Comedy is harder than it looks. Especially when it involves pratfalls. But seriously, folks, all it takes is a full episode viewing of Saturday Night Live to realize that while funny concepts are easy, actually delivering on that premise and filling time is a bit harder. So, a tip of the hat to director Sam Reich for actually expanding on what could have been a one-note CollegeHumor.com parody — Add an "R" to the Queen operatic fantasy "Bohemian Rhapsody" and you get "Brohemian Rhapsody," an elegy from the POV of a frat boy brofus. Considering the target market implicit from the site's name College Humor, this is about as juvenile as it should have been, from the opening box-chowing gag to the pissed khaki shorts, the downright excessive vomit sequence and the overall implicit homo eroticism of the fraternity life. And, of course, we also get a parody of the original Queen video where the operatic breakdown involves a tragic encounter with a lamp and the aforementioned vomiting. --> watch "Brohemian Rhapsody"
