A group of guys are best friends who play their Buddy Games over the years. Shelly (Dan Bakkedahl) is the aggressive alpha male. Bender (Nick Swardson) does something which ends their games. It's 5 years later. Shelly's mother is scared for his mental health and asks Bobfather (Josh Duhamel) to restart the Buddy Games.
I don't like any of these people and that is its biggest problem for a comedy trying to be funny. I don't see Bakkedahl as this alpha male and certainly not without him being a jerk. I understand the comedic premise of making a chubby loser be the alpha of the group. It's not working. There are some attempts at gross out humor which could work if I cared about these guys. Maybe Duhamel should be playing Shelly and Bakkedahl could switch roles. The writing isn't good enough at any rate. It's not going to work even for the best comedians.
