Look, I'm not going to sit here with no pants on and pretend that last night's mid-season premiere (?) of Workaholics was a great episode. It was not. When the payoff involves booger-eating and pants-sh*tting I need not type more. Louis C.K. can't even make booger jokes funny. That is fact. (Actually, it's not. I'm sure Louis has some stellar boog material stashed away somewhere, but hyperbole-to-make-a-point.)
Luckily for us the internet is still really good at making Workaholics GIFs and Adam DeVine dressed as Mike Myers as The Love Guru for me to use as the banner image, so all was not completely lost.
Now THIS is something I wholeheartedly approve of...
Along with sandwich shop pizza delivery debates...
Line of the Night: "What's funny about unlimited self blowjobs and getting paid to do the robot?"
The running "I get comedy" debate was of course the highlight of the episode. Blake's appreciation for classic comedies, Ders having a dry British sensibility, and Adam being on the cutting edge of indie (i.e. Indian) comedy all boiling down to each loving a different Mike Myers movie is what I'm talking about.
Jillian + broom also deserves a GIF mention, but alas, I have not seen one.
My enjoyment of this despite myself is why Buzzfeed is taking over the internet in a microcosm.

B-rad as Tony Clifton was awesome. Wonder how many people caught the reference.
/I’m old
//probably too old to be watching Workaholics
I definitely caught it and made a note but haven’t seen any media for it and was too lazy to figure out a way to screengrab it myself.
I caught it immediately and then he confirmed it by saying “I’m Tony Clifton you asshole. Wake up.” Great.
Same and it was pretty glorious. Makes me wish Comedy Central still showed those Andy Kaufman documentaries on Saturdays or late night.
Blake was kinda Unabomber-ing it up at the sandwich shop, huh?
Their attempts at inconspicuousness made them conspicuous. That’s a gag I can get behind.
I seriously thought that banner image may have been Aphex Twin
Wondering if this show is the over / under mark between generations. I’ve only seen one episode but just couldn’t get into it.
Also, the guy with the long hair gets a warning about dress-code appearance in his first week and is fired by the end of his first month in pretty much any office setting I’ve been around.
I think it’s hit or miss for me. The dress code thing seems like nitpicking to me, nobody watches this for the realistic portrayal of an office environment.
Their job is telemarketing. I work in a call center myself. There is no dress code.
There’s also no internet monitoring. CHEERS!
Wait wait wait. Are you saying that if you wear pants, that makes shows good?
I like that all of a sudden stupid comedies have to have a payoff. Yeah the guy ate boogers and the other guy shit his pants, but as a whole this episode was awesome from the fact that the 3 funniest movies of all time involve Mike Myers, to addressing the ever burning question: “If I suck my own dick, does that make me gay?” I really have to stop reading this site for anything other than to tell me what’s on. It’s utter shite otherwise.
A quick synopsis of this blog:
“Hi we are a bunch of bloggers that all write in the same style as every other blogger. We love FX and community and think that everything else is awful. One or several of us have had sex with corgis at one point in our lives.”
Dammit, Jerry.
Since when did “not great” = “unwatchable”? The Mike Myers comedy thing was pretty brilliant, I thought, but the episode as a whole was a bit of a miss, by the standards they’ve set for themselves anyway.
Have you ever had sex with a Corgi? You’d be hard pressed to find enough places to write about it.
I love the show; that episode was awful. Does it really need to go beyond that?
jill.gif.now!
That Staples Center line absolutely slayed me last night. Adam “Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson” DeMamp is definitely one of my spirit animals.
“And Bill, you look like a goddamn child molester.”
I’m just biding my time until Archer comes back, at which time I expect a 20 page layout on this site ASAP.
thx uproxx, you the best.
Tonight.
So close yet so far.
Jillian as Sandman Sims FTW!!!!
maybe it was because i was high but watching a man shit his pants while another ate his boogers made me laugh/cringe so hard i teared up. awesome episode
nice to see todd working in the sandwich shop – someone’s trying to get back in the good graces (not to mention getting his purple heart back.)
Happy Endings made booger jokes funny.
“Sup? You guys talkin’ boogs?”
I dry heaved
