Comedy Central’s Corporate is sneakily audacious

Vox

Part of what makes Corporate so audacious are the jokes about suicide, says Todd VanDerWerff. “There are quite a few jokes about suicide in Corporate (of which I’ve only seen four episodes but have had to restrain myself from watching more), but they’re tossed off with such blissful, wistful optimism that it becomes clear the show’s characters can only find amusement in the blackest of black humor,” he says. “That’s a hallmark of the show’s writing, which is grimly purposeful in how it makes sure every joke serves the show’s larger stories and themes about the existential queasiness of working for a corporation like Hampton DeVille.” ALSO: Corporate makes your biggest office pet peeves more brutally realistic than Office Space.
