Those who did not crowd Butler 209 on Thursday night can now see the whole show over on CUMB’s blog. We’ve embedded the first joke (about Ann Coulter) below as a preview.

Eh, didn’t live up to the hype. The jokes were pretty much playing to the crowd. I don’t think it would’ve gotten the same response in any other venue, although the “two peas in a pod” joke was pretty funny.
1. Orgo Night only happens at Columbia…of course the band writes jokes that ‘play to the crowd.’Likewise, of course it wouldn’t have gotten the same response in any other venue. Imagine if CUMB walked in and started making jokes about Hahvahrd as if they were the Yale Band, talking to Yale students. Wouldn’t be funny. Well, might be funny for about two seconds, but the point is that the jokes are meant to be Columbia-centric.
2. Whether it “lived up to the hype” is completely dependent on the quantity and caliber of the hype you heard.
3. The band is in no way liable for your sense of humor or lack thereof. We write the script, and we hope you like it. From what I’ve heard, most people did like it. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe your humor is just too cultured (dare I say too ‘gentrified’?) for us.
Bottom line: You did not enjoy Orgo Night, which is too bad for you, because I think many people did enjoy it. Criticizing Orgo Night for being what it is is just dumb though. It’s almost as dumb as coming to the College and then complaining that you have to take Core classes.
I lost some matte green Ray-Ban sunglasses during the last night of Senior Week revelry outside EC. If anyone finds them, take pity because they were the only thing that fools people into thinking that I’m cool. One delicious burrito dinner reward for their safe return. Email tips@bwog.com if you know anything.
Lost a Black High Sierra backpack containing a white binder and a red pencil bag in Ferris Booth Dining Hall on Wednesday, April 25th, around 7:30 to 8pm. It was left on a chair in the second floor in a table around the middle of the room close to the staircase. If spotted someone taking it or found, please call immediately at 208-964-6780 or email rm2999@columbia.edu
Lost a Blackberry Bold from Verizon Wireless at ADP on Saturday night. If found please email rsf2121@columbia.edu or call 601-994-3697. There will be a $$ reward!!
These were lost potentially on philosophy lawn on the evening of April 17th. The earrings are large silver flower cutouts and the mood ring is a blue band with small flowers inset. Both are old with a lot of sentimental value attached. Would greatly appreciate their return if found. Please contact on2139@columbia.edu/
646-496-3613, will reward with home baked goods and eternal gratitude.
the cumb’s twitter might even be funnier than the prezbo one. bwog should make a list of columbias hilarious twitterers.
Twitter is for the weak-minded.
but this isn’t very funny. and I totally agree with the sentiment- but the jokes are weak, if you can even call them jokes.
the first joke is a bomb. they’re basically taking ann coulter seriously.
If you think the first joke was a bomb, you’re obviously deaf to laughter and numb to humor. CUMB kicks ass! It was a great Orgo Night!
