Adam makes this clear when he uses gayness as an insult in the episode’s most emotional conflict, saying he doesn’t want to be a “fairy wizard” with Anders and Blake. In contrast to Becker’s idea of the modern bromance, Workaholics gives the idea that gayness may not actually be okay. While this isn’t homophobic, it is so heterosexual that a gay man might feel uncomfortably out of place hanging out with these bros, like Michael in Bromance. In addition, the guys talk about boobs and objectify women together. Blake expresses jealousy, re-affirming that heterosexuality is cool and desireable. A lot of the humor in this show happens when the three oddball characters try to assert hypermasculinity and fail miserably.Īdam does this by talking waaaay too much about how much sex he’s having with his ‘milf,’ and Anders does this by putting on a strut and saying he’s going to “go Old Norse” (how manly!) and seduce Adam’s girlfriend. In agreement with Becker’s argument, the discourse in Workaholics is pretty heterosexual in a way that excludes possible homosexuality from this type of bromance.įirst of all, in Workaholics, heterosexuality is a way of asserting masculinity.
