One of my all time favourites. Right behind 'A King and A Queen and Three Children Surrounding A Sword Chair During The Day With A dragon And Lady in The Background Too.'
I love how the guys have so much faith in Flugson. Sam tries to save him with the name test then despite that streeter lowers the bar with identifying the letter B.
Just like real politics, where people in positions of power have no e experience or technical knowledge to command the instutitions they are put in charge of.
I don't necessarily dislike the new Collegehumor staff, but some of the older sketchers are genuinely brilliant. This one's hilarious and so many subtitles, like the casual anti-semitism or how he snatches Vinnie's book. Such a good era for the channel
Finally a fuckin mesured opinion about the subject. I do too watch the new content, but i prefer the 2009-2012/2013 era. I hate when "old fanboys" think they're being cool by sayin "oh, it isn't funny anymore". It is funny now: but it was funnier back then.
Agreed with the level of complexity being much higher with the old cast. The new sketches are here’s a concept e.g if people acted the way they acted on dating apps in real life. Then it’s just a series of amusing examples played against various straight men. It’s one dimensional
@@mikecantreed I wouldn't the ideas were more complex just the execution. I like the new guys, but I like these more because of the vintage look a long with the vintage execution, really gritty compared to the new things which are more campy.
the new staff are objectively bad and don't put jokes in their sketches. IT's OK to admit this. It's ok to point out the good actors/actresses they have are given crap material and the rest are useless diversity hires who are worthless and would never be more than a background character in the olden days.
a lot of old collegehumor was driven by outside forces of comedy, like in this video where the intense and hilarious jon gabrus showcases his talents. and these people brought in not only their humor and skills to the writing side but also helped the staff at the time harness their improv powers. this eras staff was funniest for the same reason often say "jake and amir is the pinnacle of CH", because much of it was genuine riffing and on the spot ideas that ended up being brilliant
This is actually a thing that really happened. Guy wanted to know what was in the books but couldn't read, so organized a book club so others would read it to him.
I can’t believe I’ve just found this video, and I’ve been watching collegehumor for years. This is so fucking funny 😂 I love the way he says that he isn’t “in charge” but then when David tells him to read he immediately uses his power of being in charge
I imagine that to this day no one has told Dan they no longer respect Fluegson. How even now, almost a decade later, Dan still drives to the old college humor offices twice a week, waits for bookclub to start, copy of to kill a mockingbird in hand, and never understands why no one else shows up. Don't dare tell him ye children, Dan lives in a magical world where Fluegson is still respectable, we have no right to deny him that innocence!
Honestly? Dan brought Beef Gurewitch to the office multiple times. If ever I see him on the streets, I'll ruin his innocence fully and completely and then run from him, far and fast.
I just finished re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I previously "read" it in highschool but had no recollection from that time. The first thing I did when I closed the book was rewatch this skit haha. Flugson 4ever!
I think the hate CH gets sometimes is unnecessary. They can't always hit the mark, even though I personally like 90% of the stuff they do. But this is one that should have 0 dislikes. Whoever wrote this episode should be given more power! 3:23 is just genius..
@Riku9111 Actually he's not refering to the beatles song blackbird. He's just describing the cover of the book. I thought he was refering to the beatles at first too, but then he said it again while looking at the cover of the book so my guess is it's what the cover looks like.
You can still make jokes like that, they just can't be lazy. "You must be a Jew" is pretty lazy. Not saying it isn't funny, but it's not particularly clever either.
I love David's insane, worried overreaction to there being a group of men around a table in an office.
I would like this comment, but I feel like you have just enough likes.
@@owen-cu6gr We must protect this comment
@@ElijahsBrain looks like you did a great job
I like how no one has mentioned the OP has 'Middle of Nowhere' by Hanson as their pic. No messing around: good album.
Nothing is greater than David's legitimate astonishment and anger against people reading in a circle.
Rhombus*
John Gabris' acting as he tries to write 'Flügson' on a piece of paper is truly rhombus.
Nikolaus Cox it truly is, ya fat Jew.
What an astute observation...

One of my all time favourites. Right behind 'A King and A Queen and Three Children Surrounding A Sword Chair During The Day With A dragon And Lady in The Background Too.'
that book is truly rhombus

"yawn tree tote fish cover" beautiful stuff
I’ve always loved that he just gives up the accent by the end
That makes it better thank you for pointing this out.
Very subtle, very John Wolf

“Eight months, give or take seven, take.” One of the best lines of any Hardly Working. Hilarious
still use it everyday
It's truly rhombus at this point!
always chuckle to myself when I think of that line, it's too good
The level of acting is just astounding
Brandon Lee it's fucking rhombus
You sir must be a jew
"I........cannot read" this guy deserved a fucking oscar
Breathtaking delivery
"I show up every week on time and now you accuse me of being ILLITERATE?!?"
I love how the guys have so much faith in Flugson. Sam tries to save him with the name test then despite that streeter lowers the bar with identifying the letter B.
but they weren't trying to save him, they were exposing him.
@@WillToWinvlogwhat an astute observation. you sir, must be a Jew
THIS IS BECOMING TRULY RHOMBUS AT THIS POINT!
"We still respect flügsen, right?" Lmaoo so good
Ah, Bird Flying Away from Tree in the Middle of the Night Moon. One of my favorite novels. Truly a masterpiece.
Rhombus, even
Don't forget the sequel: Dark Tree Possibly At Night Waiting for The Train (go set a watchman) lol.
Truly Rhombus
This is officially the best username.
Eight months. Give or take seven, take.
The story of an illiterate person trying his best to maintain a book club is quite inspiring
Reminds me of blackkklansman
nazi's are illiterate
Just like real politics, where people in positions of power have no e experience or technical knowledge to command the instutitions they are put in charge of.
Dan always has the best one liners

that'd be just as embarassing on all of them in the book club for not noticing for 4 whole meetings
What an astute observation! You, my friend, must be a Jew!
Your avatar makes this so much better.
You fat Jew!
*Worse. Not better. Definitely worse.

Professional reading garb.

Rewatching after Geoffrey had David on the Headgum podcast
Yup same
Where do I find this? I want to listen
What episode?
@@jonnil1997 55
This is like LITERALLY my favorite skit EVER! It's truly the epitome of Rhombus!
It took him 3 and a half minutes to admit he can't read.
“7-8 months give or take, 7, take” that’s brilliant
Almost ten years later, I still use "Give or take, ____ , take."
“This is getting truly rhombus at this point.” 😂😂😂
This is maybe the greatest Hardly Working ever.
"Much like that little SCAMP... and his coco puffs."
I love that he change glasses before reading, like that makes any difference XD
Flukeson? Must be Amir's friend
Everyone looks so genuinely concerned about his ability to read, it’s amazing
Even when the whole video is brilliant, CH always manages to make the ending hysterical.
Wait, so he's been running the book club for a month?
Well it was 8 months, give or take 7.... take. If I do the math, it's pretty rhombus.
Or 15 months
This video permanently changed my vocabulary
when he breaks at 3:10...fucking great sketch boys
He breaks again at 4:13 and it's hilarious
when collegehumor was charming and funny
2:28 Beatles references are the best.
I love Bird flying away from a tree in the middle of the night moon, it's my favorite book.
David was out of line. He shows up EVERY week on time.
my all time favorite hardly working right here
Underrated
the more I watch this the funnier it gets
This is by far the best collegehumor video I've ever watched! Watched it 5 times in a row and still can't get enough!
fucking golden age
we didn't know how good we had it
I just finished re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I previously "read" it in highschool but had no recollection from that time. The first thing I did when I closed the book was rewatch this skit haha. Flugson 4ever!
3:10 LOOK AT VINNY CRACK UP AND BREAK HIS STRAIGHT FACE LMAO
Been watching this for 7 years bruh the description😂😂😂
holy crap the to kill a mockingbird books they have are the same exact design as the ones we have to read at school xD
no way. tell me more
what an astute observation
Everyone stop this is getting pretty Rhombus at this point
"8 Month. Give or take 7, take." Will forever be the funniest fucking line from this video
Glass Onion (2022)
The way Streeter says "What letter is this?" kills me everytime.
"I.. cannot read... I can sing! IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII cannot sing." xD Dead
Or that moment when this video has been your favorite for a long time and you forgot it existed, only to find it again!
John Gabrus! Yay!
One of the funniest moments in this sketch is when Fluksen switches his glasses to actually read the book
Woa, just straight passed out with my eyes open what'd i miss?
We still respect Flukeson right?
LMAO Dan is the best
The cargo shorts at the end are what made me laugh the hardest.
I wish they’d still make these kind of jokes
I miss these
I like how when he gets up hes wearing frickin camo cargos haha.
That man ran a book club for 8 months while illiterate. HES A GENIUS
8 months.. Give or take 7......take
the best video in a while. bravo
"You my friend must be a jew" I almost died laughing
This probably one of my favourite College Humor videos and I just don't know why!
my favorite part is when he trys to read but is explaining the front cover of how to kill a mockingbird.
Hahaha camo shorts when he gets up at the end was a nice touch.
2:28
Beatles reference? :P
Another good episode!
i'm laughing far too hard at this
I love how the automatic subtitles change Flukeson's name every time. 0:49 it reads flughhhh zan
Me trying to answer questions in class.
Did he just call Sam “Salmon” at 1:03?
Samuel.
"What an astute observation. You my friend must be a Jew." WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN????!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
If you just watch all the hardly working videos nothing makes sense
Guess.
He's saying we're observant and intuitive. I think that's a compliment... Or it's just a funny video that's not supposed to mean sh*t.
MegaGem It means he's a Jew.
MegaGem It's probably supposed to make us feel less bad for Flukeson.
This is my favorite sketch
Geoff, bad pod? nah bad you
I think the hate CH gets sometimes is unnecessary. They can't always hit the mark, even though I personally like 90% of the stuff they do. But this is one that should have 0 dislikes. Whoever wrote this episode should be given more power!
3:23 is just genius..
I think he's a male Ursula.
Best video in ages...
David is a hater fr
@Riku9111 Actually he's not refering to the beatles song blackbird. He's just describing the cover of the book. I thought he was refering to the beatles at first too, but then he said it again while looking at the cover of the book so my guess is it's what the cover looks like.
"you must be a Jew" Jesus Christ. I miss the days where humour like this was okay.

@@adamrodger5351okay jew.
It’s actually somewhat impressive Flügson ran the book club for 7 months and nobody noticed he was illiterate until now.
He only ran it for one month
@@shawnyadeadhomie Are you calling Flugson a liar????
Ellitterate...
Vincent is awesome he needs to be in more videos
Ya John Gabris is back. i thought he had left. Good to see he didn't get a big head after being on Cash Cab.
i wonder how they manage to get this to thje correct aspect ratio so it fills the whole youtube player and still is in only 360 p
By far the funniest CH video in the History of CH.
The audio is amazing
why doesnt snl just steal all of the hardly working sketches...coming back to these...some of them were gold
this skit is really awesome. collegehumor really outdid themselves
1:48 David’s reaction is so fucking funny 😂
For some reason Is one of my favourite passages
Dan at the end is the meme equivalent of the guy waking up from a coma asking about something that's gone
best sketch ever
