DAVE-FRANCO

Apparently, Dave Franco’s penis is less impressive than DeAndre Jordan’s. We learn this and other fun “facts” (Franco can’t rap…or jump!) in Franco’s latest slightly NSFW video for Funny or Die, “Real Life H-O-R-S-E!”

The title says it all: We watch Dave and DeAndre compete in series of absurdly escalating challenges. Basketball is only the beginning.

EW talked with Franco about his Funny or Die collaborations, stripping down with DeAndre, and his desire to one day direct.

'Pete & Pete' reunion will make you laugh even as it destroys your childhood -- NSFW VIDEO

Revisiting the TV you loved as a kid generally leads to one of two things — realizing that you had horrible taste in elementary school, or being pleasantly surprised by how well your old favorites hold up. Happily, Nickelodeon’s eccentric, proto-hipster sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete is bound to inspire the second reaction — especially once you’re old (and wise) enough to recognize its guest appearances by unlikely stars including Michael Stipe, Iggy Pop, Janeane Garofalo, and Steve Buscemi.

It’s no surprise, then, that the ultra-hip SF Sketchfest chose to stage a Pete & Pete reunion in San Francisco last month. But before the cast appeared before a cheering crowd of ’80s babies, they stopped by a local bar for a pre-show drink — and Funny or Die’s cameras were there to capture everything that followed.

Funny or Die saves the day with Manti Te'o parody -- VIDEO

Tags: , , ,

Whether or not you care about Manti Te’o, the confusing hoax/scandal/Catfish-ing has produced some pretty incredible comedic moments over the past few days that will likely continue for as long as it takes to get the full story, which keeps getting stranger.

Thankfully, Funny or Die has jumped on the bandwagon as well with a Manti Te’o eHarmony parody ad. “I hate fake people. They’re just so…it’s like they’re not there when you’re talking to them. But it’s different with Lennay,” says Eugene Cordero portraying Te’o, as the camera cuts to a two shot of him and an empty seat on the couch. Lennay becomes his real-life imaginary friend. He plays catch with her. He feeds her chips. He fondles the computer. And he even references the hoax.

Watch the video after the jump. It’s just what we all needed on this Friday afternoon.

Funny or Die mocks NRA in new clip -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , ,

In the wake of President Obama’s new gun law proposals, the NRA yesterday released two videos that accused the President and NBC News’ David Gregory of being “hypocrites” because the schools their children attend have Secret Service protection (a.k.a “armed guards”), while the President was advocating for schools without armed guards. It didn’t take long for the Twitterverse to mock the NRA’s argument — and today Funny or Die took the joke one step further in a new spoof ad.

The clip mocks the over-the-top outrage from some in the NRA, asking, in response to the “Obama kids” argument, “Is it because the security needs between the President’s family and your family are different and comparisons are irrelevant?” before ending the ad with a NRA: Live in Fear slogan.

Will Ferrell is baffled that Funny or Die has 5 thousand -- er, million -- Twitter followers

by

Contrary to what this account (and this one, and this one…) would have you believe, Will Ferrell doesn’t use Twitter. So naturally, the comedian was amazed and perplexed to learn that his comedy video site Funny or Die has surpassed 5 million followers. “How is that possible?” he wondered upon hearing the figure. “That’s the approximate population of Singapore!” And after reading some of the account’s own tweets, his confusion only grew — “So we physically mail these out to 5 million people?”

Samuel L. Jackson and Anne Hathaway compete in epic Christmas 'sad off' -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , , Movies

Which of this year’s nineteenth century-set Christmas Day releases is more depressing: brutal slavery drama Django Unchained, or brutal failed revolution musical Les Misérables? There’s a sound argument to be made in favor of each — and stars Samuel L. Jackson and Anne Hathaway are more than happy to present their dreary cases in this new Funny or Die video. A sample point-counterpoint:

Jackson: “You try being a black man in the south in the 1800s. I bet you couldn’t handle being a black man in the south right now!”
Hathaway: “When there’s a French whore in the White House, then we can talk.”
Jackson: “You say that like there’s never been a French whore in the White House.”

And so on. Who claims victory in this bleak battle? You’ll have to watch to find out — though that random Rudolph who pops up near the beginning might be the video’s real winner.

Sarah Silverman reveals rules for being 'Bro-Choice' -- VIDEO

Tags: , , ,

Celebrity PSAs aren’t just for election season anymore. This week, active activist Sarah Silverman released a new Funny or Die video supporting the Draw the Line campaign, which is working to collect signatures for its “Bill of Reproductive Rights.” (Silverman appeared in a video for Draw the Line alongside Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, and several other celebs when the campaign launched in October.)

The clip — which sounds like it was co-written by How I Met Your Mother‘s Barney Stinson — sees Silverman laying out the rules for being “Bro-Choice,” a.k.a. in favor of greater reproductive rights for women. Example: “The way to a woman’s heart is never through a mandatory vaginal ultrasound.”

Be bropen-minded and check out the (naturally) NSFW PSA below:

Teri Hatcher shows you how to have a happy Black Friday -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , TV

Teri Hatcher’s never been this desperate. With Black Friday less than 48 hours away, the former Desperate Housewives star teamed up with Funny or Die to deliver us this inspiring or downright insane — depending on your personal views towards the so-called “holiday” — video of an overzealous housewife prepping her family for the sales madness.

Clad in camo and armed with a machine gun, Hatcher kicks off her rousing speech the way any good speechmaker should — by quoting from Independence Day. “Good evening,” she intones as she places a golden-crusted turkey before her family. “In less than an hour, I will be joining other women from around town and we will be participating in the earliest Black Friday ever in the history of mankind.” When her son tries to insist he doesn’t need a Wii, Hatcher gently informs him, “You say that now, but on Christmas Day if you don’t have a Wii, you’ll unleash a tornado of anger on all of us.” “You’re right,” he chirps. And years from now, when her grandchild asks her about the earliest Black Friday ever? Well, she won’t have to say she had a happy Thanksgiving with her family, including Tom Arnold as Hatcher’s cowed husband. Check it out below: READ FULL STORY »

Malin Akerman showcases the almost civilized parts of Canada in 'Funny or Die' clip -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Tags: , ,

As every American who’s ever visited Canada knows, our neighbor to the north is a frozen lawless wasteland in which Liam Neeson himself would struggle to survive. There’s marauding packs of wolves, vicious polar bears, and the bitter cold. My god, the bitter cold! Two America-loving Americans, though, were willing to brave the elements when one of them was assigned to a frontier outpost called Toronto. Jenny and Derek connected with a representative (Malin Akerman) from the native population, who was willing to show them some of the local non-igloo homes in this Funny or Die episode of House Hunters International.
