Waiting...

As the doors of Shenaniganz restaurant swing open, a motley crew of young employees embarks on a daily ritual of escapism, dodging the drudgery of adulthood with their antics. At the heart of this tale lies Dean (Justin Long), a waiter who's been stuck in neutral for four years since graduating from high school. His stagnant life takes a sharp turn when he learns that his former classmate Chett (Travis Resor) has earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, leaving him to wonder if he's been sleepwalking through his existence.

Dean's best friend and co-worker Monty (Ryan Reynolds), a self-proclaimed ladies' man, is similarly adrift, but has resigned himself to the fact that Shenaniganz is his true calling. As Dean navigates the restaurant's eccentric staff, including Calvin (Robert Patrick Benedict), a hopeless romantic with a penchant for heartbreak, and Dan (David Koechner), the uptight manager hell-bent on grooming Dean as his protégé.

The kitchen crew is just as colorful, featuring Raddamus (Luis Guzman), the head chef with a flair for drama; Floyd (Dane Cook), the unpredictable and unsanitary chef who's equal parts chaos agent and culinary wizard; Tyla (Emmanuelle Chriqui), the sultry bartender with a way with words; and Bishop (Chi McBride), the pensive dishwasher whose philosophical musings provide a much-needed respite from the madness.

As the waiters while away the hours, their downtime is filled with gossip, customer complaints, and covert revenge schemes targeting particularly egregious patrons. Amidst this backdrop of banter and hijinks, each employee's personal struggles are woven into the fabric of the restaurant's daily rhythms.

Just as the night is winding down, a surprise visit from Chett and his girlfriend prompts Dean to reassess his priorities. With Dan offering him an assistant manager position that would guarantee stability but little excitement, Dean must decide whether to stick with the status quo or take a chance on a brighter future – one that might just involve flashing genitalia at a fellow worker (the infamous "Penis Showing Game") and embracing the absurdity of it all.

As the clock strikes the end of the shift, the crew's collective energy begins to unwind in the most anticipated social gathering of the night - a bash at Monty and Dean's abode. Amidst the revelry, Monty's resolve proves unshakeable as he resists Natasha's charms, making a vow to consummate their relationship only when she reaches the legal threshold of adulthood on the following Wednesday. Meanwhile, Calvin embarks on a quest for emotional repair, attempting to mend the cracks in his personal relationships that have been building all day long.

Mitch, however, takes a different tack altogether. Seething with frustration stemming from a series of interruptions, he launches into a scathing critique of nearly every member of the staff present, leaving no one unscathed in his tirade. The group's collective unease is palpable as Mitch concludes his rant by bestowing upon them all "The Goat" - a dubious honor that Monty proudly proclaims to be a badge of honor, swearing his unwavering loyalty to his colleague.

As the evening draws to a close, the staff members regroup to discuss the aftermath of Mitch's diatribe. A subplot involving Dan's ill-fated attempt to visit a disgruntled customer at their home, courtesy of Natasha's misguided directions to the party, adds a touch of humor and human error to an otherwise lighthearted atmosphere. The night culminates with a hip-hop music video debut featuring Nick and T-Dog, providing a fittingly funky finale to this slice of life among the crew.
