The 'Yeah if you could' meme features the character Bill Lumbergh, the soul-crushing boss from the 1999 cult classic film Office Space, portrayed by actor Gary Cole. Wearing his signature suspenders and holding a coffee mug, Lumbergh uses a monotone, passive-aggressive tone to make unreasonable requests of his employees. The meme template typically uses the phrase 'Yeah, if you could just go ahead and... that'd be great' to mock corporate bureaucracy and annoying workplace demands. It first gained significant traction on image boards like Reddit and 4chan in the early 2010s, eventually becoming the universal internet symbol for bosses who lack self-awareness and the frustrations of the modern 9-to-5 lifestyle.
