Educadorian born and American raised animator Mike Judge, best known as the creator of MTV's wildly popular 90's show "Beavis and Butthead," is easily one of the most talented and successful animators in American popular culture history.

Judge, also a writer, actor, voice actor, animator and producer, among other things, created an animated short of "Office Space" in 2000 that looks and feels alot like a spin-off of "Beavis and Butthead"; if nothing else, Judge's signature style is clearly evident in this short film.

Ultimately, the short inspired Judge to write and direct the cult classic, full-featured film "Office Space" - a movie that unearths the daily drudgery's of the office - paper work and forms, prick bosses who eog-trip off others' vulnerabilities, malfunctioning printers and copy machines, stale coffee and disgruntled employees who are literally driven to crime.


Update: Some how, someone just took the animated short off of YouTube a few minutes ago. Was it because of this post? I am looking for another version of the original short, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out Judge's animated short for "Inbred Jed" - awesome!






Milton gets his ultimate revenge in the end, not just for himself, but for millions of other office workers who can relate.

The animated short here, clearly similar to Bevis and Butthead, shows Milton talking about his treasured stapler and what will happen if it is taken away from him again.

Nowadays, office jokes around the country about "Milton" usually always refer to the movie "Office Space". Judge is currently working on his indie film "Higher Than Hell."
