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 Onon 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. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Workaholics]]'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===~~ * [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Montez, the boys' co-worker. He has a Spanish surname, but acts stereotypically black. ([[Jive Turkey]] accent and all) * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: {{quote\| '''Alice''': I'm gonna eat your balls for breakfast tomorrow, with my Grape Nuts. Then I'm gonna murder you. Then I'm gonna fire you.}} * [[Bad Boss]]: Alice regularly insults her employees both passively and outright. * [[Brick Joke]]: A few. Line 30: * [[Fan Service]]: Blake's striptease at the beginning of "Checkpoint Gnarly." Really, in any given episode there's a pretty good chance Blake will end up at least a little naked. * [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Ders." Anders is hardly ever called by his full name. * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]: Alice is indeed a verbally abusive [[Bad Boss]], and in the episode "Model Kombat" she outright tells Adam that she wouldn't care if he died. {{spoiler\|Later that episode, she doesn't hesitate to save him from choking to death, and afterwards she even grudgingly lets him hug her for a second.}} * [[Last-Name Basis]]: Montez. ** Actually, "Montez" is his first name. His full name is "Montez Walker" as we learned in "We Be Ballin", the episode his character was introduced in. Line 37: * [[Pretty in Mink]]: Blake's bear jacket. '''''[[Crowning Moment of Funny\|"BITCH BETTA HAVE MY HONEY !"]]''''' * [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Surprisingly, Alice, who has retained her staff (even Anders, Adam, and Blake) despite numerous emails from Corporate telling her to trim the dead weight. * [[~~Re Cut~~Recut]]: The boys watch an edited for TV version of ''[[~~Die Hard (Film)\|~~Die Hard]]'' with Blake's drug dealer and note the amusing replacement of "fuck" with "cluck." * [[Shout -Out]]: A drug tester in [[The Pilot]] calls Blake "[[Strawberry Shortcake]]". The same episode also features several references to ''[[~~Die Hard (Film)\|~~Die Hard]]'', complete with Blake crawling through the vents while paraphrasing a line from the movie. Again from the same episode, the kid in the playground that the boys try to get clean pee from calls Blake "[[Harry Potter\|Hermione]]". ** [[Entrapment\|Catherine Zeta Jones! She dips beneath lasers. Woooaaaooo.]] Line 53: {{reflist}} [[Category:Work Com]] [[Category:Workaholics]]▼ [[Category:TV Series]] ▲[[Category:~~Workaholics~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
