Jake Weisman, Matt Ingebretson, and Pat Bishop‘s Corporate has been one of our favorite comedy series time and again over the last few years. We got a sneak peek of this third and final season and Corporate continues to hold up its torch of being one of the best and darkest workplace comedies on television these days.

Not only is it one of the most cinematic looking comedies on TV, but it’s unrelenting satire of all things that live and breathe corporate culture (even as the show is distributed under the umbrella of a media conglomerate corporation) has been thoroughly satisfying, especially if you’re comedy tastes skew to the dark side.

The final season is set to premiere at 10:30PM tonight on Comedy Central. However, you can sneak a preview by watching the wonderfully maniacal opening here.

The satirical video/performance art collective Everything Is Terrible has been bringing you the best in recontextualizing the worst in pop culture for several years now and are stepping up their game by opening very own Everything Is Terrible Store deep in East LA (i.e. true East LA and not this noveau-Eastside LA label of Highland Park/Echo Park/etc.).

EIT! is the video and performance collective known for their Jerry Maguire VHS collection (and Echo Park Video Store installation), epic psychedelic video compilations, and live shows featuring beautiful and whimsical costumes and puppets! Now they finally have a permanent home here in LA, where they can experiment with new installations, videos, and performances, as well as showcase limited edition Everything Is Terrible! apparel, accessories, and more!

They’re throwing a big shindig to celebrate their opening on July 6th at 8PM in case your interest is peaked. Their new address is 754 S. Atlantic Blvd. (note: told you it was deep in East LA).

Sure, Rick would probably comment on how making 8-bit versions of things is just capitalizing on your nostalgia, but Paul Robertson does such a good job of making an 8-bit version of the Rick and Morty opening that it’s worth it.

As guest of Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, venerable director Spike Jonze wanted to do more than just a simple bit on the show.

He, instead, opted for the make-a-whole-new-opening-for-the-show route.

The result, while only a one-time deal marked by Leap Day, really captures Colbert’s mixture of absurdity and heart that he goes for with abandon at the helm of The Late Show.

The latest episode of The Simpsons had quite the nice tip of the cap to HBO’s Silicon Valley this past weekend by doing a version of the Silicon Valley opening, but over Springfield.

It’s almost a frame-for-frame recreation minus all the tech giants and plus Moe’s, etc.

He went for/attempted to invade the privacy of 50 celebrities to make for a star studded opening to the show, which we’re pretty sure is a record. Give it a watch here.
