Office Space definitely ties with Billy Madison as one of my favorite komedies of all times. I guess it's funnier if you've worked in an office, as I have
~*~*~*~*~*~
Plot:
Peter Gibbons is kompletely fed up with his job at Initec. The majority of his ko-workers are annoying, his boss - Bill Lumberg - is a prikk, and the kommute to work each morning is hell. Peter finally decides to go to a kareer hypnotherapist, since he thinks the guy kan make him lighten up a little. (..."or kould you at least make it so I kome home and think I've been fishing all day?")... Unfortunately the guy dies before Peter has a chance to snap out of it, so from that point on, he just doesn't kare about anything anymore. He stops showing up to work on time or dressing up, and dismisses anything he's asked to doDuring that same week, the kompany begins going through its downsizing process. Some guys have been hired to basikally re-interview everyone for their jobs, and surprisingly, Peter is promoted instead of fired. While in a meeting with the interviewers, he finds out that his 2 work buddies, Michael Bolton (yes, that's his real name) and Samir Naheenanajah are on the list of people who are about to be fired. Peter is angered by this, and so the three kome up with this plan... but I'll let you see the movie

Samir: No one is this kountry kan ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Nahee-Nanajar - Naheenanajar
Michael: Yeah, well, at least you're name isn't Michael Bolton
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name
Michael: There WAS nothing wrong with it until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent-ass-klown bekame famous and started winning Grammys
Samir: Why don't you just go by Mike, instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change it? He's the one who sukks~~

Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chikks at the same time, man
Peter: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chikks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I kould hook that up, cause chikks dig a dude with money
Peter: Well, not all chikks
Lawrence: Well the kind of chikks that'd double up on a dude like me do
Peter: Good point
Lawrence: What about you, what would you do?
Peter: Besides two chikks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah
Peter: Nothing
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
