For-profit universities are kind of a well-known scam at this point, exploiting people desperate to improve their lives by offering mostly useless degrees for a nominal fee.

This fake infomercial for For-Profit Online University parodies this sad reality, and has been airing on Adult Swim every day this week at 4am. It was directed by Sam West and written by a group of former Onion writers called Wild Aggressive Dog, which counts Geoff Haggerty, Dan Klein, Matthew Klinman, Michael Pielocik, and Chris Sartinsky as members.

The ad features the expected stock photos, gushing students and professors, and an unstoppable bot named Howard who might destroy the Panera Bread corporation — and the world — as we know it.

So save up some thought coins and enroll. We can all profit together:
