corporate satire

Business world lampooning

Corporate satire is humor that mocks business culture—its jargon, bureaucracy, power dynamics, and absurdities.

The genre targets everything from meaningless mission statements to soul-crushing office politics: The show is a corporate satire about middle managers desperately clinging to relevance.

Works like *Office Space* and *The Office* exemplify the form, finding comedy in synergy-speak, performance reviews, and cubicle life.
