today, just this little comedy from a different century.
