My favorite line from the movie. I say it whenever my printer throws a hissy fit or if I get an error message online.

Rather ironic that a movie about working in an office building with computers should be tagged NSFW.
Yeah, that's not really irony. It's probably coincidence with an irony mask.
Oh no, we've become Fark.com
What is it about the film "Office Space" that makes it suitable to be played/listened to in the workplace? More suitable than other films, that is?
The answer is nothing aside from the title, which, coincidentally, is about working in an office. Hilarious flick too!
The element that is attempting to inject irony is the NSFW tag. Therefore, there should be something about the main subject that makes it inherently suitable for work.
If the film were called "Suitable for Work," then you'd have some irony cooking.
Irony gets false credit for serendipity, coincidence, tragedy, etc...probably more than any other literary device, especially since Alanis Morrisette's "Irony for Dummies" became a hit.
Remember when Steve Irwin was killed? People up and down the internet were calling his death ironic. Steve Irwin defied death in every segment of every show he hosted. I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did. No, an ironic Steve Irwin death would have been in an old age home.
The perfect definition of irony in two words: lifeguard drowns.
Irony has an inequality-of-expectations thing going on that's very difficult to come by naturally. That's what makes irony so special.
Sorry if I've come across as condescending. It's not my intent. This is just one of my pet peeves.
I understand irony perfectly well. In this case the irony comes from the video documenting events occurring in a typical workplace, while those events lead to its being dubbed NSFW.

The expected would be that a movie filmed about an office would follow office protocol, however that WOULD make a terrible movie. The contradiction is that the movie that is fimed to be inside of an office, and potentially being viewed by someone who works in an office AT sed office, will not be able to view it because it doesn't follow office protocol.
A movie about working in an office is bound to be NSFW (therefore this is an expected outcome). imo.
