In Workaholic's season 2 episode 7, titled "Teenage Mutant Ninja Roommates," the trio of slacker friends – Blake, Adam, and Anders – are in a dire financial situation. They cannot afford their rent, which leads to them having a new roommate, Gil, who is much younger than them.
The three friends, who are already struggling to get their act together, must now deal with this new awkward dynamic as they try to make ends meet. The uncomfortably embarrassing situation only gets worse when Gil starts to believe he is a ninja. Right from the start, Gil's horned obsession with ninja culture is apparent. He even goes as far as decorating the room with posters and weapons. This new dynamic drives the three friends crazy as Gil's outbursts and erratic behaviour becomes too much for them to handle.
In an effort to make ends meet, they try to sell a suit they found in their apartment. They soon realize that it belongs to a gang of thieves, who want it back, leading to the three friends having to come up with a way to get the suit back while still dealing with Gil.
