    I don't know why I find this so damn funny, but I do!!

    I first saw this during the Super Bowl and could not stop laughing!! I guess the concept of an "Office Linebacker" appeals to me and should to anyone who has had to work with inconsiderate co-workers(and haven't we all?).

    Terry Tate

    When I saw this film, I had many active questions, for example why a man was attacked by a non-businessman and why the non-businessman was at the office. These questions were gradually solved during the film. I think that the audience enjoys the film to the last because they want to know the answer to these questions.

    In addition, I think the reason the audience enjoys the film is that the film is close to their life. They can imagine the working condition in the film easily and visualize if there is a non-businessman like Terry Tate in their office. The familiar situation is easy to imagine and so the audience enjoys it.

    When it's game time, it's pain time, baby....wooooooooooo!!

    These are by far some of the best ads EVER!!! They are a smart juxtaposition of office politics and the American sports mentality. Not to mention subtle pop culture references like "How many times to have to tell you to put a cover sheet on your TPS reports, GARY?!!" The fact that the name of the company is Felcher and Sons is genius in and of itself. Mr. Felcher's business cliches like "thinking outside the box" and "synergy", mixed with Terry's trash-talking after every hit, elevate this commercial to greatness.

    Oh, and I love the fact that in the new short, T.T. VS. H.R. the firm the Human Resource woman works for is called "Sanchez and Steamer"!!!

    A very large gap between what he does and what he is like

    This movie is about a man, Terry Tate, who is an Americanfootball player. He patrols his office, and he warns someone not to break the rules of his company through tackles and a big voice. This mo,vie is a comedy, but it tells us the importance of complying with rules. For example, the football player tackles a man who tries to bring a dozen pens to his home, and the player scolds the man and warns him in a big voice. The scene that the American football player tries to return from the injury by an accident is very funny. He feels the tackles to someone who breaks the rules are his mission. It is also funny that there is a very large gap between what he does and the seriousness and enthusiasm of it. I feel another gap from him. When he does a presentation to his colleagues, I can feel he is intelligent, cool, and passive. The figure highlights what he tackles for the co-workers with eagerness. First, I am surprised because of his severe tackle, so I think it is a violence movie, but this movie fell short of my expectations. I like this movie since it tells us the importance of observing rules in a fun way.
