: While I'm not saying Mike couldn't have thrown in some references, Office Space is older than Clerks (methinks, anyway.). You see, Office Space first showed up in animated form on SNL. Back before Beavis and Butthead. Alot of the scenes from the movie are just taken straight from the cartoons ("I'm going to burn the building down," sticks out most prominently).

That's just like a VERY basic outline of the movie. The movie is more like a spin-off of that squiggle vision cartoon. Milton is just a background character in the movie instead of the star. Kinda like the cartoon is back story.
Yeah, put 37 is just the tip o' the iceberg. There were other similarities, but that was is most obvious to an Askew fan
