Reminder that there are tons of episodes of Breaking News up on Dropout.tv, including new episodes popping up every other Friday! We wouldn't let little things like a pandemic and nearly everyone getting fired keep us from finding new opportunities to roast Grant.
@@Daikon_Micucci you can see the script rolling at the bottom as they speak, so it's easy to tell what's in there and what's their addition- and they added the bullying parts
"My favorite memory about Grant is the vicious ass-kicking he received minutes after this broadcast." Oh c'mon the joke was way funnier because of the "received"... In my opinion at least...
My 3 favorite things about Grant: 1. The fact that he can bring a room of people together in shared loathing. 2. His absolutely absurd amount of self confidence. Which can only be matched by the world's collective distaste of him. 3. Height.
My favorite three things about Grant Anthony O'Brien are the fact that he will do literally anything on camera for approval, the courage and self-honesty I assume it took for him to come out as a 7 1/2 foot tall power bottom, and finally that he's probably a little aroused when four of his friends disdainfully insult him in this video.
@@DubiousFuzzbear Oh he absolutely is, the man is literally helping me propose to my partner via Cameo, just a wonderful guy. But there’s GOTTA be some embarrassing videos and stories they can dig up 👀
For someone who's usually so good at keeping a straight face absolutely nothing makes Brennan break on this show quite so consistently as Grant O'Brien's syphilis.
My favorite thing is how they refused to give Grant even an INCH, the back handed shade. The barely contained disgust at Grant shamelessly flattering himself and forcing them to say it. I- it’s amazing 😂
It's extra funny that Brennan makes fun of him going "Say,..." as an interjection when Grant wrote text for Katie to go "Say, I'll get in on that action". Idk if Brennan noticed that and because of it poked fun at that or if he didn't notice and just happened to make fun of Grant with that one.
3:55 they misspelled vicious as viscous, which means to flow slowly and thickly like molasses (hence viscosity), which makes his viscous ass-kicking even funnier
My favourite thing about Grant is how he contrives situations where he will either be excessively praised (a kink) or ruthlessly humiliated (also clearly a kink).
My favorite things about Grant are: The fact he can't eat solid foods after this aired, that he can't hold things without spilling them on himself, and that he thought he was going to get away with this atrocity.
Well, we got what people asked for. A showdown with all the best players, and it was really good. Clean, straightforward, and allowed the jabs at Grant to be so clear and perfect.
it's sad that everyone was doing well because it was wildly unfunny ND it was all written by Grant so that's like double insult to injury... then they roasted him shitless so triple kill.
Even the person in charge of the news headlines at the bottom was roasting grant. “Literally, he puts in ZERO effort” “He puts the me in mensch” (After ‘the only person he’s in competition with is himself) “Yet somehow still loses to self” “The big bird brain himself” (‘Here’s my favourite memory of Grant) “Remember that one time… With the sheep?”
Was probably spelled wrong on Brennan's role like "feild reporter" instead of field reporter. Which is why we don't see it as they don't list roles anymore
I feel like the banner headline jokes above the crawl don't get enough love. "Total Rehkal," "Hey, It's the D20 Guy!" and "Glass Half Empty of Tall Drink of Water" made me laugh so much it distracted me from the actual show lol. Great work, whoever does those!
Feel bad for Grant but then his friends and people he trusts remind me how horrible he really is. Thanks for the reminder guys. I will NEVER unlearn nor un-see the things I've learned about him!
My favorite things about Grant: he can be a live-action Jack Skelington, and his infinite capacity to brush off total public humiliation. Seriously, dude, that's a talent.
i love how the majority of the replies from the channel are just "no amount of pain can get back at the writers for bullying grant that hard in that one other episode"
Katie's deadpan abilities make her so funny. The delivery on her favorite things was one of the only ones that made people burst out into full on laughter lol
What I like about Grant is his ability to mask his flaws physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual with a fully devoloped sense of self-righteous delusion and casual disregard for his obivious inadequacies.
@@dropout The lack of both capitalization and punctuation excludes you from using that as the reason for your inner grammar nerd throwing himself in a volcano.
God, Brennan is a goddamn brilliant improviser. The fact he was able to jump to Dust Bowl Indianapolis and outdated interjections, is just Wonderful Granted he did have longer than the other three, since he probably noticed the pattern before hand, but still
I really really really want to see the real script that Grant wrote. About halfway through they all got super uncomfortable and started making up their own lines

Breaking news is definitely a way better name than no laugh newsroom. Boo to that name. BooOo I say.
Are these four (and Grant) still employed by CollegeHumor? Or are these videos that were taped a long time ago and are still slowly being released?
good to hear, this is my favorite series :)
That was my precise thought.
@@brandobond this is an older one but we're making new ones with the cast now

"My favorite memory about Grant is the vicious ass-kicking he received minutes after this broadcast."

The fact that Brennan has broken not once but TWICE at the mention of Grant and syphilis.
First off,
*GRANT CAUGHT SYPHILIS IN JANUARY*
@@Manakuuchiha and he’s had it twice because he likes to Al Ca-bone 😔
The two things that have made Brennan really lose it: 1) Grant & syphilis 2) International cooperation within the UN

grantcaughtsyphilisinjanuary
Katie is a stone-cold pro. She owns this show. Not even a contest.
And then there’s Amy Vorpahl who is basically the anti-Katie.
Recently we rewatched every single Breaking News on Dropout and Katie only laughed ONE TIME. It's uncanny. She's incredible.
Mostly cuss she ops out of the game, in the "Think of 3 thing" she straight up bailed, she wins by not playing
Unfortunately, it brings down the humor level
True
The fact that Grant’s typos and opportunities for improv were the things that made Brennan break is the best
Where were the typos? Couldn't find them and it's driving me crazy!
@@kflynn5754 they say field is spelled wrong. probably for the field reporter position, not for anything they actually say.
Don't forget the syphilis.
@@huddl3buh50 Oh that makes sense! Man, I thought I was going mad.
Brennan has had to read ridiculous stuff with a straight face before, but he can't predict what comes out of his friends mouths
“It’s the disease that killed Al Capone, and I’ve had it twice, as I like to Al Cabone.” -Grant on his Syphilis.
no, it was syphilys
@@tarquinioprisco8459 do you know what, your right. I’m sorry

There is simply no revenge big enough for what was done to Grant in that episode.

"How tall is Grant, exactly?"
"Unfortunately it's impossible to know, since nobody can reach up there to measure."
It's all about perspective lol
Taller than Zack but shorter than Katie
The atmosphere gets thinner up there, so to measure him requires hazard pay. Noone can afford that ish.
@@nickswafford2413 But Zack is taller than Katie too.
@@cptbaker It’s a video reference bud
Grant Anthony O'Brien tries to get revenge, and it backfires horribly.
That's exactly what i was going to say grant thought he was going to get everyone back and he came out worse than he started

@@dropout I thought that episode was the retaliation for this one.
@@diegoborges1348 It was, but this episode was until recently exclusively on Dropout so lots of people saw them in the other order
I love how viscerally angry Brennan looks the whole time
"In moments like this I like to think about........"
And then him just shaking his head no. I'm dying.
E
Brennan looks like he’s been locked in the Collegehumour basement between videos.
we never had a basement, possible he was hiding in the supply closet though
hes probably sampling different Oreo flavours
@@dropout You mean Sarah and David finally got out? Or did Brennan move in with them?
Hes locked in the dimension20 dome between episodes lol

All I’m saying is Grant now needs to write the script for a “True Facts About Brennan Lee Mulligan” episode, please and thank you
The only problem with that is that Brennan is just kind of a really wholesome person.

Honestly, it’s boring with her in them.
Well, luckily none of them are in these anymore, since they all got fired.
@@originalindigodingo laid off, more like it.
I think that exactly why she _should_ be on these
“My favorite memory of Grant is the vicious ass-kicking he will receive minutes after this broadcast ends.” Was gold.
Nothing will ever beat the episode where Brennan called Grant a “stinky little trash pig”.
I thought he called grant a sweet little toilet pig who wants his yummy-yummy crap 🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of the SNL skit (can’t remember the name) with the spelling be and the urophilliac. “Little pig boy comes from the dirt.”
Well now I have to know which one that is
I believe it was a spelling bee competition when James Franco hosted!
For someone who's usually so good at keeping a straight face absolutely nothing makes Brennan break on this show quite so consistently as Grant O'Brien's syphilis.
My favorite thing is how they refused to give Grant even an INCH, the back handed shade. The barely contained disgust at Grant shamelessly flattering himself and forcing them to say it.
I- it’s amazing 😂
No need to give Grant inches, he's tall enough!
They actively stole inches from him. Then again, he has plenty to spare.
It's extra funny that Brennan makes fun of him going "Say,..." as an interjection when Grant wrote text for Katie to go "Say, I'll get in on that action". Idk if Brennan noticed that and because of it poked fun at that or if he didn't notice and just happened to make fun of Grant with that one.
Revenge is a dish best served passive aggressively via teleprompter.
Just like my father always told me
3:55 they misspelled vicious as viscous, which means to flow slowly and thickly like molasses (hence viscosity), which makes his viscous ass-kicking even funnier
A brilliant sequel to "True Facts about Grant Anthony O'Brien."
E
"He behaves as though he was shot forward in time from Dustbowl-Era Indianapolis"
Suspiciously specific, yet somehow on the nose.
My favourite thing about Grant is how he contrives situations where he will either be excessively praised (a kink) or ruthlessly humiliated (also clearly a kink).
God, Katie is a freaking BEAST on these "Don't Break" challenges.
something something cocaine
My favorite things about Grant are: The fact he can't eat solid foods after this aired, that he can't hold things without spilling them on himself, and that he thought he was going to get away with this atrocity.
I just realized Grant may be the most successful cat pretending to be a person ever.
Fun fact: Katie has never smiled.
Good for her, never give them the satisfaction I say.
She has a grand total of once.
@@PrimeofPerfection *grant total
She nailed it!
Do you meen on the show or just in general?
Well, we got what people asked for. A showdown with all the best players, and it was really good. Clean, straightforward, and allowed the jabs at Grant to be so clear and perfect.
Yeah, Keith is a pretty cool guy ain’t he.
This took me a second
Wait...Grant isn’t secretly Keith from BuzzFeed trying to work for both companies at the same time, is he?
@@EF-kk3vh They meant Grant's twin brother, Keith O'Brien
they even talk the same way 😭😭😭
Love the timing in 4:20 "and his rampant syphllis." followed by "I'll get in on that action"
"You know what I like about Grant? Nothing." Should go on some merchandise
Is anyone else unsurprised that Katie won this. I mean, her poker face is 10/10.
She gets so stone-faced in these she would easily win a staring competition with an actual statue.
I loved that she managed to make the others burst out laughing whilst looking dead inside 😂
I only broke when they went off scrip and started roasting Grant again.
Yeah it was aggresively unfunny until they turned it around.
it's sad that everyone was doing well because it was wildly unfunny ND it was all written by Grant so that's like double insult to injury... then they roasted him shitless so triple kill.
Even the person in charge of the news headlines at the bottom was roasting grant.
“Literally, he puts in ZERO effort”
“He puts the me in mensch”
(After ‘the only person he’s in competition with is himself) “Yet somehow still loses to self”
“The big bird brain himself”
(‘Here’s my favourite memory of Grant) “Remember that one time… With the sheep?”
I like that at 3:40 brennan was trying to be nice for a second. like he actually felt bad that he couldn't think of a fond grant memory
It's like the script is designed to indirectly make people laugh by making people tell funny jokes at it's expense.
Damn you really cracked the code on this one boss
*its (possessive)
it's = contraction of "it is/has"
2:58 Brennan's pause is just priceless :)
Breaking News has cracked up me so much, and I'm so glad its back.
Genuinely one of the most fun series to make (and not just cuz 25% of it is about roasting Grant)
@@dropout yes
I really wished Brennan said "True Facts About Grant Anthony O'Brien" was his favorite Grant memory
Even the crew in the background couldn't hold their laughter
Oh man, the lore you guys established for your on screen characters is fun to follow along with. Everyone hating Grant is hilarious. It's not serious
brennan hasn't even started talking and he's already done with this
Here's hoping for the survival of CollegeHumor
I’m losing my mind. They said “field is spelled wrong” don’t they? But I don’t know when they ever wrote out field?!? I’m just so confused!
I'm also in the comments looking for someone to explain this. Sorry mate but I don't know where the field was.
I searched but my best guess was maybe it was a prompt in the teleprompter, like a bracketed field that wouldn't make its way into the crawl
Was probably spelled wrong on Brennan's role like "feild reporter" instead of field reporter. Which is why we don't see it as they don't list roles anymore
Same, was looking through the comments for some kind of explanation after watching the piece 4 times end to end.
Also couldn't find it. Please help 😅😂
I feel like the banner headline jokes above the crawl don't get enough love. "Total Rehkal," "Hey, It's the D20 Guy!" and "Glass Half Empty of Tall Drink of Water" made me laugh so much it distracted me from the actual show lol. Great work, whoever does those!
My favorite thing about Grant is that I put in the effort, and that's enough.
Thanks grant
"You know what I like about grant? That time he let us embaras him for 10 minutes streight. That was fun!"
I like how Brennan didn't miss a beat reading true facts but had to pause reading this
Feel bad for Grant but then his friends and people he trusts remind me how horrible he really is.
Thanks for the reminder guys. I will NEVER unlearn nor un-see the things I've learned about him!
what things???
syphilis
How did Grant get fired?
Somehow I felt worse for Grant watching this episode than I did watching the true fact about Grant episode
Mr. Owl, how tall is Grant?
Let’s find out, one, t-hoo, ah three-
**bee hive falls on Grant**
You mean the beehive is on Grant.
I love how every time Grant writes a script they just end up roasting him
I don’t think I laughed until they started making up their favorite things but then it got really funny.
My favorite things about Grant: he can be a live-action Jack Skelington, and his infinite capacity to brush off total public humiliation. Seriously, dude, that's a talent.
Watching Brennan get angrier and angrier as it went on was hilarious 😂
HOW IS KATIE SO GOOD AT THIS??! I think i can count on one hand how many times she's laughed or smiled through all of these!!
Grants payback for the previous episode about him is another episode about him...
Grant had to have known all this was coming, and that's the funniest part of all of this
Katie's so good at this.
i love how the majority of the replies from the channel are just "no amount of pain can get back at the writers for bullying grant that hard in that one other episode"
BREAKING NEWS: Trapp is gonna kill Grant next!!!!!
*Allegedly*
@@EF-kk3vh is that Pat murder actually solve or not?

Katie's deadpan abilities make her so funny. The delivery on her favorite things was one of the only ones that made people burst out into full on laughter lol
What I like about Grant is his ability to mask his flaws physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual with a fully devoloped sense of self-righteous delusion and casual disregard for his obivious inadequacies.
I was literally just watching all of the Breaking News episodes, rewatched the Grant one twice, I was so happy to see this get uploaded now
Does....does Grant like to get bullied?
Actually......I’m starting to think he does
I think he did say he had a humiliation fetish on one of CH's live streams. Which was preceding the True Facts of Grant Anthony O'Brien episode.
Well, he IS a bottom.
Katie's ability to remain straight-faced in all of these is awesome. She is so good at not laughing lol.
overjoyed to see brennan finds grant's syphilis as funny as ever!
I love that Grant leveraged an entire media company just to make this tinder ad.
Ngl, I look forward to this series! I hope to see more of Zac tho, kinda miss him in skits
I love that this game show about not laughing now has multi-episode lore
Grant had fun with this one, I feel.
"Wet, loud, and stinky." So Grant is just a literal fart now?
I'm pretty sure @2:09 is Katie actively trying not to lose it.
I have no idea why, but Trapp stoically saying, "She's screaming, 'Weeee!' really loudly," was absolutely hilarious to me XD
obviously, there isn't an office to have stories in anymore
yknow I'd say my favorite thing about Grant is just how humble he is

This is honestly my favorite TH-cam series

You know what i like about Grant is how he can brighten a room simply by leaving it
This whole episode makes me want to rewatch the brutal massacre of Grant's reputation that was the True Facts episode of Breaking News.
okay trapp's final line genuinely got me. fantastic comedic timing and delivery
Brennan's full second of silence before finishing the first "Grant" claim.
As many of these that are made, no line will ever top Lou yelling “MERYL STREEP FEASTS TONIGHT!”
what episode is that from?
@@danandbands5854 I believe it’s the second episode of the pilot series. It has Lou and Ally in it
3:11 - When did the script say "field"?
I've been trying to find it ever since this video came out and I have completely idea! Maybe the joke was cut from the edit?
honestly I swear Grant forgets the "true facts" episodes about him when he writes stuff like this, I can't wait for the inevitable number 3
I like Grant's inattention to detail.
"he behaves as though he was shot forward in time from Dust Bowl Era Indianapolis!" That really got me.
Omg I can already tell this is gonna be one of the best
God, Brennan is a goddamn brilliant improviser. The fact he was able to jump to Dust Bowl Indianapolis and outdated interjections, is just
Wonderful
Granted he did have longer than the other three, since he probably noticed the pattern before hand, but still
It's about time Grant got to respond to the roast he took oh so long ago.
If you press 9 really fast you can hear Brennan meeping
I really really really want to see the real script that Grant wrote. About halfway through they all got super uncomfortable and started making up their own lines
I love the fact that every time its a script that Grant has written everyone on set just starts destroying him on recording.
It makes me so happy that college humor is still staying alive. I support dropout and the content is great. So glad to see the cast back together.
Man I just noticed... Trapp literally never stops moving throughout the entire episode lol
