What is the That Would Be Great meme?
That Would Be Great shows Gary Cole as Bill Lumbergh in Office Space: thick glasses, red suspenders, patterned tie and a coffee mug in hand, standing in a grey cubicle farm with a mild, smug expression. Lumbergh is the boss who asks for unreasonable things in the most passive-aggressive tone possible, dragging out his sentences with "yeahhh" and "mmkay". The meme puts annoying requests in his mouth, the kind that sound polite but ruin your weekend.
Origin: Office Space is a 1999 comedy directed by Mike Judge. Lumbergh repeatedly asks Peter Gibbons to come in on Saturday and fill out TPS reports, always ending with "that would be great".
Also known as: That'd Be Great, Bill Lumbergh, Office Space Boss.
How to use the That Would Be Great meme
The top box opens the request in Lumbergh's drawl, usually starting with "yeah" or "if you could just". The bottom box finishes it with "that would be great" or "that'd be great".
The humour depends on the request being unreasonable but delivered casually: weekend work, last-minute changes, extra tasks on top of extra tasks. It also works for non-office bossiness, like a roommate, a client or an app asking for permissions. Stretching out "yeahhh" helps readers hear the voice.
