I used to go on college humor when I was a kid but fell off when I was a teen like most of the people here. I just tried to find the website and couldnt. Apparently theyve rebranded based on their youtube page.
So i went to the new website and what do you know? Its like every other media slop around now. Lets get into their original programing
Dungeons and drag queens which looks like understudies for ru pauls
Make some noise which is described as "A game show where talented contestants compete to bring to life silly prompts." Chat GPT 2 could have come up with a more passionate show description
um actually which is "Introducing a game show of fandom minutiae one-upmanship, where nerds do what nerds do best: flaunt encyclopedic nerd knowledge at Millennium Falcon nerd-speed." again the description makes me viscerally cringe
and
Adventuring party which appears to be just the view but with the same D list drag queens
Just another example of shit I used to like ing out for an ever shrinking audience and straddling bankruptcy.

The reason this happened was way back when, Facebook video was seen as a potential competitor to YouTube. CollegeHumor took a gamble and started to focus on making videos for Facebook. CollegeHumor, which was owned by IAC basically went bankrupt and wasn't turning any profit on Facebook. At this time they started to focus on creae a streaming service known as Dropout to try and increase revenue and make more shows. In 2020 CollegeHumor was sold for penny scraps and merged with Dropout, basically no one who worked on the original IAC CH except for the CEO, Sam Reich is apart of Dropout.
