Funny or Die Gets Dedicated YouTube Channel

LOS ANGELES: A Funny or Die branded YouTube channel is set to launch, featuring a hand-selected slate of hit videos from the popular comedy website. 

Funny or Die co-founders Will Ferrell and Adam McKay kick off the launch with an appearance in a special video and as guest editors of YouTube’s homepage "Spotlight" section. All Funny or Die videos will continue to premiere on funnyordie.com first, and then will have a limited run globally on the dedicated YouTube channel. The funnyordie.com website will remain the only source for the full library of Funny or Die classic videos. 

"We are very excited to distribute a sub set of our videos through YouTube," said Dick Glover, the CEO of Funny or Die. "As one of the premier names in comedy it seemed like the right time to launch a Funny or Die branded channel."

"Funny or Die brings a welcome blend of comedy, celebrity and web originals to YouTube," added George Strompolos of YouTube’s content partnership manager. "This is an exciting partnership for YouTube and a big win for our community."
