Office Space Inspires Destructive Printer Parodies
Posted by Rob Errera on 12/21/2018
It’s a classic scene from a classic comedy. Three frustrated office workers take their misbehaving printer out to the middle of a field and beat it to death to the hip-hop beats of “Still” by the Geto Boys. While the “printer scene” in Office Space makes us feel queasy and sad, many take a perverse pleasure in it. Writer/director Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame touched a very real “printer hatred” nerve when creating this scene.
Office Space — Printer Scene (UNCENSORED)
It’s hard to image — and harder still to talk about — but some people really hate their printers. They take great joy from hurting their faithful office companions. Why? What has that printer ever done except deliver beautiful prints? Except when it goes offline for no reason. Or needs more expensive toner. Or the paper jams.
Okay, we get it. Printers are annoying. That’s why the printer scene from Office Space not only endures but continues to inspire parody videos twenty years after its theatrical release! Here are a few of our favorites.
Family Guy — «Office Space» Printer Scene Take
Beloved family dog Brian and big-mouthed baby Stewie go Office Space on a vinyl record in this oddball parody from the hit animated series, Family Guy. Always good to hear the Geto Boys get loud!
Office Space Parody 3D Printer Scene
Real-life office geeks at Scarlet Inc.
take out their social inadequacy frustrations on a hapless 3D printer in this modern take on the Office Space classic. Go Geto Boys! (With explicit lyrics carefully edited out…these guys really are geeks!)
It Feels Good To Be A Clinton: Ted Cruz Parody Of Office Space Printer Scene
In this strange, sad parody paid for by Ted Cruz, a monstrous Hillary Clinton impersonator beats up an old PC, presumably a server full of clandestine emails, while a faux gangsta raps about how it feels good to be a Clinton. Guess Ted will never know.
HALO Office Space Parody (Printer Scene)
The futuristic soldiers of Halo take a break from their hit gaming environment to break up a prototype helmet with a baseball bat in the middle of a field.
Where’s the love, Chief?
Office Space Printer Scene Remix — Lemonly
The staff at Lemonly have had it with their office printer so they freak out on it with a baseball bat, trendy sneakers, and hipster hairdos.They’re sweet, never sour, at Lemonly…except if you’re a misbehaving printer. Then they beat you to death and leave your corpse in a field.
Xbox Scene (Office Space — Printer Scene Parody)
Jonnyluigi waited a long time to make this video of him destroying his XBox, and he revels in the joyous moment. We share your joy, Johnny. Kill all the XBoxes you want…just leave the poor printer alone.
School Projects — Office Space Parody (Printer Scene)
Okay, maybe it’s not the worst Office Space spoof, but it’s pretty bad. Still, this scene comes from adult entertainment titans Brazzers, so you can forgive the porno movie cheesiness. It also explains why the comly actress forgot to button her blouse. (Pss! We can see your bra…and stuff…) It’s not easy stomping a printer in high heels, but where there’s a will (a script and a paycheck) there’s a way.

Tom Herman goes Office Space on this fax machine after National Signing Day.

«PC Load Letter?»
«Paper jam?»
«This thing’s lucky I’m not armed.»
Fans of Office Space will quickly recognize the quotes pertaining to the copier/printer/fax machine that tormented the movies’ main characters. In one of the most iconic movie scenes from Mike Judge’s 1999 classic, the machine received a violent end at the hands of a baseball bat in the middle of a field.
For Houston coach Tom Herman and the rest of the Cougars’ staff, there may be a similar sentiment toward the fax machine after National Signing Day. That’s why it wasn’t all that surprising to see them take the outdated telecommunications device to task in this brilliant shot-for-shot remake of that scene.
And now, for those unfamiliar, the original scene from Office Space (clean version, for the kids).
Houston did, by the way, secure the best class in the American Athletic Conference, led by five-star defensive tackle Ed Oliver.
Check out the Cougars’ 2016 class below.

How to choose the right fax machine?
Every office has equipment that you can’t do without.
We are talking about a fax machine, which, despite the onset of the era of global computerization, continues to play an important role in the implementation of office technological and management processes. A fax is a device capable of transmitting texts, images, and photographs over long distances by means of signal transmission over the telephone network. Until relatively recently, about four decades ago, such a device was a curiosity. Clients purchased for work those fax machines that had an affordable price and at least some design that could be combined with the interior of the office space. However, times are changing, and fax machines now perform a fairly large number of functions, so the load on them is greater. So they choose them now, guided by a large number of factors. nine0003
Choosing an office fax
Before buying a fax, you need to decide for which office and for what purpose it is purchased. This is important because faxes for office use will be different from faxes for home use.
The functional load on office equipment is greater than on «home» options. In addition, an office fax machine needs to be reliable and functional. So, we boldly divide faxes into monofunctional and multifunctional, based on their capabilities. If we talk about monofunctional faxes, then everything is simple. They perform only a basic set of functions. With their help, you can send and receive fax messages, perform simple manipulations with the telephone line. nine0003
The price range for single-function faxes is quite small. The most popular fax machine is the Panasonic KX-FT22RU, which attracts with its affordable price, high quality and reliable performance. Multifunctional faxes usually have a «talking» voice menu. They allow you to copy individual documents, send and receive fax messages, manage a telephone line. The best option is the Panasonic KX-FM90RU. The cost of a fax will directly depend on its size and the number of functions performed. In the office, it is convenient to have multifunctional faxes that allow you to do a lot of work on just one machine.

There are several factors to consider when choosing a fax machine. First of all, you should make sure that the printer function is implemented in the device you have chosen. After all, it is the printer that consumes the most materials. According to what technology the facsimile machine is based on, they can be divided into inkjet, laser, which will be printed on thermal paper, and on thermal film. Thermal paper is considered the most economical option, but printouts made using this technology are short-lived. Documents printed on thermal paper cannot be archived. Inkjet printers are not very convenient to use, as documents printed on them have a finite drying time. Another trouble with inkjet printers is the drying of the print head if at least one sheet has not been printed for several weeks. Laser is the best option, since their cartridge lasts for a long time, and the resulting quality is excellent. As you might guess, in the case of a laser printer, there is no problem with the printing mechanism drying out.
In other words, the pauses between printouts can be arbitrarily long. nine0003

If we talk about those fax machines that are popular, we should mention such brands of manufacturing companies as Panasonic, Canon, Brother. These companies produce models that can meet the requirements of different customers. It can be both simple devices and multifunctional ones.
The main thing is that the fax should serve for a long time and reliably, without causing trouble in work.
