Workaholics

I don't write many reviews on IMDb but I thought I'd give my 2 cents on Workaholics. I'd always known about this show and seen commercials for it on Comedy Central but I never actually sat down and watched it. That was until several years ago while flying across country and having nothing to do on the airplane... they had basic cable for everyone with little televisions in front of each passengers seat, so needless to say the only thing to do to kill time was find something on cable. I switched to Comedy Central and noticed that Workaholics was playing a marathon of episodes so I decided to give it a shot. I was hooked within the first couple episodes! I'll admit the humor is kind of juvenile but it's also pretty clever and very, very funny. I love the countless references they make. The show is about 3 telemarketers (Anders, Blake and Adam) who all live and work together in California. They are stoners, slackers, alcoholics and most importantly very funny! If you haven't seen this show yet it is currently streaming all seasons on Hulu right now (March 30th, 2020) so get on there and binge watch while you still can! Highly recommended. I don't watch many tv shows or sitcoms so for me to be such a huge fan definitely says a lot. Two thumbs way up!!

I've always loved juvenile humor. I can't help it, it's the sense of humor I was born with. But Workaholics has some of the absolute funniest scenes in TV today. In a world overpopulated with lawyer and cop dramas, Workaholics helps to break the mold and bring fresh air into the comedy television series world. The three characters all play so well together it's as if they were all real-life brothers. Unfortunately I haven't seen them in anything other than Workaholics, and it would be a shame if their careers didn't skyrocket into the big screen, but if you're looking for a hilarious sit-down comedy to watch this is it. Just don't let your kids watch, as it can be quite raunchy at times.

Like most new comedies it took me an episode or two to really get into this although I did like it enough from the first episode to watch more. Like most half hour comedies as the characters develop it gets better and better but where so many new comedies seem to fall down this one doesn't. The show doesn't focus too much on character development which allows the jokes to flow freely and fools you in to developing an interest in the characters, like a good comedy should. I probably enjoy it a little more than some might because Anders, that is Ders with a 'Hard-An' reminds me of a friend of mine at work.

The show is pretty fresh and whilst the teens and twenty somethings will probably be the target audience I think older people (probably not those approaching retirement) will still be able to enjoy this show for what it is - a half hour comedy show that keeps you laughing in the genre of a twenty something/stoner comedy.

A story about 3 young college dropouts who share a house and work at the same company as telemarketer, their life consists of marijuana, booze, work related problem and pranks between them.

I can't remember when was the last time I laugh so hard to a movie / TV series, but this workaholics guys really pulled it off, their comedy is so fresh and just funny. I am 37 years old and honestly it's kinda too young for me, but having passed that phase in my life, I could totally relate to the story they're bringing.

Just finished the season 1, I hope the season 2 and 3 will be just as good.

"Workaholics" is a show that really shouldn't work as well as it does. The show is extremely juvenile, stupid, vulgar, and occasionally very unrealistic. Under normal circumstances, these would be criticisms. However, thanks to the three main stars of the series, these qualities make the series oddly endearing. Anders Holm, Adam DeVine, and Blake Anderson are probably not going to be given Emmy Awards for their performances any time in the near future, but what they do on a weekly basis is often funnier and more off-the-wall than anything else on television. There have been several shows about twenty-something guys just hanging out, a fact that "Workaholics" is well aware of and satirizes from time to time. What separates "Workaholics" from all those other "bro" type shows is that "Workaholics" isn't afraid to go to extremely dumb places. In fact, during its best episodes, "Workaholics" is the definition of inspired stupidity. The writers throw so many jokes and references in each 21-minute episode that even if one episode isn't very good, there's always still a number of solid laughs. Miraculously, no matter how dumb the characters may act, the main trio almost always remains likable even if the characters are presented as a bit too naive or stupid at times. Over the past four seasons, "Workaholics" has remained consistently hilarious, something that can't be said for most comedies on television. The show may start to suffer some problems once the characters get older, though for right now the series remains perfectly entertaining for what it is. 8/10
