Ted Cruz of Texas [released an ad](http://time.com/4219082/ted-cruz-ads-porn-star-marco-rubio-ted-cruz/?xid=homepage) in South Carolina on Friday attacking Hillary Clinton for her use of a personal email server while serving as Secretary of State. The new ad is a spoof of a classic scene from the 1999 comedy film Office Space, which features main characters viciously attacking a printer. In the ad, a Hillary Clinton look-a-like in a smart pantsuit and dark sunglasses joins two men in office attire attacking what appears to be a server. The ad was previewed on MSNBC’s _Morning Joe_ on Friday. > [](https://twitter.com/Morning%5FJoe/status/698122551382269952) “Damn it feels good to be a Clinton,” a voice-over artist sings in a cheeky tune to the melody of “Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” by the Geto Boys, which played in the original _Office Space_ scene. “A server full of secrets ain’t no thang.” Cruz has released a number of new attack ads while heading into the South Carolina primary, one of which was [pulled](http://time.com/4219082/ted-cruz-ads-porn-star-marco-rubio-ted-cruz/?xid=homepage) after an actress in the ad was revealed to have appeared in porn films. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4219372/ted-cruz-office-space-ad-hillary-clinton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4219372/ted-cruz-office-space-ad-hillary-clinton/"},"headline":"Ted Cruz Spoofs Office Space In New Clinton Attack Ad","datePublished":"2016-02-12T16:46:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:02:25.220Z","description":"\"Damn it feels good to be a Clinton\"","url":"https://time.com/4219372/ted-cruz-office-space-ad-hillary-clinton/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","ted cruz"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt586d8999c0e6f63d/69887d6ecf40a86a90c41f19/509650676.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt586d8999c0e6f63d/69887d6ecf40a86a90c41f19/509650676.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GOP Presidential Candidate Sen.
