We can has more. On November 7 Huh and his crew of fledgling stand-up comics who "speak cat lady" get their TV moment when Bravo debuts the first season of reality show LOLwork, featuring Cheezburger's Seattle office. Lucky us: A preview of the first episode is already online. Welcome to one of many time-wasters on this glorious Friday. And yes, this does look a lot like The Office.
