Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-21 00:00:00 Debra Dufek This book is a time capsule of the mid-2000s, both in terms of its social satire and the form it takes. This is "College Humor dot com" in the days before Buzzfeed, FunnyOrDie, even YouTube and Facebook changed internet comedy. Before media got so social, comedy sites were prime content-generation locations, and CollegeHumor was one of the top sources. Unfortunately, the material hasn't aged that well, like a MAD Magazine from a decade or more ago.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-22 00:00:00 Kate Doyle The College Humor Guide to College by the Writers of Collegehumor.com (New American Library 2007) (817+/-). This is a truly sophomoric collection of jokes and cliches that will be side-splittingly funny to college males of the alpha sort. The authors have thoughtfully provided chapters on every important aspect of the college experience (“Food, Health, Laundry,” “Alcohol,” “Parties,” “Greek Life,”, “Drugs,” “Extracurricular Activities,” etc. Here's a suggestion that may revolutionize higher education: Why not save the cost of four years of tuition and simply read this book instead? My rating: 7/10, finished 4/25/15.
