That time David Spa put David Bowie his placeOffEnglishThere is a lot of homoeroticism on Workaholics.
But spe all the man-love proximy, Workaholics go to great edic lengths to separate s characters’ fascatn wh male bodi and “dad dicks” om homosexualy—which they still appear eply unfortable wh. The homoerotic scen are always weighed down wh a wkg sense that what the characters are dog is funny bee they’re approachg what n be a ser issue whout any distractg gravas, and that lazs is where the trouble week the guys are obssed wh the Lord’s Force, sentially God’s Amerin Gladiators or a Christian World's Strongt Man exposn, which performs feats of strength church. For whatever reason, our tr of stoog fds mcle-bound men displayg feats of strength toxitg—but absolutely not a gay way, not that there’s anythg wrong wh that.
Workaholics’ approach to the whole array of gay jok is jt tryg to rack up a bunch of sight gags and one-lers to make jok as the tr’s admiratn for Ram and Samson turns to disfort as they bee entrenched their extend getaway at the hoe. It’s a rctive pictn of homosexualy spe the “be te to yourself” endg for Ram and Samson as they lift the 1, 000-pound cross and kiss unrneath .
WORKAHOLICS: “GAYBORHOOD”
He’s the most obliv to Ram and Samson’s homosexualy.
When he tch them about to shower together, he says they’re nservg water, and when they lie to themselv about gog through a gay phase orr to get their jobs back, Adam is quick to jump on board that explanatn, bee “dus wh giant mcl are never gay. Blake is jt unfortable wh the sounds of gay sex, but vehemently voic his approval of Ram and Samson’s nsummated is the se wh most episos of Workaholics, the show is makg fun of Adam’s pathetic nial and huiatg public displays of weakns, but ’s jt not that funny to watch. They reprent the people who say they’re “super-fortable” wh homosexualy but still treat gay people as repellent, not unlike Nick DiPaolo’s “character” that Louie scene.
In overg their squabbl to perform the awful yet heartfelt song “Bt Friends, ” the guys enpsulated their bond perfectly a moment of transcenntly stupid some ways, “Gayborhood” is another, even bolr, examatn of that dynamic, all the guise of a hackneyed gay panic plot that uld have veered to offensivens but, stead, provis the guys wh what’s easily their most affectg moments ever.
WORKAHOLICS: “GAYBORHOOD” (EPISO 5.05)
Easily the strangt episo of Workaholics I’ve seen, ”Gayborhood” might also be the bt. Once they don their ready ultimate fightg t-shirts and load up wh 12-packs, the guys (after sgg an extend, improvised “How are we not ved” song for a long time) burst to the party, stead fdg a quietly ftive gatherg of gay men.
Except that don’ hearg tell of ee food and an open bar, Blake lnch to a stereotypil gay guy accent to ga accs, Adam and Ders followg su. Now, the “brayg manchildren mixg wh gay guys” plot has been the wellsprg of a lot of soul-ang edy over the years, but “Gayborhood, ” wrten by Craig DiGregor, steers liberately around the pfalls. The party’s hosts Stt and Joey (Tim Bagley and Michael Urie), immediately ss out that their unved guts aren’t gay (well, Adam might be a bottom), but let them stay.
