They're Putting Comedy To Work
Better Off Ted Aired From March 18, 2009 - January 26, 2010.
About Better Off Ted:
The show is a satirical office comedy that focuses on Ted, the head of Research and Development at Veridian Dynamics. Veridian Dynamics is a large unscrupulous multinational corporation that values profits over morals. Ted is a single parent of an 8-year-old girl, Rose. At work, he oversees two research scientists Lem and Phil, and a head tester Linda, for whom he has romantic feelings. His boss is Veronica, a seemingly emotionless and conscience-free woman with whom he once had a one-night stand. After the company cryonically freezes one of the research scientists, Ted begins to question the company's objectives and morals. Overall, however, he believes that the company is helping people and giving them a better way of life.
Throughout the show, Ted breaks the fourth wall by giving monologues to the camera to narrate his own life and explain the show's events.
Each episode has an advertisement for Veridian Dynamics which involves that show's topic, such as diversity, food, and family. The advertisements are comically out of touch, making contradicting statements or having non-sequiturs.
