The Great Office War is an online video produced by Runaway Box and originally uploaded on YouTube on June 16, 2008.[1] As of August 2014, the video has been viewed over 10,150,000 times. The short was written and directed by Woody Tondorf, originally made as part of HBO's new media initiative, HBO Labs.

In 2009, Funny or Die, in cooperation with Hasbro, produced an official series of comedy sketches titled Nerf on the Job. While not related to this video, the sketches use the same premise of using Nerf blasters in an office environment.[2]

Plot

It is 4:30 p.m. at a busy office. Irritated by the sound of a ball pen being clicked on and off, a Sales department worker grabs his Nerf blaster and shoots at the I.T. department worker holding the pen. Another I.T. worker "guns down" a Sales worker on the other side in retaliation. This results in both I.T. (blue) and Sales (red) departments rushing to their lockers and arming themselves with Nerf blasters to battle each other. For the next 30 minutes, both sides exchange dart fire with each other until every office worker is "killed". Then, when the clock strikes 5:00 p.m., everyone gets up and greets each other goodbye before calling it a day, leaving the janitor with an office littered with foam darts.
