Phantom of the Office

2008–2013 · 1 season

A deadpan office comedy sketch stretched into a series, all awkward silences and absurd workplace loitering played completely straight.

Overview: The Phantom (Streeter Seidell) isn't here to make friends. He isn't here to work or haunt, either. Honestly, we think he's a freelance corporate loiterer.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, identity, isolation, media
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
