Derrick Comedy is a popular sketch group from New York University. Made up of the 3 Main Actors of DC Pierson, Donald Glover and Dominic Dierkes, Director Dan Eckman and Producer Meggie McFadden.
Their ridiculous and often juvenile type of humour is often bold, shocking, outlandish and sometimes confronting but never boring. They create comedy that would most likely be targeted towards a more College aged audience, their most popular video online would hold testament to this considering "Bro Rape" which is a documentary about the trend of Homosexual Rape within college dormitories nation wide.
The Sketch is very brash and makes no attempts to be anything other than a running gag that in all Colleges that amongst those College guys that go around drinking beer and playing video games, there are select few that prey on young men during those few moments of vulnerability when men just hang out.
Besides making internet videos, Derrick Comedy also released a full length feature film called the Mystery Team. The whole plot isn't too far removed from their usual set of characters. A Bunch of 18 year olds' that haven't quite grown up yet and go around town trying to Solve "mysteries" like they did when they were 10 years old.

If you still watch Television and like shows like 30 Rock and the Office then you should definitely also check out Donald Glover on NBC's Community where he plays Troy Barnes, A High School Jock in a Community college stuck in a Spainish Study Group with a bunch of loveable misfits. Returning this January 20th on NBC. The Show itself is brilliant and Donald was given the part after show creator Dan Harmon came out of a screening of the Mystery Team.
