What an odd mashing of worlds: Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's production company has taken an investment from esteemed venture capital firm Sequoia Capital to launch a new comedy video site.
The first video posted to the new site, FunnyorDie.com, has already been viewed more than 2 million times - it's embedded below, and it's pretty funny. The site will also accept user-generated comedy videos. Creators of popular clips will be "put on a private jet to Paraguay", the founders say. Clips that aren't funny are sent to "die".
The site isn't pretty, but we all know that the content is far more important - LiveLeak isn't the prettiest of sites, either. Sequoia know how to pick 'em, and you can't go wrong with Will Ferrel's universal appeal.
Update: Embeds are dead. Clip is here.
