Haiku Tunnel - A funnier office movie than Office Space

ShamusChad · 12-09-2002, 06:35 PM

I never heard of this movie before but my sister picked it out of the bunch. I figured, "eh what the hell", why not play it? So we did and I was surprised at how funny it actually was.

Unlike office space this movie actually takes place in an office and deals with work on a more realistic basis. It also has more memorable points in the movie than Office Space.

The main character is funnier, the supporting cast has more personality and the plot is more rediculous and funny. All in all, this movie was about 5X better than Office Space (which was a useless piece of crap).

Do you have some sort of death wish?

ShamusChad · 12-09-2002, 07:32 PM

What are you going to do? Read me Office Space's script until I die of boredom?

phatboy · 12-09-2002, 11:42 PM

Office Space is the fucking shit.
Some of the funniest lines i've heard are from that movie. The steroetypical geek, Michael Bolton, who likes Rap Music. Omg I couldn't stop laughing when he rolled up his window and turned the music down when the window washer guy walked past.

Call me uncultured but i've never seen Office Space..

Plot summary of 'Haiku Tunnel' for those of you lucky enough not to have seen it:

Stunningly annoying fat ugly guy makes a movie abouit himself, in which he stars! It's about him temping at a law firm. It's about 1/10000000000000000th as funny as Office Space. Has some amusing lines but the main character is just a painfully bad actor and it has a really annoying voice over/cut scene monologue throughout the whole movie. Sucked.

I'd read you the script until you acquired some comical taste but I fear that would never happen..

I saw part of office space on tv one time, it was retarded.

mega-crap

ShamusChad · 12-12-2002, 10:02 PM

That's funny because only 1/1000000% of Office Space was actual jokes... the rest was just stupid crap.

For those who haven't seen it, there are 3 funny jokes and even though I haven't checked, they're probably all listed on Office Space fan sites.. read the jokes, leave the movie in the rental place.

Never said the movie was great, just better than Office Space.

If Office Space was as you say "a useless piece of crap", why did you bother comparing it to your beloved movie in the first place? Usually when you think something is good, you'll compare it to something you think is also good but not quite as good as your most recently enjoyed film.

It's so hard to convince people their opinion is wrong

Shamuschad, once you grow up, stop working at McDonald's, move out of mommy and daddy's house, and get some real life work experience you'll be able to understand why Office Space is so very very funny.

I know it hurts to use that gray matter in your head, so I'll try to make this short. A joke doesn't always have to be told. There's this thing called situational humor, which is what a joke that's told is trying to emulate. In Office Space there's just one hilarious situation after another. I'm sorry you're not mature enough to understand it, but someday you will.

In general, the only people that find Office Space funny as hell are people that work for big companies. I found it hilarious, a friend that frames houses for a living was bored and didn't laugh hardly at all.

Fry cooks and factory workers don't understand it, this isn't meant as a dig at ShamusChad.

Situational humor.... I see.. kina of like you being an overweight korean MAN named tony and playing a female wood elf druid to get guys in an online game?

I think i'm starting to get this.
