Tim Robinson Goes Full Conspiracy Theorist in HBO’s Bonkers New Comedy ‘The Chair Company’ WATCH Trailer

If you've ever watched Tim Robinson spiral into chaos over something incredibly minor, you're in for a treat. HBO just dropped the first trailer for The Chair Company and it’s as gloriously absurd as you’d expect. Known for his cult-favorite sketch series I Think You Should Leave, Robinson now stars in a full-blown narrative comedy where he trades office chairs for dark secrets and workplace awkwardness for a full-scale criminal conspiracy. Yes, really. So what makes this the must-watch HBO comedy of the fall? Let’s dig into the weird and wonderful details.

A Workplace Tantrum Turns Into a Wild Conspiracy

In The Chair Company, Robinson plays William Ronald Trosper, a middle-aged office drone who suffers one painfully awkward incident at work. You’d think it would end there, but not in a Tim Robinson universe. Instead, Ron begins to believe that his chair-related humiliation is tied to something far more sinister. Think corporate espionage, secret societies, and the kind of logic only a guy spiraling out of control would find convincing. This is not your average office comedy. This is Tim Robinson with a budget and a plot, and it is glorious.

Star Power and Weird Energy in Every Frame

Joining Robinson is Lake Bell as his way-too-patient wife Barb, along with Sophia Lillis, Will Price, Joseph Tudisco, and the unexpectedly perfect Lou Diamond Phillips in a recurring role. The cast leans into the bizarre with deadpan brilliance, giving the series that uneasy mix of reality and delusion that Robinson thrives on.

The tone? Picture a True Detective fever dream if it was directed by someone who once yelled at a hot dog costume in a mall. It’s paranoid. It’s surreal. It’s full of chairs.

Why ‘The Chair Company’ Deserves Your Attention

HBO has a knack for turning offbeat concepts into cult hits, and The Chair Company looks ready to follow suit. The trailer promises an off-kilter mystery soaked in corporate absurdity, complete with questionable logic and deeply uncomfortable moments. If you love cringe comedy mixed with unexpected emotional depth, this is your show.

Final Thoughts

The Chair Company premieres October 12 on HBO and HBO Max and honestly, it looks unmissable. Tim Robinson might finally have found the perfect sandbox to let his chaotic genius run wild.

So mark your calendar, adjust your office chair, and prepare to question everything. This fall, the conspiracy is ergonomic and the laughs are aggressively awkward.

Watch the trailer, join the madness, and don’t trust the furniture.
