Apparently the vast majority of the staff is laid off. Reich got ownership of the site and brand but he has no money, so though he's going to continue he can't keep things operating the way they were.

What an end of an era. I don't love everything CH does or maybe even most of it, but they've definitely made some really phenomenal things and have been chugging along basically as long as I've been on the internet.

I recently checked out the channel after kind of falling off of them for a long time and did a deep dive on a ton of their videos over the past few years., and I have to say their recent content sucks. The cast, except for one top tier super star, is just all around pretty bad. So I guess shutting down at this point isn't too much of a surprise. Pretty much all of their classic great talent have moved on to more mainstream comedy and writing jobs.

Yeah, I've been following along with the story on Twitter. It's a shitty situation (and remarkably similar to what happened to Cracked like 2 years ago).

Their stuff was hit or miss but when it was good it was really good, and I'd really grown to enjoy the cast.

All their side stuff like Dorkly and Drawfee are going down too, but the people from Drawfee (who all got laid off) have said they're going to still keep doing the same thing they were doing, just as an independent channel.

Oh wow, that's crazy. They still show up regularly on my YouTube feed (I especially enjoy Breaking News and some of their sketches), so the news that it's now basically gone overnight is crazy. Reich still keeping the rights to the shows is a silver lining though. Hopefully he can bring them back with some support and realignments.

Who?


This could be fun. For people who have watched CH in recent years, who do you think is good in the current cast?

I'm thinking about doing a tier list with videos I like from each cast member

Haven't seen anything from College Humor in 10 years....Did they have anyone left over from when they actually used to be good?

Assuming you're referring to Brennan, who is far and away the funniest and most talented cast member they've had in years

I'd definitely read it.

Out of who was left before a week ago, I'd say Mike Trapp and Brennan were definitely the best ones. Grant and Siobhan are pretty solid as long as the sketch concept isn't trash

They're gonna keep putting out videos for a while yet. They record sketches a couple weeks in advance so now they have a few weeks of content that's already recorded left to release

They're the ones that did the Batman parodies and Tetris God, right?

I remember my friends yelling LINE PIECE!

I can't say I really liked College Humor that much, although it's still sad to hear this happened.

Tetris God was something I always enjoyed, admittedly.

Used to watch CH so religiously in the late 2000s/early 10s. Hardly Working, Jake and Amir, that was the good stuff back then!
