About For-Profit Online University
The infomercial consists of various students giving testimonies of their success, owing it to the school, literally named For-Profit Online University. The later half of the special introduces the threat of an evil rogue spambot named Howard, who was bribed with a large sum of ThoughtCoins, a digital currency used through the school, in an attempt to placate him.
Directed by Sam West, For-Profit Online University leans on a strong ensemble — Nicole Byer, Nelson Cheng, Nick Corirossi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2013.
