- Hey guys, Sam here, I'm going to talk to you about
CollegeHumor, the YouTube channel and comedy "empire"
that's really just the people you see here.
This is TJ, he does VFX.
Quit showing off buddy.
I started running CollegeHumor's video team
ten years ago when I looked like this.
Gross.
Those were the weirder, humbler days of the internet.
Remember Yvonne's World?
- [Director] And action.
- Making internet videos is challenging, mostly because it
pays dick and dick doesn't pay for internet videos.
- I don't understand, this script calls
for a knight, castle and a dragon.
- Would you settle for me, the conference room, and my dog?
- I can't say no to that.
- Sure we get advertisers on CollegeHumor but advertisers
rarely wanna make the same stuff we do,
like for instance, the new season of Troopers.
- I've returned to destroy your planet.
- Instead, they wanna make branded content.
- With a blast of flavor from Chompsky's Potato Chips.
Now eat the chips.
- I can't eat through the mask.
- That's why we got into T.V., to make bigger, better shows.
But on T.V. we answer to the Networks, and the Networks
answer to, you guessed it, Chompsky's Potato Chips.
So we can't make anything as R rated as say, Precious Plum.
- So he's sayin' T.V. ain't want us?
- Fuck a bag.
- Oh, can't say that, we suggest eat a bag
of Chompsky's that is.
- I can't stay mad at you.
Hey, don't be a sell out!
- Nowadays, many of our YouTube videos
are deemed controversial and don't make any money.
Controversial can mean anything
as small as say, implied nudity.
- For the record he is completely naked.
- Well the script called for it, so.
- It actually called for implied nudity,
you heard him, right? - We're already here.
- Didn't you Uber here, by the way?
- We'll blur it on the day.
- Which is why you didn't need to be naked.
- So what do we do; how do we produce the shows
we want and you want, without watering them down
for advertisers or networks?
The answer is, by going straight to you.
Today we're announcing Dropout,
our new subscription service.
With Dropout you'll get access to new, bigger, better,
longer uncensored shows from the people behind CollegeHumor.
(whip cracking)
- Faster minions, faster!
- No it's upside down, I don't like that.
Too large, too easy.
- Look, I get it, a lot of you aren't gonna wanna pay
for this and that's fine, we'll still be releasing
all of the free videos we normally do.
In fact, we'll be releasing more,
many free episodes of our new shows for instance,
so this should be a win-win for everyone.
But for those of you who do subscribe,
we'll be working tirelessly to make it worth your while
and we'll be doing that with shows from
this guy, and that guy, and her
and her and him and this guy and I don't know who this is
and digital comics and funny chat stories and, Chompsky's?!
(crowd booing, yelling)
- You can leave the chips though!
(robust music)
- Yeah, jesus man.
- Hug me.
- This might sting a lil'.
- It stings a lot.
- Um, actually, and I hate that I know this.
- They've got a real good like, 'rrmm' face.
- (laughs) 'rrmm'.
- That 20.
- Who's the coolest guy in the world?
- I am.
(screaming)
- Do I have to do the whole thing?
(laughs)
- You look like American Psycho.
- Tattoo of genital sores and cuts.
- Oh my god. - Jesus.
- Well that's just awesome.
