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.
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 RUclips channel name?
@@emunknown3395yeah, but where is he from?
Sam does love his magic
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?
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.
And him! Brennan! He'll be here for all time.
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
“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.
💯
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! ❤
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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) 😁
Lily Du’s outfits absolutely deserve at least 50% of the credit
100%
150%
200%
she is stunning
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)
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?
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.

Thank you!
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
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...
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?
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...
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” 😛
RIP CollegeHumor, LONG LIVE DROPOUT
The King is Dead, Long Live the King!
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
God thats adorable
"Dropout has quickly become my girlfriend" - You could have stopped there 😀
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
Can you believe this means Pat will be revived?
Finally Trapp can be held accountable for his actions
@@chops1689 *Alleged actions
@@chops1689Still waiting for Trapped in Darkness to launch
No one cares about Pat Cassells anymore, don't spill the beans
@@chops1689Why does everyone keep knowing Mike Trapp killed Pat Cassells, Pat's not even dead!
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.
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 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.
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
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.
Brennan trying to be indignant and almost laughing 😂 love it
I loved when Brennan was like I can’t be brought!!! and Sam was clearly trying not to break
@@sigh824 As we all know, Brennan will do anything for a point.

@@Mahrac126Um, actually, five points.
@@bdc.multifacetThat is correct. 1 point for you sir.
the amount of happiness I felt when I saw Ricky and Josh is indescribable
Just choose one. I cried a little
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.
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.

This is so damn true. I hate subscriptions but this is the wonderful exception that I don’t mind even a bit paying for
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!!
loving the vibes of literally any other company making a big bullshit announcement on a five year anniversary, while actually announcing almost nothing except for the death of trapp's computer interspersed with jokes about how brennan isn't allowed to leave. very Comedy. 5/5

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
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
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.
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.
4:43 Brennan proudly finishing the bag of chips like "give me an assignment and I won't miss"
It feel oddly right to bid CollegeHumor farewell. It was, and continues to be, an incredible journey. Thank you CollegeHumor, and goodbye old friend.
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

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.
Wow I've definitely never felt such warm feelings for a brand announcement before.
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.
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.
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!
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 💛

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 💛
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
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 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!
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.
I still can hardly believe that there's a company that I'm gladly paying money just to watch stuff online. Honestly, it feels like a patreon to make sure Dim20 keeps going for as long as there's a will
Preach
The D20 output is giving me Hamilton "Non-Stop" vibes to, like, a worrying degree.
Dropout actually HELPED me make it through University, funny enough. You guys helped me keep my sanity by giving me amazingly funny and chaotic things to watch. I’m so appreciative of this community, and proud to say I’m a fan!💛💛💛💛💛
Their wonderful team and content is keeping me sane right now as I go through college 😂❤
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!
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.
I don't think I've ever respected an organisation and the people that work for it more, you guys are doing oh such a good job, can't wait for what's next
Hey, Sam, gang here.
Every show on Dropout has a spark of passion behind it and driving it. I don't think I've watched a single show where I thought any of the cast didn't want to be part of the shoot. Don't be afraid to stick with what you love, and don't be afraid to try new things. Follow the passion and joy, and keep things genuine, and I'll write another comment on the 10 year anniversary video.
Dude the fact that Dropout exists without ad-revenue (minus their RUclips) is AWESOME.
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's crazy that this was the last college humor video.
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.
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
Ive grown so attached to these people. Knowing that they can continue to create what they enjoy makes me emotional.
I can tell Brennan was fighting for his LIFE not to break during the bit with Lily
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.
Ayy they put the captions up!. I've been a Dropout fan since the inception, and a College Humor fan since forever. I am so glad, that Dropout is officially a tried and true company. I'm proud to be a subscriber and I will REMAIN one. Thanks guys!
There is genuinely no other company with as much heart and soul behind it than this one. Anyone I meet who is tired of all the same old boring Hollywood and corporate shit out there, I always tell them about Dropout. It's gotten me introduced to DND, made me laugh harder than any comedy movie out there, and is a service I legit dropped (out) Netflix for. Not to mention that you guys have given us some of the best queer representation and overall diversity I've ever seen. Gay, straight, bi, black, asian, pacific islander, Hispanic, you name it! I could not be happier to be a Dropout subscriber, and I truly hope you all go so much further no matter what the world may look like, because in the darkest of times is when we need the widest of smiles and the heartiest of laughs! ❤
Ok, so we got Very Important People and now Smarty Pants. We got a preview of Nobody Asked. As far as new shows, Thousandaires is still a mystery, and caught wind of a cooking show in the works (I assume inspired by my Comment on Dimension 20 about needing some Food content on Dropout... You're welcome :D) I'm curious what Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up will be about. I'm so excited for Dropout!
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!
It's the end of an era and the beginning of another.
Congrats, everyone!
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!
CollegeHumor had me hooked in 2002 when it was just dumb internet links and memes. But over the years it developed into some of the best comedy around. Thank you Sam for saving it, and everyone who stuck around to keep us laughing despite the long odds. Wishing you another 20+ years of comedy gold as Dropout.
Proud to be a Dropout subscriber, keep up the good work Sam!
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.
You could say their parent company really "dropped out" on them
That was my audition to join the Dropout team thank you I'm really proud of my comedic talents 🙏
At least you didn't make a Covid joke....

Still a new viewer myself. Found this channel through Matt Mercer doing "Escape from Bloodkeep" on RUclips one day. Binged the whole thing. Then caught Brennan on Critical Role doing the "Calamity" story line and had to find more. Happy to say I picked up my own subscription to Dropout (did the yearly price) about 4 months ago and couldn't be happier. Thank you to the amazing staff, in all facets of the company, for all the hard work and dedication!
3:52 missed out on the perfect opportunity for Trapp to say "um, actually... that's my computer"
Love that the laptop they use is probably as old as college humor is considering it has a disk drive 4:13
Ah! My husband and I are new fans to dropout. We couldn't be happier supporting an amazing group of people. We've fully cut all streaming services except dropout. :)
welcome! there's SO MUCH GREAT STUFF for you to find!!!
Dropout has been like Roosterteeth in reverse.
Its like if Burnie and good work conditions stayed throughout the whole time
I had no idea that exactly when I came to this channel was when you were struggling. I’m glad I did. Y’all were my reward for myself for sticking through hard times. I lost a lot of friends and family during Covid for various reasons. You kept me laughing. You made my first apartment of my own feel less empty when listening to your podcasts. You were my stress relief when I was learning how to figure out disability insurance. I’m so glad I even got to play a small part in keeping your company alive.
This is so sweet. Sam should see this. :D
Dropout is easily my favorite streaming service. It's all quality content.
I love this message. You are quite literally the only businesses that I just can't stand not being a member. I've never wanted to support a company so much before. I flipping hate engaging capitalism lol.
why?
You shouldn’t, it’s why you’re even alive rn
@Willy_Warmer it's a complicated answer but just know I love this channel with all my heart🥹
Now I can watch the channel without the soul crushing reminder I never finished college! Thank you Dropout!
Wait...
Layers
I started watching this channel before I started college. I finished college almost a decade ago.
So good.
Wait till he figures out the meaning of the word Dropout
One of the things I've realized that CH and Dropout did was make everything feel like an inside joke.
Bravo
Love that the name, icon, and banner all changed as soon as the video finishes. Great job guys!
I loved CollegeHumor, especially right towards the end. It was saddening when it went under but it was equally so cool seeing Dropout rise from its ashes like the phoenix. Congratulations to you all! What you've accomplished is truly special!
congrats on 5 years buzzfeed! thank god you’re not that college humor company
