The man started arguing and dreaming about lizard people and deep states until his daughter came and, embarrassed, told him to get into his car. He is Reagan Ridley (Lizzie Kaplan), a senior engineer at Cognito. Inc., a company their father Rand (Christian Slater) ran until he went insane.
As we can see when the two of them walk through the building, Cognito, Inc.
This is not your average company. It’s the “inside state” everyone talks about, with the aliens as mentioned above. The lizards and all sorts of things going on in that mirror.
What your crazy uncle was talking about on Thanksgiving. Reagan applied for a senior engineering position, but the current CEO, J.R. Scheimpough (Andy Daly), believes Reagan lacks the skills people need to get the job done.

J.R. is pairing him with an expressionless college graduate named Brett Hand (Clark Duke). He is a former fraternity boy who J.R. was on the golf course; However, Brett knew he was practically sane because he was a manipulator.
You lead a very diverse team: Dr Andre (Bobby Lee), who likes to experiment with all kinds of substances; Glenn Dolphman (John Di Maggio), a human-dolphin hybrid; Gigi Thompson (Tisha Campbell), P.R. expert and head of media manipulation; and Magic Myc (Brett Gelman), who is not only an office idiot but a plant-like creature who can read minds.
Reagan hated working with Brett, but he was too busy lifting the presidential robot project, ROBOTUS, off the floor. The idea is to kidnap the not-so-savvy current president (who looks suspicious to Mitt Romney). And s*duce him into a controlled robot. But when J.R. gets rid of Reagan for psychological reasons. Rand adds a code to the robot president that makes him sane when lightning explodes. Which causing him to break all manner of patriotic traps.
When ROBOT becomes a con man, Reagan and Brett must stop him. After defeating him (and disarming nuclear weapons). Reagan realized he needed “an ordinary white man to be a human shield and social lubricant”.
Inside Job executive producer Shion Takeuchi is used to working on shows:
Gravity Falls is a regular (inside out) show and film. With such a slightly distorted worldview that a caricature of a shadow government. Who are ruling the “inner states” seems to be something in its wheelhouse. But what he and the show’s other screenwriters got was that they still based the show on character-led humour. But with enough jokes to make sharp-eyed viewers laugh.

Takeuchi and company managed to balance the fact that Cognito, Inc. (an anagram for saying, “Incognito… you understand?”) Like any other stupid company and that your coworkers might be like the people closest to you is. The most prominent builder and barrier to success are, well, with all profound circumstances.
It’s an idea that it has its legs because the main character is instantly established. Reagan has personality problems, as we saw when he used an attack robot to get his team to send their art. Brett is so expressionless that even the animation is impersonal. But when they work together, we see a lot more about each of their characters than is what we usually get to see in the first of the episode of a comedy.
It helps when the cast is full of big names who are also good voice actors. We are especially intrigued when we hear of Slater as a paranoid and unjustifiable person who will always be there to be his daughter’s most considerable support and thorn. Still, Kaplan, Campbell, Duke, Gelman, DiMaggio Do and Lee do their job to make their wishes come true. Character well, not just celebrity voices.
We mentioned Futurama above, and it looks like the direction of the show:
If that works, it becomes a workplace comedy set in a very unusual workplace (and the episode description seems to suggest he’s headed in that direction). Then this should be a satisfying show full of characters who grow, change, and – in some fun cases – stay as persistent as ever.

With Inside Job instantly identifying the character, the humour goes far beyond seeing a lizard fight a Keurig machine in the bathroom. And with that, the series will last for several seasons.
