Funny or Die Celebrates First Birthday

Celebrities (Some Appropriately Donning Diapers), Familiar Faces and Friends Send Their Birthday Wishes in an Exclusive Video on http://www.funnyordie.com

LOS ANGELES, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Funny or Die, the award-winning website that launched a year ago is celebrating its first birthday with some good wishes from a host of celebrities and familiar faces in an exclusive video on http://www.funnyordie.com/.

"We started this website as a place for us and our friends to goof around and do stuff we can't do in movies and television. It's very cool to see that people responded to that spirit. We still have no clue what we're doing, and we're working very hard to keep it that way," said Adam McKay, one of Funny or Die's founders.

"Funny or Die has become the premier online comedy brand. It's not only the 'place to be seen' for funny people, it's also the place for comedy lovers to go on a daily basis for a comedy fix," says Dick Glover, CEO of Funny or Die and the Or Die Networks. "Over the coming months we have exciting changes in store to the site's design and content. We're adding lots of new content, and types of content, to give visitors even more laughs and more reasons to return to Funny or Die on a daily basis."

While the award-winning debut video "The Landlord" continues to cement its place in internet history as one of the most viewed videos of all time, over the past year Funny or Die has become one of the top destination for comedy on the web. Since the launch, Funny or Die has had over 200 million video views, over 30 thousand videos uploaded, and averages 3.2 million unique visitors per month.

Funny or Die's founders are Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy. Judd Apatow is also a Principal Partner, having joined forces with Funny or Die this past October. The company has offices in Palo Alto and Los Angeles, California and was originally funded by Sequoia Capital.
