The Very Big Corporation of America is a fictional entity from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (1983), portrayed as a soulless, hyper-capitalist conglomerate bent on global domination through finance. It’s introduced in the satirical short film The Crimson Permanent Assurance, where elderly British clerks rebel against their corporate overlords by transforming their office into a pirate ship and launching a swashbuckling attack on the VBCA’s skyscraper. The VBCA serves as a parody of faceless multinational corporations, critiquing greed, bureaucracy, and the absurdity of modern business culture with Python’s signature surrealism.
