WorkaholicsAdam2956 karma
It's a lot of work to maintain the perfect amount of comedy neck fat.
WorkaholicsAnders2691 karma
We were talking about how arbitrary it is that people say TITS instead of COOL. So we were thinking, why don't people just say TIGHT BUTTHOLE. Then we put it in the show. And geographically, this happened in Los Angeles.
Expressive_Pineapple1707 karma
In the poolside fight scene did you actually have boners? Or is there some sort of boner simulating device that you used?
goingTofu1650 karma
How much of the show is improv?
edit: Also, what are some of the best improv moments that made it to the final cut?
WorkaholicsAdam2067 karma
We improv a ton on the show but we also write a tight script and then once we get it how we've written it we get strange and and do some bizarre shit. Thats when we find the really weird little moments that make our show a lil different.
classicduster1541 karma
If you guys and the 'It's Always Sunny' crew went toe-to-toe who walks away the winner.
WorkaholicsAdam2823 karma
We're younger but those guys are ripped and im pretty sure a few of them have dad strength.
WorkaholicsBlake1913 karma
Thats the homie Lavell Crawfords secret recipe but if I had to guess I bet there's a lotta Lawrys.
highwoodelf1388 karma
So do you guys ever smoke real pot instead of prop stuff? And just off topic , Ders Im also a dry guy so dont Let the boys single you out !
WorkaholicsAdam2500 karma
I smoke real ass weeeeeed maaaan. Just not while we're shooting. I'm a stupid stoner. I literally cant even string sentences together while I'm stoned. I just like to giggle and watch movies.
liesaremuchmorefun1325 karma
Who chooses the songs for the show's soundtrack? They're all majorly righteous.
WorkaholicsAnders1867 karma
We do. Shot out to our music dept for finding a lot of those songs though.
mrrandom20101310 karma
BLAKE, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET YOUR HAIR TO BE SO FUCKING AWESOME?!
WorkaholicsAnders2666 karma
No, it's not accurate. Blake and Kyle grew up together in the Bay Area and met Adam in Orange County at Orange Coast in an Improv class. Then I met Adam in LA at Second City LA. Then we all fucked each other's brains out and invented the show.
PsychedelicAmpersand1163 karma
What was it like being on Arrested Development? How awesome is the new season going to be? How much of that awesomeness is directly related to your presence?
EDIT: Also, favorite guest star to work with on Workaholics? Any chance any of those characters could return?
WorkaholicsAnders1844 karma
Being on Arrested was unreal. Was waiting for Beiber to pop out and punk us. Can't wait to see it. Mitch Hurwitz is a human genius. Jason Bateman is effortlessly hilarious.
WorkaholicsAdam2368 karma
Thats the plan. We wrote a movie together and hope to shoot it this year.
Entnonymous1109 karma
Would you continue to pay $250/hr to hang out with Lori Beth Denberg?
hippotitz1055 karma
What is something that you wanted to put in the show and Comedy Central canned it for being too offensive? Does that happen often or do you guys have pretty free reign?
manduhrinorange1042 karma
are there any celebs you've encountered that you were surprised were fans of the show?
WorkaholicsAdam2148 karma
The Black keys are fans and have invited us out to shows and to kick it with them. That was pretty cool.
kais33966 karma
How can a young professional like myself break into the telemarketing game?
WorkaholicsAdam1974 karma
Viacom be beefing with Netflix. Hopefully the squash it and give you guys the goods.
WorkaholicsAdam1606 karma
He is a conductor for the railroad and his name is Dennis. Great dude.
Quacktastic69879 karma
Be honest. Who's got the biggest dick?
Edit: I'll accept flaccid size if you guys don't want to hold your boners together right now.
WorkaholicsAdam1961 karma
We'll none of us are dads yet so pretty normal/medium huged sized. Just speaking for myself.
MonkeysWithFaces876 karma
How did it evolve that the three of you are the stars and Kyle just does appearances? Does he harbor any resentment about it?
WorkaholicsBlake1706 karma
He's our director, thats what he likes to do, at least thats what he tells us.
edwardhasnewgoggles799 karma
Hey guys! Kudos on having the best comedy show out there!
How did you guys come across working with Jillian Bell? Her delivery is so awesome on the show. Do you write her lines or does she do her own thing sometimes?
BTW, if you get tired today RICE.
WorkaholicsAnders997 karma
we met her in a live comedy show in LA in 2006 (maybe) where she was in another sketch group. she's the best.
WorkaholicsAdam1935 karma
Trying to get a show still or working on a movie or a weed dealer.
WorkaholicsBlake1655 karma
delivering pizza and making Mail Order Comedy videos on the weekends with Adam Kyle and Ders.
WorkaholicsAnders1589 karma
i'd probably still be at Real Time with Bill Maher (where i worked when the show was picked up), but hopefully not still as an assistant and as a writer.
gigglestick90718 karma
Do you guys have Xbox? And more importantly, what are your gamertags?
lilokes686 karma
Why did they leave out Karl in the AMA? Karl is a badass directer and the guy from that T-Shirt.
WorkaholicsAdam1527 karma
He's dead to us... but mostly because he's directing an episode of "happy endings"
Doomsun670 karma
No question, and this will get buried, but Blake times have sure changed since you used to deliver me sandwiches from Socko's in Westwood.
HexaShay670 karma
What kind of music do you all agree on and is there a specific band or artist?
JerrHanes659 karma
Was "Workaholics" your only idea for a show or did you have other amazing ideas that obviously didn't make it?
demerdar650 karma
Your show is fucking hilarious. Keep up the great work.
Do you guys ever smoke/drink on set or during shooting? Some scenes Adam looks insanely stoned.
WorkaholicsAdam1702 karma
No. I'm just one of those guys that has stoned face all the time.
theseven7777777632 karma
You guys should hit up SNL and do an episode together. It'd be awesome seeing you guys live
WorkaholicsBlake1430 karma
thatd be real cool but I'm pretty sure SNL would have to hit us up :(
goingTofu584 karma
When you were doing Mail Order Comedy, was it in the hopes that it would be seen by someone and you'd get picked up for a show? Or was is just for fun and you all had "realistic" plans for your future?
WorkaholicsAdam1203 karma
None of us had any " Realistic" plans. This is what we wanted to do and we took our lil comedy videos serious as fug. We worked hard on them and churned out a lot of content in a relatively short period of time. I think thats why comedy central trusted us with a show.
WorkaholicsAnders1029 karma
We've always wanted world domination. So we're moving up that ladder. None of us had " realistic plans" fo rthe future, which might be why we made it thru to the other side.
imsweetinreality532 karma
Love the mid 80's to mid 90's pop culture references. Are there any more obscure blasts from the past this season???! the tightest buttholes btw!
markwolf82398 karma
Hey Adam and Blake, it was great meeting you both last month on set for our walk-on role (charity winners)! You guys were totally awesome to us; we will remember that experience forever. To bad Ders and Kyle weren't there, maybe next time! :)
Any plans to do a Canada episode, or a road trip episode of any sort? We love being made fun of and there are some classic episodes out there from other shows, lol! Take care!
WorkaholicsAnders1405 karma
Shooting the flashback ep was a good time. Watching Adam fuck a chick off a high dive is something I've ALWAYS needed to see.
Satan_Loves_U338 karma
A question for Adam: According to your Wikipedia page, you actually did major in human sexuality before dropping out. How much pussy did you get in that class?
WorkaholicsAdam1216 karma
Thats a wiki lie. I studied beer bongs, screenwriting, and improv in community college.
WorkaholicsBlake869 karma
if you look very closely in the last scene when we bust through the fence on the hovercraft you can see it kickin it in the corner
WorkaholicsBlake786 karma
I liked Man Up cause we got to rip around the canyons in that badass car.
oe1hunnid262 karma
Can you guys please get Riff Raff in an episode? That shit would write itself.
Erimaj213 karma
Dear Adam,
I saw you when you came to Baton Rouge to film. It's was pretty cool cause you're on tv and like I'm not the only who knows you which makes you a little famous and I respect that shit man. You filmed inside my drug dealers house too. Will you fuck my girlfriend?
ross-the-sauce-boss208 karma
Who does the beatboxing before and after the commercial break?
yanksnjets27179 karma
Just wanted to say anders, I've gotten a lot of good music since I followed you. Got any other suggestions?
FosterChild69165 karma
Yo Adam I went to see Pitch Perfect, and my girlfriend kept saying that the lead singer of the TrebleMakers looked a lot like Channing Tatum. Where does being told you look like Channing Tatum rank on your lifetime accomplishments?
WorkaholicsAdam824 karma
3rd right after "you look like the terminator" and "you gotta fat dick"
F_Gooner152 karma
Anders I just wanted to say that the swim team at Wisconsin exclusively talks about you. At every party. All the time. Some even throwout the occasional "oh yeah we hung out"
WorkaholicsAnders344 karma
W on my cap til i die. Say wassup to the towel dude at the SERF for me.
gabe05131 karma
How many props did you have to add to make the house look trashy (or trashy-er)?
nnicolet85 karma
MOST EMBARRASSING STORY YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO TELL US ON THE INTERNET? GO.
WorkaholicsAdam545 karma
I shit my pants before going on stage to do stand up once. I dug it out of my pants and threw it in a potted plant.
TheButtiestMan61 karma
I've seen some clips of Adam's stand-up but never been able to locate a place to watch or purchase a full set for any of you. Is there a place/site I could watch such material?
You guys are fucking hysterical.
WorkaholicsAdam205 karma
I might be doing a stand up show for comedy central. If it all works out you can check me out there.
frogma55 karma
Not to blow my own horn and spit my own mucous here, but I think Adam's the best "facial" actor that I've ever seen -- better even than Jim Carrey.
I don't have any questions because I don't need to ask any, but I want you guys to know that you're supremely talented actors, especially compared to other comedies. Looking at some of your early stuff, it's clear that you guys have a good vibe together -- but when you get more people behind it like on Workaholics, it all comes together perfectly. Keep doing what you're doing, and here's hoping that that style of humor becomes the norm.
engli10149 karma
Adam, I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, my cousins went to Millard South like you did. But I learned something about you and me on Thanksgiving that astonished me. Want to know what it was?
ThizzIsWhatItIs27 karma
Yo Blake I saw you're from the Bay....any love for Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina?
pineapplemushroomman2112 karma
adama, when did you first realize you were attractive enough to be a celebrity but ugly enough to still be funny?
