If you came to this channel 20 years ago or in the past week, thanks for watching. The old videos are still there, but the path forward looks a little different (sorry Prank War fans). PS sign up for Dropout and get a bunch of good as heck shows and support an independent comedy streaming service. Still need convincing? Go watch 100 Game Changer Shorts, I bet you'll be down to try the free trial at least.
I can't lie, the game changes shorts are really hooking, y'all do a great job with those
Gonna watch all your content with joy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Dirty Laundry gets me. Hahaha
Change is hard... but free trials are forever.
To me College humour was something old with alot of baggage. Dropout feels right.
It's actually refreshing to see someone in leadership actually acknowledge the random dumb luck aspect of being successful.
Imagine thinking that they "leached" off of something they all got fired from 🤡
@@JuniperArcher hahahahahahah so proud of them for starting from grass roots, all on their own so inspiring not on an established platform with secured viewership from previous goodwill. Totally stands on its own feet hence the name change not a new platform. Bravo
@@redditrecall439No one is saying they did that.
Who hurt you?
@@redditrecall439 i mean, they were the brand (so they can leech off their brand all they want). then collegehumor ceased to exist, but sam wanted to save it by through dropout, which had barebones employees to cut down on spending (like Mike and Brennan while others are all fired). Collegehumor was also going downhill at that point, their view counts were a lot lower compared to their hey day and it was clear they were fizzling out for some time. And honestly, their first show was a DnD show which was a gamble. Sure Critical Role was pretty well known at that time, but it was likely the only tabletop/ actual play game that was getting high no. of views. So yes, the sudden explosion of tabletop/ actual play games' popularity throughout the covid pandemic was "dumb luck". We were all stuck inside, and had a lot of time for watching new shows or rediscovering our old passion for dnd. No one could've predicted this was gonna happen - so yes, dumb luck.
@@redditrecall439did Sam reich personally kill your childhood pet or something? Why are you this aggravated?
Shows listed in that Montage that haven’t been announced yet:
- Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up

I don't believe there had been an announcement of D20: Dungeons and Drag Queens S2 yet either
this is the comment i was looking for- thank you!!
And Fantasy High Junior Year Teaser dropped today
👀
Thank you!
I love the joke of most of the cast being on contracts now but Brennan being a full employee so he’s not allowed to leave 😂
Brennan is why we're all here though, let's be honest. The man is comic gold.
@@ostentatiousyankSam knows the value Brennan brings to the name.
Brennan is the face I see when I think of dropout funnily enough
Brennan was the best part of this video for me. He is my spirit animal (in terms of dietary habits, because I lack his knowledge, comedy skills, improv skills, etc). I'd have had that bag of snacks gone in the time it took to watch the video.
I remember once I cancelled my subscription because it no longer fit my budget and I got an email saying my next month was free. I literally started crying, I was so grateful. It was the opposite of a free trial, I already knew the service was awesome and y'all already knew I couldn't pay.
That's the kind of move a company makes because it's made up of caring people. I love that aspect of being an (intermittent) Dropout subscriber.
(A frequent Dropout dropout, one might say.)
Hope you’re doing good
@@zacharynguyen7286 Thank you! I'm not doing good yet, but I have high hopes for the next few months 🤞🤞🤞
Yep same I've had to cancel and reinstate my dropout sub for years now and I remember the first time I had to I felt pretty good about the company I was supporting knowing they didn't just care about money
@@mtanning BTW I recently learned that if I pause the subscription, it will wait until the end of the billing period to go on pause. I've started doing that instead of cancelling, partly because it's easier and partly because I've heard that staying subscribed might lock in the current price if they ever increase the subscription fee.
@@mtanningI totally get the vibe of they just need money to pay their employees well and create content people will love. I am very happy to give them my money for that.
The biggest magic trick Sam's pulled off is changing the channel name as the video was happening so that it was updated by the time it was over
🪄
He's been here the whole time
Is CollegeHumor officially Dropout now that they've changed their UA-cam channel name?
@@emunknown3395yeah, but where is he from?
Sam does love his magic
RIP CollegeHumor. You were a big part of my teens. Now, Dropout is a big part of my adult life... which is fitting since I also never finished college.
Same, tho!
LMAO SAME
Yo same 😂
SAME
saaaaaame
As a consistent fan of Dropout from when it was Collegehumor I know for a 100% fact that Grant was drinking a fully alcoholic cocktail in this video.
Which he probably made himself.
Why would we assume otherwise??
@@odesseusbecause people don't generally drink alcohol while filming scripted videos like this. You're going to get quite drunk if you have to do multiple takes.
its def worth it for him he probably had like three@@kentknightofcaelin4537
@@kentknightofcaelin4537I don’t think this applies to Grant lol
Brennan almost breaking when he said "I have so many chips left" is just one example of why dropout is good. Just a top tier cast, and Sam obviously cares immensely about his company and his employees
The amount of talent they have and used to have is honestly insane
Aabria's perfectly delivered "I hate change!" line is like I'm being personally called out. 😂
Our spirit animal
Defiant rage is a quality that Aabriya and Brennan share
there's a bunch of commenters on this very video who are that guy, I'm surprised they haven't replied to _your_ comment.
@@romxxii Reading comments on old CH sketches it's about how "wokeness" ruined the old CH, like it wasn't the most cringe "I have sex" jokes you could find. Like the truly, truly old stuff, so that gives an idea of the age of the people who're complaining about it which adds a level of sadness to it. Dropout is endlessly better. Actual shows, actual stuff to look forward to, actual substance, and setting a shining example of what media production and streaming could be, both for the workers and for the audience.
I've watched it twice now and laughed the hardest at that part both times. So perfect.
How the company handled the strike, enthusiastically going on strike before they even realized they technically didnt have to, only made me respect them and want to support them more
Exactly! And Brennan leading that DnD picket line was chilling! ❤
Lily Du’s outfits absolutely deserve at least 50% of the credit
100%
150%
200%
I don't want to say Brenan saved the company, but he helped bring the great content into a new viral age that I hope everyone appreciates the way we appreciate him
Yeah hopefully they gave him a bunch of equity or something because he's been a main reason for their success.
@@ChrisSeltzer They would have, it equity were a brand of chips.
It also helps that he's really hot
Brennan coming in at the end like "your dad is still gonna use the old name, you know that right?" is a minor gut punch to anyone who has ever done even a little bit of artistry.
I'd like to imagine that's a dig at Sam's Dad in particular
and gender diverse people
I still refer to a certain big, horrible internet company renowned for its amazingly bad customer service as Time Warner Cable. I won't allow a name change to let them escape their reputation.
And I am the dad being referred to. I went to collegehumor all the time back in the early 2000s when I was in college. Back when it was THE place for memes.
@@averagejoey2000 I didn't read it that way, but noted (?)
@@hipsnowsis7374pretty sure it was a trans joke
Grant just sitting to the side messing with his drink, "I thought you'd be bankrupt in a week." This channel is such gold ❤
Grant hates the crew. It is known!
He wasn't even in the script, that was just him hanging out on set.
@@wookieesden3133...and that's when the slapping started
Dropout has quickly become my girlfriend and mine's go-to entertainment. We cuddle and watch GameChanger, we snuggle and watch Dimension 20: Mentopolis, we get drunk and watch Dirty Laundry. Its basically taken the place Television game shows used to have for our parents' generation, and i love that.
More over, Sam seems to truly bring out the best in his already incredibly talented cast and gives these people a place where they can shine with their unique talents and seemingly endless creativity. And you can just feel that. I hope that part of Dropout never changes.
"Dropout has quickly become my girlfriend" -@JoshIdstein
As someone who has been watching for almost 15 years, hearing Ricky say the line "if you're gonna use two, just use one", brought back such a huge wave of nostalgia. I am so glad you guys are keeping up and going strong!
Totally, I was floored when I heard that iconic line!
@@kamoroso94wait what’s that line from?
@@alittlefrog2395 A whole bunch of the old "Hardly Working" skits
@@alittlefrog2395Hardly Working: 60s Day.
God damn, I missed all their old stuff. Can't believe they've been around for nearly 25 years? It's always so inspiring to see how far Sam has come, despite the fact that his parents died in a plane crash
What's the original context of the line?
“Art is made for people by people”. And that is why you will continue to receive both my time and money. Thanks guys for all you do and the passion with which you do it.
That's it exactly. Dropout has so much great content, but it's the genuine passion that really makes it stand out from the crowd.
💯
Managed to fit in future projects, company namechanger, position on worker's rights and AI, acknowledgement of Lily's outfits, and gratitude towards the fans and the staff, all in a single elegantly brief and fun announcement! Here's to more Dropout 🥂
And it goes for FIVE minutes!
AND making sure Brennan is snacking
My favorite part of dropout is that they don't edit out the crew laughs. It's fun to see everyone having a good time.
or, in Brennan's case most of the time on game changer, just lose it and hold an hour long monologue about literally anything...
Sorry, no points awarded! You did not say "Umm Actually!" at the beginning of the video! But our family will always support Drop Out! We love you all!
Um actually it’s “Dropout” not “Drop Out” 😛
i did find it weird it was still called College Humor, love the rebrand. Also love the acknowledgement that Lily's outfits are the highlight of the platform. Congrats on 5 years!
😮
Is that a new haircut she's rocking too? It looks fab.
Lily's outfits are fire! She's a style icon, for sure!
I was watching the latest dirty laundry today and all I could think while watching it was how great she looked.
Back when I started watching it my mom wouldn't let me because she thought "college" humor would be too mature
It's a rare thing to feel so much nostalgia for something and then that thing gets even better as you get older.
damn, that really does sum it up!
Hey, it's little Bobby Tables! How's it going?
*worse
It must be weird having a boss like Sam who seems to have so much joy in his work at a media company.
God, I want a boss like Sam. PLEEEEEAAAASSSSE
It’s unbelievable to get a boss that loves what they do, once in a career moment if you can pull it off.
the amount of happiness I felt when I saw Ricky and Josh is indescribable
Just choose one. I cried a little
If you compare this to the lifeless promos that Netflix and other media companies do, the difference is that Sam is sincere and I actually believe him when he says his company doesn't suck. I'm very happy for Dropout. Wish you all the success in the future. Here's to having more companies like this.
Not just because we all know Brennan would be the first to blow that whistle but also because, yeah, most of us watched in real time as Facebook killed a bunch of content creators then their parent company dropped them and Sam someohow still managed to turn this around into an actually viable streaming service.
@@ragnarockerbunnythat's another thing worthy of note, Dropout is a streaming service that's self sufficiently viable. The service is their main source of revenue, unlike most other services that operate at a loss to be used as advertising for merchandise and other products, dropout actually WORKS!
It also helps that Dropout was very openly in support of the writers and actors strikes this year. But yeah no it genuinely feels sincere from these guys.
Yeah also the fact that they stopped production for the writers strike, only to find out that they were in compliance and could continue filming with their union employees.
@@MommyOfZoeAndLiam Legitimately, what a power move to look at the writers' strike punching Hollywood in the nards and go "oh, we were already doing what they're asking for anyways because we're not douchebags" and then keep cranking out some of the best content on the internet
Ricky's "if you're going to use two, just use one" bit at the end is a great goodbye to all the long time CollegeHumor fans like myself who still love to go back and watch the old videos. Happy to see the company grow back up and here's to 5 more years!
that was amazing
I read your comment before watching this and SQUEEEEEEEEEE'd anyway.
What a great callback!
I laughed out loud!!!
It brought a tear to my eye... a tear of soy...
Dropout is so good because you can feel the passion of the cast and crew. They’re doing things they like to do, in a world where that’s rare. I’ve never regretted a single penny I’ve spent on dropout.
1:57- from as many times as they've been on camera together, I've never realized the height difference between these two
Also Aabria's "I hate change" was masterfully delivered!
The "If you're gonna use two just use one" throwback was sublime
I love that this callback still exists to this day.
I love that this callback still exists to this day.
I was looking for this comment. Shoutout to all those who recognized it and those who remember the collaborations with derrick comedy
What's the context? It went over my head lol
Best part of the video for me, gave me a giant smile!
Ricky giving his blessing through that line made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and made me totally on board with Sam's decision
Dropout is truly the only entertainment service I am willing to pay for because you can tell everyone really enjoys making their shows
Seriously my only subscription where I don't occasionally wonder if I should cancel it.
Yep, this year when my bills went up I ditched Netflix, Spotify, AND my tap lessons. But Dropout didn’t even come within touching distance of the culling zone.
Agreed. It's only service I actively choose to let run while it's in its off period (I go through cycles of which platform I watch at any given time)
exactly!! the cast and crew seem genuinely invested and the environment seems to be healthy and focused on delivering good shows, while also appreciating the team as a whole. as it stands, even if i cancelled everything else, i would keep dropout.
drop out and Worlds beyond number for me.
One of the things ive rlly liked about Dropout so far has been the times when they pause and bring attention to the crew behind-ish the scenes. The d20 sets, just about every prop of Game Changer, and the laughs behind the cameras not just left in but *subtitled* (thank y'all, i have bad ears)- these things don't just happen off the power of the big faces. It's a bigger team effort than that and I appreciate it every time.
Y'all have been me and my fiance's favorite since the plauge first struck and I don't see that changing soon. Y'all have a good one! :D
this video has been out for 7 month, ive had dropout for FAR longer than 7 months, and am JUST NOW realizing the wordplay from collegehumor to dropout and feel like a fool
CollegeHumorNowDropout has been a hugely important part of the internet culture for so long. Congrats to Sam and everyone else for making it through these last 5 years!
The Dropout Formerly Known As CollegeHumor (aka unpronounceable pretention) 😁
I was a little sad when college humor spiraled. Seeing dropout emerge and be this strong is fantastic. Great job to the whole team.
Well, if you're in college for over 20 years and never managed to graduate, it might be time to *_drop out._*
...
I'm sorry, I'll leave now.
these guys haven't been relevant or funny for 12 years.
@@atomaweapon You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how bad it might be. You could have just said you haven't watched them in 12 years.
@@atomaweaponso you just drop in on their comments because you were in the neighborhood, and definitely not because you’re a troll with literally nothing better to do?
SHOW IDEA... can you do an interview with each of your non-on camera talent staff? their backround, examples of their input, their story. That would be super cool.
The best subscription I ever paid for. I got it originally for the D&D content but fell in love with the ever-evolving casts of personalities and talents as the hit shows kept coming. Thank all of you for your amazing work. Cheer to 5! and Cheers to when y'all hit 10!!
exceptionally fun to refresh the page and see the name change live!!
I know right. The CH still sometimes shows for me, but it's mostly settled down to the Dropout branding now.
literally did the same thing
so sad I missed that! I was even confused, did Dropout make a new channel that I obviously subscribed to without remembering? No! It's the coolest rebrand of the decade!
I was a few minutes late and tried going to the CH channel to be told it doesn't exist ha! (I was on a shitty tablet)
woah crossover hehe! 2 of my favourite creators (I mean Dropout is a bunch of creators but y'know)
My main thought during this video was: “Oh, it’s a CEO sketch, but good news!”
Massive thanks to everyone from Dropout. Discovered y’all ~2 years ago and you’ve been my highlights ever since. Can’t wait for more!
I always love the wacky names they come up with for the CEOs in these skits.
"Sam Reich" LMAO what will they think of next?
4:43 Brennan proudly finishing the bag of chips like "give me an assignment and I won't miss"
I have been a recent Dropout convert, mainly because of all the clips on Shorts and the fan edits which appeared in my recommended. This announcement pushed me over the edge and I finally got my subscription. It’s good to know that I get to watch funny things made by genuinely nice people getting to make fun stuff with their friends. Here’s to another 5 years!
RIP CollegeHumor, LONG LIVE DROPOUT
The King is Dead, Long Live the King!
I found Dropout when I came across a fan made highlight reel and I was hooked.
The sheer terror in Brennen's eyes: "Hello.... I'm... 50?"
I've never openly wept from laughing that hard before.
So, there was a party underneath a supermarket in Brooklyn...
@@zachgaskins3731... "As if that explains anything"
@@zachgaskins3731And that’s pretty much the end
Brennan could have paid respect to that line by saying "hello, I'm FIVE?!?" in this vid.
My life hasn’t been great lately. A lot of bad luck and financial woes.
Despite all of this, I’ve never once considered cancelling my Dropout subscription because I believe in supporting artists and God knows that shows like D20, Um, Actually, Game Changer and all of the other great shows on Dropout have helped me get through such turbulent times.
Long live Dropout 💛
4:29 wow... that was a deep cut. Thanks for getting Ricky and Josh back that was great. Also, I remember the videos where that was Trap's laptop.

@@sean2063 Oh, that's a good point. Maybe another guest DM in Brennan's world kind of deal.
JUNIOR YEAR?!
Dropout deserves all of the praise it receives, and more. Ethical, inclusive, irreverent, topical, and timeless comedy. Plus cameos from all over the internet. Kudos to all of the cast and crew. For the rest of my life I will hear the honest question, "Where are you from," out in the wild, and I will laugh inappropriately and pray someone responds "Cambridge, Massachusetts." It gets funnier in callback every year.
I just wish there were more budget for shows like Gods of Food, or even just the old Hardly Working sketches. But I get those take a lot more time and money to produce, and as a rogue streaming service that has barely raised its prices compared to greedy hogs like Netflix and Amazon Prime, they might have neither time nor money to make those bigger shows.
Not only do they have good content, they as a company and their employees have consistently made ethical choices and been very vocal with their activism. I will probably drop all my other streaming services before I drop Dropout.
Did not expect Ricky doing the "just use one" bit to make me full cry. Congrats Dtopout. I've been hooked since Josh's Mindhouse, and you've been making me smile since. Like for real added up together, add it together and that's like a month worth of my life just fucking happy and that's on you.
Now I can watch the channel without the soul crushing reminder I never finished college! Thank you Dropout!

Their wonderful team and content is keeping me sane right now as I go through college 😂❤
I think this is one of the few re-brandings that actually make sense, especially since college humor's comedy has matured a lot especially in the last few years and is no longer the once crass college humor it actually was. I do hope that sketches will come back though.

And now I’m obsessed with the shows on there. It’s like finding out Whose Line Is It and Comedy Bang Bang had a baby and it’s full of people around my age, more diverse, and more authentic. It’s the comedy network for the new generation!!! Thank you Dropout team for the laughs and giggle fits ❤
So happy for you guys!!! Especially amidst all this 'we can't possibly pay writers' gaslighting from the big streaming companies, it's so nice to see you guys flourishing while taking care of your staff and taking chances on really cool projects. So glad y'all are doing so well, here's to another fabulous 5!
The shot of Sam walking through The Dome lit up with pics of the staff and crew... I got some feel-good chills. I love Sam's enthusiastic support for the people he works with
Dropout is the only subscription I’m ever truly happy to see come out of my bank account. I’m so glad to be able to support the great work of good people.
This is so damn true. I hate subscriptions but this is the wonderful exception that I don’t mind even a bit paying for
From seeing _Escape From The Bloodkeep_ for free here on UA-cam to signing up and sticking with Dropout all these years and making your shows an important part of my weekly dark demonic rituals, thank you from the bottom of my ever-strengthening soul forge.
My husband and i love dropout and we always budget around keeping it. Even when we're broke, to we always try to keep it.
What I've learned here is not only that Dropout has worked so hard to get where they are today, but also that Brennan can't leave the building until he finishes a whole bag of potato chips, Trapp doesn't need a computer, and Ify and Lily's time MUST be respected. So proud of the progress this channel has made over the years! Here's to five more years!
What would we do without Ify and Lily ❤
I may be a broke ass student but Dropout/Dimension 20 saved me and is continuing to save me from the isolation I felt during the pandemic. So yeah worth it. Will continue to support you guys as long as I can~
I hear ya there. Money's tight right now but dropout will be the last thing to get cut. It helps a lot
I always believed in you guys. Great content moves the needle every time. Wish I could work here!!
"everyone can go home EXCEPT Brennan, he lives here now" love that. love you guys. the one subscription I never think about canceling even when money is tight. You're a bright spot in the darkness, I'm rooting for your continued success.
That actually makes things a lot easier. Occasionally we'll have to say Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor), but that's an inevitable minor inconvenience whenever anything changes its name. 95% of my favourite content from you all has been during the Dropout era. Arguably I'm a much bigger fan of Dropout than I ever was of CollegeHumor.
(Edit was to correct a typo. I originally wrote "bent" instead of "name".)
Saaaaaame
I will say, the original Troopers sketches were the main reason why I payed attention in the first place. They're what I think of when I see CollegeHumor.
I *still* don’t know the difference.
To be fair, that's literally what Lou called the company when he revealed their opinions on the OJ Simpson case...
Same here.
the story of dropout is a pretty incredible one. love seeing creative companies where passion is clearly at the forefront of everything.
Calling it now, you’re next video should be “me and the lady I live with react to old internet humor”. Did not take you as a dropout fan, yet here we are!
Hey Raz!
Wow ram I did not expect to see you here

Every cast member and team members behind production, filming, lighting, mics, sfx, ect has really made something special. Ive always loved your guys videos. They truly offer something special.
Anyone came here after watching Watcher and their subscription plan. What distinguishes them from Dropout?
People actually give a shit about College Humor for starters, and it's still all under the same brand and team instead of three dudebros who clearly think way too highly of themselves.
for starters the amount of content, in 2024 alone dropout has posed nearly 100 videos compared to watches 23.
@@haileyw3660 The content came because of the support from fans for Dropout though. I mean looking at it, Dropout and Watcher have the same business model and I'm trying to understand the reason Dropout is looked at so positively and Watcher got it so negatively
Dropout was honestly lucky that they had so many loyal fans. Watcher is a newer channel and theres only 3 iconic guys, Collegehumor had lots of people that were working on it for over a decade and their struggle was clear with the facebook fiasco so they had more sympathy from the start
@@shreym03 I agree for the ammount of content, but not the style and crew. from what i have seen, and my experience, watcher works because shane and ryan are fun to watch. I do not know if i would care if one or both left. however, dropout already had a team of on camera personalities to do many of the shows. also, dropout does release some of its content on youtube still. they do many shorts for each episode of their shows, and sometimes full episodes. the way watcher presented it was as if there would be nothing on youtube anymore
also, watcher has a patreon they will still have while from my understanding dropout does not.
and a lot is luck and timing. I feel like there were not as many streaming services 5 years ago compared to today. to watch the tv shows i like, its at minimum 5 seperate services. 5 years ago, all i needed was cable and netflix and i had access to everything (anime was also easier to pirate so). now dropout is established enough for its own brand. they also were not still using the college humor name for this shift.
I just think there are a lot more factors at play than just youtube to streaming jump
It feel oddly right to bid CollegeHumor farewell. It was, and continues to be, an incredible journey. Thank you CollegeHumor, and goodbye old friend.
There's basically no entertainment source I'm happier to support than Dropout, just because I like all the people involved so much. Them, and the crazy tyrant who makes them dance. Thank you for your work, Sam!
Love your content. Subscriber for years, love it.
The only thing I miss is the sketches. As expensive and silly as they are to make...I still watch them to this day. If you ever get to a point where you can make sketches again, I will get two subscriptions. That's a promise.
Love the enthusiasm and the honesty. You could always turn the company into a co-op, especially if you fear that the company might not survive the next recession or big economic catastrophe. Co-ops are known for being much more resilient both in economic downturns and in general. And you would put the worker's rights (and sustaining the company and therefore the quality content) at the first priority because they then have a guaranteed a say in how the company is being run.
How does a co-op structure provide resiliency? /genuine
Wow I've definitely never felt such warm feelings for a brand announcement before.
I remember watching CollegeHumour in my mid teens. I had no idea it would grow into this. This is possibly the business I am most proud to support. You guys are transparent, creative, entertaining, and it's clear everybody involved is in love with what you're doing. I love how it's never felt like it's about the money, I love how everybody is totally open with their identities and supportive of one another (and it's not treated like a big thing), and I just can't get over how this feels like one of the most successful creative labours of love I've ever had the joy of supporting. You're all wonderful people, and I hope to still be supporting you guys in another 5 years' time.
i haven't really sat down to watch any dropout content in a few months because i'm busy, but my annual subscription is about to renew and i have no intention of cancelling. i love the work you all are doing, and i'm so glad i get to help support it.
if you consider introducing a lifetime subscription (like Nebula has been offering lately) i would do my best to scrape together the money and get one.
here's to the next 20 years!
i love you guys and your company. I've been watching college humor for over 14 years, and im so glad it's still going, even though it's changed a lot. there's no one else that's putting out such quality comedy content these days, and I hope dropout can continue to thrive and survive whatever worldwide catastrophes come our way. im actually very glad they defunded collegehumor, since now it gets to be free and run by the people who really care about it.
Dropout shows like Dirty Laundry, Game Changer and Make Some Noise have been a staple of my comfort shows. So glad that you guys are still around and making good content.
I was not okay with this until I heard Ricky say "just use one." Now all is right with the world. Thanks Dropout, keep going, we'll keep supporting you.
The throwback with Ricky made me scream!!! Been watching this channel since 2008 - you've done an incredible job transforming into Dropout, can't wait for what's to come!
Watching this company change over the last eleven or so years is insane. Can't believe the journeys this group has gone through since I first saw Dinosaur Office on my 3ds and looked up the group
Dude the fact that Dropout exists without ad-revenue (minus their UA-cam) is AWESOME.
It's crazy that this was the last college humor video.
3:52 missed out on the perfect opportunity for Trapp to say "um, actually... that's my computer"
2:24 Heyyyy I found yall on YT Game Changer is why I finally subbed to Dropout and hence here to witness your amazing Celebration Vid almost the best Welcome to a Channel and Service I have ever gotten Much Love ❤🙌
I have a bit of sadness at seeing Collegehumor gone. The name, the logo, even the "HUHH" sound, were all a part of my life growing up, but that feeling is overwhelmed by a feeling of pride and joy in Sam and the team of Dropout. Ive been subscribed to dropout since day 1 and watching you all grow is truly revolutionary. Keep on moving forward and do your thing. Youre all true Game Changers!
Ive grown so attached to these people. Knowing that they can continue to create what they enjoy makes me emotional.
Brazilian here, one more of those that follows for so many years, and will keep watching (and now supporting it). It was a shame when I saw that Facebook issue, with you guys going... broke?, specially with your best cast in years! You guys are awesome and, even with the exchange rate, I'm signning it right know! So, more 20 years to come
So happy for everyone and so proud! I was a college humor fan many years ago and fell away as my tastes changed, we found dropout shortly after its inception and were blown away by wit and passion evident in the work. Even through our own tough times we kept our dropout subscription, rewatching fantasy high and um actually, sure that when things got better we would see it first in your content. To say the wait paid off would be a major understatement. All of you brought me through the loss of my father with tears and laughter. You gave me strength when I had none. I value all of the dropout staff, on screen and off, for all their hard work and dedication. And especially Sam, for showing employers everywhere that a business can be run fairly.
I can tell Brennan was fighting for his LIFE not to break during the bit with Lily
We fell in love with Adam Ruins Everything waaay back when and later Game Changer and Um, Actually. Recently began digging into Dimension 20 and we can't wait to watch more. Ya'll are truly our favorite creators in the industry not only for your incredible humor, but your integrity as well.
My sister used to write for college humor. She always used to ask me for ideas when she would hit a brick wall sometimes. I being a huge nerd stepped up and helped out. Did see her on a video that she created and it was absolutely hilarious. I’ve been a dropout member for two years now. And it honestly makes my day when I see new content drop.
Small story that leads somewhere I swear.
I suffered a myriad of dark, depressive, and sometimes self-destructive thoughts throughout my college days (over 10 years ago now). Back then, I loved watching RoosterTeeth and, though weird to admit, had a parasocial relationship with the founders and the AH crew. It provided me with the sense of family and friendship I didn't have at the time. Life changed, but as RT, and by extension AH, corporatized they felt farther and farther. Couple that with the scandals and it was like watching a part of my past die.
Flash forward to now, and seeing this video. You guys are so amazing and ignite many of the same feelings of easy joy and comradery that RT and AH struck in me all those years ago. Watching Dropout has been such a wonderful little escape to an easy place with kind people I can laugh with (and at, let's be honest). You all do such a good job of sticking to your morals while still being genuinely hilarious all while revealing parts of yourself that most find hard to. In doing so, you come across as relatable while also being role models in various ways. Kindness, intelligence, wit, and a manic energy I find in myself (but cranked up to 11) are everywhere and I love it.
Anyway, all that to say congrats to Dropout and to everyone working there. I'm excited to see what's to come!
Proud to be a fan of DROPOUT. Thank you for College Humor, and I’m so happy I get to witness this big leap! Happy 5 years DROPOUT 💛
I like this comment, but at the time I pushed the button, it had 69 likes. I couldn't do it, so instead you get a comment.
Congratulations guys! You passed the statistical threshold! A sizeable chunk of businesses end within their first 5 years, and thus making it to this point is a huge milestone. Here's to more content in the years to come!
The only subscription fee I smile at when I’m checking my credit card statements. You bunch are the best.
This Sam guy is pretty good and it's awesome to see his enthusiasm and hard work pay off.
I wonder where he's from.
Definitely! Endlessly creative, pushing the barriers of what entertainment should be, and a beacon of positivity to us, and his fellow workers!
On an unrelated note, I am interested in what his childhood theater was called
