“It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.”

Idiocracy. It’s how crocs got their big break, as wardrobe/costume dept found the new company in their search for ridiculous looking footwear (that was cheap/affordable) for the mass population of the movie to wear

There's a funny story where the studio didn't want to use them, but Mike Judge insisted. Studio execs argued that no one would wear such ugly shoes. Everyone wears them now!

I’m an OR nurse and so talk about patient’s skin with my coworkers a lot. Whenever someone describes a patient’s skin as fragile I say “he/she must be Italian.” Sometimes they pick up what I’m laying down, but mostly not.

With as much dignity as he could muster, the Old Man gathered up the sad remains of his shattered Major Award. Later that night, alone in the backyard, he buried it next to the garage. Now I could never be sure, but I thought that I heard the sound of "Taps" being played, gently.

Cut me a line of them on a mirror and I'll snort them like Pacino in Scarface facing off with the cops.

TuckerCarlsonsOhface@reddit
Of course that makes you think of Office Space, because Swingline didn’t make a red stapler before the movie created a demand. That stapler only exists because of the movie.
DizzyLead@reddit
Also worth pointing out that the red stapler that Swingline makes and sells (as seen in OP’s picture) doesn’t quite look like the one in the movie; the sold product has the Swingline brand embossed in a narrow metal oval on top of the stapler, while the movie stapler has the Swingline brand embossed in white on the sides.
ElfDestruct@reddit
Sigh... my red swingline stapler is now an extremely pale orangey pink after years of UV exposure

I got one of these for Christmas, let's just say it didn't perform as well as the one in the movie did.

xrelaht@reddit
IIRC, the producers called up Swingline to ask about a “special” stapler and were told they didn’t make anything like that, so they took several to an auto body shop and had them disassembled and custom painted.
PlagueDrWily@reddit
silver_tongued_devil@reddit
I still remember the NPR interview where they talked about how they got it to do that perfect water thing when I was a kid. IRC basically they put a guitar string under the dash and pulled it away and let it bounce.
PlagueDrWily@reddit
Yes I remember hearing that mentioned in a making-of documentary that aired around the time the movie was released. I still think of that anytime I watch these movies.

And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

I have that stapler at work. A black one is $2 less. Sorry boss, I spent the company's money on myself. It makes me smile every time I use it. Also, it's a real good stapler.

This is why I own a heavy grey steel swingline stapler. Because fuck buying one because of a movie, when I could steal the one my work actually had.

We kept one in the copy room at one office I worked at because then it was easy to see who stole the copy room stapler. lol
Fun fact - swingline didn’t have a red stapler before that movie. The movie made it popular so they created it. :)

One of my favorite games to play at board game night is Decrypto. It's a game where you have a set of four code words, and your team has to clue you in to which word they're referring to in such a way that the other team doesn't understand. The best clue I ever heard was when our code word was "Squirrel" and the clue given was "Married."
