\"\"<\/a>Workaholics<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which just finished it’s second season on Comedy Central, is a quirky comedy about three recent college grads named Blake, Adam, and Anders who live together and work together (literally in the same cubicle) at a ho-hum telemarketing firm.<\/p>\n

And it is super funny.
\nLike really really really funny.
\nThere is Wizard Rap.
\nBasically, I love it a lot.<\/p>\n

By combining the quirkiness of The Office<\/em><\/a> and the outrageousness of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia<\/em><\/a>, Workaholics<\/strong><\/em><\/a> manages to be both audacious and sweet. These guys may scam their way out of the office drug test or lead a strike when they aren’t allowed to take a day off for Half-Christmas, but they really do care about each other and their coworkers (Their goofy friendship with their nerdy coworker, Jillian, is so adorable).<\/p>\n

However, what I find most notable about Workaholics<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is the show’s constant references to Rugrats, Home Alone, and Darkwing Duck. Yes, we Generation Y-ers have finally come of age and have made it not only into the workforce, but also into the writers’ chairs of cable television. Yippy Skippy! (The show has yet to make a Muppet Babies reference, but I’m sure it is coming..) I highly recommend checking out Workaholics<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to those fans of South Park<\/em><\/a>, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia<\/em><\/a>, and Nickelodeon’s All That (the original era).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
