This Comedy Central series charts the antics of college buddies Anders, Blake, and Adam (played by co-creators/producers Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Adam DeVine), who are killing time after graduation—sharing a cubicle at a telemarketing firm by day and getting drunk and stupid in their shared domicile the rest of the time. The fact that they are able to hold onto their jobs while actively avoiding work in plain view of their exasperated boss (Maribeth Monroe) is part of the joke: they constantly exceed expectations because the bar is set so low. The humor here generally revolves around the trio's blithely inappropriate behavior, social obliviousness, and copious substance abuse, which only compounds their tendency to make poor decisions. Compiling all 20 episodes—originally aired in 2011—on Blu-ray (the series was also released on DVD in two separate season sets), extras include audio commentaries (called “drunkmentary” on the discs), cast interviews, deleted and alternate scenes, and featurettes. Not particularly clever, this is optional, at best. (S. Axmaker)
