“It’s truly awesome how in recent years, CollegeHumor has birthed its own stable of talent. If the Internet’s not buzzing about the CH founders, it’s talking about you guys or the Prank War or Moberg or the latest video on CHTV. CH/CV is creating and defining our collective web experience as well as our culture in a number of different ways. Has that been the business plan all along?”
That’s a question that was asked in an interview Jake and Amir did on The Apiary today. I smiled a big smile when I read that. Years ago, when people asked me what my long term goals were for CH, I told them two things. First, that I wanted to make CollegeHumor the dominant comedy brand for young males for the web, tv, film, books, and live tours. And second, that I wanted to create a “stable of talent” that would write, act in, produce, and direct all that stuff. To see that phrase used independently in a description of CollegeHumor is awesome.
I’m so fucking proud of everybody in that “stable” and what we’re accomplishing.
Ricky did good.
I have gained 18 pounds since I moved to New York. I think this is mainly because when I moved here I started eating meat. I’m not ready to give up meat again, but I am officially giving up the following foods which I deem the biggest offenders to my diet.
- Bacon
- French Fries
- Breaded Chicken
I think just saying that in my head wouldn’t be enough. I needed to tumble it. Now I am accountable. If you see me eating these foods, tease me mercilessly.
I have never in my life felt so concerned about my appearance than I have since I started school here. I have never felt like such an outsider before. So far today sucks.
Don’t worry Julia, I love you!
I was in a Dunkin Donuts the other day when it was closing. While I stood there, the woman behind the counter was placing all of the donuts into a large garbage bag.
“Are you throwing those out?”
“Yes.”
“Can I have them?”
“No.”
To me, that is fucking insanity.
When my little brother was just about a year old I remember watching my dad playing with him one night. I must have been 8 or 9. My dad was sitting on the floor in the living room with his back against the couch. He was lifting Mikey up over his head and laughing while he made some kind of sound I can hardly immitate, much less type out.
It was kind of like, “Gablaagh!”
Mikey was fucking loving it. He was laughing hysterically. And this made my dad laugh harder, and lift him higher. Then, right at their peak, when he was directly over my dad’s laughing mouth, Mikey spit up. He spit up a lot- more than I had ever seen him spit up before. It went all over my dad’s face, his hair, in his mouth, everywhere.
This story has no point, no lesson, no moral. But it was hilarious. And it makes me miss my Dad and my little brother a little bit.

I’m proud to introduce Muxtape, a new way to share, discover, and listen to hand-picked music online. Starting right now you can create a muxtape and upload up to twelve songs curated by you (instead of a cold computer algorithm), then share it in a simple, elegant player as easily as giving out a link like justin.muxtape.com.
I’ve been working on this literally every spare moment I’ve had for the past few weeks so I’m very excited to be at a point where I can start sharing it with everyone. Please give it a try and tell me what you think (good or bad, bug report or feature request.) My goal is nothing short of changing the way we consume, distribute, and discover music. Follow this tumblr for future developments.
I agree with everyone else. This is fucking awesome.
