Workaholics (2011)
I tried to like this show, believe me.
I decided to give this show a try after hearing a few good words about it from some people I know. I have to say, If the first episode is any representation of what the show has to offer, then I was pretty disappointed. Especially now, since I'm reading some on the reviews here, people are claiming this to be "one of the best shows ever." This show seems to revolve around predictable cheap jokes with no substance. Don't get me wrong, jokes about dick-pics,smoking weed until you can't remember that you have a drug test at work the very next day, and desperately trying to find a urine sample could have potential to be VERY funny. However, I just felt the jokes felt a little forced. Like they though that if they just threw the joke in a goofy voice or quirky attitude and it's gonna automatically result in laughter. It may work for some people, sadly didn't work for me. This is the same problem I have with comedians like Daniel Tosh or Ray William Johnson, they deliver their jokes in a semi-quirky tone and expect people to laugh just because the idea was probably funny. How you present your jokes is just as important as the joke itself. Have you ever tried to retell a really funny joke to your friends and it didn't come out funny? That's because the delivery was off. This is the issue I see with this show. It definitely has potential but so far it hasn't won me over. I could see how some people could like this show but I'm totally confused as to people claiming this as one of the best shows ever.
