Fresh Meat: Workaholics


Now I know its stupid of me to say that there has never been a show that truly relates to the college
student. There is South Park and It's Always Sunny etc... However, there is a new show in town that beautifully represents the image of our budding youth from lazy college student, to now, lazy worker. For this generation of employees, there is a whole world outside of the work office that would scare the shit out of their bosses. Workaholics, delightfully melds those two worlds together. Three friends, (Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine) work as salesman selling random products to anybody who will stay on the phone long enough. They play pranks on each other at home, at the office and on their coworkers. In one episode, they take mushrooms and camp out in their office cause their house is being sprayed for bugs. They think that the IT guys are robbers and set up this obstacle course to catch them, using lasers like the movie Entrapment and broomsticks fashioned into spears like Braveheart.

Bottom Line: If you are in your early 20's and miss your college days, this show is your cure. It will have you singing Catherine Zeta Jones in no time!
