The show follows Seth (George Kareman), Kyle (Pat O’Brien), and Kevin (Ben Wietmarschen), "team leaders" at an unnamed corporation, conducting unknown business. The show's main theme is a satirical view on corporate ineptitude and business speak.

Commentary
Maintaining the absurd dynamic is an essential element of the show, the bouffant hairpieces are neither explained; nor even acknowledged. According to Thrillist's Dave Infante, this visual gag reflects the tenor of the show itself – divorced from distinguishing context and unburdened by likable characters. Long Haired Businessmen is able to ruthlessly lampoon corporate culture. Its characters speak in non-stop buzzwords and clichés, and while the dialogue occasionally touches on their personal lives, this mostly serves to underline an absence of self-awareness and detachment from the world at large.
