Hardly Working was a comedy show from College Humor that aired between 2007 and 2011. It starred Pat Cassels, Dan Gurewitch, and Streeter Seidell - three of College Humor's most popular writers and comedians. The show followed the daily lives of these three characters as they tried to navigate the ups and downs of their jobs, relationships, and everything in between.

At its core, Hardly Working was a sketch comedy show. Each episode was made up of several short skits, each featuring the three main characters in different scenarios. The skits were often absurd and nonsensical, and always aimed to entertain and amuse.

One of the standout features of Hardly Working was the chemistry between Cassels, Gurewitch, and Seidell. The three were longtime collaborators, and their friendship and camaraderie shone through in every episode. They had a unique, offbeat sense of humor that was both smart and silly, and their comedic timing was impeccable.

Some of the most memorable skits from Hardly Working included "Bad Batman," in which the trio portrayed a bumbling version of the Caped Crusader and his sidekicks, and "My New Haircut," a parody of Jersey Shore and the "bro" culture that was popular at the time. They also frequently tackled topical issues and current events, such as the swine flu epidemic and the 2008 presidential election.

While the skits were undoubtedly the main attraction of Hardly Working, the show also had a loose overarching storyline that tied everything together. Cassels, Gurewitch, and Seidell played fictionalized versions of themselves, working at the offices of College Humor and dealing with the various challenges and hijinks that come with that. These segments provided a bit of continuity and helped to ground the show in reality, even as it frequently veered off into absurdity.

Another notable aspect of Hardly Working was its production values. While the show was low-budget, the team behind it made the most of what they had. The skits often featured clever special effects and costumes, and the writing was consistently sharp and clever. Additionally, the show occasionally incorporated animation and other visual gags that added another layer of humor.

Overall, Hardly Working was a hilarious and irreverent sketch comedy show that showcased the talents of some of College Humor's most beloved writers and personalities. While it may have ended its run several years ago, the show remains a beloved cult classic, and a must-watch for fans of absurd, offbeat humor.
