4. The Plot
Each episode offers another crazy scenario for Adam, Blake and Anders our intrepid protagonists who must navigate the dreaded early twenties, beginning of adulthood. This scenario is particularly poignant at the moment with young people unable to find jobs they enjoy and finding solace only in going out and partying with friends, Workaholics strikes a chord with the popular zeitgiest. Enough of my touching social commentary however and on to some plot examples. There's an anarchic range on off the leads do everything from attempting to rig a drug test to camping out at work after hours and even finding themselves at the Insane Clown Posse's Dark Carnival of Souls. You never know what the next episode will bring, which is a good thing because you're always pleasantly surprised. The writing that goes into Workholics from the Mail Order Comedy team is very strong, backed up by some hilarious central performances. Although the situations can sometimes become farfetched as is to be expected in a comedy, you're right there with the three of them because as well as making you laugh, after a while you can't help but care what happens to them.
