Chicago Rats

2014 · 1 season

A quick burst of deadpan absurdity, like watching awkward coworkers commit to a bit far past the point of sense.

Overview: Tim Robinson and Michael Patrick O'Brien create and star in this miniseries. Each episode has a few minutes of a different comedy sketch about an office prank, directing porn, and changing rooms.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and cynical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Work, identity, obsession
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
