Terry Tate, Office Linebacker

This is the funniest short ever. It's got everything...Yelling,physical comedy,interoffice politics,shouting,bone crunching hits,screaming,profanity.

A masterpiece. Nuff said.

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.

When I read the logline of this film, I was so surprised and attracted by the idea. An American footballer Terry keeps his office in order. He does not forgive employees who do not obey the rule at their company, and exercises strict control over such employees. He tackles them just like an American football game in the office! The employees are afraid of his punishment, so they become serious, and the company's performance is steadily improving! He is an office linebacker! However, he is not just a person who punishes employees. He also works as an employee. He presents about his tasks, and celebrates his colleagues' birthdays like others do.

This work has a strong impression, and throws it out in only a few minutes. That is the fascination of short films. We are overwhelmed by its unique idea, and the story goes at a tremendous speed. We will be thunderstruck like Terry tackles us when we watch it. It is just an awesome film.

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?).

Procrastination is not permitted when its punishment is being knocked down by a very intimidating and big guy who is going to jump on you while shouting "Pain is coming!" It made me laugh how this guy was screaming and running from one place to another while chasing employees who were breaking the working rules or not being efficient enough. It resulted being as funny as effective, since everyone in the office is going to think about it twice before going against the boss' will. The attitude of Terry Tate, his aggressiveness and the way he talks made a really funny contrast with what we are used to see in an office and how different is the world of sport and business when it comes to disciplinate, this resulting very comic. I recommend this film to everyone having a bad day because I am sure it will at least make you smile!
