The slacker comedy Workaholics lasted seven seasons, ending in 2017. These are the best episodes of the entire show.
Workaholics found started its life as a YouTube web series called The 5th Year before Comedy Central picked it up as a series. The show was co-created by its four stars Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck. Adam, Blake and Anders play three college dropouts who not only live together but also work at the same telemarketing company.
