I'm assuming there is a market for 90 minute narratives.

CollegeHumour is only really competition for things like Archer, Family Guy and the like. So really only a competition for TV.

There is still a market for Movies, and its a large and thriving market (in the UK movie going is at an all time high.)

You're not going to kill hollywood by stringing together a few gags into a 90minute combo. movie42 is a good example of that.

People want content, and until you can provide content that is on a par, or better than movies, you are pissing in the wind

In college we got offered free focus group passes to see The Underground Comedy Movie on Sunset. It was gags thrown together into the worst movie I've ever seen. We also got to see King Cobra that way.

It wasn't always bad though. We got to see 2001 as part of a focus group in Woodland Hills when they were considering releasing it to theaters. We were lucky there.
