Founding of CollegeHumor
The CollegeHumor website was created in December 1999 by Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen when they were both freshmen in college. Abramson and Van Veen were high school friends from Baltimore, Maryland; Abramson was at the University of Richmond and Van Veen was at Wake Forest. They began by posting silly photos of themselves as well as jokes, links, and other amusing material they collected from emails circulating among college students. Within three months the site was receiving over 600,0...
Acquisition by IAC and expansion of CH Media
In August 2006, Abramson and company sold 51% of Connected Ventures, CollegeHumor's parent company, whose properties include CollegeHumor, Vimeo and BustedTees, to Barry Diller's IAC for a reported $20 million. After being discovered by CollegeHumor Media in 2006, Sam Reich was hired as Director of Original Content. He was then promoted to President of Original Content along with the premiere of The CollegeHumor Show on MTV in 2009. Kate Knibbs, for Wired, stated that after the acquisition "I...
Acquisition by Sam Reich and rebranding to Dropout
On January 8, 2020, it was announced that IAC was selling CH Media to its Chief Creative Officer, Sam Reich, resulting in the job loss of nearly all employees and staff. Reich said in 2024 that he had paid nothing for CH Media, as IAC's aggressive approach towards quickly selling the company had resulting in it receiving very few offers. The restructured company was reduced to seven people; Brennan Lee Mulligan, Dungeon Master of the series Dimension 20, was the only creative left on the payr...

CollegeHumor produced original comedy videos under the CH Originals (formerly known as CHTV) banner. In addition, the website hosted a large collection of user-submitted viral videos, encompassing home movies, bizarre sports highlights, sketches, and such. These videos were released one month prior to being posted on the CollegeHumor YouTube channel. The CollegeHumor archive of over 1,500 videos is available on the Dropout streaming platform. In December 2022[update], the CollegeHumor YouTube...
Pictures
CollegeHumor's pictures section featured user-submitted photographs. Like the site's videos, CollegeHumor's pictures were of a humorous or bizarre nature.CollegeHumor also occasionally held photo-based contests for its users. This feature has since fallen out of use and is no longer updated. In 2011, Kevin Morris of The Daily Dot reported that CollegeHumor had lifted several images from Reddit without permission of the copyright holdersand had added the CollegeHumor logo to these images.
Articles
CollegeHumor posted original writing from its staff and users, including humorous essays, comics, interviews and weekly columns on sports, video games, college life, and dating. Contributing writers to the site have included notable comedians Steve Hofstetter, Christian Finnegan, Brooks Wheelan, Paul Scheer, Amir Blumenfeld, and Judah Friedlander. Andrew Bridgman curated the articles and edited the website's front page.
CH Originals, established by Sam Reich in 2006, was CollegeHumor's original comedy video section, featuring sketches and short films written and produced by the CollegeHumor staff, which included Patrick Cassels, Emily Axford, Adam Conover, Mike Trapp, and Brian Murphy(among others). CH Originals videos included sketch comedy, film and television p...
In 2018, CollegeHumor created the subscription-based streaming platform Dropout, which became the home for a number of new scripted and unscripted series. After the company was sold to Sam Reich in 2020, budget constraints led to the cancellation of all scripted series in favor of more budget-friendly unscripted series.
