Giraffe House was created in 2008 by Diego Attanasio and Adrienne Sundquist with an initial description of being "a new comedy for the small screen." The show traditionally follows four college roommates, known as the "giraffes," and was the first originally web-based show for MSU Telecasters. Since its creation, the show has competed as a nominee in several competitions and festivals, including the National College Funny Film Competition, where it placed 4th nationally in 2010, and Rooftop Comedy Festival, where it was selected as a finalist that same year. The Giraffe House Tailgate is an annual event hosted by the show, where the cast and crew commentate the MSU vs. U of M football game, with the first of these episodes airing October 15th, 2011. While the show posts primarily on YouTube, the first three seasons are mainly available through the Giraffe House Facebook page.
