An unoriginal phrase/cliche following a conventional way of thinking used to encourage original thought and unconventional thinking, asking you do challenge the paradigm in a phrase that doesn't challenge the paradigm. Saying "Think Outside of the Box" is "Thinking Inside of the Box". This is similar in this aspect to the phrase "avoid cliches like the plague", warning against using cliches through the use of a cliche.
Boss: THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, PEOPLE!
Employee: (quietly) Okay, since you're obviously not...
Jack: THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!1
Ellen: Yeah, that's good advice. Maybe you should take it.

A wittier version of the non-innovative cliché "think outside of the box". This sarcastic phrase should not be confused with other idioms such as "use your intuition", "go with your gut", or "process sensory data with your spinal grey matter".
Boss: If you can't think outside the box you'll be downsized.
Employee: Will I get your job if I think outside the brain?
