workplace comedy
Job-setting humor show
A workplace comedy is a television show or film set primarily in a professional environment, using the dynamics of coworkers, bosses, and office culture as its comedic engine.
The genre exploits the forced proximity of people who wouldn't otherwise spend time together: The Office, Parks and Recreation, Superstore.
The setting can be any workplace—hospitals, police stations, restaurants—though offices remain the template.
