* BizarroUniverse: Stockheed Martin's executives from "The Powerpoint of Doom" are GenderBender versions of Kate and John, leading seemingly parallel lives at Hampton Deville's competitor.
* BottleEpisode: "The Long Meeting" takes place entirely in the conference room, over the span of several hours.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Walter Sabo, the company's top litigator... who comes into work ''shirtless'' on Casual Friday.
* ButtMonkey: Matt, the most optimistic and naive character on the show, is frequently abused by the other characters for not having given into the bleak outlook the rest of the show presents.
* ChristmasEpisode: The season 1 finale "Remember Day" takes place on the titular holiday... September 11th. Hampton Deville has manipulated the media to turn the tragedy into a Christmas-esque holiday that they can profit from.
* ComedicSociopathy: The show's trademark. Often delivered by Jake.

* EvilInc: Hampton Deville. "The Powerpoint of Doom" opens with Christian excitedly declaring that he's heard the country is going to war, because the company will have a chance to secure a contract with the military and profit off the destruction.
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Hampton Deville's headquarters is a tall black skyscraper looming over a city.
* ExtremeDoormat: Matt is seemingly incapable of asserting himself when it counts. "Corporate Retreat" sees him try to grow a spine, but [[spoiler: instead he ends up getting sexually assaulted by the retreat organizers.]]

'''Jake''': Well, you're definitely weak. I don't know if you're a person.
''Corporate'' is a WorkCom created by Pat Bishop, Matt Ingebretson, and Jake Weisman. It premiered on Creator/ComedyCentral in 2018 and is currently in its second season.
The show focuses on Matt and Jake, two Junior Executives in Training, at an EvilInc MegaCorp known as Hampton Deville. The show is known for its BlackComedy and ComedicSociopathy, exploring depressingly dark topics with a detatched mundanity as it portrays the struggle to survive in a depressing office job.
----
!!''Corporate'' contains examples of:
* TheBigBoard: The conference room's whiteboard is used in "The Long Meeting" to list 'ideas that could help the company,' despite no one having further instructions. The ensuing 'brainstorm hole' leads to things like 'racism' and 'this is a nightmare' being listed on the board.
* BizarroUniverse: Stockheed Martin's executives from "The Powerpoint of Doom" are GenderBender versions of Kate and John, leading seemingly parallel lives at Hampton Deville's competitor.
* BottleEpisode: "The Long Meeting" takes place entirely in the conference room, over the span of several hours.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Walter Sabo, the company's top litigator... who comes into work ''shirtless'' on Casual Friday.
* ButtMonkey: Matt, the most optimistic and naive character on the show, is frequently abused by the other characters for not having given into the bleak outlook the rest of the show presents.
* ChristmasEpisode: The season 1 finale "Remember Day" takes place on the titular holiday... September 11th. Hampton Deville has manipulated the media to turn the tragedy into a Christmas-esque holiday that they can profit from.
* ComedicSociopathy: The show's trademark. Often delivered by Jake.
->Look. They're having a good time. They're young and dumb, so they still think this is what fun is. They have no idea they're actually having a terrible time. It's honestly tragic.

* ContinuityNod: The Obelisk appears in several episodes after its introduction, and ''Society Tomorrow'' pops up every now and again as well.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Most of the characters on the show fit this trope, but most notably the CEO Christian Deville as well as John and Kate.
* CrapsackWorld: The world at large is shown to be gullible and helpless as corporations like Hampton Deville take advantage of them. The internal culture of the company is just as bad, taking pride in literally declaring itself as a confrontational work environment.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jake never misses an opportunity to insult someone.
->Matt, there's so many things I never got the chance to say to you, but they're pretty mean, so I won't.
