While not having to abide by network rules and regulations, and with the freedom to make segments as short (or as long) as possible, collegehumor.com has taken random skits to a different playing field with damn near anything they want to do. The unique and random story lines that feature relatively low budget camera work and unprofessional acting always deliver a punch in the face of hilarity mostly due to the timing of the videos. It's rare that the segments last too long, and because of that, the in your face mentality of the pieces hold clout. It never gets old, and individuals can just keep on watching.
I foresee a problem however now that the creators are debuting a television series of the program on MTV. With network guidelines and timing slots needing to be filled, the creators are going to have to adapt while still keeping up what people are used to. I predict that the show will never be as humorous or successful as the site, with people always commenting, "Their website is/was way better."
