Logo: We see footage of everyday things (a different one in every episode for Best Friends Forever and season 1 of Dice), all accompanied by white text saying "AMERICAN WORK, INC." in a weird-esque font. And depending on the episode of the two aforementioned series, these are all the footage variants described:
- A man wearing a red patterned shirt smashes a thin long wood stump in half with his axe on a path with grass, as a tan-yellow dog runs into frame, barking and looking at the wood piece. (Used in the pilot of Best Friends Forever, Animal Practice, season 1 eps 1, 3 and 6 and season 2 of Dice)
- On a table in a place, a bowl consisting of nachos and chips slides from the left into frame, as a hand then grabs one of the chips. (Used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Butt Dial" and the Dice episode "Sal Maldonado")
- In a bowling alley, we see an area consisting of three bowling balls, as a yellow ball then rolls into frame onto the stack. (Used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Put a Pin in It")
- In a backyard with clotheslines and pegs on it, a teal-blue patterned polo shirt is seen hanging on it, which a woman wearing a bright red shirt and blue shorts grabs off from. (Used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Single and Lovin' It")
- In another backyard, a man wearing a gray-red polo shirt and black pants pulls out a cooked turkey from a silver pot using a gray hook-like thing, while smoke steams out from it. (Used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Hey Nonny Nonny")
- At an area, a man wearing a red patterned shirt uses a power saw with his arm to chop a long wooden piece in half. (Used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Fatal Blow Out")
- A closeup of a lane with bowling pins is seen as a black ball rolls into frame, knocking out all of them in the process. (Used in the Dice episode "Ego")
- A man is seen using a red lawnmower on the grass as he then pulls the trigger to start it up and moves along. (Used in the Dice episode "Alimony".)
Variants:
- On Animal Practice, the text is more stretched out.
- On Dice, the text is more larger and is in delayed motion for a split-second.
FX/SFX: It's all live-action.
Music/Sounds: Depends on the variant.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On Best Friends Forever, it's silent.
- On Dice, a six-note jazzy synthesizer-like tune is heard over the sound effects.
- Original NBC airings had a generic theme and a voiceover.
Availability: Seen on Best Friends Forever, Animal Practice and Dice. Don't expect this on the 2014 film Search Party (not to be confused with the TBS/HBO Max series of the same name), despite Scot Armstrong being involved.
Editor's Note: None.
