Line 6:
[[Comedy Central]] [[Work Com]] following the exploits of three college graduate [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonists]] Adam, Anders, and Blake. The three all work at a telemarketing company, but they spend most of their time getting drunk, doing drugs, and pulling pranks.
The show was based on the [[Web Original|Web Show]] ''5thyear'' and is generally described as a sort of [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Office Space]]'', [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|but on drugs]]. It premiered on [[Comedy Central]] on April 6, 2011, to a mixed-to-positive critical response.
Not to be confused with a [[Workaholic]], which this show's main characters ''definitely'' aren't.
