Every year, the comedy website CollegeHumor holds its annual All-Nighter, filming and posting new videos for 10 straight hours, and tonight is the night. From 8pm EST/5pm PST to 6am EST/3am PST tonight, the website will be holding the marathon as a part of YouTube's Comedy Week with a 10-hour live variety show hosted by Jeff Rubin accompanying the videos. "This is the extreme sports version of comedy and viral videomaking," Sam Reich, CollegeHumor's President of Original Content, tells Splitsider. "It's always a ton of fun, until 4am hits, and then it's utterly surreal. Tune in and watch us unravel." The CollegeHumor gang will be joined by a [...]
Here's the trailer for a three-part web miniseries CollegeHumor made, based upon a fake trailer they made last year (embedded below) for a big-budget live-action Dora the Explorer movie. Like the original trailer, it stars Modern Family's Ariel Winter as Dora, but unlike the original trailer, this is a trailer for a real thing.
This week on the Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show, Jeff moderates a panel at the New York Comic Con consisting of the nerdiest people working at Collegehumor and Dorkly. They talk about writing nerdy comedy for the internet, some of the stuff that's bombed, and how many original Mario jokes that are left to write.
As is getting custom here is a small text-based sneak peek:
"As soon as you categorize videogames as work in your brain, it is amazing how fast your brain considers video games to be something you shouldn't be excited about playing. Which is such an asshole opinion for your brain to have." – [...]
On "It's That Episode," Craig Rowin (UCB Theatre) invites guests over to his apartment to watch any episode of any TV show they want. They discuss the episode and a bunch of other crap. Episodes are released every Monday.
Streeter Seidell (College Humor) joins Craig to watch an episode of "The Wonder Years." Sit back and relax as Craig and Streeter talk about the Arnold family, discuss the coolest thing to do while sitting, pontificate on how fart noises always make things good, and get in a nostalgic mood for 1990s fashion.

Jeff Rubin (College Humor) stops by to watch "Graduation," the series finale of Saved By The Bell. Craig and Jeff discuss everything SBTB, including how nerds on the show are not human, how Zach had sex with 86 classmates and the Screech porn, which may or may not be called "Saved By The Smell."
YouTube is holding its first-ever comedy week from May 19 to 25th, and they got Sarah Silverman, Rainn Wilson, Jake & Amir, the Gregory Brothers, and a bunch of people I'm not familiar with together to film this promo. They're not in this promo, but Vince Vaughn, Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Ed Helms, Garfunkel & Oates, and Norm Macdonald will also be participating in the event, a week of stand-up, sketches, music, and live performances, to finally bring some comedy to the serious, serious video site.
If Facebook Likes, YouTube views and autotuned remixes are to be believed, Jake (Hurwitz) and Amir (Blumenfeld) are two of the most popular people on the Internet. Since 2007, they've been producing their eponymous web series for CollegeHumor, which follows their comedic double act as mismatched cubicle mates through some truly absurd and ironically not-safe-for-work situations.
Over the years, their show has grown up along with the Internet: transforming from a low-budget hobby to a legitimate comedy force. Through their prolific output, they’ve found a dedicated following, created hundreds of truly hilarious sketches and shown every other web series how it should be done.
Scheer nails so many of Grey's 50 shades. There's grey suit grey and grey backdrop grey and poorly lit white paper grey and aluminum foil silver grey and cheese dick grey. Screw the book (which a lot of people probs would like to do), just give me Scheer in a variety of grey situations: holding an old Nintendo, chasing a squirrel, running from a wolf, or even holding an old Super Nintendo.
CollegeHumor's summer series Badman features Pete Holmes as Batman and Matt McCarthy as commissioner Gordon, continuing the adventures they've had in a number of previous videos. The first of the five new episodes came out today and is up above. If there ends up being some version of The Dark Knight Rises on the DVD/Blu-ray release in which every scene with Batman in it is reshot with Pete Holmes instead, I would pay like, twice as much than a normal DVD for that. Just keep it in mind, Nolan!
CollegeHumor just announced the hiring of Sam Grossman, a former Director of Development for MTV and Comedy Central, as their new Senior Vice President of Development. Grossman, who's worked on Human Giant and on programming for the Onion and the Gregory Brothers, will spearhead "the development of original long form content for both online and television." The hire definitely signals a push into TV for CollegeHumor, whose CollegeHumor Show ran for one season on MTV and who are also currently producing a movie with Glenn Howerton and Ben Schwartz. Internet comedy: not just on the Internet anymore.
CollegeHumor cut together every clip of someone playing a fake video game in The Simpsons. I mean, they probably missed one or two, what with there being 500 episodes of the show to sift through, so take it easy on me, commenters.
It's easy to make fun of celebrities; just look at how many TV shows and Twitter feeds are devoted to nothing else. But it's a skill to spoof celebrity culture beyond the obvious one-liners and bitchy asides. Web series Very Mary-Kate imagines the world of the former Full House star filled with prescription pills, endless blimps, and an over-accommodating bodyguard (known only as Bodyguard). But the show's charm lies in its firm grasp of this alternative universe and the engaging, if eccentric, relationships at the heart of it, making the series as intriguing as it is hysterical.
CollegeHumor has teamed up with Malaria No More to create Malarious, a "reverse telethon" that asks folks to donate whatever they want, from a single dollar on up, to gain access to two dozen original comedy videos starring celebrities such as Nick Offerman, Ed Helms, Tony Hale, Elizabeth Banks and Reggie Watts. The videos are all available as of this morning over at CollegeHumor's Malarious site.
The videos, which were all shot in front of a similar red curtain backdrop in both NY and LA, all uniquely represent the folks in them. Nick Offerman performs beat poetry about bacon. Elizabeth Banks describes her skin regimen while getting repeatedly [...]
Do you like extended comedic metaphors equating military action with sex? And do you like Patrick Warburton (Puddy from Seinfeld and Ken Davitian (the fat naked guy from Borat)? Well, you'll almost definitely love CollegeHumor's new video "Pulling Out of Iraq," as it's got all those things and is pretty delightful. There's some real love between those two men/countries, guys. Don't fight it.
