Long Haired Businessmen

Long Haired Businessmen is a comedy series produced by Funny or Die, acquired by Amazon Prime in 2018. The show follows Seth (George Kareman), Kyle (Pat O’Brien), and Kevin (Ben Wietmarschen), "team leaders" at an unnamed corporation, conducting unknown business. Through them, we are exposed to the inane world of corporate ineptitude and business speak, which is the show's central theme. In keeping with the absurd dynamic, the bouffant hairpieces are neither explained, nor even acknowledged. According to Thrillist's Dave Infante, this visual gag reflects the tenor of the show itself – "divorced from distinguishing context and unburdened by likable characters," Long Haired Businessmen "is able to ruthlessly lampoon the infuriating and intangible purposelessness and hypocrisy of corporate culture". Its characters speak in non-stop buzzwords and cliches, and while the dialogue occasionally touches on their personal lives, this mostly serves to underline an absence of self-awareness, and detachment from the world at large.
"Long Haired Businessmen" has featured cameos by Will Ferrell, Will Forte, J.K. Simmons, and J Mascis.
