In a new parody produced by Funny or Die, singer Michael Bolton stars as the Michael Bolton character in the hit movie _Office Space_ (1999), a comedy about cubicle jockeys who hate their mundane jobs and decide to rebel against their boss.
The Michael Bolton in the film is sick of being confused with the Grammy Award-winning artist. Below are a couple of scenes from the film that get spoofed in the video. In the spoof, fans will also see the singer rap in a car and mimic the famous scene in which the disgruntled employees take their frustrations out on a printer.
