My 3 favorite things about Grant: 1. The fact that he can bring a room of people together in shared loathing. 2. His absolutely absurd amount of self confidence. Which can only be matched by the world's collective distaste of him. 3. Height.
@@DubiousFuzzbear Oh he absolutely is, the man is literally helping me propose to my partner via Cameo, just a wonderful guy. But there’s GOTTA be some embarrassing videos and stories they can dig up 👀
My favorite three things about Grant Anthony O'Brien are the fact that he will do literally anything on camera for approval, the courage and self-honesty I assume it took for him to come out as a 7 1/2 foot tall power bottom, and finally that he's probably a little aroused when four of his friends disdainfully insult him in this video.
It's extra funny that Brennan makes fun of him going "Say,..." as an interjection when Grant wrote text for Katie to go "Say, I'll get in on that action". Idk if Brennan noticed that and because of it poked fun at that or if he didn't notice and just happened to make fun of Grant with that one.
For someone who's usually so good at keeping a straight face absolutely nothing makes Brennan break on this show quite so consistently as Grant O'Brien's syphilis.
My favorite thing is how they refused to give Grant even an INCH, the back handed shade. The barely contained disgust at Grant shamelessly flattering himself and forcing them to say it. I- it’s amazing 😂
3:55 they misspelled vicious as viscous, which means to flow slowly and thickly like molasses (hence viscosity), which makes his viscous ass-kicking even funnier
My favourite thing about Grant is how he contrives situations where he will either be excessively praised (a kink) or ruthlessly humiliated (also clearly a kink).
Well, we got what people asked for. A showdown with all the best players, and it was really good. Clean, straightforward, and allowed the jabs at Grant to be so clear and perfect.
My favorite things about Grant are: The fact he can't eat solid foods after this aired, that he can't hold things without spilling them on himself, and that he thought he was going to get away with this atrocity.
it's sad that everyone was doing well because it was wildly unfunny ND it was all written by Grant so that's like double insult to injury... then they roasted him shitless so triple kill.
Even the person in charge of the news headlines at the bottom was roasting grant. “Literally, he puts in ZERO effort” “He puts the me in mensch” (After ‘the only person he’s in competition with is himself) “Yet somehow still loses to self” “The big bird brain himself” (‘Here’s my favourite memory of Grant) “Remember that one time… With the sheep?”
Was probably spelled wrong on Brennan's role like "feild reporter" instead of field reporter. Which is why we don't see it as they don't list roles anymore
I feel like the banner headline jokes above the crawl don't get enough love. "Total Rehkal," "Hey, It's the D20 Guy!" and "Glass Half Empty of Tall Drink of Water" made me laugh so much it distracted me from the actual show lol. Great work, whoever does those!
Feel bad for Grant but then his friends and people he trusts remind me how horrible he really is. Thanks for the reminder guys. I will NEVER unlearn nor un-see the things I've learned about him!
My favorite things about Grant: he can be a live-action Jack Skelington, and his infinite capacity to brush off total public humiliation. Seriously, dude, that's a talent.
i love how the majority of the replies from the channel are just "no amount of pain can get back at the writers for bullying grant that hard in that one other episode"
@@dropout The lack of both capitalization and punctuation excludes you from using that as the reason for your inner grammar nerd throwing himself in a volcano.
Katie's deadpan abilities make her so funny. The delivery on her favorite things was one of the only ones that made people burst out into full on laughter lol
What I like about Grant is his ability to mask his flaws physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual with a fully devoloped sense of self-righteous delusion and casual disregard for his obivious inadequacies.
I really really really want to see the real script that Grant wrote. About halfway through they all got super uncomfortable and started making up their own lines
Reminder that there are tons of episodes of Breaking News up on Dropout.tv, including new episodes popping up every other Friday! We wouldn't let little things like a pandemic and nearly everyone getting fired keep us from finding new opportunities to roast Grant.
Breaking news is definitely a way better name than no laugh newsroom. Boo to that name. BooOo I say.
Are these four (and Grant) still employed by CollegeHumor? Or are these videos that were taped a long time ago and are still slowly being released?
good to hear, this is my favorite series :)
That was my precise thought.
@@brandobond this is an older one but we're making new ones with the cast now

The fact that Brennan has broken not once but TWICE at the mention of Grant and syphilis.
First off,
*GRANT CAUGHT SYPHILIS IN JANUARY*
@@Manakuuchiha and he’s had it twice because he likes to Al Ca-bone 😔

"My favorite memory about Grant is the vicious ass-kicking he received minutes after this broadcast."

I cant help but wonder how the ENTIRE OFFICE knew that he had gotten syphilis twice 🤔
@@Alice-mt6uka friend wrote the script
@@molly.dog8brooke792 i think they were implying that they fucked
The fact that Grant’s typos and opportunities for improv were the things that made Brennan break is the best
Where were the typos? Couldn't find them and it's driving me crazy!
@@kflynn5754 they say field is spelled wrong. probably for the field reporter position, not for anything they actually say.
Don't forget the syphilis.
@@huddl3buh50 Oh that makes sense! Man, I thought I was going mad.
Brennan has had to read ridiculous stuff with a straight face before, but he can't predict what comes out of his friends mouths
Katie is a stone-cold pro. She owns this show. Not even a contest.
And then there’s Amy Vorpahl who is basically the anti-Katie.
Recently we rewatched every single Breaking News on Dropout and Katie only laughed ONE TIME. It's uncanny. She's incredible.
Mostly cuss she ops out of the game, in the "Think of 3 thing" she straight up bailed, she wins by not playing
Unfortunately, it brings down the humor level
True
"How tall is Grant, exactly?"
"Unfortunately it's impossible to know, since nobody can reach up there to measure."
It's all about perspective lol
Taller than Zack but shorter than Katie
The atmosphere gets thinner up there, so to measure him requires hazard pay. Noone can afford that ish.
@@nickswafford2413 But Zack is taller than Katie too.

@@kindatim no no. I don’t think you need to add height. Grant is tall enough as is
@@404FinallyFound Wait. How tall is Grant?
This is grants revenge for “true facts about Grant Anthony O’Brien”
And it just makes him look worse
There is simply no revenge big enough for what was done to Grant in that episode.
@@dropout ...But we like to see him try anyway.
@@dropout true but an attempt was made🤣. I get the feeling grant wrote that comment🤣
I prefer to shorten it to Granthony
Grant Anthony O'Brien tries to get revenge, and it backfires horribly.
That's exactly what i was going to say grant thought he was going to get everyone back and he came out worse than he started
It’s on him for getting the most viscous collegehumor actors in one room and trying to force them to be nice
E
I love how viscerally angry Brennan looks the whole time
"In moments like this I like to think about........"
And then him just shaking his head no. I'm dying.
E
All I’m saying is Grant now needs to write the script for a “True Facts About Brennan Lee Mulligan” episode, please and thank you
The only problem with that is that Brennan is just kind of a really wholesome person.
@@DubiousFuzzbear Oh he absolutely is, the man is literally helping me propose to my partner via Cameo, just a wonderful guy. But there’s GOTTA be some embarrassing videos and stories they can dig up 👀
@@finnkelly8615 oh my gosh that’s so sweet

@@finnkelly8615 For five points, Brennan will reveal all such details by himself.
alternate title: grant's retaliation for "true facts about grant anthony obrien"
no amount of retaliation will ever make up for the brutal murder of grant that occurred in that episode
I Don’t Know How You Guys Could Keep A Straight Face
Saying Those Things Especially During That Episode
Grant? Are you answering for these comments?
@@dropout I thought that episode was the retaliation for this one.
@@diegoborges1348 It was, but this episode was until recently exclusively on Dropout so lots of people saw them in the other order
Nothing will ever beat the episode where Brennan called Grant a “stinky little trash pig”.
I thought he called grant a sweet little toilet pig who wants his yummy-yummy crap 🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of the SNL skit (can’t remember the name) with the spelling be and the urophilliac. “Little pig boy comes from the dirt.”
Well now I have to know which one that is
I believe it was a spelling bee competition when James Franco hosted!
Every time Brennan is a compliment about Grant he looks like he’s dying inside

Power bottom? Bro, how’d you get that?
@@molly.dog8brooke792he generates an enormous amount of power
r u calling him gay? grant's not gay he's def a top
He's a bottom bottom
Brennan looks like he’s been locked in the Collegehumour basement between videos.
we never had a basement, possible he was hiding in the supply closet though
hes probably sampling different Oreo flavours
@@dropout You mean Sarah and David finally got out? Or did Brennan move in with them?
Hes locked in the dimension20 dome between episodes lol
@@sidmackay795 I feel it's more like he chooses to live there and no one can get him out because he hisses and throws dice at anyone who tries

I feel like Katie shouldn’t be allowed to do these anymore. She’s too good.
It's all the cocaine 👀
Honestly, it’s boring with her in them.
Well, luckily none of them are in these anymore, since they all got fired.
@@originalindigodingo laid off, more like it.
I think that exactly why she _should_ be on these
For someone who's usually so good at keeping a straight face absolutely nothing makes Brennan break on this show quite so consistently as Grant O'Brien's syphilis.
Revenge is a dish best served passive aggressively via teleprompter.
Just like my father always told me
My favorite thing is how they refused to give Grant even an INCH, the back handed shade. The barely contained disgust at Grant shamelessly flattering himself and forcing them to say it.
I- it’s amazing 😂
No need to give Grant inches, he's tall enough!
They actively stole inches from him. Then again, he has plenty to spare.
“My favorite memory of Grant is the vicious ass-kicking he will receive minutes after this broadcast ends.” Was gold.
"He behaves as though he was shot forward in time from Dustbowl-Era Indianapolis"
Suspiciously specific, yet somehow on the nose.
A brilliant sequel to "True Facts about Grant Anthony O'Brien."
E
God, Katie is a freaking BEAST on these "Don't Break" challenges.
something something cocaine
3:55 they misspelled vicious as viscous, which means to flow slowly and thickly like molasses (hence viscosity), which makes his viscous ass-kicking even funnier
My favourite thing about Grant is how he contrives situations where he will either be excessively praised (a kink) or ruthlessly humiliated (also clearly a kink).
Fun fact: Katie has never smiled.
Good for her, never give them the satisfaction I say.
She has a grand total of once.
@@PrimeofPerfection *grant total
She nailed it!
Do you meen on the show or just in general?
Well, we got what people asked for. A showdown with all the best players, and it was really good. Clean, straightforward, and allowed the jabs at Grant to be so clear and perfect.
Breaking News has cracked up me so much, and I'm so glad its back.
Genuinely one of the most fun series to make (and not just cuz 25% of it is about roasting Grant)
@@dropout yes
My favorite things about Grant are: The fact he can't eat solid foods after this aired, that he can't hold things without spilling them on himself, and that he thought he was going to get away with this atrocity.
Yeah, Keith is a pretty cool guy ain’t he.
This took me a second
Wait...Grant isn’t secretly Keith from BuzzFeed trying to work for both companies at the same time, is he?
@@EF-kk3vh They meant Grant's twin brother, Keith O'Brien
they even talk the same way 😭😭😭
Love the timing in 4:20 "and his rampant syphllis." followed by "I'll get in on that action"
I only broke when they went off scrip and started roasting Grant again.
Yeah it was aggresively unfunny until they turned it around.
it's sad that everyone was doing well because it was wildly unfunny ND it was all written by Grant so that's like double insult to injury... then they roasted him shitless so triple kill.
Even the person in charge of the news headlines at the bottom was roasting grant.
“Literally, he puts in ZERO effort”
“He puts the me in mensch”
(After ‘the only person he’s in competition with is himself) “Yet somehow still loses to self”
“The big bird brain himself”
(‘Here’s my favourite memory of Grant) “Remember that one time… With the sheep?”
I just realized Grant may be the most successful cat pretending to be a person ever.
"You know what I like about Grant? Nothing." Should go on some merchandise
Is anyone else unsurprised that Katie won this. I mean, her poker face is 10/10.
She gets so stone-faced in these she would easily win a staring competition with an actual statue.
I loved that she managed to make the others burst out laughing whilst looking dead inside 😂
It's like the script is designed to indirectly make people laugh by making people tell funny jokes at it's expense.
Damn you really cracked the code on this one boss
*its (possessive)
it's = contraction of "it is/has"
2:58 Brennan's pause is just priceless :)
Even the crew in the background couldn't hold their laughter
I really wished Brennan said "True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien" was his favorite Grant memory
I like that at 3:40 brennan was trying to be nice for a second. like he actually felt bad that he couldn't think of a fond grant memory
Oh man, the lore you guys established for your on screen characters is fun to follow along with. Everyone hating Grant is hilarious. It's not serious
I’m losing my mind. They said “field is spelled wrong” don’t they? But I don’t know when they ever wrote out field?!? I’m just so confused!
I'm also in the comments looking for someone to explain this. Sorry mate but I don't know where the field was.
I searched but my best guess was maybe it was a prompt in the teleprompter, like a bracketed field that wouldn't make its way into the crawl
Was probably spelled wrong on Brennan's role like "feild reporter" instead of field reporter. Which is why we don't see it as they don't list roles anymore
Same, was looking through the comments for some kind of explanation after watching the piece 4 times end to end.
Also couldn't find it. Please help 😅😂
brennan hasn't even started talking and he's already done with this
I feel like the banner headline jokes above the crawl don't get enough love. "Total Rehkal," "Hey, It's the D20 Guy!" and "Glass Half Empty of Tall Drink of Water" made me laugh so much it distracted me from the actual show lol. Great work, whoever does those!
Here's hoping for the survival of CollegeHumor
Feel bad for Grant but then his friends and people he trusts remind me how horrible he really is.
Thanks for the reminder guys. I will NEVER unlearn nor un-see the things I've learned about him!
what things???
syphilis
How did Grant get fired?
My favorite thing about Grant is that I put in the effort, and that's enough.
Thanks grant
I like how Brennan didn't miss a beat reading true facts but had to pause reading this
BREAKING NEWS: Trapp is gonna kill Grant next!!!!!
*Allegedly*
@@EF-kk3vh is that Pat murder actually solve or not?
@@kylianmolenbroek6138 Pat survived, and was seen seeking revenge... and then nothing. I'm guessing Trapp found out and killed him again.
Somehow I felt worse for Grant watching this episode than I did watching the true fact about Grant episode
Katie's so good at this.
I don’t think I laughed until they started making up their favorite things but then it got really funny.
"You know what I like about grant? That time he let us embaras him for 10 minutes streight. That was fun!"
HOW IS KATIE SO GOOD AT THIS??! I think i can count on one hand how many times she's laughed or smiled through all of these!!
Mr. Owl, how tall is Grant?
Let’s find out, one, t-hoo, ah three-
**bee hive falls on Grant**
You mean the beehive is on Grant.
I was literally just watching all of the Breaking News episodes, rewatched the Grant one twice, I was so happy to see this get uploaded now
Does....does Grant like to get bullied?
Actually......I’m starting to think he does
I think he did say he had a humiliation fetish on one of CH's live streams. Which was preceding the True Facts of Grant Anthony O'Brien episode.
Well, he IS a bottom.
I love how every time Grant writes a script they just end up roasting him
overjoyed to see brennan finds grant's syphilis as funny as ever!
This is honestly my favorite RUclips series
Watching Brennan get angrier and angrier as it went on was hilarious 😂
Grant had to have known all this was coming, and that's the funniest part of all of this
Grants payback for the previous episode about him is another episode about him...
I’m so glad there are more episodes! This is one of my favourite series on this channel :D
Grant had fun with this one, I feel.
My favorite things about Grant: he can be a live-action Jack Skelington, and his infinite capacity to brush off total public humiliation. Seriously, dude, that's a talent.
Ngl, I look forward to this series! I hope to see more of Zac tho, kinda miss him in skits
yknow I'd say my favorite thing about Grant is just how humble he is
i love how the majority of the replies from the channel are just "no amount of pain can get back at the writers for bullying grant that hard in that one other episode"
Gosh Katie is absolutely unstoppable in these. Just the stoniest of faces

Katie's ability to remain straight-faced in all of these is awesome. She is so good at not laughing lol.
obviously, there isn't an office to have stories in anymore
Katie is always a powerhouse in these, she is STOIC
Brennan's full second of silence before finishing the first "Grant" claim.
okay trapp's final line genuinely got me. fantastic comedic timing and delivery
This whole episode makes me want to rewatch the brutal massacre of Grant's reputation that was the True Facts episode of Breaking News.
The visible rage in everyone's face and voice
3:11 - When did the script say "field"?
I've been trying to find it ever since this video came out and I have completely idea! Maybe the joke was cut from the edit?
Katie have the best smile of them all. She is gorgeous when she smiles.
"Wet, loud, and stinky." So Grant is just a literal fart now?
If you press 9 really fast you can hear Brennan meeping
I'm pretty sure @2:09 is Katie actively trying not to lose it.
I’m sooooo glad y’all posted this
Omg I can already tell this is gonna be one of the best
I love that Grant leveraged an entire media company just to make this tinder ad.
I really really really want to see the real script that Grant wrote. About halfway through they all got super uncomfortable and started making up their own lines
Wow I cant believe u have 14 million subs I havent been on ur channel for years and then I seen how popular u have become really well done congrats 👏
