It seems like they are running out of steam despite the cameos they've had this season. The show has just gotten too stupid and reliant on outlandish stuff. Besides the Stan Halen episode last season I can't think of a memorable episode since season two.

Hasn't it always been this way though?

I think it drastically fell off after Season 2, but there are still some funny episodes every now and then.

This seasons episode with Jack Black was hilarious.

It was a lot more toned down through the first couple of seasons.

I watched workaholics for the first time a couple of months ago. I loved it when I first started it, couldn't believe that I was missing out on this show. But after about 2 seasons it got stale for me real quick, their shtick got old and I lost interest. stopped after season 2

Far too little of Jillian and Alice, IMO. Those broads are funny, and play off each other well.

I agree with this. I find myself wondering why I watch it anymore at times. I'll watch it with my wife sitting next to me and she can't figure out why I watch the show. Maybe I'm looking at the past with rose colored glasses, but it seemed so much better. Adam didn't seem like a retarded dick joke machine, Ders was more of the straight man, and Blake was pretty much the same.

I think Sunny went throug the same thing, but is on the upswing again. Sunny actually had a pretty good episode this season where they aluded to everyone thinking the show was better back in the day. It fit in the story, but they made comments about how before Frank, their schemes made sense. They even brought up the time they had underage kids in the bar.

Hopefully, Workaholics can get the magic back.

I guess. I've watched since the beginning but I've always thought of it as a stupid nonsensical show. There's no way these guys would still have jobs otherwise.

The first 2 or 3 seasons were absolute gold. Many times I was beside myself laughing. It's just kinda run its course. The humor has been the same the entire series, so really there's only so many times they can do the same kinda things before it's not as funny anymore.

I still watch, but it's not near the level it started.

Slap yourself for using that phrase, please.


I think this season has been solid so far.

And you blast the show's stupidity and outlandishness, yet name the Stan Halen episode as one you like. WTF?

This is pretty much my exact experience with the show. I blasted through the first 2-3 seasons and now I have to force myself to finish it.

There's little to no difference between the characters and nothing new to bring to the table...it's one long "loose butthole" or dick joke.

I think it's hilarious . I like the dialogue and wackiness . And the characters . Season 4 was pretty good and 3 . I hope it's gets more seasons . It's one of the best comedies on tv. And Sunny
