I redid my Tumblr design
pile:
It’s not done yet, but please let me know what you think so far.
Oh man I think this looks fucking awesome. Pile has a really good eye for style.

Ace and Jocelyn - Episode 4jake, did you really throw up?
There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not I really threw up in the last Jake and Amir- which you shouldn’t watch if you have a weak stomach. The answer, Lauren and everyone else who asked me, is yes. Although it wasn’t entirely intentional. For some reason I went out pretty late last Tuesday, and on Wednesday I was really, really hungover. So much so that I threw up 4 times at work.
As I was being a complete waste of space, lying on the office beanbag moaning, Amir had the brilliant idea that we should film me puking and somehow later work it into a Jake and Amir. As he was filming we just started ad-libbing an Ace and Jocelyn. Also notable in this episode are the clips of Amir running across the screen which he shot while he was in Argentina and we have been trying to figure out how to incorporate for weeks.

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
AB: Penguin. Next.
JH: She asked you why.
AB: Because they can fly.
JH: No they can’t.
AB: Oh.
That’s an excerpt from an interview Amir and I did for The California State University Newspaper. You can check out the whole thing here. Also, just for clarification, Amir is the one who yelled the “Spread the word” thing at the end. Not me.

So Facebook NYC and CollegeHumor are having an epic beer pong battle next week. It was all fun and games until I saw this sponsored ad in my newsfeed this morning. Now it’s fucking on.

The CollegeHumor All Nighter was enormously fun. I want to thank the people we talked with in the chat room all night, who had such specific questions that they are obviously reading this (and every CH) blog. We had a lot of fun on the live stream, and it definitely kept everyone going even when things hit a lull.
All ten videos we made overnight are collected in one place here.
I second everything Jeff said and want to add that the whole Edit, Originals and Dev team did such an awesome job with this. God we’re such a well oiled machine. Even our interns were awesome enough to come out and join us. This is what sets us apart from those other lame ass humor sites, whatever their names are.

Oops! CollegeHumor didn’t make enough videos before the end of the school year, and now we’ve got to pull an all-nighter.
We’re going to be staying up from 9 pm Thursday to 9 am Friday writing, shooting, and posting Hardly Workings. We’ll also be streaming the production live and doing some live Q&A via a chat room (there will be links on the front page of CollegeHumor once we get started).
Nobody’s sponsoring this, we’re doing it because we want to. Should be interesting!
I’m pumped for this. I really just hope something like this happens again.
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Amir and I got invited to be speakers at The New York City Videoblogging May Meeting. We’re pretty excited! If you want to go, reserve your tickets now, there are only 14 left!
