Mike Judge, who made his big hit with MTV's "Beavis & Butthead", produced an animated short film of "Office Space" years before it was even consider for a feature length movie.

The film has since its 1999 release grown into a cult classic of the drudgeries of daily office work and bosses who do little else then ego-trip off the vulnerabilities of others.

But Milton does get his ultimate revenge. The animated short here, clearly similar to Bevis and Butthead, shows Milton talking out 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" which has joined the likes of other cult classics like "Animal House" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

Too bad Milton doesn't have his own MySpace page. Mike Judge does though, and just in time to promote his new indie film "Higher Than Hell."
