Okay, The Latest College Humor Prank Is Hilarious

The beauty of the College Humor prank war is the fact that College Humor haters who are jealous can enjoy seeing one of them get humiliated every bit as much as those of us who have worked through our CH jealousy in therapy and are just happy to see young people having fun before they get old and realize life is hard. I am PROMISING that if you make it to the climax of this video, you will laugh:

I would much rather see this than those AFV videos of poor people falling for the fake scratch-off lottery tickets. Those are actually mean. Before you feel sorry for Amir though, take a trip back to 2007 when everyone felt sorry for Streeter. (Via Everywhere.)

Awww, this prank is almost sweet. Like you get to think you are rich and did an amazing thing, oh wait no you didn't you are normal. The other ones were more hilariously in their cruelty. But still, can I be reborn as Ricky Van Veen?

Hmm. I wonder what would have happened if he'd made the shot for real.

The Prank War is where I first started to appreciate CH's brand of humor. Their original content has really started to kick ass over the last year or so.

The Yankee Stadium bit might have been better, but this was absolutely brilliant.

this really isn't any different from those lame fake lottery tickets, except for the fact that those videos are 75% likely to be staged and this is 100%.

I am sad to learn that Streeter no longer has a girlfriend. Is it because of Amir's last prank? I mean, he had a girlfriend serious enough to think he had proposed to her for real, and now he's single again....that's just sad. But, hey, I still like these pranks.

Eh, I didn't laugh that hard - but Streeter has insanely white and straight teeth and I want to cuddle with him.

Blah, I don't see how either of Amir or Streeter dont immediately think that when something strange or amazing happens that it isn't always a prank. I mean that is what they do for work. Wouldn't you be immediately suspicious of things like this???

Well, they do know that when something amazing or strange happens that it's a prank seeing how these are all set up. Really, everyone? Come on. I'm disappointed in vgum for posting this. Doesn't everyone in the New York comedy community know that these are fake. I mean, it's not even really kept a secret.
