Penn Has Its Own Netflix, We're All Going to Flunk Out

It's Monday and it's really freaking cold outside, but we don't curr because we now have a new way to waste away our lives on the internet! UTV, Penn’s campus TV station, launched its new-and-improved website  yesterday. It features videos from Penn groups like Classless, Penn Masala, and Mask and Wig as well as 10 new original web series produced by and starring Penn students. We've created a short guide to help you figure out where to begin your journey to procrastination nirvana.

A Brief Guide to UTV's Original Content

The Gist:  Comedy sketches by Penn seniors

Reminds us of: SNL before all the good people left

The BoxScore

The Gist: A roundup of Quaker sportz

Reminds us of: SportsCenter but with a slightly lower caliber of athletics

The Button Show with Emily Rubin

The Gist: Senior girl interviews students under the button and makes them climb through the holes of the button.  It's actually much harder to do than it sounds.

Reminds us of: Chelsea Lately minus the booze yet much funnier

The Campus Cutie

The Gist: Interviews with Penn hotties (Those exist?).  Also, why haven’t we been contacted yet?

Reminds us of: Tiger Beat,  if it were a TV show instead of a (really good yet unfortunately misunderstood) magazine

The Ernest Experience

The Gist: Reality show starring one of Penn’s most famous/infamous characters

Reminds us of: Keeping up with the Kardashians, but with even more personality

Locust Talk

The Gist: Funny chick asks people awkward questions on Locust

Reminds us of: Love child between The Ellen DeGeneres, something on Comedy Central, and maybe The Howard Stern show? Dunno.

The News Flash

The Gist:  Summaries of current events so we can actually look like we know what's going on

Reminds us of: The news but more credible

Penn’s Got Talent

The Gist: Talented Penn kids being talented and stuff

Reminds us of: A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.  Just kidding, America’s Got Talent.

#SimplyPut

The Gist: A show by a Mask and Wig freshman about social issues relevant to our generation.  The kid has 143,000 followers on Vine, so you know he’s legit.

Reminds us of: We’re not really sure, but he's awesome.

The Roommate Wars

The Gist: Two sets of roommates compete to see who knows the most about their roomie

Reminds us of: A love child of Family Feud and early 2000s MTV reality competitions (RIP Room Raiders and Date my Mom)

In summary, thank you UTV for providing us with new guilty pleasures and helping us maintain our position below the mean, off the Dean's List, and uninvolved.  We couldn't do it without you.
