Funny Or Die

I don't know about you, but I like to laugh. I also like to take breaks during the day. And since I can't always have a margarita, I go visit the website Funny or Die. There have been a few sites like this one pop up over the last few years. They're a one stop site for funny videos and pictures. Most of them are animal based because sometimes animals are hilarious. While this one has a section for animals, the main focus is the human race and how funny we can all be. One of my favorite things on Funny or Die is a series of videos called "Between Two Ferns". It's made to look like a low budget public access interview show hosted by Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover, Visioneers). Zach interviews some of the most prolific celebrities that the world has to offer like Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper, and Charlize Theron. Zach acts like he doesn't know the people he's interviewing, he mispronounces their names, and asks ridiculous questions. You can tell the interviewees are in on the gag, but it's fun to see how they react to questions that they probably don't know he was going to ask. "Natalie Port Man, you starred in the Star Wars movies. Were you upset that you didn't get more scenes with Chewbacca?" This question asked with the deadpan delivery that Zach is so incredibly good at.
Between Two Ferns is just one of many series of videos on Funny or Die. There are also commercial parodies, fake movie trailers, and small videos from big talents. There is a section called Pictures & Words, which the title kind of explains it all. Podcasts, politics, and celebrities are all present in this great diversionary website. Be careful you don't go over your break time limit because it's easy to do. And if you're in a office taking a break at your desk, find a way to laugh quietly so as not to disturb your office mates. Or, even better, share it with them and laugh together.
