It was used as a code in ABC's Defying Gravity. The acronym was used in Season 1 Episode 4 between Maddux (Ron Livingston) and Ajay( Zahf Paroo) to try and solve a problem with the space ship. It also helped build some more of the history between the two characters as we contently see flash backs to training before the mission to Mars. It might also be used as a help tact when you don't know the facts about something and you know your friend does. Maddux: "Do you have any idea what's wrong?"
Ajay: "It looks like a H21K sequence to me." You: "The reason why the sky is blue is because of the H21K Sequence." Friend: "By that you mean the molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun." You: "Correct." |

Arguably the best movie ever made. Written and directed by the creator of Beavis and Butthead - Mike Judge. The main character, Peter Gibbons, played by Ron Livingston, hates his repetitive, monotonous job working in Initech with his buddies Samir Naheenanajad and Michael Bolton. Fed up with his job, Peter decides to see an occpational hypnotherapist who helps him to relax by hypnotising him into temporarily not caring, however he dies before taking the hypnosis off of Peter, leaving him in a relaxed, care-free state of mind which makes for a hilarious movie.
The funniest characters in the movie are definitely Initech's software Engineers Samir and Michael, both of which who also dislike their jobs, and plan to program a virus to rip Initech off for thousands of dollars. Samir dislikes the workers for being unable to pronounce his last name, and Michael dislikes them for constantly referring to the Singer Michael Bolton, whom he hates but pretends to like in order to fit in with them and make them happy. If you have not seen the movie, I Highly Recommend it. Samir: "I do not understand why no one in this country can pronounce my last name, its not that difficult.. NA-HEE-NANA-JAD, Naheenanajad"
Michael: "Yeah well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton!" Samir: "You know, there is nothing wrong with that name." Michael: "There WAS nothing wrong with it.. until I was about 12 years old, and that No Talent Ass Clown started becoming famous and winning Grammy's." Samir: "Why don't you just go by Mike, Instead of Michael" Michael: "Screw that, why should i change, he's the one who Sucks!" {Enter Peter}: "Hey guys, wanna go to Chachki's, get some coffee? I gotta get outta here, I think I'm gonna lose it" Co-Worker: "Uh OH! Sounds like someone's got a case of the MONDAYS :-( " |

In the 1999 movie Office Space, Peter (Ron Livingston) believes that his girlfriend Joanna (Jennifer Anniston) has had sex with his boss, Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). Once this information becomes known, he no longer wants anything to do with Joanna and is tormented by the thought of his girlfriend having sex with Lumbergh.
also, Friend A: "That girl is such a Lumbergh!" Friend B: "Yeah, this guy I know had sex with her. I can't even look him in the eye anymore." Friend A: "Yeaaahhhhh...*sips imaginary coffee cup*" |
