I like the concept but the execution was lacking.

After the first few it's really become a bore. I wish folks would stop thinking this was new or even very funny anymore.

Meh, I was hoping for better. I think it fails because the slightest thought of the movie registers in my mind as "hilarious," and I can't see clips of it in any other light. If you showed it to somebody who hadn't seen Office Space, it might seem like the film's authentic premise...but it just doesn't ring true to me. Not to mention, the execution was horrible.

as an editor, that video makes it very clear to me that the tools I use are getting way too cheap.

Now you know how I feel as a graphic artist.

I say if any more of these pop-up, I'm not going to watch them unless there's a bunch of positive responses. Simply layering another song over a trailer doesn't make it funny or different.

That's been my stance on it for a while now. It has completely become to over done and considering how easy it is, any moron can do one and think it's funny.

Hahahaha. I noticed your username before I clicked the thread (since you were the last person to post), and as I was sounding it out trying to see if it was an odd way of spelling something, I saw your post. Perfect.

There's a good version of this hiding somewhere in that concept.

I still love these things, but this one was really bad. It didn't make much, if any, sense. The second one posted was much better.

Second one was good, focusing on Milton as the psycho.
