Ep 5. Checkpoint Gnarly

The show Workaholics revolves around the daily lives of three friends, Adam, Blake, and Anders, who work as telemarketers at TelAmeriCorp. They are characterized by their stoner behavior, lack of ambition, and numerous schemes to avoid doing any actual work.

Season 1, episode 5 of Workaholics is titled "Checkpoint Gnarly." The episode starts with the guys feeling bored and unsatisfied with their daily routine, which leads them to come up with an adventurous plan to spice things up. They decide to buy a van and convert it into a party-mobile, dubbing it "Checkpoint Gnarly."

Their plan is to drive to a nearby music festival and do drugs, party, and have a general good time. However, things start to go awry when they realize that they don't have enough money to buy tickets to the festival. This leads them to come up with a desperate plan - they decide to sneak in by dressing up as security guards.

Their plan works, and they manage to get into the festival without much trouble. However, things start to get chaotic when they get too high and start messing around with the festival-goers. They even start a mock-gang war between two groups of fans, which leads to a full-blown fight.

Meanwhile, Anders meets a girl named Laura, who seems to be interested in him. However, when he finds out that she is a member of the security team, he begins to panic, fearing that she will catch him in his fake disguise. He even goes to the extent of asking his friends to fake a kidnapping, but they refuse to go along with his plan.

As the night progresses, the guys find themselves in increasingly bizarre situations, including one where they accidentally consume hallucinogenic mushrooms and end up seeing weird visions. Their drug-induced behavior causes them to behave erratically, leading to them being banned from the festival.

In the end, they manage to escape unscathed and return to their regular lives, but not before realizing that their life is not as boring as they had previously thought. The episode ends with them driving through the city in their van, with Adam stating that he has a "map to a party every night" and that they should never again underestimate the power of their own creativity.

In conclusion, "Checkpoint Gnarly" is a typical Workaholics episode filled with humor, hijinks, and drug-induced shenanigans. The episode showcases the trio's mischievous and fun-loving personalities while highlighting the dangers of overindulgence in drugs and alcohol. It's an enjoyable episode that perfectly encapsulates the overall vibe of the show.
