China, IL is a reverse Animal House where the teachers are crazy and the students just want to learn.

So much good humor. Every group has a friend like frank, and baby cakes is an amazingly hilarious character with his stupidity and child like behavior. This show will not let you down. Many laughs!

A hilarious and underrated show. Fell in love with Brad Neely's sense of humor with his Professor Bros videos a few years back an this show doesn't disappoint.
