So this is the funniest season-based show Comedy Central has had since "Chappelle's Show" was on it's second year.

It could possibly be attributed to the fact I fall in the obvious target demo of 18-35 year-olds, but I really enjoy a lot of things about this show. The timing, The pacing. The still developing characters (all of them). The content that is refreshingly adult.

Maybe W_Z or someone more knowledgeable in the field can speak to this more than me, but television/movie comedy writers have something that's called like a joke to dialogue ratio. This is implemented per scene, and helps keep content fresh throughout the duration of a skit or film scene. IMO 'Workaholics' tightens this ratio closer than anything I've seen since Arrested Development or Chappelle's.

Would recommend this show for the disenchanted, 20-30 something, recreational pot using Workaholics on the board.

Usually Comedy Central will try a new show out and it will suck, but this was pretty damn funny.

So far, so good. Hope it doesn't get repetitive.

It tastes like a mummy's dick... :lol:

Next ep looks hilarious.

I think god communicated with me today.... during the day at random the phrase "I like the cut of your jib" popped into my head and it became a meme for me today.... then later tonight in my post-bulls two hours hate I had the show on in the background and i'll be damned if the one dude didn't go to the juggalo hatchet salesman and say "I LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB!"

this has started me on a quixotic quest to implant the phrase "i like the cut of your jib" back into its rightful place in everyone's conversational/vernacular lexicons.

The only thing I find annoying about this show is that comedy central has decided to start putting twitter hashtags in the lower left corner, as if it's telling you HEY GO USE THIS AND TALK TO EVERYONE! GET IT TRENDING!

much like new era caps have forced their logo on to the side of hats like WHATCHOO GONNA DOOO?!?!! now tv channels have declared the right to first put a watermark/logo on the screen, and then came the watermarked ads for NEW SOUTH PARK WEDNESDAY 10/9C and now we've got comedy central breaching brave new territory by putting twitter hashtags on the program... i'd say stop that shit, but like, it's merely the pilot fish bringing in THE BEAST someday =/

Great show. The dude with the white man fro is hilarious. He was on a couple episodes of Traffic Light as "Tad". That show is hit and miss but he killed it.

Been seeing a lot of commercials for the season premiere and was considering checking it out if
it doesn't interfere with Catching Hell on ESPN.

I haven't seen too much of this show, but I did catch last week's (I think) episode with the dragon statue. Hilarious. I'll be DVR'ing tonight, unless my Cards lose to Houston again. Then I'll be watching live.

I ended up giving this a shot last night. Definitely has it's funny moments but kind of a strange show.
I think I'll give it another shot next week and see if it is more of the same.

Last night's episode was phenomenal. They tried to go to a powered by jesus gladiators/lifting exhibition. They tailgated the event, didn't get in, hung out with the lord's force team, got them drunk....and it just takes off from there. Funniest thing on TV.
