“Workaholics” is back for a fourth season on Comedy Central, with more laughter, pranks, and hilarious situations the three telemarketers find themselves in. Workaholics is a comedy show that follows the trio that consists of Anders, Blake, and Adam.
The three guys work as telemarketers under Alice, their boss whom they constantly seem to anger. The show is set in the suburbs of a Californian city, where the trio always gets into trouble. They get into amusing pranks, such as stealing urine to pass a drug test at the office, getting Adam’s cousin to get them a handicapped parking pass and much more.
Anders is the tall, witty and responsible part of the group, while Adam is the highly immature one and the slacker of the group. Blake is the strange one with hippie- style hair. He always tries to “keep it real” during their troubled situations.
Although they get into stupid situations, they still seem to find a way out of it, from bribing a kid for his urine to switching beer cans into a soda pack so they can sneak it out because of the no alcoholic beverages after midnight policy.
They pull stupid stunts to impress girls, from entering contests that involve going under toxic water to get Clippers tickets to impress Adam’s crush, and trying to impress their boss by taking care of her weird brother.
The guys live in a one-level house, with their stoner friend Kyle who sits on his butt all day watching Die-Hard while the trio slacks off at work. At work, everything seems calm until the pranks start to happen. Adam, since he is immature, always starts pranking everyone, from sabotaging Ander’s presentation to thinking he is “possessed” by the ghost of the owner of the company.
It is hard to relate to these characters, because they always seem to be unmotivated and only care for getting stoned and drinking beer. The show has many flaws, such as the obscenity and slander that is repeated throughout the show, but it also makes you laugh every once a while.
The new season of “Workaholics” will bring more madness, drinking, stupid pranks and chaotic situations in which the trio always tends to screw up. If you are looking for a show where the actors act like the Three Stooges with a weird bromance, this is a perfect show. Do not watch this if you dislike profane language and obscenity as the trio often displays in the show.
In my very own opinion of the show, I would give “Workaholics” three out of five stars. The show might work their way up to four stars if they kept down the inappropriateness to allow more people to watch it.
“Workaholics” appears every Wednesday at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.
