The CollegeHumor Show Looks Silly. (And I Love Silly.)

Here's a brand-new preview of MTV's The CollegeHumor Show, which premieres February 8. It looks so different from the rest of TV, in a mid-'90s-MTV kind of good way. I will be watching this show:

(Full disclosure: when I die, I've asked God to let me come back as College Humor Guy Ricky Van Veen, and God has said yes, so that might constitute a conflict of interest.) While it's hard for hard working Americans not to feel a little jealous of these kids, it's also hard not to feel jealous of Paul Rudd (my logic is infallible!) If The CollegeHumor Show inspires just one youngster to work his way from the mailroom to the Wii-and-bong-conference-room of an internet start up instead of joining a gang, it will all be worth it.

I just wanted to be the first to comment/lame joke about how you guys should get a show

"you totally should get your own show, it'd be so funny, riiight"

I regret that, not because you don't deserve your own show, but because you don't deserve your own television show (then again, neither does ___)

Wow, that's strange. It actually looks funny.

I didnt realize that CollegeHumor was getting its own show. I thought Jake and Amir were. The first 20 Jake and Amir sketches were funny. Then it was kind of boring. Hopefully this show won't follow that trend.

YAY MTV! Next thing you know, NeXt and Hit my Mom will be canceled, and it will be all CollegeHumor and sock puppet shows.
