As one of the stars of Workaholics—which kicks off its fifth season on Comedy Central on January 14—Blake Anderson knows a little something about buddy comedies. The new episodes, which Anderson describes as "still stupid," feature the likes of Jack Black, Dolph Lundgren, and Jerry O'Connell, but as usual, the comedy comes from Anderson, Adam DeVine, and Anders Holm, who essentially play amped-up versions of themselves.

"Making fun of your friends and destroying them emotionally for a laugh is what makes life worth living," says Anderson, which explains why we asked him to give us a list of his favorite buddy comedies of the year. The actor and comedian feels pretty good about the year in comedy overall, even if some of his picks didn't technically come out in the past 12 months. "I thought comedy was aight in 2014," he says. "Some funny standup, cool new cartoons, and also, it was pretty nice to see chicks getting more opportunities to do their thang in the comedy world. There were only a couple of funny movies this year. I wouldn't mind seeing some new faces on the big screen in 2015 (hint hint)." His choices and reasonings are below.

Key & Peele

"This is a great example of a super-talented buddy duo. Every time I watch Key & Peele episodes I think, 'Dang, that was really funny and I'm not as good as them at acting.'"

The Birthday Boys

"Can a group of seven dudes be considered a 'buddy comedy' or is that more of a 'friendship family' comedy? I'm gonna count it 'cause I grew up with a really tight dude crew of buddies. Either way, this sketch show is very funny."

Tim & Eric

"Always and forever some of my favorite bizarre buddies of all time."

Ice Cube's Buddy Comedy Movie

"I'm not sure if Ice Cube made a buddy movie in 2014, but if he did, I'm 1,000-percent perfectly sure it's great and belongs on this list." [Eds. note: Ice Cube released Ride Along and had a part in 22 Jump Street in 2014.]

Rick and Morty

"Just because the characters aren't real doesn't mean their friendship isn't real. Rick and Morty is an awesome new cartoon."

Idiotsitter

"You know I gotta represent for my girl [and Workaholics co-star] Jillian Bell. Jillian and her friend Charlotte Newhouse have some killer chemistry in this web series. Be on the lookout for the TV series on Comedy Central in 2015."

Philadelphia 76ers

"The buddies on this basketball team are so bad this season it's funny! Freakin' buuuuuuuuuuurn! Count it. Roasted."

Dumb and Dumber To

"I haven't seen the movie yet, but Harry and Lloyd are such legendary buddies, I have to shout 'em out."

Kenan & Kel

"This is not from 2014, but I just don't give an F. Put 'em on the board!"

Workaholics

"It's probably the best buddy comedy in like television history! We're best friends in real life and on the show! We have a super-unbreakable friendship bond and trust and love each other forever, plus I'm pretty sure we've all seen each other naked so there are no secrets between us. Don't be surprised if we get three-way married in 2015."
