Africa Salaryman

2019 · 1 season

A breezy, deadpan office comedy where talking animals grind through corporate drudgery, mixing silly gags with a quietly bleak view of working life.

Overview: The comedy follows a lion, toucan, and lizard as they live the lives of office workers in a capitalist society in Japan, while also dealing with their unique situations as animals living beyond the savanna and the food chain.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, identity, isolation, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
