Dropout's 5th Anniversary (and What's Coming Next) 

If you came to this channel 20 years ago or in the past week, thanks for watching. The old videos are still there, but the path forward looks a little different (sorry Prank War fans). PS sign up for Dropout and get a bunch of good as heck shows and support an independent comedy streaming service. Still need convincing? Go watch 100 Game Changer Shorts, I bet you'll be down to try the free trial at least.

It's actually refreshing to see someone in leadership actually acknowledge the random dumb luck aspect of being successful.

Shows listed in that Montage that haven’t been announced yet: - Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up - Dimension 20: Dungeons and Drag Queens (Season 2) - Thousandairs - Dropout Presents - Nobody Asked - Very Important People - Smartypants

I love the joke of most of the cast being on contracts now but Brennan being a full employee so he’s not allowed to leave 😂

I remember once I cancelled my subscription because it no longer fit my budget and I got an email saying my next month was free. I literally started crying, I was so grateful. It was the opposite of a free trial, I already knew the service was awesome and y'all already knew I couldn't pay. That's the kind of move a company makes because it's made up of caring people. I love that aspect of being an (intermittent) Dropout subscriber. (A frequent Dropout dropout, one might say.)

The biggest magic trick Sam's pulled off is changing the channel name as the video was happening so that it was updated by the time it was over

RIP CollegeHumor. You were a big part of my teens. Now, Dropout is a big part of my adult life... which is fitting since I also never finished college.

As a consistent fan of Dropout from when it was Collegehumor I know for a 100% fact that Grant was drinking a fully alcoholic cocktail in this video.

Brennan almost breaking when he said "I have so many chips left" is just one example of why dropout is good. Just a top tier cast, and Sam obviously cares immensely about his company and his employees

Aabria's perfectly delivered "I hate change!" line is like I'm being personally called out. 😂

How the company handled the strike, enthusiastically going on strike before they even realized they technically didnt have to, only made me respect them and want to support them more

Lily Du’s outfits absolutely deserve at least 50% of the credit

I don't want to say Brenan saved the company, but he helped bring the great content into a new viral age that I hope everyone appreciates the way we appreciate him

Brennan coming in at the end like "your dad is still gonna use the old name, you know that right?" is a minor gut punch to anyone who has ever done even a little bit of artistry.

Grant just sitting to the side messing with his drink, "I thought you'd be bankrupt in a week." This channel is such gold ❤

Dropout has quickly become my girlfriend and mine's go-to entertainment. We cuddle and watch GameChanger, we snuggle and watch Dimension 20: Mentopolis, we get drunk and watch Dirty Laundry. Its basically taken the place Television game shows used to have for our parents' generation, and i love that. More over, Sam seems to truly bring out the best in his already incredibly talented cast and gives these people a place where they can shine with their unique talents and seemingly endless creativity. And you can just feel that. I hope that part of Dropout never changes.

As someone who has been watching for almost 15 years, hearing Ricky say the line "if you're gonna use two, just use one", brought back such a huge wave of nostalgia. I am so glad you guys are keeping up and going strong!

“Art is made for people by people”. And that is why you will continue to receive both my time and money. Thanks guys for all you do and the passion with which you do it.

Managed to fit in future projects, company namechanger, position on worker's rights and AI, acknowledgement of Lily's outfits, and gratitude towards the fans and the staff, all in a single elegantly brief and fun announcement! Here's to more Dropout 🥂

My favorite part of dropout is that they don't edit out the crew laughs. It's fun to see everyone having a good time.

Sorry, no points awarded! You did not say "Umm Actually!" at the beginning of the video! But our family will always support Drop Out! We love you all!

i did find it weird it was still called College Humor, love the rebrand. Also love the acknowledgement that Lily's outfits are the highlight of the platform. Congrats on 5 years!

It's a rare thing to feel so much nostalgia for something and then that thing gets even better as you get older.

It must be weird having a boss like Sam who seems to have so much joy in his work at a media company.

the amount of happiness I felt when I saw Ricky and Josh is indescribable

If you compare this to the lifeless promos that Netflix and other media companies do, the difference is that Sam is sincere and I actually believe him when he says his company doesn't suck. I'm very happy for Dropout. Wish you all the success in the future. Here's to having more companies like this.

Ricky's "if you're going to use two, just use one" bit at the end is a great goodbye to all the long time CollegeHumor fans like myself who still love to go back and watch the old videos. Happy to see the company grow back up and here's to 5 more years!

Dropout is so good because you can feel the passion of the cast and crew. They’re doing things they like to do, in a world where that’s rare. I’ve never regretted a single penny I’ve spent on dropout.

One of the things ive rlly liked about Dropout so far has been the times when they pause and bring attention to the crew behind-ish the scenes. The d20 sets, just about every prop of Game Changer, and the laughs behind the cameras not just left in but *subtitled* (thank y'all, i have bad ears)- these things don't just happen off the power of the big faces. It's a bigger team effort than that and I appreciate it every time. Y'all have been me and my fiance's favorite since the plauge first struck and I don't see that changing soon. Y'all have a good one! :D

The "If you're gonna use two just use one" throwback was sublime

Dropout is truly the only entertainment service I am willing to pay for because you can tell everyone really enjoys making their shows

1:57- from as many times as they've been on camera together, I've never realized the height difference between these two Also Aabria's "I hate change" was masterfully delivered!

this video has been out for 7 month, ive had dropout for FAR longer than 7 months, and am JUST NOW realizing the wordplay from collegehumor to dropout and feel like a fool

CollegeHumorNowDropout has been a hugely important part of the internet culture for so long. Congrats to Sam and everyone else for making it through these last 5 years!

I was a little sad when college humor spiraled. Seeing dropout emerge and be this strong is fantastic. Great job to the whole team.

The best subscription I ever paid for. I got it originally for the D&D content but fell in love with the ever-evolving casts of personalities and talents as the hit shows kept coming. Thank all of you for your amazing work. Cheer to 5! and Cheers to when y'all hit 10!!

SHOW IDEA... can you do an interview with each of your non-on camera talent staff? their backround, examples of their input, their story. That would be super cool.

exceptionally fun to refresh the page and see the name change live!!

My main thought during this video was: “Oh, it’s a CEO sketch, but good news!” Massive thanks to everyone from Dropout. Discovered y’all ~2 years ago and you’ve been my highlights ever since. Can’t wait for more!

4:43 Brennan proudly finishing the bag of chips like "give me an assignment and I won't miss"

I have been a recent Dropout convert, mainly because of all the clips on Shorts and the fan edits which appeared in my recommended. This announcement pushed me over the edge and I finally got my subscription. It’s good to know that I get to watch funny things made by genuinely nice people getting to make fun stuff with their friends. Here’s to another 5 years!

RIP CollegeHumor, LONG LIVE DROPOUT

I found Dropout when I came across a fan made highlight reel and I was hooked. The sheer terror in Brennen's eyes: "Hello.... I'm... 50?" I've never openly wept from laughing that hard before.

My life hasn’t been great lately. A lot of bad luck and financial woes. Despite all of this, I’ve never once considered cancelling my Dropout subscription because I believe in supporting artists and God knows that shows like D20, Um, Actually, Game Changer and all of the other great shows on Dropout have helped me get through such turbulent times. Long live Dropout 💛

4:29 wow... that was a deep cut. Thanks for getting Ricky and Josh back that was great. Also, I remember the videos where that was Trap's laptop.

3:31 - 3:33 - *Dimension 20: Dungeons & Drag Queens Season 2* - Breaking News - Make Some Noise - *Dimension 20: Never Stop Blowing Up* - Play It By Ear - *Thousandaires* - *Dimension 20: Fantasy High Junior Year* - Um, Actually - Adventuring Academy - *Dropout Presents* - Adventuring Party - Dirty Laundry - *Nobody Asked* - *Very Important People* - *Smartypants* - Game Changer

Dropout deserves all of the praise it receives, and more. Ethical, inclusive, irreverent, topical, and timeless comedy. Plus cameos from all over the internet. Kudos to all of the cast and crew. For the rest of my life I will hear the honest question, "Where are you from," out in the wild, and I will laugh inappropriately and pray someone responds "Cambridge, Massachusetts." It gets funnier in callback every year.

Not only do they have good content, they as a company and their employees have consistently made ethical choices and been very vocal with their activism. I will probably drop all my other streaming services before I drop Dropout.

Did not expect Ricky doing the "just use one" bit to make me full cry. Congrats Dtopout. I've been hooked since Josh's Mindhouse, and you've been making me smile since. Like for real added up together, add it together and that's like a month worth of my life just fucking happy and that's on you.

Now I can watch the channel without the soul crushing reminder I never finished college! Thank you Dropout!

Brennan trying to be indignant and almost laughing 😂 love it

I’ve only recently started watching Dropout shows. There has been many a time you guys made my day! I hope there’s more years of fun to come 🩷🫶💛 You guys are amazing

Dropout actually HELPED me make it through University, funny enough. You guys helped me keep my sanity by giving me amazingly funny and chaotic things to watch. I’m so appreciative of this community, and proud to say I’m a fan!💛💛💛💛💛

I think this is one of the few re-brandings that actually make sense, especially since college humor's comedy has matured a lot especially in the last few years and is no longer the once crass college humor it actually was. I do hope that sketches will come back though.

Can you believe this means Pat will be revived?

I don't think I've ever respected an organisation and the people that work for it more, you guys are doing oh such a good job, can't wait for what's next

Seeing Ricky and having him deliver the "just use one" line was such a nice, nostalgic callback. What I wouldn't give for a Beef Gurewich cameo lol so happy for Dropout's success and to see everyone thriving-- excited for more!

loving the vibes of literally any other company making a big bullshit announcement on a five year anniversary, while actually announcing almost nothing except for the death of trapp's computer interspersed with jokes about how brennan isn't allowed to leave. very Comedy. 5/5

I just stumbled across Dropout from Very Important People show short on YT and I’m like what the heck is this high quality comedy content?? I must watch! Never knowing it was College Humor. And now I’m obsessed with the shows on there. It’s like finding out Whose Line Is It and Comedy Bang Bang had a baby and it’s full of people around my age, more diverse, and more authentic. It’s the comedy network for the new generation!!! Thank you Dropout team for the laughs and giggle fits ❤

So happy for you guys!!! Especially amidst all this 'we can't possibly pay writers' gaslighting from the big streaming companies, it's so nice to see you guys flourishing while taking care of your staff and taking chances on really cool projects. So glad y'all are doing so well, here's to another fabulous 5!

The shot of Sam walking through The Dome lit up with pics of the staff and crew... I got some feel-good chills. I love Sam's enthusiastic support for the people he works with

Dropout is the only subscription I’m ever truly happy to see come out of my bank account. I’m so glad to be able to support the great work of good people.

From seeing _Escape From The Bloodkeep_ for free here on RU-vid to signing up and sticking with Dropout all these years and making your shows an important part of my weekly dark demonic rituals, thank you from the bottom of my ever-strengthening soul forge.

I always believed in you guys. Great content moves the needle every time. Wish I could work here!!

What I've learned here is not only that Dropout has worked so hard to get where they are today, but also that Brennan can't leave the building until he finishes a whole bag of potato chips, Trapp doesn't need a computer, and Ify and Lily's time MUST be respected. So proud of the progress this channel has made over the years! Here's to five more years!

I may be a broke ass student but Dropout/Dimension 20 saved me and is continuing to save me from the isolation I felt during the pandemic. So yeah worth it. Will continue to support you guys as long as I can~

My husband and i love dropout and we always budget around keeping it. Even when we're broke, to we always try to keep it.

"everyone can go home EXCEPT Brennan, he lives here now" love that. love you guys. the one subscription I never think about canceling even when money is tight. You're a bright spot in the darkness, I'm rooting for your continued success.

That actually makes things a lot easier. Occasionally we'll have to say Dropout (formerly CollegeHumor), but that's an inevitable minor inconvenience whenever anything changes its name. 95% of my favourite content from you all has been during the Dropout era. Arguably I'm a much bigger fan of Dropout than I ever was of CollegeHumor. (Edit was to correct a typo. I originally wrote "bent" instead of "name".)

the story of dropout is a pretty incredible one. love seeing creative companies where passion is clearly at the forefront of everything.

Every cast member and team members behind production, filming, lighting, mics, sfx, ect has really made something special. Ive always loved your guys videos. They truly offer something special.

Anyone came here after watching Watcher and their subscription plan. What distinguishes them from Dropout?

It feel oddly right to bid CollegeHumor farewell. It was, and continues to be, an incredible journey. Thank you CollegeHumor, and goodbye old friend.

There's basically no entertainment source I'm happier to support than Dropout, just because I like all the people involved so much. Them, and the crazy tyrant who makes them dance. Thank you for your work, Sam!

Love your content. Subscriber for years, love it. The only thing I miss is the sketches. As expensive and silly as they are to make...I still watch them to this day. If you ever get to a point where you can make sketches again, I will get two subscriptions. That's a promise.

Love the enthusiasm and the honesty. You could always turn the company into a co-op, especially if you fear that the company might not survive the next recession or big economic catastrophe. Co-ops are known for being much more resilient both in economic downturns and in general. And you would put the worker's rights (and sustaining the company and therefore the quality content) at the first priority because they then have a guaranteed a say in how the company is being run.

Wow I've definitely never felt such warm feelings for a brand announcement before.

I remember watching CollegeHumour in my mid teens. I had no idea it would grow into this. This is possibly the business I am most proud to support. You guys are transparent, creative, entertaining, and it's clear everybody involved is in love with what you're doing. I love how it's never felt like it's about the money, I love how everybody is totally open with their identities and supportive of one another (and it's not treated like a big thing), and I just can't get over how this feels like one of the most successful creative labours of love I've ever had the joy of supporting. You're all wonderful people, and I hope to still be supporting you guys in another 5 years' time.

i haven't really sat down to watch any dropout content in a few months because i'm busy, but my annual subscription is about to renew and i have no intention of cancelling. i love the work you all are doing, and i'm so glad i get to help support it. if you consider introducing a lifetime subscription (like Nebula has been offering lately) i would do my best to scrape together the money and get one. here's to the next 20 years!

The throwback with Ricky made me scream!!! Been watching this channel since 2008 - you've done an incredible job transforming into Dropout, can't wait for what's to come!

Dropout shows like Dirty Laundry, Game Changer and Make Some Noise have been a staple of my comfort shows. So glad that you guys are still around and making good content.

I was not okay with this until I heard Ricky say "just use one." Now all is right with the world. Thanks Dropout, keep going, we'll keep supporting you.

i love you guys and your company. I've been watching college humor for over 14 years, and im so glad it's still going, even though it's changed a lot. there's no one else that's putting out such quality comedy content these days, and I hope dropout can continue to thrive and survive whatever worldwide catastrophes come our way. im actually very glad they defunded collegehumor, since now it gets to be free and run by the people who really care about it.

Watching this company change over the last eleven or so years is insane. Can't believe the journeys this group has gone through since I first saw Dinosaur Office on my 3ds and looked up the group

Dude the fact that Dropout exists without ad-revenue (minus their RU-vid) is AWESOME.

It's crazy that this was the last college humor video.

3:52 missed out on the perfect opportunity for Trapp to say "um, actually... that's my computer"

Brazilian here, one more of those that follows for so many years, and will keep watching (and now supporting it). It was a shame when I saw that Facebook issue, with you guys going... broke?, specially with your best cast in years! You guys are awesome and, even with the exchange rate, I'm signning it right know! So, more 20 years to come

I have a bit of sadness at seeing Collegehumor gone. The name, the logo, even the "HUHH" sound, were all a part of my life growing up, but that feeling is overwhelmed by a feeling of pride and joy in Sam and the team of Dropout. Ive been subscribed to dropout since day 1 and watching you all grow is truly revolutionary. Keep on moving forward and do your thing. Youre all true Game Changers!

Ive grown so attached to these people. Knowing that they can continue to create what they enjoy makes me emotional.

2:24 Heyyyy I found yall on YT Game Changer is why I finally subbed to Dropout and hence here to witness your amazing Celebration Vid almost the best Welcome to a Channel and Service I have ever gotten Much Love ❤🙌

So happy for everyone and so proud! I was a college humor fan many years ago and fell away as my tastes changed, we found dropout shortly after its inception and were blown away by wit and passion evident in the work. Even through our own tough times we kept our dropout subscription, rewatching fantasy high and um actually, sure that when things got better we would see it first in your content. To say the wait paid off would be a major understatement. All of you brought me through the loss of my father with tears and laughter. You gave me strength when I had none. I value all of the dropout staff, on screen and off, for all their hard work and dedication. And especially Sam, for showing employers everywhere that a business can be run fairly.

I can tell Brennan was fighting for his LIFE not to break during the bit with Lily

We fell in love with Adam Ruins Everything waaay back when and later Game Changer and Um, Actually. Recently began digging into Dimension 20 and we can't wait to watch more. Ya'll are truly our favorite creators in the industry not only for your incredible humor, but your integrity as well.

My sister used to write for college humor. She always used to ask me for ideas when she would hit a brick wall sometimes. I being a huge nerd stepped up and helped out. Did see her on a video that she created and it was absolutely hilarious. I’ve been a dropout member for two years now. And it honestly makes my day when I see new content drop.

Small story that leads somewhere I swear. I suffered a myriad of dark, depressive, and sometimes self-destructive thoughts throughout my college days (over 10 years ago now). Back then, I loved watching RoosterTeeth and, though weird to admit, had a parasocial relationship with the founders and the AH crew. It provided me with the sense of family and friendship I didn't have at the time. Life changed, but as RT, and by extension AH, corporatized they felt farther and farther. Couple that with the scandals and it was like watching a part of my past die. Flash forward to now, and seeing this video. You guys are so amazing and ignite many of the same feelings of easy joy and comradery that RT and AH struck in me all those years ago. Watching Dropout has been such a wonderful little escape to an easy place with kind people I can laugh with (and at, let's be honest). You all do such a good job of sticking to your morals while still being genuinely hilarious all while revealing parts of yourself that most find hard to. In doing so, you come across as relatable while also being role models in various ways. Kindness, intelligence, wit, and a manic energy I find in myself (but cranked up to 11) are everywhere and I love it. Anyway, all that to say congrats to Dropout and to everyone working there. I'm excited to see what's to come!

Proud to be a fan of DROPOUT. Thank you for College Humor, and I’m so happy I get to witness this big leap! Happy 5 years DROPOUT 💛

Congratulations guys! You passed the statistical threshold! A sizeable chunk of businesses end within their first 5 years, and thus making it to this point is a huge milestone. Here's to more content in the years to come!

The only subscription fee I smile at when I’m checking my credit card statements. You bunch are the best.

This Sam guy is pretty good and it's awesome to see his enthusiasm and hard work pay off. I wonder where he's from.
