I watched this years ago, but I came back after I was an RA myself. It’s true. I’ve personally said the very sentence, “I don’t want to be the bad guy, but it’s quiet hours.”
It’s also true that nobody liked you and you filled a completely useless position. Hope you enjoyed your free dorm room, cuz you werent cool enough to live off campus and have actual fun in college. The dorm is for freshmen. All other residents are tools.
@@iateyursandwiches If you're really obnoxiously loud, they will take action, but generally no. You would never have designated hours where you needed to be quiet. I can see why you would, but people in my halls would just say if something was preventing them sleeping.
my first year our RA left halfway through the semester it was anarchy for about a week then tribalism then turned into kind of a democratic oligarchy where one or two caucuses controlled the floor... was fun much less rules and the ones that existed were followed
R.A.s are weird. It seems that you can either get the coolest person on earth, or someone who's nastier than Satan's ball sac, there doesn't seem to be any in between.
This is so true. Sophomore year I had one who was a friend of ours and would drink with us even though all of (including her) were underage, but I’ve also had ones who are complete dicks
XD The student from another floor that shat in their bathroom is an evil genius and is probably watching them implode with a sick grin from the background.
Why were they all freshmen RA's? I've never had an RA act like this outside of a freshman floor. The other RA's just sorta had a meeting in the beginning to tell us "Don't fuck my shit up and I wan't fuck your shit up. And If I can smell your weed in my room you're getting in trouble."
As an RA, let me tell you how that first conversation would have gone: "Hey Emily, Keith, Tashanna, Brie,..guys, I don't think any of our residents have shown up." "...Actually, Chris, I don't know if we have any residents. Lets all go back to my room and pull up the roster." *later* "...Okay. It appears that none of the other communities on campus have RAs at all." "We should probably report this." "Probably. But let's give it a month. Not having to document people sounds really relaxing, as does avoiding moving people in." "Alright! In that case, who wants to turn the floor community room into video game & leftover christmas candy central?" *All* "Let's do it!"
@@AdrianCChase The worst part about being an RA for me was how alienated it made me feel and how my role was essentially to act like a cop. You don't get invited to parties (because you're supposed to bust them), people don't hang out with you (because they don't see you as one of them), and dating around is much harder (not only because it's forbidden in your contract, but because you're an authority and people might think you're taking advantage of that). All-around a terrible experience that I wouldn't recommend to anybody. Ice cold weather and being 3,000 miles away from my parents didn't help either. It sent me into a deep depression and a crippling loneliness that I eventually overcame by studying abroad for my final semester (this time _not_ as an RA). I'm not saying being an RA was the source of all my problems, but being one certainly made things a lot worse. To anyone reading this: don't become an RA, you guys.
RAs are actually mad useful and can be amazing individuals. My floor had to deal with a suicide and the RAs on every floor made sure our floor was ok and checked in on everyone.
Can confirm. We all lived on the same floor for a month before our students moved in. We would go to training from 8am-6pm, go out and get lit at night, then repeat.
lmao this brings back memories... I was an RA in University when this came out and the building team I was part of laughed heavily to this during one of our meetings. You don't quite get how truly good the jokes in this are til you've put on a jacket, picked up the pager for a shift and tried to get bored teenagers to come to a hosue meeting haha
As an RA the “come on you guys we’re all adults” after the shit in the shower stall is so true 🤣 last semester one of my residents thought leaving their pubes on the toilet after shaving would be cute
RA's seem so wholesome. My British equivalent of RA's would play drinking games with us and encourage people to down their drinks in one. They offered to guide me to the store when I didn't have alcohol on the first night😂
I'm an RA rn, and I just finished sweeping water and waiting for the campus police to show up. Bc a drunk student got a hold of his roommates fencing sword, decided to LARP in the hallway end ended up decapitating the sprinkler head clean off sending gallons of water throughout the building. Now the floors 8 and below probably have water damage but it's 4 am so I don't care now
Being a student on that floor would suck! All of them are "bad guys" as far as I'm concerned and I'm pretty sure that a student from another floor pooped there because they knew it was an all R.A. floor.
I suggest having programs that occur frequently at the same time each week. My house knew that every friday at 8pm was movie night and they could vote for movies to watch using facebook or doodle polls. Also try doing programs that you've never heard of before. Your university likely has a chemistry professor willing to sponsor your programs and get you access to dry ice and liquid nitrogen (convince them playing is learning and drawing attention to the awesomeness of chemistry is important).
My RA sold weed, and his boss sold coke. It was never quiet ever, ever. Fireworks in the hall, people on my floor had cats and dogs. The RA upstairs had a telescope that he used to spy on the freshman girls dorm just across the field. Another RA broke his arm falling three stories on a "get to know you" panty raid. The kegerator my roommate had in our room was considered blase. After the first week it all seemed perfectly normal. MSU '89. GO BULLDOGS!
I watched this years ago, but I came back after I was an RA myself.
It’s true. I’ve personally said the very sentence, “I don’t want to be the bad guy, but it’s quiet hours.”
no one wants to be the bad guy here but also it is quiet hours
Do most American Unis have quiet hours?
@@ionia2376 why not?
Don't other countries do the same thing?

You can tell this is OG College Humor bc of that camera work
You can tell it's OG college humor because it's funny
You can tell it’s OG College Humor cause it’s actually about college

I once had an RA that was so apathetic, he walked in on my friend polishing a rusty machete, and continued checking rooms like business as usual.
This is so true. Sophomore year I had one who was a friend of ours and would drink with us even though all of (including her) were underage, but I’ve also had ones who are complete dicks
@Siddesh Gannu Was his name Randy?
My RA bought us weed and beer
As someone who was an RA and became a supervisor to other RAs, I can confirm this statement is in fact true.
JOSH HOW THE FUCK CAN IT BE QUIET HOUR 5 MINUTES BEFORE LUNCHTIME WTF
They might have been 55 minutes into quiet hour
haven't you ever heard of leaving the building in the middle of the night for lunch
+Matthew Potts it's lunch time somewhere in the world
Finals week perhaps?
where I go quiet hours are technically 24 hours, but it's not super enforced until finals week and midterms
The amount of false sincerity in this makes me sad.
Ugh, P-U, you guys!
XD The student from another floor that shat in their bathroom is an evil genius and is probably watching them implode with a sick grin from the background.
P U you guys...
It could've been one of the RAs.
Also OMG it has been 7 years
I’m trying to figure out how this is funny, do you know?
This is what it must be like living in Canada.
Pretty close. I'm Canadian
I was an RA in Canada. This was 100% accurate.

I hope youre constantly using "hey guys" and "i don't mean to be the bad guy, but..."
hey guys dont mean to be the bad guy here but you all know no internet use past 9
Uh I dont mean to be the bad guy buuuuut..its after quiet hours thanks :) :):):)

And then the one RA who's a by-the-book kissass would go back to his room and report it right then.
I just imagined a jump freeze frame at the end.
As someone who knew RAs, let me just say that you suck.
@@pathutchison9866 someone has some issues. Lol

I was an RA for a year and this is so funny cause I remember thinking how scripted a lot of the people I worked with seemed to be at times.

I wish my RA enforced quiet hours. I'm still catching up on sleep from freshman year...
2008 was a great year for CH on YT.
remember staff isn't allowed to help!
Streeter and Sarah ended up writing for SNL after their work on CollegeHumor. It makes me so happy!
RAs are actually mad useful and can be amazing individuals. My floor had to deal with a suicide and the RAs on every floor made sure our floor was ok and checked in on everyone.
I remember watching this as a kid. Makes so much more sense now that I'm in college.
Leaving for college in three weeks. these videos are scaring me
TFW I realize you were in 1st grade when I went to college.
Fuck.
Some RA's are like this, most are pretty chill. Don't worry about anything.
i didn't know people my dads age said "TFW"
Don't sweat it. RAs are college students just like you. The RAs I had were more to themselves (introverted) than extroverted like these characters.
Move to Tacoma Washington and go to the satellite campus of THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE evergreen.edu/tacoma/home.htm

lmao! Definitely my fav. part of the video. That guy is dedicated.
hey i just wanna say ur pfp looks beautiful :)
Ah, back when CollegeHumor was actually... CollegeHumor.
Literally seeing this after they changed the name. Dang
This was, like, their 5th skit to be explicitly College themed
Thank God its not anymore
Some say they're still stuck in the human knot to this day
I've always wondered what would happen if you put all the RAs in one floor..*
Oh, really? Well, in that case you should totally watch the above video. It will give you some insight.
DEMONCOOKIE666 I see what you did there, clever minx.
When I was an RA on weekend we would go out clubbing together. So I only imagine it would be a lit time without having to put up with all the bullshit
Can confirm. We all lived on the same floor for a month before our students moved in. We would go to training from 8am-6pm, go out and get lit at night, then repeat.
Mostly just bitch about supervisors and other higher-ups. Speaking from painful experience.
2:30 Wait... so they were going to have 'lunch' at like 10:00 P.M.?
Quiet hours are bullshit in college dorms...trust me, I know.
Teddy Graham I can confirm. I live on a 24 hour quiet floor.
Those exist? Good lord. We didn't enforce our quiet hours... Half the floor were classical vocalists, and they practiced at all hours of the night.
Quiet hours end at 10 AM on my floor
That’s definitely college right there lmao
lmao this brings back memories... I was an RA in University when this came out and the building team I was part of laughed heavily to this during one of our meetings. You don't quite get how truly good the jokes in this are til you've put on a jacket, picked up the pager for a shift and tried to get bored teenagers to come to a hosue meeting haha
My RA suggested this video and oh my god is this EXACTLY how all the RAs here are. I couldn't stop laughing
This is quite literally the humor that CollegeHumor was initially targeted on lol
I didn’t know a single RA that acted like this. Every RA I knew was way chill
I miss the OG Collegehumor, but now that I see this video was uploaded over 12 years ago... my heart hurts. Am I getting old?
This is a confidential R.A training program in a facility that has been kept secret for years
This has been my favourite collegehumor video for like 4 years.
Just finished my year as an RA and this is depressingly true for too much of the housing staff I worked with
Man throwback CH really is a vibe
WOW... There isn't a single original College Humour cast member left... sad.
James Humphrey pat?
@@TCt83067695 Trap killed him
Sometimes people move on to other projects. It doesn't necessarily reflect bad on the person or company.
How about, an original comment.
Caldwell still works there, he just doesn’t usually act in the sketches. He does voices for animated sketches still.
This was my favorite era of College Humor
I love the guy at the end, not because of his line but because he's one of the best collegehumor people
"Staff isn't allowed to help" lmao
Lol this is exactly like kindergarten but adult version
Watched this in mid school, never understood the humor until I finally got into my freshman dorm.😂
15 years later and I'm still curious who crapped in the shower on an all-RA floor
This is one of my favorite college humor episodes. :)
Some nights I lie awake... ceaselessly wondering whether they ever escaped that human knot
Remember, staff isn't allowed to help.

Yup. By the time this was posted, I was starting my senior year of college. Very sobering thought.

It's been a minute sense I've seen the old CH cast, good times 😊
Note to self: crap in the shower to save time.
LOL I watched this back in High School and now that I'm in college I can relate to it so much more...remember, staff isn't allowed to help.
this is why i moved out of the dorms and into my own place
surprisingly accurate
Except presumably eventually one of them would figure out that they're all using the same stock phrases and realize the issue.
Literally all my RA's get obliterated every weekend
Watched this 10 years ago at the age of 8... now I’m in college. Time flies
If it’s quiet hours when they’re getting lunch then finals are probably going on which means they all lived like that for entire semester.
“Going to lunch in 5” but it’s quiet hours 😭
lol. This is hilarious. I'm an RA and I have a feeling that our staff would be like this if we were all on the same floor..
1:54 im sorry literally all i can think when this guy comes up is the michael jordan basketball phone

I love Josh! At the very end..hey guys!
Hey guys, I don't wanna be the bad guy but *taps watch two times, and holds hand up in confusion*
Every single joke landed for me with these original sketches!
I miss my dorm floor. We would create fireballs with hairspray and a lighter. The RA's hated us.
Oh god.....The acting is so real it hurts e_e
I’m an RA now, and holy shit is this accurate
This reminds me of my first semester in university
I wish I lived on an all-RA floor, man, my next door neighbor was the WORST.

these are soo much more hilarious when you actually live in college
I just saw an ad at the beginning of this video for a company that didn't exist when this video was published
Would be relateable if my RA followed the rules
this is the best college humor video and it's from 2008
I'm dying this is too accurate
