ComedyCentral WorkCom following the exploits of three college graduate {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s Adam, Anders, and Blake. The three all work at a telemarketing company, but they spend most of their time getting drunk, doing drugs, and pulling pranks.
The show was based on the [[WebOriginal Web Show]] ''5thyear'' and is generally described as a sort of SpiritualSuccessor to ''OfficeSpace'', [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs but on drugs]]. It premiered on ComedyCentral on April 6, 2011, to a mixed-to-positive critical response.
Not to be confused with a {{Workaholic}}, which this show's main characters ''definitely'' aren't.

!!''{{Workaholics}}'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Montez, the boys' co-worker. He has a Spanish surname, but acts stereotypically black. (JiveTurkey accent and all)
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
-->'''Alice''': I'm gonna eat your balls for breakfast tomorrow, with my Grape Nuts. Then I'm gonna murder you. Then I'm gonna fire you.
* BadBoss: Alice regularly insults her employees both passively and outright.
* ButtMonkey: Waymond.
* CatchPhrase: "Tight butthole/loose butthole" definitely comes to mind.
** Blake and calling people "dumb idiots."
* CloudCuckooLander: Blake and Adam's drug dealer and friend, Karl.
* TheDanza: The three main characters are all named after their respective actors. Also, Jillian.
* DeadpanSnarker: The boys' boss, Alice.
* DontExplainTheJoke: When the boys pull a "Poop Dollar" prank on someone (they wrap a dollar around poop and then leave it on the ground for someone to pick up or step on), one of them shouts "See we poop in the dollar!" as the victim runs away. When it happens again, they all yell "POOP DOLLAR" as they drive away.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Blake was confused for Anders' wife by an older employee in "The Strike".
* FanService: Blake's striptease at the beginning of "Checkpoint Gnarly." Really, in any given episode there's a pretty good chance Blake will end up at least a little naked.
* InSeriesNickname: "Ders." Anders is hardly ever called by his full name.
* LastNameBasis: Montez.
** Actually, "Montez" is his first name. His full name is "Montez Walker" as we learned in "We Be Ballin", the episode his character was introduced in.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: The drug tester gets ''reeeeally'' close to Adam when he's peeing into a cup.
* OnlySaneMan: Anders, to some extent. He also seems to take his job a bit more seriously than Adam and Blake, and doesn't seem to take drugs as much. But he still does them.
* PrettyInMink: Blake's bear jacket. '''''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny "BITCH BETTA HAVE MY HONEY !"]]'''''
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Surprisingly, Alice, who has retained her staff (even Anders, Adam, and Blake) despite numerous emails from Corporate telling her to trim the dead weight.
