Teamwork Video: Red Swingline Stapler
Ahh, the Swingline Red Stapler. Sleek nad elegant. Actually, it's one of Swinline's "classic" looking models (with a reto look to it).

In the movie "Office Space," there is a red Swingline stapler that keeps appearing. In a side story in the movie, an obnoxious boss steals it from a poor quiet employee, and as a result the employee tries to get it back. This all culminates to a funny ending to the movie.

In this episode of Sealab, the stapler is used as a running gag throughout the episode, constantly being stabbed into someone's eye. The "teamwork video," which makes little sense, even sort of parodies the movie "Office Space" with 2 hapless coworkers chatting, and one of them sabbing him in the eye for borrowing it without asking.

An interesting fact, Swingline never made a red stapler like the one shown in the movie "Office Space," it was in fact painted red by the props crew to make it stand out more. The movie, being an icon to all cubicle-dwelling workers, became a big cult hit. As a result, Swingline started getting tons and tons of phonecalls asking if they could sell or supply them. Some online stores even started painting them red themselves and selling them on the 'net. Finally, Swingline saw the light and released an official "Red Swingline Stapler."
