Trivia / Drop-Out

• Accidentally-Correct Writing: In "Zordon is a Racist", the title character claims that he plans to recruit a Jewish person as the Green Ranger based on the Greedy Jew stereotype (as part of the Running Gag of Zordon being outlandishly bigoted). While only intended as a reference to paper money (which is predominantly green in the United States), green apparel actually was a way of coding characters as Jewish in antisemitic propaganda during the Middle Ages, well before paper money was widespread in the west.
• Died During Production: Mary Pat Gleason, the voice of Professor Foxtrot on WTF 101, died of cancer on June 2, 2020; as a result, combined with the cost of animation, Dropout have stated that a continuation of the series is unlikely.
• Fake American: Siobhan Thompson is British, but can put on an American accent when the sketch needs to call for it.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A lot of videos seem to have only ever been hosted on the website rather than their channel, so with the collapse of the site in 2020, it has become increasingly hard to find many old videos. A few can be found on CH's successor Dropout streaming service, but it's still far away from being a complete archive. It doesn't help that they've started to take down other old videos for either not aging particularly well or featuring copyrighted music in a YouTube automatic detection landscape.
• Life Imitates Art: CollegeHumor made a video of the GoFundMe CEO having a breakdown over the pressure of having his site used for healthcare. A little over a year later, the actual GoFundMe CEO testified before Congress saying basically the exact same things, specifically mentioning how emotionally overwhelming it is for him and his team.
• Meaningful Release Date: The video "Billy Crystal and John Goodman Meet Their Monsters" was posted the same day Monsters University was released.
• Missing Episode: In later years, the channel has removed older videos that haven't stood the test of time, clearly to avoid controversy.
  • "Flipping Off Hot Chicks" was already fairly divisive even before sexual harassment became more unacceptable. The entire video is just of a man with a megaphone starting conversations with random attractive women, and then saying "fuck you" to them through the megaphone. Men harassing women on the street for just being women definitely didn't age well.
  • "Back To The Future Alternate Ending" is about Marty coming back from the past to find out that Biff committed suicide because of the changes he made. Marty's parents chastise him for calling out Biff's behaviour, and George openly hates "Calvin Klein" for making him become violent. At no point is it mentioned that Biff tried to rape Lorraine, which was called out even by viewers when it first uploaded, who were confused why the skit was trying to make them feel bad for a sadistic bully and attempted rapist.
  • "We Didn't Start the Flame War", a parody of Internet arguments. It was likely due to its liberal use of slurs — while it doesn't portray using them as a good thing, it doesn't really condemn them beyond "the person using them is an argumentative asshole in a sea of argumentative assholes" either.
  • "Sniper" is the only episode of Josh's Mindhouse to no longer be on their Youtube channel. It's a skit where a man hallucinates an Arab terrorist — Josh himself in garb and brownface — appearing out of nowhere aiming a sniper rifle at him.
