(User Submitted) – Most people love a good job-departure story, and while the news provided at least two of those this week (here and here, even if the eraser board girl was a hoax), TV has a history of great quitting/firing moments. Cinemablend pulls together five favorites; click here to see all the videos.

  • 30 Rock: Kenneth tells everyone off in his own polite way.
  • Seinfeld: George chews out his boss, though he tries to ignore the whole thing by showing up to work the next day.
  • Entourage: Ari has his Jerry McGuire moment.
  • The Simpsons: Homer tells off his Mr. Burns in his own silly, pointless way.
  • The Office: Toby has no choice but to quit after an awkward grope of Pam's knee.

There's only one way. It was immortalized in "Take this job and Shove it!"

My favorite happened in the movie, "Deep Blue Sea." When most of your co-workers have been eaten by sharks & there is no pension plan, it's time to hit the road.

Over 40 years ago I worked in a boring job in an insurance company on the ninth floor of an 18 story office building with a classy restaurant on the top floor which I'd only dreamed of entering. One hot summer afternoon, I longed for freedom and after killing a while walking the hot streets instead of eating (I had little money then) I decided to take the elevator to the top floor, pay whatever reasonable bill, take the elevator back down to the street and never return to that job again. One of the best days of my life.
