Founded in 2007, Funny Or Die (FOD) is a premier entertainment brand and independent studio that creates award-winning, premium comedy with today’s biggest stars and tomorrow’s freshest voices. With over 1000ish hours of original content spanning almost two decades, FOD lives at the nexus of comedy, pop culture, and politics. Our global audience reaches more than 50 million people across all our social platforms, and we are pioneers in branded content, creating and producing videos for many Fortune 500 companies including Walmart, Kroger, Lyft, H&R Block, HBO, and T-Mobile. Starting with the infamous viral video and dorm room staple THE LANDLORD, we have a long history of delivering award-winning and critically acclaimed laughs across all mediums. You’ve seen our hit digital series like BILLY ON THE STREET and BETWEEN TWO FERNS, plus TV shows like IFC’s BROCKMIRE and the Peabody Award-winning AMERICAN VANDAL on Netflix. Most recently, we’ve begun production on the second season of the hit late night show AFTER MIDNIGHT starring Taylor Tomlinson on CBS. This follows on the heels of WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC starring Daniel Radcliffe, which won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie. We’ve also created a number of original podcasts, including THE LAST DEGREE OF KEVIN BACON, BLESS THESE BRACES, and INSIDE THE FOD VAULT, and produced a variety of events ranging from live comedy shows for charity to HBO specials. And now we’re using our production expertise to open Posterized, a boutique, state of the art stage and post production facility in the heart of Hollywood. In 2021, Funny Or Die was acquired by the designer and activist Henry R. Muñoz III, becoming one of the only Latino-owned companies in entertainment. In purchasing FOD, Muñoz rededicated the company to an even stronger mission of inclusivity and activism, focusing on a broad range of content that’s Funny, Original and Diverse.
