Ever seen the movie Office Space? The commercial, including the song, is a spoof of that movie.

A presidential candidate approved that ad? That’s in poor taste.
The ad is a play on the movie ‘Office Space’, which is a cult classic that I loved. My taste in movies has changed over time, so I’m not sure I can vouch for it anymore, but I’d love to see it again…if the kids weren’t home.

Office space is pretty funny if you understand that its hyperbolic for what happens in office jobs, i.e. busy work to accomplish very little.
I’d say it’s styled for 30-somethings who ARE familiar with the movie Office Space and would think the comparison is pretty funny. I don’t think it’s necessarily in good taste, but if you’ve seen and like the movie, you probably think it’s funny and relevant.
Sure said “damn” a lot to be paid for by a Christian. I bet he won’t let his children hear his own ad. ?
That crossed my mind, too.

Styled for the younger generation, but spoofs a movie that they wouldn’t know.

Heck, I don’t know it. It’s pretty obnoxious.
