It's on at 1am on BBC2; so if you're a grown up person you can stay up and watch it, while those with curfews made need to set VCRs. Either way make sure you watch it.

It's a film by Mike Judge, famed for Beavis and Butthead, that's probably what an office drama comedy directed by Kevin Smith would turn out like. Some of the jokes are a bit lame, but it's still managed to build up a cult following. And cult is good, if not a little unwashed.

Basically a guy is disillusioned with his job at an office, and after a hypnosis mishap, he becomes chronically relaxed, with the consequence that he no longer cares about his job and so does as little work as possible. This is the best part of the film, mainly because it is probably the closest celluloid representation of what Goaty dos in his job, minus the random acts of lesbianism :-)

It's not up to Kevin Smith standards, but it's still good.

And Michael Bolton too

Michael Bolton: Yeah, well, at least you're name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There WAS nothing wrong with it. Until I was about 12 years old, and that no-talent-ass-clown BECAME famous and started winning Grammy's.
Samir: Why don't you just go by Mike, instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way! Why should I change it? He's the one who sucks.

Bill Lumbergh's sneer is another highlight... It beats Jack Nicholson's and Christian Slater's hands down.

That really is like what I do.
It's fantastic, just to watch the Middle Eastern guy go mental at the photocopier.
