Holy crap, if someone can find Ron Livingston, convince Dave Herman and pay Jennifer Anniston enough, there’s no reason a modern day sequel can’t be made. Nobody looks much older. The Michael Bolton gag was awesome, as Herman told Walmart no like he does to everyone I assume.

When Office Space blew up on DVD, Mike Judge apparently turned down making a sequel...

it's never too late though.

It would've been a better commercial if after the real Michael Bolton sings at the end, we get this...

The commercial before the video had "Kevin" from The Office, so I thought OP and the site at the link were both on crack.

And I forgot to mention in the OP, get Mike Judge to actually do it first and foremost. Maybe with Beavis and Butthead going again and rumors of King of the Hill returning, maybe he’ll dig up all his successful projects from the grave. Stephen Root only does things for Judge and the Coen Brothers so I guess that’s why Milton wasn’t in it. Missed opportunity to have him actually shopping in Walmart and bothering everyone looking for the stapler to buy.

This thread opened the door to finding out my wife has never seen office space.

Guess what we’re watching tonight

Same, and I felt extremely dumb for never having realized that he was played by Gary Cole.

I was sitting there thinking “this is funny, wonder why the recast him with the dude from Pineapple Express? Maybe the original guy died. Does actually look a lot like Bill Lumbergh though. [1…2…3] Wait…”

I know actors and know faces. Shocked that I never put that together, the glasses and long hair must have thrown me off.

Michael Bolton is good fun for poking fun at himself

Thanks for sharing. Should I look for them on TV or YouTube?

Would have been better if Lawrence had said something like, "I can't wait for this sale so I can buy two TV's at the same time", or something like that.

One of my best friends is the creator of these ads.

Ron Livingston and the guy who played Milton weren’t interested

Can’t recall if there was a story on the other Michael Bolton

Both. Saw one during the Saints game last night.

Dave Herman just voice acts full time now I believe. He didn't act much back in the day anyway. I think he lives in Texas and records from there. I know he was pretty active on Bob’s Burgers.
