College Humor gets it right pretty often, and this remarkably well produced Sims spoof is perfectly aimed. Sure, we’ve all told our own version of the time we made our Sims die in a puddle of their own urine, but CH realises those jokes with impressive production values and a superb horror movie vibe. In fact, it’s because we’re all so familiar with the themes that it works so well. Watch it below.
haha spot on.

Hah, brilliant. It was a lot better than I expected.

I frequent TheOnion terribly often but haven’t really discovered College Humour. Feel free to link other highlights.

students eh.

That was great, totally different from what I expected.

oh that was brilliant.

That was awesome.

Oh gawd, that made me LOL hard! Truly spot on. Can’t awit until they get the full vid out :)

Head over to their site and watch the Street Fighter: The Later Years series. Comedy Gold. The Minesweeper movie trailer is awesome too.

Best movie since Minesweeper.

That is how they should do a Sims movie – but they won’t (maybe I’m exaggerating – it’s at least good for a short). Oh dear … what will the real The Sims: The Movie be like?

FUND IT

dear god. now i will never look at the sims the same way. especially the removal of ladder. it was always so much fun.
:D
great stuff

That’s interesting. I often play the Sims while jumping up and down on a couch and blubbering, “I’m having fun, I’m having fun, I’m having fun….”

The Diamond above his head should have been red, not green. None of that man’s needs were being furfilled. Things like that are what annoys me about College Humour – they have these great concepts and high production values but just fail on the attention to detail. They are often funny but never clever. Which is a pity.
That said, I’m glad someone has made that trailer. Something about people realising the sort of silly thoughts that wonder across gamers minds in short films makes me fuzzy and warm inside.

John, I think you might’ve meant “College Humor doesn’t get it right too often, but this remarkably well produced Sims spoof is perfectly aimed.”
report
Nope, I didn’t mean that at all. I think their videos (as opposed to those from outside that they post) are of a frequently superb quality.

It doesn’t trump minesweeper in humor or quality (in that it actually looks like a plausible movie trailer) but I lol’d :)

I prefer a game like The Sims because it’s like everyday life…

I like your article, it is really inspiring.

I cannot imagine I’ve ever found some sort of website with this several commentary on there!

Oh, well, this looks a little wrong in many ways!
