Workaholics

Premise:
“Workaholics” centers on three college friends—Blake, Adam, and Anders—who are roommates as well as co-workers at a nondescript telemarketing company. Rather than adopting a conventional adult lifestyle, they attempt to extend their carefree college days into their work life, resulting in a series of wild, comedic adventures both at the office and outside it.

Main Central Characters:

  • Adam DeMamp (Adam DeVine): Over-the-top and impulsive, Adam is always looking for the next party or scheme.
  • Anders Holmvik (Anders Holm): The most ‘responsible’ of the trio, Anders often plays the straight-man to his friends’ absurd antics.
  • Blake Henderson (Blake Anderson): Known for his curly hair and relaxed demeanor, Blake is often the mediator when Adam and Anders clash.

Themes:
The series deals with the transition from the freedom of college to the responsibilities of adulthood, though the main characters are largely in denial about this shift. It also explores friendship and the often blurred line between work life and personal life. The humor is irreverent, leaning heavily into stoner comedy, workplace satire, and the awkwardness of prolonged adolescence.
