Bill Lumbergh is gonna need you to go ahead and watch this video

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Possibly the single greatest comic invention of our young century, and definitely the most annoying, Bill Lumbergh from the 1999 fave Office Space is back in a series of web advertisements for the chat service HipChat.

      While I'm sure that HipChat is just great—whatever it is—the important thing here is getting this archetypal middle-management asshole and his ubiquitous coffee cup back into our lives, m'kay?

      Appearing on WTF with Marc Maron earlier in the month, Office Space writer-director Mike Judge recalled that actor Gary Cole was so deep into Lumbergh that nobody on set was really sure if he got the joke. It was only when Judge suggested that he include the coffee cup in a dream sequence that Cole finally cracked a smile.
