WorkahoLEAKS - Alice Quits

Way-mond about to get Way-layed.  

In "Alice Quits", the guys fun and gunned their way to a new boss; even if it was just a temporary reign.  What went into making the episode?  What was Waymond's first scripted line?  Where was Alice?  Original ending??!!?

Read on for a 5-rated episodic performance review...

Waymond speaks!  Sort of.  Waymond's first scripted-line, "Get Down!", was never heard because of the slo-mo style of the scene.  And the food in his mouth.  Hey, he may not have said more than a gargled mishmash of breakfast mush.  We'll never know...

Bruce Benson, TelAmeriCorp CEO (played by Chris Parnell) heads the telemarketing firm; and Cool Eric is the on-site HR Head.  Where does Daniel Stern's Travis Rockne fit into the mix?  He was envisioned as Regional Manager-type, and his days in Rancho Cucamonga could be far from over.

Early story discussions had Adam, Blake and Ders going to Alice's home to plead with her to come back to the office; others had them going to her new job, which at one point would have been in a popular restaurant chain's kitchen.

ORIGINAL ENDING -- Jillian drags a bunch of screen grabs from her desktop and puts them in a folder marked "Guys' Dicks".  

All in all, we're glad Alice didn't really quit.  Because it's just a TV show and for a character to quit would mean they became sentient and break the fourth wall, and if Alice could become real, so could Aliens.  And Predators.  And then no one's safe.

WorkahoLEAKS - A TelAmerican Horror Story

Was it just the renovations?   

Read on for all kinds of behind-the-scenes bits that went into the making and telling of "A TelAmerican Horror Story".

And if you're asking me?  It was just the renovations.  I was there.  It happened.  Let's not let it haunt us anymore than it has to, the week was terrifying, but it's over.   How terrifying?...

DP 10, or DR Pepper 10 as some call it, was not a product placement deal; it stemmed from a Writer's Room bit about the commercials being so men-focused, or even anti-women, that it ended up being written into the show with the thought being Adam, Ders, and Blake are the type of guys who would listen to a soda commercial as gospel.  "For Men Only!", indeed!  

Bill's cards were almost for a Wedding DJ service, a Dog Walking, or Lawn Mowing business.  Since this was filmed before "Booger Nights", his Robot Mime from Weekend Bill wasn't finalized yet, or the cards would have likely foreshadowed that second-career choice.

The Snappy Construction Worker was played by Workaholics' own Patrick Heffernan, our Key Grip. You may know his older brother.

Adam Devine's own Mom and Dad cameoed in the episode as an office worker and construction worker, respectively.  Adam swiped the non-dairy creamer from his mother in a way to suggest he wanted her to commit to the part.  She did.  Way to go, Mrs. Devine!

DID YOU KNOW: The "NICE!" at the end of every episode over the Mail Order Comedy vanity card is read by Adam's Dad?

WorkahoLEAKS - BOOGER NIGHTS

Original Title:"The TAC Roast of Bill S."  Montez originally messed his pants, but once the booger train rolled through, it took over the title and actions.  It's still the grossest thing the show's ever done, IMO, and I've never been able to watch it.

Instead of a gun, there was talk of Bill having a working grenade as his threat; but then we wanted to see an actual explosion, which costs money, and, well, as you'll see in future episodes we destroy a lot of stuff as is.

B-Rad wasn't B-ack until very late in the story process; but everyone was thrilled to have him and another return has not been ruled out. B-Rad could be the Harry the Hat from Cheers of Workaholics, in a reference 4 people will get.

Waymond had a page-long, profanity-filled roast of Bill that was never actually written but would have used all the letter-first words so the entire thing was bleeped out and you never heard him talk.

When the guys go to spy on Bill, we were to meet Bill's oft-discussed roommates, Damon and Felix, but there scene was cut for time.

Jillian's outfit was described as "Sandman Simms" in the script. I thought she looked more like a fun Blossom, though.  Not a diss.  

The entire episode is a chapter from B-Rad's cop novel and never actually happened... OR DID IT?!?!
