Hvad er der ikke at brokke sig over? Tørre marcipansnitter, søndagsåbne butikker, loppemarkeder, julekort erstattet af masseudsendte e-mails, at corona-undskyldningen er udløbet, andres amatørbrok om vejret og så meget mere. Selv brok kan man brokke sig over. I Brokhovederne sætter Sebastian Dorset og Hans Sølvhøj Bundsgaard en stopper for pyt-knappen, når de brokker sig frem og tilbage til hinanden.

Brokhovederne, som tager udgangspunkt i bloggen 'Bloghovederne', er et forsvar for retten til at være utilfreds over hverdagens irritationsmomenter, leveret med humor af to halvgamle, helsjove mænd.
