So basically, it’s a meme originating from Star Trek wherein a species communicates exclusively through idioms and descriptions of events, making it impossible to translate without an understanding of their overall culture and history. Shaka When the Walls Fell probably means failure, it can be translated as “wow” in best case or “this is devastating” in the worst case.
If my Ink Tank Printer suddenly posted SHAKA WHEN THE WALLS FELL then I would be taking a few steps back and grabbing some towels.
I always thought this was a funny scene, because if you know what the parts of a printer are called, it’s obvious what “PC Load Letter” means. So Michael is obviously just bad at his job.
Load letter sized paper into the paper cassette, in case you didn’t know.
Now I’m picturing the movie opening up with a title card that says “Paris” for the Italian dubbed version. Every international version says it takes place somewhere else
Wait, so printers from the rest of the word wouldn’t work properly in America with American paper? (Assuming they don’t have an adjustable paper tray or something)
