Workin' Stiff Goes Back To College

"**Workin' Stiff Goes Back To College**" is the first episode of the second season of ***Workin' Stiff and Friends*** and the the eighth episode of the series overall.

## Sypnosis

**Workin' Stiff**, **Workin' Hard**, and **Workin' Lazy** aren't quite elligible for full-time jobs, so they go back to **the Weirdtown College of America** in order to get their degrees in engineering.

## Creation

Originally, ***Workin' Stiff and Friends: The Toronto Raptors Special*** was planned to be the comeback episode of the series. *However*, it is currently unknown what is going to happen to that episode, as the episode was been scheduled to release for a long time, but has never came out as of the writing of this article.

This episode was inspired by cartoons that take place at a school, like ***Recess*** and ***Timothy Goes To School***. It was also inspired by college, and how it can be deemed as "unbearable" for college students, either sometimes or extremely often.

## Trivia

* The main reason as to why *this* episode is the comeback episode instead of The Toronto Raptors Special is because that the episode was much easier to make than it, and that it has a much shorter runtime.
* This is the first appearance of **Yusuke Kitagawa**, **Robotnik**, **Uniqua**, **Mr. Holmes**, **Dan Kuso**, **Motorcycle Droid**, **Hothead** and **Mr. Rabbid & The Sidon Bunch** in the Workin' Stiff and Friends series.
	+ Yusuke Kitagawa is noticeably fat in this episode. This is because of how he has ate **WingStop** during his lunch breaks when he still worked there.
		- A Pengas is on his desk, which is a reference to how he owns one (named Robotnik) in the series.
			* Later on, though, he owns **Ruferu** instead. It is unknown what will happen to Robotnik after the show ends.
	+ Uniqua, Dan Kuso, Motorcycle Droid, and Hothead were all included for miscellaneous reasons, though mainly for the fact that John Tvs thought that they would be funny to include.
		- Uniqua is later included as a McDonald's employee in "***The McDonald's Scandal***".
* Mr. Holmes is **Sherlock Holmes** from ***Sherlock***, a critically-acclaimed British drama crime series that aired from **July 25th, 2010** to **January 25th, 2017**.
	+ Additionally, there is also a reference to the series hidden in the shot of Workin' Stiff's house from many episodes. It is **the name of a company on one of the buildings located in the background**.
	+ It is also a joke throughout the episode that he is an "engineering teacher", however, he is *only* an engineering design teacher.
		- This means that **The Fat Cat** may have graduated from his engineering design course as well as future engineering courses, as he is noticably good at building robots later on in the series, including Workin' Stiff's Metal Sonic-like arch-nemesis, **Beadon**.
		- This also means that **Workin' Stiff**, **Yusuke Kitagawa**, **Robotnik**, **Uniqua**, **Mr. Holmes**, **Dan Kuso**, **Motorcycle Droid**, and **Hothead** want to take engineering in the future.
		- **Workin' Stiff** gets confused midway throughout the episode due to this fact.
	+ The Weirdtown College of America's teamname is "**The Donuts**", which is shown in many flags throughout the college itself.
