This is a small selection of some of my favorite sketches I wrote in my time at CollegeHumor. If you want to see more you can find them in the sketch archive.
Philosophical Truth or Dare
We all know “Truth or Dare,” but no one every asks for a real TRUTH about the world.
Oh No! Why Is This Trending?
A game show where we play the game everyone plays the moment they log on to Twitter. Guessing why a random phrase is trending.
Christmas Elves vs. Fantasy Elves
It’s weird that both Christmas elves and Tolkein-style elves are called “elves,” considering how wildly different they are.
Back to the Future in Actual 2015
When we actually hit the date Marty travels to in Back to Future II, it seemed only natural to compare the dreams of 2015 with reality.

I Wore Makeup for a Week
There was a period on the Internet when the most popular videos were half-assed social experiments in which self-satisfied vloggers reached obvious conclusions. And I guess what I’m saying is that sucks.
Workshopping Your Insane Writing
Part of our parody of The Shining, imagining if Jack Torrance actually got notes back on his insane manuscript.
How Tall Is Grant?
Cast member Grant O’Brien is so tall it requires the crew to rework shots around him, or for him to crouch down unnaturally. That inspired this sketch revolving entirely around camera trickery.
Purge Technicalities
The Purge seems like it has a simple enough premise, but if you think about it for more than a few minutes there are a lot of questions that need answering.
Co-written with Siobhan Thompson
Too Good at CPR
A horror-comedy about the reviving a CPR dummy.
Tumblr CEO
When Tumblr announced they were removing pornography from their platform it seemed like a crazy business decision. So much so that you have to imagine they didn’t totally understand the platform.

Asshole Wizard Won’t Reveal Secrets
There’s an annoying trope in fantasy where an all-knowing wizard knows the answer to every mystery, but still won’t reveal his secrets. Why? Because that would be very inconvenient for the writer.
Maybe This Stupid Thing Will Fix Me
Maybe the key to happiness can be found in one little improvement.
Procrastinating Ghost Has SO Much Unfinished Business
They say ghosts remain on earth because they have unfinished business. But maybe it’s unfinished because ghosts procrastinate as much as anyone else.
Every Day is a Holiday on Twitter
There was a period of time when every day saw a strange new holiday you had never heard of being promoted on Twitter.
Daddy’s Day
A “daddy” and a “father” are two very different things, which makes Father’s Day a potentially confusing time.
Who Got Me Sick?
Every time I get sick I feel like someone deserves blame for it. Which means you sometimes have to suss out who the perpetrator is.
