    I cannot recommend Dropout enough. I just finished the most recent season of Dimension 20 which was like what if Inside Out was in a noir setting and also way hornier. Someone else described it as Pixar does Dark City. And still there were a few teary moments.

    They seem to be genuinely decent people, and I've never laughed so hard as I have at the most recent Make Some Noise (like Whose Line, Wayne Brady even guested!) And I'm so glad they made it this far!

      I don't watch any of the Dimension 20 stuff, but I also highly recommend Dropout--Um, Actually; Game Changers; Make Some Noise; Breaking News; and Play It by Ear on their own are more than worth the monthly cost even if you don't particularly care for the D&D related content.

        Basically how I started until the current d20, Mentopolis. I watched it solely for Game Changer, Make Some Noise, and Breaking News.

      Highly recommend Crown of Candy and Ravening War. We watched it backwards as I figured it would be okay because it was a prequel, though I recommend now watching it as released still very awesome.

        There is something for everyone in the Dimension 20 catalogue. I also think A Court of Fae and Flower is peak comedy with the tension of Regency romance somehow still thrown in. Crown of Candy and...

        Crown of Candy and Ravening War are great

          Definitely. We are kind of just started on the catalog of all of d20 after watching the latest, Mentopolis series (have since watch CoC and RW), and it's fun to discover the source of some of their inside jokes they've used in later seasons. I'm not much of a D&D player anymore, though still a heavy TTRPGer, so I wanted something outside of it to start but then in watching the trailers for the other shows, I realized it was the sort of games of D&D that I cherished and remembered the most which were the non-dungeon crawl ones.

          The Fae one looks to be one of my possible favorites too based on the trailer and is one I'm excited to watch too.

            I absolutely love Aabria's DMing style for dimension 20. There are definitely clips online but she leans into Emily's shenanigans and lets the players up both the absurdity and the tension at the same time. Highly recommend that season.

            Misfits and Magic is also a nice send up of the franchise that will not be named.

            I'm definitely looking forward to some of their new shows that were just announced too. They always seem to be bangers even when I'm not as huge of a fan of the show, like Play it By Ear, if I do turn it on, I still enjoy it.

    There was an episode of the Dropout game show game that featured a trio of shakespeare actors doing improv. That episode was astonishing.

      My partner and I literally visited Chicago this year because they are all part of a troupe for Improv Shakespeare (literally the name). We have plans on going back just to do a show every night at iO theater. Got to briefly say "y'all are awesome" to one of the guys on Dropout too!

      They also did an improv musical on the topic of Renaissance faires. Honestly the improv musicals are so impressive.

    Been meeting to grab a subscription for this soon. Just been holding out until I have the free time to use said subscription.

    I've been following college humour for a very long time. When they started dropout, I was skeptical too. I internally refused to sign up because they kept pushing it.

    But then I found Dimension 20 and eventually signed up because I wanted more damn it.

    But I've since then watched most of the content on dropout. Mentopolis has been great and I've managed to get a friend to finally watch it.

    Slowly they'll grow. I hope they manage to keep going.

    There was a chat between Sam and the guy who started Nebula on YouTube. It was quite an interesting and relatable insight.
