Equal parts hilarious and terrifying, “Frat House” is an HBO documentary by a young Todd Phillips that chronicles some utterly insane fraternities during their pledge season. Made in 1998, it was never released due to a lawsuit from those depicted, but is now available in full online.

I was in Toronto and went to see “Life is Beautiful” by myself. When I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I’d ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. I went to several restaurants…and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on.

As my senior project at NYU, I co-wrote and co-directed a 30-minute film with Jonathan Grimm, starring Amir and Streeter. It was shot almost a year ago, but is finally going to make its way online very soon. Here’s the trailer.

The CollegeHumor Show

Over the last few years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing a group of really funny people go from producing a few very popular internet videos to producing a lot of very popular internet videos and a (soon-to-be) very popular television show. Although it is surreal to see things like this and this on billboards and television, the inevitable success of the people behind it isn’t at all surprising. And after watching SNL last night, I think it will be a breath of fresh air.

Empire Yesterday

I wonder what the thought process was like for the person who invented carpeting. They just stepped out of bed one morning and were like, “Fuck this shit.”

An amateur mason was resting near his cottage when it hit him like a ton of bricks: next time, don’t forget to use cement.
