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.

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~~ 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]]: 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."

** 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.
