I recently subscribed to College Humour's streaming website, Dropout TV, and have been enjoying it enough to keep subscribed for something like two months over the 3 day free trial period so far.

It's about $9AU/$6US a month for access to a large backlog of generally humourous shows. The two I have been watching the most are the nerdy game show Um Actually, and the scifi roleplaying show Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey, both of which I've really enjoyed, but there's also a bunch of other silly game shows, comedy skits, and roleplaying.

The College Humour Youtube channel has a bunch of trailers, which imo generally aren't very good, and little clips of funny moments, which are what actually got me to try out the free trial. There's also full episodes and in some cases entire runs of a few shows. Dropout.tv has pretty good closed captions, from a brief check the Youtube ones aren't as consistent. It looks like you can subscribe on youtube instead and see all current subscriber-only releases but I'm not sure it has the full backlog.

I bruised my elbow yesterday which makes typing hard so of course my brain now desperately wants nothing more but to write a review post after months of not feeling like it. This will likely be pretty succinct and stream of consciousness.
