WALMART has brought back the 90s cult classic Office Space in a bid to shake-up Black Friday and bring customers more bargains.

The retailer is reviving the 1999 comedy for a new set of ads - hoping to help Americans who may have a case of "the Mondays".

The move will see bargains pushed at the start of each week and will help draw out Black Friday for the whole of the holiday season.

Casey Schlaybaugh, Walmart’s vice president of brand marketing and strategy, said: “We know customers want to shop for deals earlier, and they want to shop for deals often."

She said the “Office Space” ads will surface each Monday in November, appearing on TV and ads in movie theaters.

And many of the sales and bargains will show up online — at the start of each week.
