''Hardly Working'' is an online series of shorts taking place in the office from which the Website/CollegeHumor website is run. The series is written by and stars the CH staff. The first shorts were ten-second-long, one-joke bits shot with a cam-corder for fun, but as their popularity grew they expanded into full sketches several minutes long and shot with multiple professional cameras.

* ThoseWackyNazis: In "Wolfenstein", Owen finds a trunk full of Nazi paraphernalia belonging to his grandfather, but mistakenly believes the old man is a [[VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D Wolfenstein]] fan. It gets worse when he accidentally invites neo-Nazis, thinking they are an underground Wolfenstein fan club. This being the third time neo-Nazis were invited to the office, HR asks everyone to watch a movie about the Holocaust. At the suggestion of watching the first five minutes of Film/XMen, Owen (garbed in his grandfather's Schutzstaffel uniform) [[HypocriticalHumor refuses as the treatment of mutants in the movie is awful]].
--->'''Pat:''' They're so huge!
--->'''Owen:''' Yeah, they're ''covered'' in Wolfenstein tattoos.

* HollywoodNewEngland: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKTeyYNo2hA Federal Maashals]]" features the College Humor office being raided by two Federal Marshals with incomprehensible Boston accents. The go around the office shouting "GO SAAHX" (Boston Red Sox), humming Music/DropkickMurphys riffs, asking David and Sarah confusing questions and beating other people up. HilarityEnsues.

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Averted in "Is Grant Keith from Buzzfeed" where Keith's twin Grant Habersberger is explicitly fraternal even though they look alike. Grant's twin Keith O'Brien isn't specified one way or the other.



* LastNameBasis: Mike Trapp is called "Trapp," presumably due to their being [[https://youtu.be/jedA1-bFvC8?t=51 too many Mikes]] in the world, even though he's the only Mike we see working there.



* TheOtherDarrin: {{Invoked}} in "Is Grant Keith from Buzzfeed?" where Grant and Keith from Buzzfeed trade off playing Grant, Keith, Keith's twin brother Grant, and Grant's twin brother Keith practically every camera cut.



** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxJJ2LBI604 "Is Grant Keith from Buzzfeed?"]] Trapp complains about all the Grants and Ketihs in the office.
