Funny or Die is a comedy website founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s production company, Gary Sanchez Productions in 2006 that contains exclusive material from a number of famous contributors.
Voting System
Funny or Die users are given two options when voting on videos they view: “Funny” or “Die”. The videos are put in either the “Immortal” or “Crypt” sections of the site depending on the total percentage of people who voted the video “Funny.” The Funny or Die staff has the option of “Chosen One,” which can hide voting scores from the public.
Funny or Die Comedy Tour
In February 2008, Funny or Die launched “Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die Comedy Tour,” featuring Ferrell and several notable comedians and members of the Funny or Die staff.
Funny or Die Presents
In June 2008, HBO announced that it had purchased a stake of less than 10% in Funny or Die. Funny or Die will be responsible for developing 10 half-hour episodes for HBO, and the companies may organize future comedy tours together.
