Know what the kids at CollegeHumor.com haven't done since, uh, college? Pulled an all-nighter. Last night, that changed. From 9pm to 9am, the staffers engaged in a decent publicity stunt, considering their audience, creating/editing/posting ten original videos in that time span. And then they broadcast it live via webcam, BECAUSE THIS IS 1998.
"At the time, CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen was fielding rapid-fire questions and comments (and even some demands) being made by members of the live chat, ranging from “What college did you go to?†to “Will you hire me?!?†to much less PG-rated discussion. Though nothing appeared planned or scripted, the show was consistently entertaining; from trivia tests to impromptu wrestling to casual banter, the night’s events felt like a real-time interactive comedy show, captivating us for a good hour and a half. Though we weren’t partaking, members of the live chat seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the immediate interaction with the website’s stars and writers and the webcam’s uniquely candid view into CollegeHumor and its content creators. At one point in the night, over 2,000 watchers were participating in the live chat, some talking to one another, while others were “LOLing†over (or dissing) the action being captured through the webcam. In the morning, we saw that 10 movies had indeed been produced, some of which were actually quite ingenious despite (or maybe due to?) the staff’s sleep deprivation." [PSFK]
So what'd the funny kids come up with?
We like to call this one: Get some sleep.
