Sam Reich is the super-talented director behind Collegehumor.com's viral sensation "Street Figher: The Later Years" along with a horde of hilarious films by the group "Dutch West." We had the chance to sit down with him at the CH offices and discuss all sorts of fun stuff.

This is part 1 of 3.

Who does the interviews?

[indymogul]

Justin, one of the Indy Mogul crew out in NYC did this one and the one with the "Palo Alto" director Brad Leong.

@RealPolyester You're a dumb cocksucking faggot nigger.

I should apologize. Despite my former vitriol, and the sarcasm you just delivered, I honestly wish you the best of luck. All the Aussies I've met have been cool.

I wish I had the wherewithal and skill to direct my own work on Youtube. I don't and probably won't. Upon reflection, responding to your earlier comment reminded me of how tired I become when arguing with people. Such is probably a product of stress... Something I need to mitigate.

[aworldgonemad]

@RealPolyester I know. We all love Rufus from 'bill and Ted'. Now if you don't mind my blooming onion is getting cold. Chookas!

@aworldgonemad

Indeed, I lead a boring and fruitless life examining the genetic requirements of disease.

I also see that you've developed an irrational sense of authority and self-worth because you've uploaded 21 videos to Youtube. My conclusion: underachiever.

And If you happen to be an Aussie, you’re probably the only one who could go to an Outback Steakhouse in Detroit, MI and think you’re home.

P.S. This is comedy that hasn’t been commoditized (copy and search):

@RealPolyester I checked out all the worthwhile video's you've posted....Well, I couldn't find any on here. Maybe they're on another site perhaps?

You're comment makes you come across as one of those infinitely boring rhetoric spewing douche bags who everyone avoids at a party.... I'm just telling the truth.

Thanks Sam,

Your work smells like canned garbage. American comedy and, indeed America, is now dumber because of it. "More family friendly stuff was more accepted in larger audiences"? Really? Does George Carlin pass this criteria? Oh, I know. He actually had something important to say.

The significance of your work approaches that of American Idol (i.e., worthless).

-Best

P.S. I hold no personal interest. See my other comments. I'm just telling the truth.

I dunno about the alone stuff. I mean, I do watch a lot of collegehumor videos on my own, but when I really like it, I gotta go show my friends and watch it with them immediately.
