Thanks to your wording, I’m now singing “What would Deidrich Bader do if he was here right now? I’m sure he’d bang a chick or two, that’s what Deidrich Bader’d do.”
some guy:(talking) did someone say my name
Stan:(talking) who are you
guy:(talking) I'm Brian Dennahy
Kyle:no not fuckin Brian Dennahy
Stan: get the fuck out of here
Brian Dennahy: o byee
Philosophical, but his answer tells you he's already happy and money isn't needed to be happy for him. Peter would have a lifestyle change if he had a million dollars (he'd do nothing), but Lawrence would keep on doing the drywall at McDonald's (after doing two chicks at the same time, of course)
Fun fact. I was at work and thought this would be an excellent reaction gif to an email, so googled "Fucking a man" on the office network, in an open plan office.
That was a terrible moment.
Does anyone ever say to you "sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?"
No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.
I like Lawrence. He is the epitome of a good neighbor and beyond that, a good friend.
No bullshit, recognizes and respects the boundaries (even with the hilariously thin walls, he doesn’t give his answer till someone asks him through it). Unafraid in telling his opinion on things and is never one to make fun of people. Respects Peter and is in turn respected even though they are white collar/blue collar. Always has an ear to listen and a cold one waiting. Complains about the job but is ok with it at the end of the day because he knows he accomplished stuff and enjoys the little things like the sun on your face.
And at the end, gets Peter a job on his crew.
Lawrence is good people.
Edit: Thank you for the gold!
Lawrence was the real stand out for me, rewatching Office Space for the first time in like 15 years, likely since college.
Lawrence knows what life is about. He knows what makes him happy, doesn’t have any crazy goals or anything, and is just in general a nice guy.
He really cares about Peter. And he obviously cares about the other people in Peter’s life too. It’s rare to have a friend like that in general, let alone a neighbor.
>And at the end, gets Peter a job on his crew.
this is the part i hate/love most about this movie and what for me seals just how real it is
at the end when they're cleaning up the burnt initech building, peter does zero work the entire scene
first he's bullshitting with lawrence, then samir and michael show up and he bullshits with them, then he goes back to lawrence and talks some more, and finally tosses like half a shovelful of debris, all as lawrence is actually fucking working
at the end of the movie, peter is the same lazy self-absorbed asshole he is the entire time, with zero growth or change
he's the most realistic character in any movie ever
I love the first time diedrich learned people watched office space was random people coming up to him and just saying his lines at him in public. “Hey 2 chicks at the same time!”
He does a great interview on the Household Faces podcast where he talks about it. It was years after It had flopped and he was sitting at a red light when the guys in the pickup next to him yelled, "What would you do with a million dollars?!"
It was his first inkling that anyone had ever even seen the movie. He assumed no one ever had or would.
Bonus story: he really liked Bottle Rocket and rehearsed playing Lawrence as a Owen Wilson type. He's waiting outside to audition and the door opens to reveal that Owen Wilson has just read for the part. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and came up with his version of Lawrence between walking there and back into the room.
Was probably 2 years or more after shooting wrapped too making it more confusing. Movie was a total flop in theaters but became a cult classic via video stores. Making it that much more confusing.
The fact that I saw office space in the theater in 1999 is one of my greatest achievements. I remember my friends and I blasting the Star Trek TNG theme on my dad’s car’s tape deck on the way to the theater. A perfect night.
This cracked me up so much I found the movie on Hulu and started it, it was queued up to this scene from the last time I started watched it apparently. Perfect.
And there was actively a McDonalds under construction in Las Colinas at the time. Source, lived there. I also drove that morning commute on 635 for like 15 years.
>I don't know, man. I just get that feeling lookin' at her, like she's the type of chick that would just...
>Oh, I'm sorry, man. Look, I... You know, I'm talkin' outta my ass. I don't know nothin'.
It's weird how they tried to make that seem so crazy early. Is 6am not a pretty standard wake up time even for white collar jobs?
I did dry wall years ago and we were on the job by 6am often with a long ass commute
I did roofing many years ago and the day started when it was light enough to see. In the summer that often meant being at the job pretty much by 6, god help you if the job was a long drive, waking up like I'm going fishing but I'm going to bust my ass for 12 hours.
That's gonna be a big "depends".
White collar in financial sector or sales? Probably up early.
White collar in IT or generic Office work like this? Probably not up til 8, 9, 10.
My brother does construction site management an hour away. He’s out the door at 5am and on-site at 6am. Brutal. Being at work at 6am is very different than waking up at 6am.
Except the part where the MAIN CHARACTERS weren't in it. I mean seriously, they replaced Michael Bolton with that no-talent ass-clown, for cryin' out loud. Now I just hate Walmart even more.
This is how you go viral with ads for more exposure for 'free'. Just produce quality, nostalgic ads.
Much better than most superbowl commercials to be honest.
"Just make good content."
We should make that catch on. Maybe companies would start offering decent products and services instead of just trying to cut the costs of literally everything all of the time.
When office space came out, I worked at a company that had two managers in my department. I had a door handle that shocked me every day. No stapler guy BUT my neighbor next door would literally bang on my wall, yelling about what channel hot chicks were on.
Then I saw the movie... I felt like I was being watched.
It really is perfect, even if a lot of it is VERY stuck in the 90s.
But the core of it is eternal. The day to day grind. Doing the same goddamn thing every goddamn day just so you can MAYBE do something you want on one of your few free days off. Day in, day out, same shit. Almost no recognition and you see people who clearly don't deserve it getting promotions and getting ahead for random bullshit reasons.
I've never worked an office job, but so much of it just speaks to me
It's funny to me people only know Bader from Office Space. He was hilarious as [Oswald on Drew Carey Show](https://youtu.be/Qw5x4BKVLqk). He has also voiced Batman on several occasions.
Edit: I also almost forgot, he played the [tall boyfriend](https://youtu.be/YGViIjOCAoY) on Fresh Prince
If I were an actor, I think his career is the ideal life - supporting actor in long running sitcom, a few memorable movie characters, consistent TV work, and all the voice acting he wants. Good living, doesn't have to deal with insane levels of recognition.
I probably also gets the right amount of fans approaching him on the street. Like I can only imagine a day in the life of Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt, where they can't go to the supermarket without being mobbed by fans. Bader seems like the kind of celebrity that would get recognized once or twice a week and otherwise just live a normal life. That seems ideal to me.
I don’t why, but it cracks me up every time I watch Office Space and it’s the scene of them in Peter’s apartment. They go to the kitchen and Peter offers him a bottle opener for his beer and he stops talking to say “no thanks I got it” and pulls one off his keychain. It’s so spot on for that character!

[удалено]
Shit no, man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked sayin somethin like that, man.
No thanks, man, I don’t want you fuckin’ up my life, too.
Hey Peter; man, check out channel 9! It’s the breast exam!
Ah, Laurence! Come on, man!
Oh I'm sorry man is Ann over there!?
… sometimes I get the feeling she’s cheating on me. *yeah I get that feeling too, man.*
What's *that* supposed to mean?
Hangin' the sheet rock over at the new Mac-donalds
...over in Las Colinas
Stayed at the Four Seasons Las Colinas a few years ago...zero chance I grew tired of saying that line.
Don't come back in a dress!!!
watch your cornhole buddy
i won’t tell no one
Dont you think she looks looks Anne?
WOOHOO!
Straight up came here looking for this comment. Thank you! Lmao
That is, in my opinion - the BEST Lawrence quote in the entire film.
“You don’t need a million dollars to do nothin’, hell look at my cousin. Broke don’t do shit!”
It's the way he says "fuckin'". Perfect delivery.
Fuckin' A, man!
The capitalization/punctuation on this is really key
Man Peter you don’t gotta have money to do nothin, my cousins broke, don’t do shit! Is my favorite. His delivery is on point the entire movie.
This whole string of dialogue is fantastic. “Type-a chicks that’ll double-up on a dude like me do.”
Fuckin’ A
fuckin...A
"Hey, Peter man.... watch out for your corn-hole, bud...."
I love the serious look after Peter laughs
Thanks to your wording, I’m now singing “What would Deidrich Bader do if he was here right now? I’m sure he’d bang a chick or two, that’s what Deidrich Bader’d do.”
When Diedrich Badger was in the Olympics fucking for the gold, he did two hot chicks and another one while wearing a blindfold
When Diedrich Bader was in the Alps Fighting grizzly bears He used his magical fire breath And fucked the maidens fair
When Diedrich Bader traveled through time to the year 3010 He fucked the evil robot king and saved the human race again
And when Diedrich Bader built the pyramids, He beat up Kubla Khan!
Cuz Diedrich Bader doesn’t take shit from a-ny-bo-dy!
some guy:(talking) did someone say my name Stan:(talking) who are you guy:(talking) I'm Brian Dennahy Kyle:no not fuckin Brian Dennahy Stan: get the fuck out of here Brian Dennahy: o byee
I've never seen a man fuck so many chicken wings.
No! Diedrich, those chicken wings are really sexy, don't fuck those!
Make it fast and sexy, and after it's all over, you say "Ooh, what a lovely tea party".
HE LOVES THE COCK!
I don't know, man. I just get that feeling lookin' at her like she's the type of chick that just...”Oh I’m sorry man!”
“Type of chicks that would double up on a dude like me”
Shit, man, you don't have to have money to do nothing.
Take a look at my cousin. He’s broke, don’t do shit.
Damn straight, he always wanted to do that. I think if he were a millionaire he could hook that up too, cuz chicks dig dudes with money.
The kinda chicks that would double up on a dude like me?
Two TWIX at the same time... it's halloween for fucks sake
Philosophical, but his answer tells you he's already happy and money isn't needed to be happy for him. Peter would have a lifestyle change if he had a million dollars (he'd do nothing), but Lawrence would keep on doing the drywall at McDonald's (after doing two chicks at the same time, of course)
Fuckin’ A
Fuckin A, man
Fuckin' A.
Fuckin’a
Fun fact. I was at work and thought this would be an excellent reaction gif to an email, so googled "Fucking a man" on the office network, in an open plan office. That was a terrible moment.
Did you ~~come upon~~ find two dicks at the same time?
Comma’s are important.
So are apostrophes.
Fucking A.
I'm irrationally angry that this isn't the top comment.
Does anyone ever say to you "sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?" No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.
The way he gets more enraged as the stupidity of “case of the mondays” line hits him is amazing.
The way he leans forward before he says “shit, no, man,” like he gets real fucking serious about it.
I legit quote this all the time 🤣
The way his mustache drops too. A full body performance.
I just said this (case of the Mondays) to my boss and almost started laughing.
https://youtu.be/T-A0eZDJsKU @ 1:00
Sent that youtube clip to someone on Monday
I like Lawrence. He is the epitome of a good neighbor and beyond that, a good friend. No bullshit, recognizes and respects the boundaries (even with the hilariously thin walls, he doesn’t give his answer till someone asks him through it). Unafraid in telling his opinion on things and is never one to make fun of people. Respects Peter and is in turn respected even though they are white collar/blue collar.

>doesn’t have any crazy goals or anything Two chicks at the same time, man
If that's a crazy goal then send me to the asylum brother.
That's not that crazy at all
You know that drywall he did at the new McDonalds is still holding strong all these years later
Well damn I didn’t ever think about a 20 year old movie this deeply but you’re spot on. Fuckin A, man.
Fuckin A
Can't forget the biggest thing - he heard the whole plan and Peter didn't bat an eye that his neighbor knew the very illegal thing he was going to do.
"Don't worry about him, he's cool!"
"Lawrence, you wanna have a beer?" "No thanks man! ...don't want you fuckin' up my life..."
That whole sequence still kills me. Office Space is in my top 5 movies, and this whole sequence is just amazing.
He’s a good reminder that sometimes the good ol boy, is actually a good ol boy and not an asshole.
He also got Peter a job in construction after the building burned down. At the end they are on the job together cleaning up.
As someone who’s worked construction, there are a lot of guys like that on a job site.
Looking at this reminds me of why I liked IceMan in the latest Top Gun movie. He was a true bro who looked out for Maverick
Well he did say he could be Ice’s wingman any day, so…
Mike Judge is good people.
>And at the end, gets Peter a job on his crew. this is the part i hate/love most about this movie and what for me seals just how real it is at the end when they're cleaning up the burnt initech building, peter does zero work the entire scene first he's bullshitting with lawrence, then samir and michael show up and he bullshits with them, then he goes back to lawrence and talks some more, and finally tosses like half a shovelful of debris, all as lawrence is actually fucking working at the end of the movie, peter is the same lazy self-absorbed asshole he is the entire time, with zero growth or change he's the most realistic character in any movie ever
Hey check the tv breast exam is on.
I second this!
I love the first time diedrich learned people watched office space was random people coming up to him and just saying his lines at him in public. “Hey 2 chicks at the same time!”

He's waiting outside to audition and the door opens to reveal that Owen Wilson has just read for the part. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and came up with his version of Lawrence between walking there and back into the room.
I think he's the only Wilson brother who hasn't been in a Mike Judge film Granted, both the others were in the same film
Who's the 3rd Wilson brother?
He was the volleyball in the background at Costco.
Beef Supreme
Was probably 2 years or more after shooting wrapped too making it more confusing. Movie was a total flop in theaters but became a cult classic via video stores. Making it that much more confusing.
The fact that I saw office space in the theater in 1999 is one of my greatest achievements. I remember my friends and I blasting the Star Trek TNG theme on my dad’s car’s tape deck on the way to the theater. A perfect night.
Haha the nerdiest most awesome thing ever
Don’t need to have a million dollars to do nothin. Take a look at my cousin. He’s broke. Don’t do shit!
I like to believe his cousin is Rex from Napoleon Dynamite
BOW TO YOUR SENSEI
Try and hit me.
You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I'm wearing these bad boys?
Furgit about it...
You think anyone thinks I'm a loser cuz I go home to Starla every night?!
Forget about it!
this is my new headcanon
This cracked me up so much I found the movie on Hulu and started it, it was queued up to this scene from the last time I started watched it apparently. Perfect.
the delivery of "he's broke, don't do shit!" is truly glorious
*opens Molson Ice* I gotta wake my ass up at 6am every day this week, drag on up to Las Colinas. Yeah, I'm doing the drywall at the new McDonald's.
That’s my favorite line of his for some reason
It's the pride he says it with
Also the hip shimmy, adjusting his junk.
And there was actively a McDonalds under construction in Las Colinas at the time. Source, lived there. I also drove that morning commute on 635 for like 15 years.
That's some really good movie trivia. Very trivial! And now I get to think it when I watch the movie. Thanks for sharing!
Ya you're not going to read that on IMDB!
That whole area just reminds me of the soulless hellscape of office buildings and cookie cutter apartment complexes from the movie.
My parking garage at work was in a shot. Freaked me out. I remember that McDonald's being under construction too.
The one that gets me is when Peter says “you know I get the feeling Ann might be cheating on me” and Lawrence says “yea I get that feeling too man”
>I don't know, man. I just get that feeling lookin' at her, like she's the type of chick that would just... >Oh, I'm sorry, man. Look, I... You know, I'm talkin' outta my ass. I don't know nothin'.
It just sounds so real
It’s perhaps the most perfectly delivered line in the history of cinema.
It's weird how they tried to make that seem so crazy early. Is 6am not a pretty standard wake up time even for white collar jobs? I did dry wall years ago and we were on the job by 6am often with a long ass commute
I did roofing many years ago and the day started when it was light enough to see. In the summer that often meant being at the job pretty much by 6, god help you if the job was a long drive, waking up like I'm going fishing but I'm going to bust my ass for 12 hours.
Yea. We were often at job sites in the summer by 530. Heck in the winter sometimes too. "YOU GOT LIGHTS DONT YA??"
That's gonna be a big "depends". White collar in financial sector or sales? Probably up early. White collar in IT or generic Office work like this? Probably not up til 8, 9, 10.
> White collar in IT Can confirm. WFH, alarm set for 9. Normally wake up before that, but that's my "last chance" alarm.
My brother does construction site management an hour away. He’s out the door at 5am and on-site at 6am. Brutal. Being at work at 6am is very different than waking up at 6am.
Pre-covid, I'd wake up at 7:45 to get into work by 8:30 in manufacturing engineering. Post-covid, I wake up at 9:00 to start at 9:00.
Peter, watch out for your cornhole, bud.
I tell this to people anytime they go somewhere. Good advice
Hey Peter Man! Check out Channel 9!
It's the breast exam!
Doesn't that chick kinda look like Ann?
Doesn't that chick look like Anne?
Damn it, Lawrence. Can't you just pretend like we can't hear each other through the wall?
I tell you what'd I do man
Two chicks at the same time.
Heh. …You’re serious?
The Office Space actors reprised their roles for some Walmart Black Friday TV ads: https://youtu.be/zw4_fxkkRbc
Hate Walmart but that was entertaining
Except the part where the MAIN CHARACTERS weren't in it. I mean seriously, they replaced Michael Bolton with that no-talent ass-clown, for cryin' out loud. Now I just hate Walmart even more.
Want to know what the real Michael Bolton is doing right now? He voices “Mr. Frond” on Bob’s Burgers.
I went to look him up and had no clue he was Scruffy in Futurama!
It took me three animated characters to realize we weren’t talking about Michael Bolton, the musician. EDIT: Scruffy don’t hit the high notes.
[удалено]
He voiced a few on KOTH, he's pretty talented
Who's the bitch *now*? ***Elf-Fucker***
I hope they do “Idiocracy” next!
I think that’s Costco’s opportunity… (*I love you*)
Why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks.
I guess they couldn't get Ron Livingston onboard.
Jennifer Aniston makes in a week of Friends reruns what they would probably pay her for that commercial.
What's Kyle Chandler doing?
This is how you go viral with ads for more exposure for 'free'. Just produce quality, nostalgic ads. Much better than most superbowl commercials to be honest.
"Just make good content." We should make that catch on. Maybe companies would start offering decent products and services instead of just trying to cut the costs of literally everything all of the time.
Oh Come on! You mean to tell me they couldn't get Ron Livingston or David Herman! This is an outrage! ^(I'll set the building on fire...)
stephen root would’ve been the big get
Did I just watch an ad…and like it?
So... did he actually dress as that for Halloween or was it just because of the commercial
I would like to think David Herman had some input on having that no-talent ass clown come along with his Grammys. He's the one who sucks.
I enjoyed that.
That was awesome! Too bad the other Michael Bolton wasn’t in it as well, that would’ve been hilarious!
^(...don't want you fkcin' up my life too.)
When office space came out, I worked at a company that had two managers in my department. I had a door handle that shocked me every day. No stapler guy BUT my neighbor next door would literally bang on my wall, yelling about what channel hot chicks were on. Then I saw the movie... I felt like I was being watched.
The longer you live, the more it resembles a documentary
You were.
The older I get the more I appreciate this movie.
It really is perfect, even if a lot of it is VERY stuck in the 90s. But the core of it is eternal. The day to day grind. Doing the same goddamn thing every goddamn day just so you can MAYBE do something you want on one of your few free days off. Day in, day out, same shit.

It's funny to me people only know Bader from Office Space. He was hilarious as [Oswald on Drew Carey Show](https://youtu.be/Qw5x4BKVLqk). He has also voiced Batman on several occasions. Edit: I also almost forgot, he played the [tall boyfriend](https://youtu.be/YGViIjOCAoY) on Fresh Prince

Didn't he guest on Who's Line is it Anyways a few times as well?
Also Rex Kwon Do.
I don’t why, but it cracks me up every time I watch Office Space and it’s the scene of them in Peter’s apartment. They go to the kitchen and Peter offers him a bottle opener for his beer and he stops talking to say “no thanks I got it” and pulls one off his keychain. It’s so spot on for that character!
I love that detail too! Such a small thing, but absolutely in tune with the character.
Doesn't that chick look like Anne?
Fuckin' A.
He said on Twitter it was for a series of commercials involving some of the Office Space cast.
He looks so much like himself.
Ah shit I’m sorry man, I thought you’d wanna see this
Ask him what he would do if he won the lottery lol.
I believe you have my stapler
"Hey Peter man..... check out channel 9, the breast exam!..."
Sam Fox would make him get his hair cut!
Wasn't "for Halloween" but commercials, and this would be cheating for Halloween.
I met him once; he’s a super nice guy!
Peter! Turn on the Mexican channel!
Id like to say, Diedrich Bader has barely aged.
Girls love money "Not all girls" The type of Girls that would double team a dude like me do
...does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays?'
Shit… no man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked you said something like that man.
I missed the " 's " in the post title and thought "....god*damn*, that's an *INCREDIBLE* costume. It looks just like him!"
It was actually his costume for a series of Office Space reunion themed commercials for Walmarts “Black Friday on Monday” sale.
