You need to be a real Internet geek to appreciate these 3 brilliant videos from College Humor, but trust me they are very, very funny. All 3 videos are based on what would happen if the sort of idiots who you see leaving pointless, stupid and crass comments on various forums and blogs (thankfully not this one though) were to act in the real world as they do online.
