The Office Space meme, specifically featuring the character Bill Lumbergh played by Gary Cole, originates from the 1999 cult classic film directed by Mike Judge. It captures the essence of corporate bureaucracy and the soul-crushing nature of micromanagement. The template usually depicts Lumbergh holding a coffee mug while delivering a politely worded but soul-sucking request to an employee. Since its rise in the early 2010s, the 'That'd be great' format has become the universal symbol for passive-aggressive requests and workplace frustration. It is widely used to mock unreasonable expectations in professional environments or to jokingly ask for favors in a condescendingly calm tone.
