Google isn’t going away any time soon and neither is one of College Humor’s best web series “If Google Was a Guy” featuring Brian Huskey as the embodiment of frustration that would be your researching all your search queries.

Watch the latest installment of it here.

Having a clean, simple, faceless interface to literally type anything you wish to query is part of why we Google anything our hearts, minds, and other parts wish to Google.

Making that process into something more akin to asking a librarian is such an awkward experience that it has helped make College Humor’s If Google Was a Guy starring Brian Huskey one of their best series.

Watch the latest episode here.

Adam Conover has ruffled enough of the right feathers with his web series Adam Ruins Everything on College Humor that it’s getting a full fledged TV version. 

Get a look at what you’ll be slightly more informed about or, depending on how precious you hold certain notions, get what things you were just taking for granted get delightfully ruined by Adam in this trailer.

Look for the premiere of Adam Ruins Everything on Tues. Sept. 29th at 10PM on TruTv.

2015 will be the year that we saw the creation of both a Comedy Hall of Fame as well a Comedy Music Hall of Fame. While we know that you can see hologram performances at the Comedy Hall of Fame, the premiere of the Comedy Music Hall of Fame special leaves the imagination to run wild especially with Paul F. Tompkins hosting, Weird Al Yankovic, Jack Black, Rachel Bloom, Trevor Moore, and more involved in the inaugural edition of this event.

Every year, the College Humor staff seemingly gets locked in their own offices and are only let out once again after making a bunch of fun, absurd videos throughout the night for what has now become the tradition known as CollegeHumor’s All-Nighter. 

Well, that night came to pass a few days ago and they sure did make a bunch of fun, absurd stuff to watch including dystopian office birthdays, rejected song parodies, and awful wizard riddles.

Now, begin the countdown to the next All-Nighter…

The likes of Weird Al Yankovic, Tenacious D, Rachel Bloom, Trevor Moore, and more have brought the art of musical comedy to a point where they warrant an entire TV special honoring their works over the years.

So, College Humor and IFC are doing just that with the very first CollegeHumor’s Comedy Music Hall of Fame. The great Paul F. Tompkins will be presiding as the host and there will be retrospectives, interviews, and new videos to be seen. 

The festivities can be seen on IFC on Fri. Jun. 19th at 10PM.

Here’s an announcement as proof of all of the above.

If Only People Thought What You Thought They Were Thinking, Life Would Be Great According to Meghan O’Neill

Uncategorized
ch2, college humor, meghan o'neill, short film, what people are thinking

Apparently, Meghan O’Neill impressively makes a character out of everyone she sees and they all really dig her.

For College Humor’s CH2, O’Neill wrote and starred in a short that perfectly captures what we’d hope people were thinking if they ran into us on the street. 

Unfortunately, real life isn’t a short film, but you can still enjoy Meghan’s “What We Think People Think About Us (But We’re Wrong)” anyway like we did.

MTV Trying a Late Night Talk Show Again with “Middle of the Night Show”
April 25, 2015
Uncategorized
big breakfast productions, brian murphy, college humor, late night talk show, mtv

College Humor’s Big Breakfast is developing MTV’s latest late night talk show that will trade a sound stage and audience for a bedroom.

The Middle of the Night Show makes its twist on the late night talk show format by getting rid of desk, couches, sound stage, audience, etc. and, instead, goes to the bedroom of guests while they are sleeping and waking them up to have them host a show from their home.

It seems like some sort of cross between this Rihanna prank on Jimmy Kimmel and The Late Late Show episode where Corden did an entire episode in someone’s house and Matt Oswalt’s Pre Dawn Show. 

College Humor’s Brian Murphy will co-host as they’re trying to catch celebrities in the middle of their REM cycles and need someone to guide the show along.

Supposedly, the celebrity host that will be woken up to do the show will have no prior warning as to exactly when the crew will come in. If that’s true, we’d imagine that there would be a few episodes where the crew and Brian will set off an alarm.

truTV just keeps their comedy programming rolling in. With the addition of Billy on The Street and a pilot order of Those Who Can’t, they seem to be headed in a good direction.

Their latest addition to their development slate is a pilot order of the very funny Adam Conover sharp web series Adam Ruins Everything over at College Humor. Following things like circumcision, we can only imagine what Adam will “ruin” with a full TV slot and budget.

Julio Torres, Lena Einbinder, and CH2 have “uncovered” the dastardly truth behind the seasonal, tolerated concoction known as “egg nog”.

Along with Brett Davis, John Early, Courtney Maginnis, and Ikechukwu Ufomadu, they show the world the “Nog Dynasty” (because, apparently, that many people buy egg nog to make for an empire?)

CH2’s Takes a Look Behind the Closed Doors of a VO Booth

All the voiceover that you hear on commercials or telling you what time your favorite shows are on are actually recorded by a real person in a recording booth where they say those lines over and over and over.

As you can imagine, that can drive you as well as the people doing the recording a little crazy. So, naturally, a few takes in they may go off the deep end with what they’re recording.

This is the premise for CH2’s Most Insane VO Ever series with Josh Ruben, Kelly Hudson, and Ben Rameaka that we’ve enjoyed and we hope you’ll throughly enjoy too.

Unlike MTV and what’s it done with MTV 2, College Humor is expanding and sticking to what got them to where they are now by making funny videos as opposed to a majority of tangentially music related reality shows.

So, College Humor has just launched CH2, which will be a supplementary channel on YouTube for College Humor where some of their favorite funny people on this vast no man’s land of the Internet will get to make some funny videos.

College Humor does a third installment of “if Google was a guy” with Brian Huskey as the “guy” and shows that interacting with Siri is just as frustrating on Google’s end as it is ours. Also, Google as a person must have a high tolerance for being aggravated.

In absence of Games of Thrones tonight, let College Humor’s All Nighter (a night where they make 10 videos) sketch that envisions George R.R. Martin as a comedy sketch writer fill that void.

In case you’re worried, Martin is still just as vicious in writing sketches. Watch it here.

Watch and learn and, hopefully, don’t feel too down afterwards here.

College Humor shows us why we should be glad that we’re asking the non-sentient, sans human body Google all the questions that we ask Google.
