FunnyorDie.com - Be Funny, or Meet a Fiery Death

FunnyorDie embraces morbid comedy in a whole new light with their concept of “Be Funny or Die” that´s backed up by your favorites, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It´s simple, users upload video content because they think they´re funny, and well if they´re not, they´ll be voted to just die. If you´re getting the virtual tomatoes too many times, you´ll be sent to the crypt where you´ll be forced to question your purpose on earth and perhaps opt out of comedy for awhile. If you´ve got a gift for giggles then you might even be voted up to immortal status where you´ll be glorified like Arthur Fonzerrelli or Thor. Or perhaps you´re just kinda cute, worth just a little snicker, like a Family Ties episode. Your fate gets worse the less they laugh, so put on your giggle googles and show them what you´ve got.

“This site was created by Gary Sanchez Productions and a bunch of Silicon Valley guys who drive Hondas and watch old episodes of Babylon Five. Venture capitalist, Mark Kvamme and his son came up with a concept for a new kind of comedy site and approached Will Ferrell and Adam McKay´s company, Gary Sanchez Productions. Randy Adams, a Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur, signed on to handle design and implementation. They along with writer/producer Chris Henchy sought to make a comedy site where established comedians and regular users could put up stuff just because they think it´s funny. At the same time they wanted to eliminate all the junk that people have to pick through to find funny stuff. So they came up with the funny or die idea.”
