dead man on campus be not just an unfunny comedy while it a disturbing comedy . the two protagonist be college freshman and one a spoiled rich hell raiser and the other a studious type on an academic scholarship . of course and their lifestyle collide and the reprobate rich kid win out and corrupt his roommate . soon they be both on the verge of flunk out and and their only salvation be if one of their roommate commits suicide . then the survivor get a 4 . 0 for their grief . since neither of them want to do it and and they have an empty bed in their dormitory suite and they look for a depressed underclassman to befriend and and then try to push over the brink . i believe that this be a very serious offense ( like murder ) and but dead man on campus play it for laugh . and fail miserably . so not only be this movie humorless and it be amoral . it also make by mtv which be not surprising . avoid this mess at all cost . also note that the imdb plot outline if your roommate dy you get straight a for your grief . so a college student fake suicide and his roommate cash in on it be wrong . the two murderous protagonist want their roommate to really kill themselves . there no faking to it . funny it not .
