Uh… Does the username “Anders Holmvik” have anything to do with Anders Breivik, or is that just a normal Scandinavian name?

Anders Holmvik is one of the three main characters in the show Workaholics.

The character is played by actor and co-creator of the show Anders Holm.

Vik or vig, in Scandinavian languages, means inlet or bay and is rather common as part of a placename. Therefore also somewhat common as a family name, since these tend to reflect origin of a given family.

I can recommend the show, it is funny, albeit rather stupid.

They also have a podcast that is pretty dang funny, and I wasn't even a huge workaholics fan.
