Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s production company Gary Sanchez Prods is launching a comedy site FunnyOrDie.com...the site has already received investment from Sequoia Capital, reports THR.
Since quietly going up as a beta release Thursday, the site’s debut two-minute video featuring Ferrell and McKay, writer-director of Ferrell vehicles including “Talladega Nights” has racked up more than 1.5 million page views (the video is here). The site allows users to upload their comedy videos, the best ones stay on and the worst ones go to a special section.
LATimes: They’ve already shot several other videos, some featuring Ferrell and some McKay.
