I really don’t like Workaholics and sometimes miss The Daily Show because it being on causes me to change the channel and I forget to go back. But I don’t hold that against the actor so I moved on. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > I was probably more excited than I should have been to see Blake from “Workaholics” as the doorman at the party. That’s who he was!! Is “Workaholics” a good show? Only have had it on in the background, not really paying attention to it. ---

> [@MyFootsZZZ](#): > > That’s who he was!! Is “Workaholics” a good show? Only have had it on in the background, not really paying attention to it. I didn’t really enjoy it at first but it grew on me. The characters are dumb and likable ones in an Always Sunny kind of way. It makes me laugh pretty consistently. [Here’s a good Workaholics clip.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML_yKt_SzvI) ---

I laughed when Chang told the DJ he looked like a friend and the DJ said, “You’re friends with Moby?” ---

I saw half of the first episode, was like “this is completely stupid” and never went back. From the clip I can see what you mean about a similarity with _Always Sunny_. And I love _Always Sunny_. But somehow these guys just aren’t pulling it off. ---

The first season of Workaholics was so funny, I laughed myself sick. I watched the first episode of the second season and it just wasn’t the same. ---

Ok, that was Jim rash playing the DJ, right? Because afterwards, I started wondering if it was really Moby doing a weird cameo. ---

> [@obfusciatrist](#): > > I think my problem with what has happened with Chang is that while everybody else is a caricature of a personality type, they are just big versions of real people. Chang doesn’t seem to be an extension of anything real. > > I just don’t find anything he does particularly funny any more. I’m hoping he’s the one who dies and they bring back John Oliver a lot more. Agreed with everything you said. Chang is useless, unfunny, dead weight and a needless plot distraction. Granted I feel that way every time Ken Jeong is on screen. ---

> [@Crawlspace](#): > > Chang is useless, unfunny, dead weight and a needless plot distraction. I agree. I liked him as a teacher in the first season (as “Senor Chang”), but after the gang stopped taking Spanish, I think they should have dropped the character. Second season he’s a student, this season a security guard. What next? ---

Sen~or Chang was funny. Pathetic Loser Chang was not funny. Chang needs his ego back. To put this in Chang Speak: {Chang} + {Class who has to listen and pay attention to him} = {Chang with ego} = Funny. {Chang} + {Backpack} = {Pathetic Lose Chang} = Not Funny {Chang} + {Army} = {Chang with ego} = Funny. Hail Chang! Hail Chang! Chang needs the Black Shorts.
