    Almost anything created by Mike Judge.

    King of the Hill

    There's a different societal conflict every episode. The conflicts are almost always explained by Hank to be caused moral failures and the conflicts are resolved by Hank's conservative values.

    Office Space

    Main character is alienated from his work, so he decides to stop doing his job but still collect his paycheck. The movie concludes that he should work a construction job instead of an office job.

    Idiocracy

    Dystopian future where corporations control all facets of life. The problem is deemed to be that low IQ people are breeding more frequently than high IQ people.

    Silicon Valley

    Struggling developers living in a "business incubator", the capitalist owner of the house extracts value from the software they make. Constant conflicts with giant corporations that want to steal their ideas. Conflicts are always resolved at the end of each season with some magic technological development.

    Not sure about Beavis and Butt-head, Extract, The Goode Family.

      Oh, I can name the capitalist bad stuff in Beavis and Butt-head. The metanarrative is that it takes place in a suburb whose identity has been completely destroyed by Reagan-era neoliberalism, and the implication is that the only people who can be happy there are two idiots who are barely capable of functioning. But it's not pointed at.
