Does Better Off Ted remind you of Brazil?

[Guy Gardener]

Brazil the Movie you smartass.

Specifically the Office scenes in Brazil of course, right down tot he theme music.

I wonder if it was intentional?

 

[Kryton]

Not really....

 

[Mr Light]

Brazil is one of my all time favorite movies. I believe the early ads for the series used the Brazil movie theme song so I'm sure its intentional. If only there were air ducts everywhere...

 

[Kryton]

Yeah, but Brazil was all about government excess. This is a private corporation. With non-typewriter-based computers.

Really not seeing it.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Not the overall theme or plot Kryton, just the style of the office scenes in Brazil. Well at least what it looked like when the Boss Bloke stuck his head out of the door and everyone became super productive and that beehive music started until he closed the door and they all turned into slackers again...

Truly we live in a sad world with so few ducts Mr Light.

It reminds me of a charmless copy of Andy Richter Controls the Universe.

 

[Mr Light]

I believe it's by the same creators as Andy Controls the Universe.

Yeah I did have an odd thought, and I kept thinking I'd hear Ted tell...whatsername who stole the creamers... "We're all in this together."
