what a great therapist, sacrificing his own life for Peter's salvation

[sammencia]

Peter is so stressed out the transference of it to the therapist kills the counselor.

[nothadley]

Dude just invented ASMR and then left earth

[TheFailedmessiah]

This guy is acting out a heart attack perfectly, he even acted the left arm getting numb wow.

[lawrencebird]

Perhaps the greatest movie ever. Once upon a time I didn't go to work for two straight days. Didn't call. Nothing. Went to the beach....then I showed up on the third day and my boss didn't say a word to me! I quoted this movie feverishly to my friends. Moral is, be a boss!!!

[Ganjwarrior]

The absolute disgust on Anne's face when Peter asks to be "zonked out" tells you everything you need to know about her character.

Best visual gag in the movie: therapist’s sign says he also sells insurance.

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life". Like f@#$, the director literally understands the misery of millions and millions of people who suffer in offices. The poor therapist, he took in all the stress from Peter and paid with his life.

[jarenmullen]

Anyone catch "Insurance" as something he helps people deal with. Love that

[JackBrunelle]

Peter: Can you hypnotize me to think I'm fishing instead of working?
Therapist: That's not what I do.
Also Therapist: Proceeds to hypnotize Peter.

Watching this while high and died laughing at Dr. Swanson's soothing voice.

[sunnchilde]

I wonder if when they made this if they realized how iconic it would become?

[karlmeaner]

it's one of those scenes that really shouldn't be funny but it's hilarious.

[TheGreyParse]

The look on her face when she realizes something's not right with him

[LuisferRomeroCalero]

0:37 probably how the brainstorming for the plot of Severance started.

[alexbeardsley]

I never noticed the left hand twitch before the therapist keels over and dies

[jamosgarage]

I spent my 20s all stressed out, and working fifty five hours per week in the trades. Changed my outlook in my mid 30s, and became self employed. Have been working part time the past six years, and am much happier.

[alden]

Such a great movie - excellent comedy with important life lessons for spice.

[MuffinMan]

This scene always helps me relieve my stress.
