What We Think

Workaholics is far from a woke showcase. It relies on crude, irreverent humor and doesn’t bother with forced messaging or identity politics. If anything, it’s the opposite of today’s trendy scripted comedies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Workaholics doesn't make any noticeable sacrifices to narrative or character for the sake of woke themes. The humor and storylines focus on the antics of three male friends, with nothing feeling forced for representation points. It's very much rooted in classic slacker comedy territory.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show often pokes fun at traditional values and workplace culture, but it’s more irreverent than ideologically driven. Masculinity and social norms are lampooned, but not in a way that seriously undermines cultural foundations, you get more jokes than lectures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of an ideological monoculture in Workaholics. The show embraces a diversity of poor decision-making rather than pushing any particular worldview, and traditional or non-woke characters aren’t vilified, they’re in on the fun (or at least the nonsense).
