CollegeHumor.com Graduates to Mobile

June 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Airborne Mobile Inc., a leading full-service mobile media company, today announced the mobile launch of CollegeHumor.com, a partnership that brings classic co-ed comedy to humor-hungry mobile users. CollegeHumor.com, an operating business of IAC [NASDAQ- IACI], has emerged as an icon and indicator of today’s young adult culture, with an endless supply of parody and addictive silliness that satiates freshmen and alumni alike. Adapted specifically for the mobile phone, the CollegeHumor mobile video channel will provide heaps of handheld humor.

From the number one comedy site on the internet, CollegeHumor mobile video offers hilarious original programming and features that will keep fans glued to their phones. The mobile video channel includes CollegeHumor.com favorites “Hardly Working” and CHTV originals amongst the core programming, translated into engaging mobile episodes. “Hardly Working” is the flagship online category that reveals the hanky-panky that takes place at CollegeHumor headquarters, recently spun off into MTV’s weekly 30-minute “The CollegeHumor Show,” where millions of viewers have tuned in to watch extended behind-the-scenes antics.

CHTV, CollegeHumor’s sketch comedy web-series, includes original comedy shorts and plenty of film and television parodies. CHTV also produces “Stella” comedy troupe alumni Michael Showalter’s “Showalter” – a Charlie Rose-like spoof talk show with Hollywood A-Listers like Paul Rudd and “Superbad” star Michael Cera.  

“Introducing CollegeHumor’s original video content to the mobile space is the next step in growing its comedy empire, which has already seen incredible success online, in print and on TV,” said Andy Nulman, President and CMO of Airborne Mobile. “We’re thrilled to be bringing CollegeHumor’s irreverent humor to mobile users across North America, and excited to see it develop a massive mobile following.”

“By bringing CollegeHumor video to mobile, we’re facilitating instant, accessible comedy consumption that will appeal greatly to our tech-savvy fan base,” said Josh Abramson, President of CollegeHumor. “Airborne Mobile’s expertise in bringing stimulating and entertaining content to mobile users is unmatched, and we are incredibly excited to be working with them.”

The CollegeHumor mobile video channel will be rolling out on major North American carriers this summer.
