But that is a nearly impossible thing to pull off. I believe everything scratch bird said about Corporate being Better Off Ted without the heart and humor. Ed, Edd n Eddy and Better Off Ted usually know how to have this comedy of characters being jerks to each other when they have more varied humor and character personalities. Corporate is really more like if Stressed Eric was live-action with a creepier, more serious tone because it wanted to make Better Off Ted more grim, hopeless, bleak and cruel so it was a "comedy" in name only. 95% of all the Corporate characters are two-dimensional exaggerated caricatures acting like evil killer robot wannabes, because they are just like Maria, Paul Power, Liz Feeble and Ray Perfect's family in the sense that their sole purpose in every episode's story is to make Matt miserable for doing the right thing. The few good characters are clinically depressed suicidal losers who never win because they are just a tool in their torture machine bosses' cosmic design to destroy humanity, and their attempts to do good and help each other always fail in the end. Stressed Eric and Corporate are both the most sadist show comedies I have ever seen, which you should only watch if you want something to hate or learn everything you should NOT do in a dark comedy. If you want to know how to do that style of humor any better, Phineas and Ferb is the antithesis to Stressed Eric's predictable "failure is the only option" sort of comedy where we should root against Candace for wanting to bust the boys and her attempts to bust them are usually interesting to see, and Seasons 3 and 4 of The Good Place are the antithesis to Corporate which taught me why doing good things to fix a messed-up system in our world is not pointless, and potentially effective things we can say to reason with bad people that will help them question how they have been doing things before. On a very related note, Phineas and Ferb taught me that a controlling platypus is a metaphor for corporations, government, teachers, and other unfair-treating authorities that are keeping you down.
