This workplace series premiered on Comedy Central in 2011 as a chaotic explosion of vulgarity, but while the structure became a bit less scattershot over the years, this seventh and final season proves that the show remained unremittingly crude to the very end. Workaholics' trio of pseudo-heroes (Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine, and Anders Holm) are still employed at a telemarketing firm, where their perpetually exasperated boss (Maribeth Monroe) continues to put up with their shenanigans. The aging slackers do no work, devoting their lives to smoking weed, partying, and playing pranks in the office. The first episode here finds them reacting with horror when younger trainees outdo them at their own game, and the second centers on how they (and their drug supplier) respond when forced to sell a silly device invented by their boss's father (Dennis Quaid, one in a series of guest stars that also includes Topher Grace, Cary Elwes, and Jason Mantzoukas). Other episodes venture outside the office, such as a mountain cabin where the three perceive Evil Dead-style danger lurking, and a wacky action-adventure spoof that is set in Chinatown. Workaholics finishes like it began—as a gross-out comedy celebrating stupidity and irresponsibility. Compiling all 10 episodes from 2017, extras include deleted scenes and outtakes. A strong optional purchase. (F. Swietek)
