For those unfamiliar, funnyordie.com is a site hosting short comedy videos, some user-generated, some written by a professional staff, some featuring complete amateur talent, and some starring remarkably famous Hollywood types (Don Cheadle, Will Farell [whose production company also owns the site], James Franco, etc.). You can vote the pieces "funny" or "die," and they gain profile and prominence based on those votes. It's been quite successful commercially (Sequoia, a big venture capital fund, bought a giant stake in it) and produced some seriously amusing pieces -Drunk History, Acting with James Franco, and Between Two Ferns to name a few. The pieces are almost all short (seven minutes tops), goofy and light. Nothing to take too seriously.
And now they've made this:
Funny. Painful. Brilliant.
