Dropout (Comedy Streaming Service - Formerly CollegeHumor) TV Show • Page 8

subjected my partner to Sam Says 1 and Bingo last night. think he's hooked now, although i don't see us rewatching every episode.

 

update on this: apparently someone on Reddit spotted him as an extra on The Rookie? same hat and everything

 

Yeah I swear he was in something else I have seen....

probably wasnt just a rando on the street, but that's ok

 

Dropout did a crossover with The Rookie too, so the fact that they've all been in each other's orbit - intentionally or unintentionally - is kind of funny

damn, gotta rewatch Baskets just to find him, haha

 

I bet Steve doesn’t believe in Santa Claus either

 

The bearded actor?

 

how can you deny his existence, Steve? he was right there on Game Changer!

 

That's just Phil in red

 

just finished my fourth viewing of this most recent episode. i can't help myself.

 

Rulette 2 tonight!

 

Josh Anna and Demi hell yeah

 

gonna watch when i get back home!

 

I’m cry laughing by the end

 

good fucking sign

 

Really good episode

 

this one took a tiny bit to get going for me, but Jesus, when it got there, they went all the way. very well done episode. MVP performance from Josh. and Anna's "Paul Robalino" killed me

 

Yeah Josh basically falling apart at the end is what had me rolling

 

the game design in this one was also phenomenal, and everyone played along so well

 

Felt like the episode dragged a bit (OG ruelette had the same problem) but man that highs were high

Anna's "Paul Robalino" I'm not even sure if she was trying to "play mean" or the stress got to her and she just snapped but either way perfectly delivered

All time MVP performance from Josh

And Demi just counting to a hundred was so perfect

 

The more I reflect on it, I think my biggest issue with the Rulette episodes is that they require a level of suspension of disbelief that I think in a way negatively impacts the rest of the series

I know stuff is edited. Prompts get cut. They might do some reshoots. but most of the time you can tell yourself it's minor and ignore it (and I think most of the time it is)

The narrative of the Rulette episodes being this crashendoing ball of chaos works incredibly well. Like you get to the end, everyone sticking their stuff on Sam, it narratively feels like an end and sure enough they end

But leave it to actual random chance and you're not actually going to generally get that satisfying arc. You could land on end super early. Or get a bunch of prompts in a row. To make the magic work, you need to put your thumb on the scales and embrace respins (notice how they almost never show a spin in full)

On the one hand, it's fine. Both episodes are still incredibly funny

On the other, if they are willing to stack the deck for Rulette, whose to say they aren't stacking the deck like for other episodes too? I can't ignore the fact that Rulette is heavily edited, and that makes it harder to ignore the fact that other episodes are too. Which idk ruins the magic of the show a bit for me.

 

I’ll be honest never even thought of any of that lol. Just like to turn my brain off a bit and laugh. But now that you brought it up I might have that in the back of my mind.
