'Funny or Die' uses United's own commercial to blast the airline

We're on day two of the internet's relentless bashing of United Airlines after a passenger was forcibly ripped out of his seat on Sunday, and the internet is showing no sign of letting up.

While plenty of memes, jokes, and parody videos have been made after videos of the incident emerged, Funny or Die's take is among the most brutal.

Using United's "Flyer Friendly" ad from 2013, Funny or Die spliced in footage of the man being removed on the flight, and it's as hilariously awkward and cringeworthy as you'd expect.
