The opening scenes at work make me think that it inspired mike judge with his absurdly funny take on being an office drone.

Great scene w/Joe going to work. And I can still hear the Tennessee Ernie Ford song:

“… You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store…”

I could not agree more

I fricking love this movie.

The incredibly intense luggage salesman cracks me up

Me too.

It's not your formulaic 80's comedy. Even though it's two stars are icons of the genre.

Have you noticed that Joe's boss is saying the EXACT same lines in every scene where he's arguing on the phone?

quote:

Mr. Waturi: But can he do the job. I know he can get the job but can he DO the job? I'm NOT arguing that with you. I'm not arguing that with YOU. I'm not ARGUING that with you. I'm not ARGUING that with you Harry! Harry... Harry... Yeah Harry... but can he DO the job. I know he can GET the job but can he do the job?


I also love Angelica's response to things:
quote:

Angelica: So, what did you do before you signed on with Daddy?
Joe Banks: I was an advertising librarian for a medical supply company.
Angelica: Oh, I have no response to that.


I use that one on occasion, hoping someone will catch it.

No one ever does.
