Game Changer is an innovative comedy game show produced by CollegeHumor in 2019. What makes this show extra intriguing is that it quite literally changes up the rules of the game in every episode. Interacting with deep comedic elements, it calls upon a different tempest of anticipation, exciting viewers as they await the revelation of each episode's unique, often absurd, game structure. This unpredictability forms the creative core of the show's appeal, offering the thrill of transformation in conventional game show models.

Hosted by the highly energetic comic, Sam Reich, Game Changer invites a rotating cast of CollegeHumor regulars as contenders. The contestants, often consisting of popular internet comedians and CollegeHumor alumni, are thrown into this tantalizing spiral of mystery games. They then have to navigate the absurd set of spontaneously declared rules to try securing a win. Reich’s performance as the host is enigmatic, adventurous, and laugh-out-loud funny. He brings a refreshing touch of theatricality to the game show landscape.

Throughout the progression of the game, the players acquire and lose points in line with their performance, in the form of green or red beads, which they collect in clear plastic cups. The contestant having the greatest number of green beads by the end of the show wins. Simultaneously, the show indulges viewers with suspense as they try to anticipate the eccentric shifts and twists the game is about to take.

Despite the ultimate prize being a mere symbolic trophy, the players are seen to bring their best, if not their weirdest, to each game. This spirited competition fuels the hilariously unpredictable action, capturing audiences’ attention. The interplay between the host, the contestants, and the surprise nature of each game stretch the bounds of traditional game shows and rewrite the tropes in an entertaining and offbeat way.

Beyond its overall fun and comic setting, one of the notable aspects of Game Changer is the way it plays with convention. It turns the idea of a traditional game show on its head by altering the game rules and structure with every episode, and sometimes even within a single episode. This distinguishing feature makes every episode feel like a standalone sketch, and it skillfully incorporates a variety of different comedic elements, ranging from physical comedy to farcical misunderstandings and clever wordplay.

Furthermore, each round of the game introduces an array of imaginative challenges for the contestants. These challenges are, in themselves, a delightful mix of hilarious chaos and intelligent creativity that adds to the show's unique charm. It is the balance of suspense, surprise, humor, and unpredictability that makes Game Changer such an quality watch.

True to CollegeHumor's brand of comedy, Game Changer doesn't just showcase a game show; it parodies the entire concept by amplifying its fundamental principles to ridiculous extremes. The players, scoring structure, game fits, and quirky punishments all work together to upend the stereotypical structure and conventions of traditional game shows.

Each episode of Game Changer is a wild roller coaster ride where viewers can watch their favorite CollegeHumor faces being tossed headlong into a confusing labyrinth of unique game rules, riddles, and comedic challenges. It is a show that truly puts its contestants to the test while challenging the viewers’ preconceptions of what a comedy game show should be.

Unpredictable, outrageous, and exceptionally creative, Game Changer is an innovative breath of fresh air in the world of comedy game shows. One can not predict what’s coming next, and that’s the beauty of it. The passion evident in the production of the show is paralleled by the contending performances of its contestants. Overall, this show holds an addictive appeal that doesn’t let you switch off, integrating the classic fun of a game show with the charm of CollegeHumor's offbeat comedy. If you’re a fan of comedic improv combined with the excitement of game shows with unexpected twists, Game Changer is right up your alley.
