Traditional
Primary
Workaholics is a character-driven comedy centered on the personal antics and friendship of three young men avoiding adult responsibilities. The show's humor stems from their individual choices and interactions rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies, resulting in a largely apolitical stance.
The series features a predominantly white main cast without explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative centers on the comedic misadventures of its characters, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
Workaholics features incidental LGBTQ+ themes, primarily through jokes and plot points that use perceived queer identity or stereotypes for comedic effect. The humor often stems from characters' discomfort with male intimacy or relies on homophobic undertones, without offering significant critique. The net impact is negative due to the problematic nature of these depictions.
Workaholics features a recurring character consistently referred to by a derogatory slur and depicted as a sex worker, reinforcing harmful stereotypes. The portrayal uses the character's identity as a source of crude humor, lacking dignity or complexity, resulting in a negative net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Workaholics is an original comedy series that premiered in 2011. It does not adapt any pre-existing source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for the show, therefore no gender swaps occurred.
