Office Space might just be the most relatable movie on the planet or at least one of the funniest! These Office Space quotes from Peter, Samir, Milton, and Michael Bolton (yup, but not that one), will have you laughing hard, or questioning your life choices. Heck, they might have you doing both things at the same time.

If you have ever had a job you felt was sucking your will to live, then you need to watch this movie. Peter, an unmotivated and frustrated programmer, and his coworkers really despise the company they work for. Or maybe they just hate their jobs. Once again, it might be a bit of both things…

Peter’s girlfriend at the time convinces him to see a hypnotherapist who dies of a heart attack during their session. He emerges as a much more relaxed version of himself and ignores calls from his boss and the girlfriend, who breaks up with him.

Peter then dates a server from a local restaurant who shares his distaste for management. Keep reading these Office Space quotes about work and life, and see just how crazy this movie gets!

Which of these Office Space quotes is your favorite?

‘The Bobs’ are brought in to downsize the company while Peter is busy flouting all the rules, policies, and work etiquette. He and his buddies also devise a plan to embezzle fractions of pennies.

All this is happening while poor Milton is going on about his stapler, after not realizing he had been fired years before because he was still collecting a check thanks to a computer glitch. (Don’t worry, the Bobs have the glitch fixed….)

The ending of this movie is so crazy, and I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say, don’t feel too bad for Milton. It was not particularly a money-making film, as it barely broke even at the box office. However, Comedy Central fans loved it, as did at-home viewers.

The movie has become a bit of a cult classic about the quintessential 90s cubicle employee. If you had a bad day at work today, turn this one on, and share your favorite part with us in the comment section below. Don’t forget to also mention any other favorite Office Space quotes and lines.
