Why is That ’70s Show so popular?

Workaholics: When stoners grow up (or not)

The Workaholics, three friends, work in a call center, party hard and smoke pot through the week. Workaholics is the wild, loud successor – instead of garage and teen circles, there are office bongs and growing up with a full stop. Much cruder, but with similarly wacky group dynamics humor.

  • Rough comedy with lots of smoke
  • Modern successor with more chaos
  • To the series: Workaholics
