‘Funny or Die’ sketch comedy TV show hits HBO

Friday, February 19 HBO will premiere an epic new series, Funny or Die Presents, which will hopefully be world’s better than Eastbound and Down and have a limited inclusion of not-funnyman Danny McBride. (Or better yet – how about not including him at all!)

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s website, Funny or Die, is the site that brought you The Landlord starring that adorable little Pearl, and also features clips made by actors such as Elizabeth Banks, Aziz Ansari, Zach Galafianakis, Tiffani Thiessen, and many others with equally as hard-to-spell names.

I must admit – I do need more Funny or Die in my life. Check these: PeeWee gets an iPad, Breakups in a noisy diner, or even Terrible Decisions with Ben Schwartz (and also the Tiffani Thiessen clip! mmm, Kelly Kapowski).  They’re all so amazing. So yes, HBO. I am totally down for this series.

And when does Will Ferrell ever go wrong? Ok, there was that Bewitched remake. And Land of the Lost. And Woody Allen’s Melinda and Melinda (oof).

But seriously – as long as Danny McBride doesn’t show up every week, I think we’re in for a treat.

Big shoutout to Paste Magazine. That magazine (and site) is the cat’s pajamas.
