Every comedy fan knows that if Tim Robinson’s name is attached to something, it’s going to be fantastic.
And that’s definitely going to be the case with his new HBO comedy series, The Chair Company.
Robinson is most well-known for his sketch show, I Think You Should Leave, which features numerous iconic quotes and scenes that have taken the internet by storm.
He has quickly developed a strong and dedicated following of fans, even from his early days of writing and performing on Saturday Night Live.
With The Chair Company, Robinson seems to be moving slightly away from his sketch roots, but he still captures his trademark comedic style.
Without further ado, let’s dive into everything that’s exciting about this upcoming series!
The Chair Company’s Premise is Hilarious
Robinson’s style of comedy is a unique brand of absurdity grounded in reality, and The Chair Company is a perfect example of that.
The show follows William Trosper, a man who experiences an embarrassing incident at work and spirals into investigating a grand conspiracy at his workplace.
From the trailer, it appears that The Chair Company highlights the mundane aspects of working in an office and family life, while also introducing some unexpected and insane scenarios, such as breaking into abandoned buildings to find evidence.
The premise of an ordinary employee spiraling into a life of chaos already sounds incredibly entertaining.
Paired with the way Robinson can portray insanity that’s guaranteed to bring laughs, the show seems to already have a solid premise.
Plus, they’ve shot a lot of moments like a drama, but the line deliveries from each of the characters make the scenes comedy gold.
Satirizing conspiracy theorists could produce some comedic moments, as unraveling the rabbit holes always leads to unpredictably hilarious places.
Getting to watch Robinson walk the line between comedy and drama in a series instead of sticking to pure comedy like he usually does will surely be exciting!
There’s A Charm to the Mystery of The Chair Company
Even though the series will premiere on October 12th, there’s still little we know about The Chair Company.
The trailer provided some information about the plot but still left the viewer with plenty of questions, including the question of what the inciting incident actually is.
In fact, the trailer doesn’t mention anything about chairs, raising the question of what exactly the main character may be doing.
The mystery surrounding the series’ exact details contributes to the growing anticipation for The Chair Company.
Perhaps HBO has been so hush about the comedy because the plot is so outlandish that we won’t believe it until we see it.
Still, with what little we know about the series, there is much to look forward to in seeing Tim Robinson portray yet another unhinged character in an unanticipated situation.
The fall TV season is shaping up to be a great one for comedy fans, so make sure to keep an eye out for new episodes of The Chair Company!
