On revoking the subject of work: Psychoanalytic interpretations of the American television series .

The present paper seeks to use the conceptual framework of psychoanalysis to reconstruct the unconscious fantasies and latent meanings of a very popular and massively successful comedy series. (2005-2013) is an American adaptation of a much shorter British production with the same title, which was originally broadcast in the early 2000s. The pivotal unconscious idea behind the script is thoroughly anarchistic in nature, because it implies the radical revocation of the working subject by means of humour.
