CollegeHumor

CollegeHumor produces original comedy videos under the CH Originals (formerly known as CHTV) banner. In addition, the site hosts a large collection of user-submitted viral videos, encompassing home movies, bizarre sports highlights, sketches, and such. These videos are released one month prior to being posted on YouTube.

As of December 2020, The CollegeHumor YouTube channel has reached over 7.59 billion views, and over 14 million subscribers.

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 This feature has since fallen out of use and is no longer updated.

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, Alex Figueroa, Justin Johnson,[13] and Judah Friedlander. Andrew Bridgman curated the articles and edits the website's front page.[14]

One-off comedy sketches, cartoons and music videos written and produced by the in-house staff. Written by Patrick Cassels, Emily Axford, Adam Conover, Mike Trapp, and Brian Murphy (among others), these sketches are designed to be more viral in nature than the site's other comedy content.

Dimension 20 is a tabletop role-playing game show starring Brennan Lee Mulligan as the Dungeon Master. The games use Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Dimension 20 also covers supplementary shows that are talk focused discussion shows about elements of role-playing (Adventuring Academy) or specifics about the first season (Dimension 20 Fantasy High Extra Credit).

Dimension 20 usually features its main cast as players (Ally Beardsley, Emily Axford, Lou Wilson, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, and Siobhan Thompson), but for alternating seasons nicknamed “side quests,” the show invites guests to play for that season. As of January 2021, Dimension 20 has had three side quests: Escape from the Bloodkeep (featuring Matthew Mercer of Critical Role), Tiny Heist (featuring the cast of The Adventure Zone), and Pirates of Leviathan.

The first season, Fantasy High, is set in the town of Elmville — an odd, anachronistic town resembling a high fantasy John Hughes movie. The cast of players includes Beardsley, Axford, Wilson, Murphy, Oyama, and Thompson, who collectively became the “main cast” of Dimension 20. Their group of characters, known as “The Bad Kids”, attend the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, a fictional high school designed to teach people how to become adventurers.

The strong fan response for this first season resulted in Fantasy High being renewed for a live season, known as Fantasy High: Sophomore Year. Episodes of Fantasy High: Sophomore Year were streamed live on Twitch, as opposed to pre-recorded, edited, and uploaded to YouTube. The season concluded with a two-part finale titled “Spring Break! I Believe in You!” Part one of the finale was live-streamed on April 1, 2020, and lasted approximately 3 hours. The second part of the finale was live-streamed on April 3, 2020 and lasted approximately 5 hours. Through social media, the Dimension 20 team confirmed that they have plans to continue the story of “The Bad Kids” with a third season in the Fantasy High series.

The second season of Dimension 20, Escape from the Bloodkeep, was the show's first “side quest” season. For this campaign, Dimension 20 brought in a new cast of players (including Matt Mercer of Critical Role) to play a group of villains in a parody of Lord of the Rings. Throughout the course of the season, the characters try to hide the death of their Sauron-esque leader from the rest of his evil armies.

The third season, The Unsleeping City, is a modern-day campaign set in a magical version of New York City. The season featured the main cast as a group of people trying to protect New York residents from knowing about the underlying magic in their city.

The fourth season, Tiny Heist, focused on a set of "tiny people" (i.e., bugs, living toys, etc.) and their attempts to pull off a successful heist. It is Dimension 20's second “side quest” season, and introduced the cast of The Adventure Zone as guest players alongside CollegeHumor's Jessica Ross and Lily Du.

A fifth season, A Crown of Candy, began on April 8, 2020. The campaign follows the royal family of the Candy Land-inspired kingdom of Candia and features Dimension 20's main cast. Pre-recorded episodes, followed by a live after-show with the cast (known as Adventuring Party) were released every Wednesday until the season finale on August 5, 2020.

The sixth season, Pirates of Leviathan, began on September 16. It is the third "side quest" season and introduces a new cast of players (Mercer returning) as pirates in the Fantasy High universe.

A seventh season, The Unsleeping City: Chapter Two, was announced on October 30, 2020. It is a continuation of The Unsleeping City and features the main cast.
