About Us
We tell fun, original stories that make people laugh.
Funny Or Die (FOD) is a premiere entertainment brand and independent comedy studio that creates award-winning, premium comedy with today’s biggest stars and tomorrow’s freshest voices.
Funny Or Die reaches a global audience of more than 40 million people across all our social platforms. The company has produced the critically-acclaimed Brockmire for IFC, Emmy-nominated Billy on the Street, the Peabody award-winning American Vandal for Netflix, the Emmy-nominated Sarah Silverman series I Love You, America for Hulu, and the feature films, Between Two Ferns: The Movie for Netflix, and Impractical Jokers: The Movie for Warner Media.
Funny Or Die’s new true crime documentary series For Heaven’s Sake recently premiered on Paramount+ as did the new animated fourth season of No Activity. Funny Or Die produced two primetime specials in 2020, Essential Heroes: A Momento Latino Event on CBS, and Feeding America Comedy Festival on NBC.
We have a passion for treating talent well and making premium comedy that never fails to surprise people, including ourselves. With those principles as our constant guide, we look forward to dominating the known comedy universe and one day, perhaps, maybe even breaking even.
Funny Or Die was founded in 2007 with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy’s infamous “The Landlord” video and has since become a comedy juggernaut. In May 2021, Henry R. Muñoz III, a national leader in design, healthcare and cultural empowerment, announced that he had acquired Funny Or Die and now serves as its sole owner.
