Cast
Protagonists
In the series, the current authors of the CollegeHumor website (like The CollegeHumor Show ) play the role of grotesque versions of themselves. Attention is concentrated around all nine main characters. Basically, the heroes are selfish and act in accordance with their immediate desires, not making rational decisions and not listening to their feelings.
- Ricky ( Ricky Van Win ) is the editor-in-chief, a wealthy, obsessed young man who craves the attention of celebrities from the D-list.
- Sam ( Samuel “Sam” Reich ) is the director of the scriptwriting department, although essentially as immature as his subordinates. A close friend of Dan.
- Dan ( Daniel "Dan" Gurevitch ) is an enthusiastic screenwriter. Often turns out to be naive in approaching women and the world around him.
- Amir ( Amir Blumenfeld ) is an outcast of the collective, socially unsuitable and prone to bouts of irrational anger. Desires nothing so much as becoming Jake's best friend. The plot of the Internet series Jake and Amir is built on their complex relationships.
- Jake ( Jacob "Jake" Hurwitz ) is the main office lady. Feels for Sarah.
- Sarah ( Sarah Schneider ) is the most mundane member of the team. Due to the partially "boyish" character, male colleagues perceive her as their sister. It often turns out to be the only voice of reason in a chaotic situation.
- Streeter ( Streeter Sidell ) is the editor of the main page of the site, the most gloomy of the screenwriters. Inclined to put pressure on pity to achieve their goals.
- Jeff ( Jeffrey "Jeff" Rubin ) - a video editor and video game fan, used to "go with the flow" in everything.
- Pat ( Patrick "Pat" Cassels ) is the most eccentric and pushed than other characters.
Minor Characters
