  • I Will Make Fun Of Your Campus: West Virginia University Edition

    Your campus cash is called Mountie Bountie. That's adorable. But products that rhyme have a limited shelf life. Like soap on a rope. Or Harry Caray.

    You're located in Morgantown, a rural mountainside with a campus stuffed into it. Morgantown was not built to hold tens of thousands of students - it was built to hold three farms, a bait shack and a gas station run by a guy named Earl (Pronounced "Arl"). So what's your answer to the parking problems caused by over population? Building one-story garages, and a public transportation system with one car on each train. Good move. Now excuse me while I go soak up the Atlantic Ocean with a roll of paper towels.

    If there's one thing you do well, it's party. Maybe you were drunk when you built those garages and named your campus cash. I've actually seen girls stumbling out of bars and taking rides home from guys they've never met because they'd rather dry hump a stranger than walk up that mountain. This, by the way, was a Tuesday.

    You don't just party at night, either. Not a football game goes by without someone burning a couch. Win, loss, tie, bye week, if it's football season, you guys are burning sectionals. Someone should open a furniture store and sell used couches for half price every weekend. They could retire by the end of the season.

    "Get a Game Day Special! A bag of briquettes with every love seat!"

    Maybe you can use some Mountie Bountie to pick one up.

    Thanks for having me. Go Mountaineers!


  • My Thanksgiving Toast

    We braved airport lines, we braved delayed planes
    We came home in cars, and we came home in trains
    We came home from college, we took days off work
    We spent hours in traffic, which drove us beserk
    They stopped all the mail, and they closed all the banks
    So we could be home and we could give thanks
    To our friends and our family, on this holiday
    Who remind us...why we all moved so far away

    Happy Thanksgiving. Be strong, it's only a few more days til Monday.


  • I Will Make Fun Of Your Campus: Franklin Pierce College Edition

    You're named after Franklin Pierce, the alcoholic former president who re-opened the question of slavery in the west. What a person to celebrate. Hey, without Franklin Pierce, there might not have been a civil war. It's only fitting to name your school after him, since your campus still looks like America did during his presidency.

    Wow, you guys are in the middle of nowhere. You shouldn't need hiking boots and road flairs to get to class. I've performed at a lot of colleges, but this was the first time I've done standup at a summer camp. I would not be the least bit surprised if I found out the Blair Witch was actually filmed at your student center.

    I was, however, treated very nicely by everyone there who seemed to enjoy going to school on the set of Cabin Fever, and some people even baked me cupcakes. Which is good, because the nearest restaurant is 73 miles away. Overall, I enjoyed myself - and the next time I want to get killed by a maniac in the woods, I'm totally there.

    A noted historian wrote that Franklin Pierce was "a good man who didn't understand his own shortcomings." Maybe it's an apt name after all.

    Thanks for having me. Go Ravens!


  • I Will Make Fun Of Your Campus: Dartmouth College Edition

    First off, your teams are the Big Green. That's retarded. Big Green what? There are so many green things. Like the grass I'd have to smoke to stomach living in Hanover. Or the envy I'd have at other schools that actually have team names.

    But your mascot is a keg. Not just any keg, but Keggie, the keg with legs. That's gangsta. My school didn't even allow kegs, and your school uses one as promotion. That's the first impression other schools have of you. The keg is your diplomat. "Hi, we're the delegation from Dartmouth, and we make Tara Reid look like she's in MADD." In fairness, if I went to school somewhere with that little to do, I'd stay wasted, too. You guys are such drunks that if there really was a human keg, you'd probably tap him and drain his alcoholic blood into a Solo cup.

    And then there's Blitz. You know what the rest of the world calls that? Email. But no, your email is faster! BLITZ! It's instant, like, well, any other email system. Your campus points are also called "dash" - maybe you feel you need to get things done quickly. I bet it's because you're praying for the end of your drunken, thirty-below, mass mailing four years to come as soon as possible.

    Thanks for having me. Go Big Green!

    About Me

    Steve is the most booked comedian on the college market, and would be playing your school shortly if you got off your fat ass and requested him.

    CollegeHumor.com's original columnist, Hofstetter is currently enjoying his status as the sketchy old guy. The host of the syndicated Sports Minute (Or So), Hofstetter is a regular on radio stations everywhere, and not just when he calls to request Enya.

    His new album, "Cure for the Cable Guy" is available in stores and on itunes, and is extremely popular with everyone except Larry the Cable Guy. Jay Leno compared him to a young Jerry Seinfeld, which is awesome because Jerry Seinfeld is very funny. His half million MySpace and Facebook friends agree.

    He also thinks you're hot.
