Dropout, incorporated as CH Media and formerly known as CollegeHumor,[1] is an Internet comedy company based in Los Angeles that produces content for release on its streaming service Dropout as well as YouTube. Dropout content is mainly composed of live play, such as Dimension 20, and improv comedy and panel shows like Game Changer and Make Some Noise. Dropout's series often feature a rotating cast of regular comedians and performers. The streaming platform hosts original programming and does not run advertisements.

In its earlier years operating as an advertising-based business under the name CollegeHumor, the company focused on sketch comedy and scripted content which was posted to their website (CollegeHumor.com) and later YouTube. The CollegeHumor website featured daily original humor videos and articles created by its in-house writing and production team, in addition to user-submitted content. Some popular series produced under the CollegeHumor brand include Jake and Amir, Hardly Working, Adam Ruins Everything, Hot Date, and Very Mary-Kate.

Founded by Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen in 1999,[2] CollegeHumor was owned by InterActiveCorp (IAC) from 2006 until 2020, when IAC withdrew funding and the website shut down.[3] While owned by IAC, the company consisted of three main brands: CollegeHumor.com, Drawfee.com, and Dorkly.com.[4] The current CEO is Sam Reich, a performer and former Chief Creative Officer of CollegeHumor, who acquired the company in 2020 from IAC.[5][4][6] IAC launched CH Media's streaming service Dropout in 2018.[7] The streaming service includes original series along with the CollegeHumor back catalog of over 1,500 videos.[8] CollegeHumor was rebranded as Dropout in 2023.[1]
