At first glance, it looks like a dumb, easy comedy, but when you watch it, it's actually kind of genius. The whole thing takes place in just one day– at a typical chain restaurant one finds usually on the fringe of a mall or shopping center. Anyone who has ever waited tables or at least worked in such a place can relate to it. It follows multiple haphazard plot lines, just as one often does find multiple themes recurring among certain people throughout a typical work day. There are laugh-out-loud moments, but there are also ones that really make you think about what it means to work in the same low-pay job for long periods of time, and whether or not it's really worth it to go finish that college education.

Can easily fit in the list.

Sure it doesn't take place in a traditional office but it is still a workplace dark comedy.

Huducker Proxy is overrated (though I love the Coen Bros). Glad to see His Girl Friday and Swimming with Sharks.

It was (barely). And 2) To say Extract is actually better than Office Space because I knew the article was going to compare the two.
