Three share-house slackers, one couch, and the world’s most relaxed reaction to getting “very fired” — a comedy about doing the absolute minimum, together.
Workaholics-grade slacker naturalism — three guys who do the absolute minimum, together.
The story
Steve, Roy and Mike share a couch and a comprehensive lack of ambition. When Steve lands an interview for a job near Mike’s office — carpool dreams, a “sweet setup” — Mike casually detonates it: he doesn’t work there anymore, having been “like, very fired,” just now. Employment is a dry, naturalistic slacker sitcom in the Workaholics vein, mining big laughs from small stakes and impeccable share-house banter. Cheap to make, endlessly repeatable, and voiced with real comic precision. A Solar Storm property.

“Swore at a customer. I said ‘have you really been standing here a full minute and not pushed the lift button’? No, ‘cunting’ lift button.”
