Batman’s Alfred Gets the (Fake) Trailer That Gotham Deserves

The DC movie universe continues to expand, but one backstory has yet to be given its own cinematic introduction: Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler. A new parody trailer seeks to right this wrong, and the result is a surprisingly impactful glimpse into the history of Batman’s surrogate father. Funny Or Die has released a trailer…

In Justice League Parody, Batman Has To Call In the Backups

The problem with calling in the big guns is that sometimes, the big guns are busy. They’ve got important big gun stuff to do, after all. But when a hero like Batman needs help, he really needs it. So, uh, well, let’s see who we can find. That’s the implicit premise of Funny Or Die’s…

Comedy Central Adds Blue Alien to Late-Night with The Gorburger Show

The latest comedy icon to join late-night isn’t Jessica Williams or Desus & Mero, it’s the freakish offspring of a Labyrinth creature and Sully from Monsters Inc. Comedy Central announced at this year’s TCA that it’s picked up Funny or Die’s The Gorburger Show for an eight-episode season. The Gorburger Show is a web series…

A World Run By Cable Television Logic Is the Worst World

Funny or Die has tackled the insanity of cable television bundling — where you end up paying for a bunch of channels you never use — by showing us a whole world that uses the same principle. It’s a horrible, horrible world. Contact the author at [email protected].

If Only Windows 10 Actually Came With a New Everclear Album

People were SO MAD when Apple dropped a fresh load of free U2 into everyone’s iTunes; the merry band of middle-aged Irish men just aren’t cool anymore, man. When Microsoft unveiled Windows 10, they pulled in some real rock star power for a powerhouse album drop that cannot be denied. Welcome back, Everclear! I mean,…

The Silliest Way Apple Could Make an Unhackable iPhone 6

The iPhone 6 is coming out soon. People are already lined up. It’s a big deal. The only thing distracting from Apple’s Next Big Thing is Apple’s recent Big iCloud Nightmare. The real iPhone 6 will do a lot more than let you call your parents, and it will certainly have the iCloud. Still, this…

Sharklumbo Is the Detective We Didn’t Know We Needed

Funny Or Die’s contribution to the general shark madness that this week brings is Sharklumbo, which, they explain, “Is a shark and it’s also Peter Falk as Columbo.” You know what? The Asylum’s Sharknado 2: The Second One was similar overexplanation. Kevin Pollack’s Peter Falk impression makes this whole thing work. Also, this take on…

The New Reading Rainbow Opening Is Somewhat Disturbing

We’re as delighted as anyone that LeVar Burton has managed to resurrect the invaluable educational TV show Reading Rainbow through the power of Kickstarter. But the show’s new opening theme, which takes the original theme song to a logical but somewhat dark conclusion, leaves a little to be desired. That said, I’ll take Burton as…

Spoof Of Sofia Coppola’s Little Mermaid Is Spot-On, And That’s Scary

Funny or Die has made their version of Sofia Coppola’s Little Mermaid movie, which is very much a thing that is happening. And this spoof is so good we’re worried.

That Fake Hoverboard Was Just a Funny or Die Stunt

Funny or Die has finally admitted to being behind that confusing fake hoverboard video that went viral yesterday. And we’re still not quite sure why they made it. “If we inspired on person to get into the hover sciences, I consider that a victory,” Christopher Lloyd says to the camera. “Here’s to hoverboards being actually…

Michael Arndt is having serious trouble writing Star Wars: Episode VII

Penning the next movie in the massive Star Wars franchise would be daunting for any man, and that’s all screenwriter Michael Arndt is. A man, like any other. A man susceptible to studio pressure, fan expectations and writer’s block, as this video — made for the eventual Blu-ray extras — reveals. Still, don’t stress, Mr.…

Zach Quinto in “The Search for (Someone Who Gives a Crap about) Spock”
