Honestly I thought the commercial was pretty lame but it's certainly better than any Bing commercial I've ever seen xD

I think iNcontrol was great though, for all we know he'll get a starring role in Inception 2.

Yea same, have no clue what the joke/punchline is about

You should watch the movie Office Space. The joke is straight out of that movie.

The stuff about "TPS reports" is a direct parody of the exact joke from Office Space.


Felt more like The Office to me. Would also make more sense because it's much more relatable to for most. Office Space is from 1999. The Office has been airing for 7 seasons in the US alone.
Also what someone said earlier. That guy does look exactly like BJ.Novak.
The Intro, with the wobbly camera, taking a "scenic" shot of the office. It's like the parking space.
And there is no actual punchline, it's like "dry" humor. Which is exactly what would be the one typical The Office thing. Edit: Also the bland phone rings in the otherwise silent background, looking into the camera with a reaction expressing.
I liked it, hope there's follow ups. Says episode 1 in the title :O

It may feel like the office to yoou, but its actually from office space, thats how office space starts out with bill lumburgh asking peter gibbons about the TPS reports, ive never even heard a mention of TPS reports in the office and ive watched every episode multiple times.

Here is the scene fromm office space :



This scene has been edited a bit to make it a wow commercial but its still mostly the original footage, i couldnt find a completely original one

I really hope they include IdrA in one of their future commercials. It should be funny .

mmm... kinda boring imo. Would have preferred it to be more humorous ala Thai-style since you got InControl to act in it.

Yes it's referring to Office Space and it's referring to the ESPN commercials, but it's also referring to The Office. The way the scene started off filming through the blinds is VERY The Office. In fact, the ESPN commercials themselves refer to The Office.

There was a lot of potential there but it just fell flat. Incontrol is a good actor though, hope to see some better written stuff in the future.

Except the ESPN commercials started first, even before the British Office...

It's like ESPN commercials... but kinda completely loses what made those funny in the first place because incontrol DOES sit behind a computer all day, unlike professional athletes.

It's not that funny, but cool none the less i guess. Maybe I'm an idiot but i think alot of people wont understand what diamonds / diamond cuts have to do with anything.
