Viewers have been left \u2018crying with laughter\u2019 after watching \u2018one of the funniest shows\u2019 to be released this year.<\/p>\n

HBO<\/a>\u2019s The Chair Company retained its perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> following the release of its second episode last night.<\/p>\n

And it appears to be showing no signs of slowing down, after fans hailed the \u2018sensationally\u2019 weird and inventive blend of cringe comedy and surreal mystery.<\/p>\n

The eight-episode series, co-created by and starring Tim Robinson<\/a>, sees Ron Trosper (Robinson) investigate a far-reaching conspiracy after an embarrassing workplace incident.<\/p>\n

Writing on X following the latest episode\u2019s release, @big_business_ said: \u2018The Chair Company is one of the weirdest, most stupidest and funniest TV shows in ages.\u2019<\/p>\n

@yourfavg0blin added: \u2018I cannot believe the direction this show is taking. How does it manage to get better every single episode. I\u2019m so glad they decided to do a weekly release instead of dropping the full season at once. I LOVE THIS SHOW.\u2019<\/p>\n

@WillyWhips also wrote: \u2018While watching both episodes so far I\u2019ve started laughing so hard I can barely breathe. Not a lot of shows have that effect anymore.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, @JefftheSpursfan argued: \u2018The Chair Company legit is one of the funniest shows all year. The newest episode was so good.\u2019<\/p>\n

@todderov28 echoed this sentiment by saying: \u2018The Chair Company is as sensational as you\u2019d expect it to be. First two episodes are like a horror film\/fever dream.<\/p>\n

\u2018So many moments that have absolutely blown me away.\u2019<\/p>\n

Discussing a specific moment in the series, @kettlevinyl said: \u2018This moment from the chair company made me giggle so hard last night I had real tears in my eyes, made me giggle out loud when I remembered it on my walk to work this morning, and has me giggling once more as I type this.\u2019<\/p>\n

@brandonwenerd similarly wrote: \u2018Pretty sure this scene in E2 of HBO<\/a>\u2019s The Chair Company may have been the hardest I\u2019ve laughed at a TV show all year.\u2019<\/p>\n

Co-written by Zach Kanin, the cringe-inducing comedy also stars Lake Bell, Sophia Lillis, Will Price, and Joseph Tudisco. <\/p>\n

So far, the show has also received rave reviews from critics, despite the fact that its humour might not be suited to everybody\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n

It also marks former Saturday Night Live alumni Robinson\u2019s return to TV after his success with the sketch show I Think You Should Leave and Detroiters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This came after the release of his film Friendship, starring Paul Rudd, earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The Chair Company airs weekly on Sky Comedy and is available to stream on NOW.<\/p>\n
