Trivia / Workaholics

• Actor Allusion:
  • In the episode "Webcam Girl", the song "Stay" by Lisa Loeb appears several times and Loeb herself appears very briefly having a discussion with another webcam girl which amounts to quotes of the song. "I thought that I could stay but I was wrong!"
  • Tyler Posey appears in the third season episode "Fourth and Inches" as a high school football player. The school's mascots are wolves.
  • In "Save the Cat", Adam gets a hawk and names her Beth, the same name as his character's girlfriend on another TV show.
• Actor-Inspired Element:
  • The hatred between Adam DeMamp and Montez. Adam DeVine did not like Erik Griffin, actor of Montez, before he joined the show. DeVine and Griffin knew each other from doing stand up prior to Workaholics. DeVine felt that Griffin spoke down to him for being younger and less experienced in the comedy world. But after Griffin nailed his audition for Montez, they eventually grew to be good friends. DeVine spoke on this in episode 63 of the podcast This Is Important.
  • The last name DeMamp originated from Adam DeVine's old fake ID from the early 2000s. His friend made it on photoshop, but was unable to make anything not already on the ID look realistic. Thus, he could only rearrange the letters and made Devin Dee Mamp. Adam DeVine discusses this on episode 102 of the podcast This Is Important.
  • In the episode "Snackers," Adam tells a story about when he went into Costco as a kid. The other two tell him how they already know the story, and Ders is able to mouth along the words with Adam as he tells it. In the This Is Important Podcast, Adam DeVine has a habit of re-telling stories and having the other three remind him that he had already told it on the podcast before.
  • In the episode "Friendship Anniversary," the trio faces a rat infestation, a real problem Blake and Adam had to deal with while living in the house the show was filmed in. They talk about this on their podcast This Is Important.
  • In the episode "Front Yard Wrestling," the trio gets a public access wrestling show. Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck actually did this and have referred to it as their first TV show. A clip of the wrestling show can still be found online.
  • In "The Most Dangerless Game," Anders remarks that Adam has eaten donuts out of a toilet before. In the Season 1 DVD release, there is a video in the Special Features where Adam DeVine is paid $500 from a few of the cast and crew members (notably Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck) to stick a donut in the toilet and eat it. He follows through.

• The Danza: Baring a few exceptions, every character's name is some sort of distortion of their actor's. To name a few, Adam Devine plays Adam Demamp, Blake Anderson plays Blake Henderson, Anders Holm plays Anders Holmvik, Jillian Bell plays Jillian Belk and Kyle Newacheck plays Karl Hevacheck.
• Dawson Casting: A variation on this, as the three guys are playing characters slightly but notably younger than their actual age. In "Old Man Ders", Ders turns 25 but his actor was 30.
• I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: In season 7, pretty much every guest star had previously worked with Adam: Andrew Bachelor, Nina Dobrev, Flula Borg and Laura Ashley Samuels.
  • In Episode 5 of the podcast This Is Important, it is state that the bulldog that licked Anders's butthole in the episode "Dorm Days" was played by the same dog that played Stella in Modern Family.
• Shout-Out: More of a coincidence than an actual Shout Out! In the episode "To Friend A Predator," the trio lies to Jillian that they met Topher at play rehearsal. When she ask what play they were doing, they say it was a play about softball/baseball, and it was called "Soft Pitch." After Season 1 of Workaholics aired, Adam DeVine was asked to audition for Pitch Perfect. Which he thought was a movie about baseball up until he realized he needed a song prepared for his audition.
• Star-Making Role: For Adam DeVine, and to a lesser extent Anders Holm and Jillian Bell.
• Unexplained Accent: Blake Anderson, and therefore Blake Henderson, sometimes accidently slips into a Texian accent. The cast points this out during the Season Three's DVD Commentary on the episode "The Meat Jerking Beef Boys." However, you can hear it happen most prominently during their podcast, This Is Important.
• What Could Have Been: In Season Three's DVD Commentary on the episode "The Lord's Force," Blake Anderson mentions how he would love to do a cross over with The Office or It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. But they all agreed that there would be too many "hoops" to jump through to have made that happen.
