Bad Internet is an American web series that premiered on May 25, 2016, on YouTube Premium (then known as YouTube Red).[1] It is produced by CollegeHumor's Los Angeles-based production studio Big Breakfast.[2] The first season contains ten episodes, with only the first—"Which of the 'Friends' are You?"—available to view on YouTube without a YouTube Premium subscription.[3] As of November 2021, it has also been released on Dropout, CollegeHumor's streaming platform.[4] The series was inspired by Charlie Brooker's technology-centered anthology TV show Black Mirror. Sam Reich, CollegeHumor's head of video, said that in creating the series, he wanted to do a project that was both ambitious and true to CollegeHumor's slacker humor heritage.[5] Reich also told Mashable that Bad Internet was "a series built for the Internet."[6]
