CollegeHumor’s new game show tortures the people who are constantly glued to their phones. It’s called I Want My Phone Back, it gives its hosts free reign over its contestants’ mobile devices, and it just launched new episodes on Comcast’s Watchable platform.

The game ends whenever the contestant says “I want my phone back,” at which point they regain control of their mobile life and walk away with however much money they have earned up to that point.
