Workaholics (2011–2017)

Suuuuuuper Funny.

[10/10 · 4 May 2011]

Irreverent to everything, including itself, this show takes a light look at the harsh reality for most 20somethings. (like when they're wondering how they're going to get clean urine when everyone their age smokes pot. Word, right?) It's refreshing, constantly funny and well-acted. With three slackers as the main characters, it's nice to see each one slack in their own style, be it uptight, mellow or on the edge. (ders, blake and adam). I'd have to agree with other reviewers that I hope Adam tones down the funny-cuz-im-loud aspect. He does it well, and it's usually funny, but it won't be quickly. I get the fratboy lifestyle mocking though.

By the way, austin312's review is clearly an SEO for the show.

Puff, Puff, Pass (2006)

A solid stoner film

[7/10 · 13 July 2007]

7.5, really.

I think this is a really solid stoner movie. It has the 'quest' elements that good stoner movies have and it's a worthy quest - a shawshank redemption ("the shank") marathon on TNT that they just -have- to see.

I didn't find the jokes stale. The jokes themselves aren't all incredibly innovative but I thought Danny Masterson's acting lifted a lot of them to a higher level. Great comedic timing and he says a lot without saying it.

It would have received a higher grade if the ending didn't feel rushed.

Oh, and worth watching just for the -terrific-, but small, performances of John C. McGinley as scam artist, Ben Tolpin as Mikey and Terry Crews as a wanna-be rapper.

Recommended.
