Workplace comedy is about get taken to a more wonderfully dark place than it probably has ever been.

If you’ve enjoyed WOMEN Comedy at all like we’ve done all these years, you’d know that Comedy Central ordering a workplace comedy series from two of the four members of WOMEN Comedy, Jake Weisman and Pat Bishop, and the very darkly funny Matt Ingebretson is something to celebrate, even if you’re by yourself right now.

The series is called Corporate and will star Jake and Matt as two junior executives that do the dirty work for their bosses at a gigantic corporation called Hampton DeVille. Pat took on directing the pilot and we can only imagine that he’ll continue behind-the-scenes (and probably cameo from time-to-time) like he’s done for so many of their sketches over the years.

We’d guess that it might be akin to one of our favorite WOMEN sketches, Hour Long TV Drama.

Oh, we don’t know all the details, but really hope this goes to series soon because we suspect Matt, Jake, and Pat have something incredibly dark, but damn funny cooking.

Matt Ingebretson, Jake Weisman, and Pat Bishop have all made their way through the LA comedy scene doing stand-up and making various very funny sketches videos as Women Comedy, under their own names, etc.

Now, they’ve got their own pilot called Corporate, which will delve into the underbelly of the corporate world in a richly dark, satiric manner over at Comedy Central.

We can’t for sure, but perhaps it might be something a little like this fantastic Women sketch that Pat and Jake made awhile back.

It’s so easy to fall into the phenomenon known as road rage. Another car doing anything that’s the least bit unexpected could potentially throw you into a tirade of bigotry and threats. In fact, it’s such a cavalcade of hate speech, it’s kind of amazing that most people can string that many derogatory words into coherent thoughts.

Sketch group Women has a very simple solution for that. Watch it here.

Morning Debriefing 6/12/11

1) WHAT WENT VIRAL: A girl crying about cats while making a dating profile video. WHAT NEEDS TO GO VIRAL: a remix of a girl crying about cats while making a dating profile video by sketch group Women Comedy.

2) The Hollywood Fringe Festival is already under way with several comedy events that are on the “fringe”, but if you want to submit for next year, you can now, according to their guide for this year, go here and post about it.

3) Comedy Store paid regular Jerrod Carmichael has been on Twitter for awhile, but he’s only now starting to share his brilliant humor with the microblogging world, @NotoriousRod as he live tweets his niece’s dance recital.

4) Hilarious Atom.com webseries Kid Farm w/Pete Holmes finally has another episode!!! (that would be your cue to click the link or press the play button below)

5) The Flaming C/Conan is calling out for fan art!!!

6) Garfunkel & Oates have a new song! “My Apartment’s Very Clean Without You”. Great way to start off a nostalgic Sunday

7) Below is a clip of Louis CK doing a 3 minute set in 1987. He’s doing dolphin jokes. There’s hints of what he does now, but only hints. It’s now 2011 and some of his best material is about his two daughters. To anyone thinking wondering about development as an artist as a comedian, well, here’s a perfect example of how drastic it can be.

11) Last night I did 20 minutes that I would best describe as mostly nonsense riffing with a strong start and finish that I would most likely want to delete off of my phone’s voice recorder. Yet, a real person (not a comic) came up to me and thanked me for making him laugh. Despite what I thought, I didn’t correct him because, really, he’s right.

12) Special thanks to Jordan Brady for the shout out on Twitter this morning. Please follow him at @IAmComicMovie (oh yeah, did I mentioned he directed I Am Comic?)
