SXSW Review: Comedy Central’s “Workaholics”

Score:C+

Director:Various

Cast:Blake Anderson, Anders Holm, Adam Devine

Running Time:300.00

Rated:NR

Following 'South Park' on Wednesday nights, Comedy Central is bringing all recent college grads a ridiculous and amusing look at their own lives. 'Workaholics' takes what some of us gave up after college, as well as what some of us secretly refused to give up and puts it on screen for all young adults to laugh at. Guys will always want girls, they will always prank each other, and they will always find something boring about work while continuing to suffer because they need money. Welcome to post-college life where alcohol and drugs are an integral part of relaxing and being goofy is a necessary escape from the monotony of the 40-hour work week. 

This humor may not be for everyone, but I'd say that most young adults will find a lot of laughable if not relatable moments to watch.  I saw Adam Devine do stand-up to promote the show, and I can only assume that the show incorporates funny writing with a lot of improvisation. These guys are entertaining, and the show will fit perfectly in Comedy Central's evening   line-up. Following 'South Park', the show should have no problem finding the right audience.  Don't miss out on an exaggerated version of what life could be if only you too were a 'Workaholic.'
