DROPOUT By CollegeHumor

I adore Dimension 20 and it was the reason I got Dropout in the first place- but I’m so glad I decided to browse around for more content. If you’re unsure about getting a Dropout subscription because you just want D20, here is some more content I’d like to shout out: Total Forgiveness- For when you want a reality show to take you on an emotional rollercoaster. It’s full of laughs as well as moments that will make you cry and cringe. It’s very real and very raw and so worth the watch. Tales from the closet- listening to such a diverse group of queer people is incredibly refreshing. It’s incredibly validating to hear about different LGBG experiences that don’t get shown in most media. Troopers- a super fun Star Wars spoof! A good easy watch, much akin to short shows that pop up on Netflix. Game Changer- a hilarious game show that switches up every episode. It’s incredibly entertaining and every cast member / contestant brings something to the table.

I signed up during quarantine to binge all the Dimension20 I couldn’t get otherwise, I’ve watched everything now and looking forward to more. Really nice to be able to save these shows on my device to watch later as well. In the meantime I’ve also found Breaking News, Um, Actually and Game Changer to brighten up my days in these dark times. I love Tales from the Closet too and I’ve listened to that on podcast when I’m out and about. I work in an centre for the arts so it’s not been possible for me to work or see friends for months now so to hear these conversations and feel a sense of queer community from this show has been so good. Also, I’m just getting the hang of Discord, on which Dropout seems to have a really cool, active community to join if you sign up. But yeah, the Dropout app is really good and I use it a lot now.

As someone that always found CollegeHumor’s sketches very hit or miss with more an emphasis on the miss I never expected to be impressed when I heard of their subscription service, but the amount of inspired, charming, diverse shows and ideas showcased here makes it almost feel like they just needed a better platform to show off what they were truly capable of. This kind of quality and experimentation from what is now an independent company feels rare and is worth supporting both for the amount of joy it has brought me and the amount of joy I want CollegeHumor and DROPOUT to continue providing. Could not recommend highly enough to anyone with a passing interest in comedy.

I’ve known the works of college humour since the days when they had the “huh” at the ends of the videos, and after leaving them for a good while to return to see Dimension 20 as a smash hit DnD liveplay (one of the greatest things I’ve ever had the luxury to enjoy), I’ve seen great growth and change, and it has been great. Their backlog of gameshows, podcasts, sketches and mockumentaries cover a spectrum of high brow and low brow humour that is insightful to the state of our world today. I hope to keep watching and seeing their continual growth as comedic artists.

I love this app, and I could talk about the many shows in dropouts line up that stand out as excellent content. But I wanted to say that I also love the people behind dropout and the people from college humour. Very talented people who have gone through hard times and yet still show support to everyone in the community but lowering prices and offering sales for things to raise money for charities. Exceptional, even if there was nothing on the site for me to watch anymore I would still subscribe, thanks guys.
