New York, N.Y. - In a technological innovation of massive proportions, executive producers Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy have done the unthinkable - they have merged TV with the Internet with Funny or Die Presents! Based on the popular comedy web site, FunnyorDie.com, this half-hour late-night comedy series from HBO provides some of the sharpest writers, actors and comedians in the business free rein to create off-the-wall sketches, animations, music videos and more. Featuring unexpected guest stars in even less expected roles, Funny or Die Presents: The Complete First Season crosses lines you never even knew existed. The two DVD set, featuring all 12 episodes in the series, will be available on January 11, 2011 for the suggested retail price of $29.98.
Definitely not for the kiddies, Funny or Die Presents features an outrageous collection of disparate sketches loosely showcased within the framework of a "network" that features 70's style washed out graphics and music, and hosted by a decidedly unhip, white-haired spokesman who looks like he just walked off a used car commercial. With subject matters like "Playground Politics," "Sleeping with Celebrities," "Casual Sex," "Holdup," "Drunk History," "Designated Driver" and more, this riotous series features wildly funny performances from film and TV luminaries such as Will Ferrell, David Spade, John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle, Zooey Deschanel, Fred Willard, Ed Helms, Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Zach Galifianakis, Richard Lewis and Jen Kirkman, as well as FunnyorDie.com favorites like Derek Waters, Eric Sloven, Leo Allen, Paul Scheer, Rob Riggle, Mike O'Connell, Jennie Pierson and David Neher.
