About

"That Would Be Great" is an image macro series featuring the character Bill Lumbergh from the 1999 comedy film Office Space. The captions typically mimic the character's non-confrontational speech with various requests ending with the expression "That'd be great."

Origin

The film Office Space was released on February 19th, 1999, in which the protagonist Peter Gibbons (played by Ron Livingston) is repeatedly exploited by his boss Bill Lumbergh (played by Gary Cole), a stereotype of a corporate manager who focuses on pointless paperwork and asks employees to work over the weekend.



On September 7th, 2011, Redditor Mekrob submitted a "read this in my voice" image macro to the /r/pics[1] subreddit, which featured a screen capture of Lumbergh with the caption "Yeeeaah, if you could just, go ahead and read this in my voice, that'd be great" (shown below). Prior to being archived, the post received over 480 up votes and 25 comments.
