Funny Or Die: will.i.am ft Apl.de.ap and Liane V - "GRAB'm By The PU$$Y"


You'll recall that when Donald Trump's now infamous "grab 'em by the pussy" hot-mic video appeared, many of his surrogates tried to blame his language on rap music.

Cue rapper will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas  and Funny Or Die to bring his rap version of "Donald T Rump" to life.

"When I'm president I won't be like Obama / If anyone talks shit about me, I'll bomb 'em / I'm grabbin' that pussy like there's no tomorrow / And if we have problems with Russia, I'll bomb 'em," will.i.am rapped wearing a blond Trump wig.

Singer Liane V. steps in for Democrat Hillary Clinton, and just like Hillary, she trumps Trump's lowdown by going high:

"I'm a woman and I'm strong / And don't you forget it / Because I am intelligent / I'm somebody's daughter / I'm somebody's boss / I could be the next president / So give me the respect now!"

Throughout, will.i.am beats his chest with, “I’m a star ’cause I made it / I’m rich and I’m famous / Donald Trump said to grab you by the p—– / Donald Trump said to grab you by the p—–.”

It's not all funny parody though. Don't miss will.i.am's very serious message at the end of the video. "This is not a circus, a TV show or a movie. This is real life with real life problems. We need a leader that not only will lead America but will help heal the world," he said, adding "When you vote, please vote for the candidate that can do that, and it's obvious - it's Hillary."

Parody: Funny Or Die's Take On "Donald Trump's THE ART OF THE DEAL: The Movie"


Funny Or Die has produced a full-on parody movie of Donald Trump's book, The Art of the Deal starring Johnny Depp as the Trumpster.

Via press release:

In 1988 Donald Trump wrote, directed, and starred in a made-for-TV movie based on his bestselling book 'The Art of the Deal.' When the film was bumped because Monday Night Football ran long, the furious Trump pulled the movie, obscuring it from the general public for decades. Now Funny Or Die has unearthed this delightfully dated masterpiece for the world to see.

The movie stars Johnny Depp as Donald Trump, Patton Oswalt as Merv Griffin, Henry Winkler as Mayor Ed Koch, Michaela Watkins as Ivana Trump, and also features Alfred Molina, Andy Richter, Jack McBrayer, Robert Morse, Jacob Tremblay, Ron Funches, Stephen Merchant, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Jason Mantzoukas, Kristen Schaal, and ALF. Kenny Loggins, '80s soundtrack virtuoso, performs the film's original theme song. The movie was directed by Jeremy Konner (Drunk History) and written by Joe Randazzo (The Onion, @midnight), with an intro from Ron Howard.

Check out the trailer below, and watch the full flick here.

Funny Or Die: Colton Haynes On Male Model Inequality


Beautiful do-gooders Colton Haynes (Arrow) & Cody Horn (Magic Mike) are taking a stand against a serious injustice occurring in today's workplace.

Says Colton in this Funny Or Die clip:

“I thought these cheekbones were gonna take me all the way! But in July, Fortune magazine published an article that said that the highest paid female model earns 95 percent more than the highest paid male model! Men earning less than women but doing the same work? How long has this been going on? Do other male models know about this?”

Not sure how funny this is, but it's always nice to take a break and look at Colton's handsome face.

Parody: "Clerks And Recreation"


So, I guess it's just a "Funny Sunday" kind of day.

A second video skewering Ms. Kim Davis of Kentucky demands to be posted.

This one from Funny Or Die, which splices scenes from NBC's Parks and Recreation with actual footage of the Kentucky County bigot clerk refusing to issue a same-sex couple their marriage license.

Here I give you Clerks and Recreation.

As Nick Offerman's "Ron Swanson" ruminates, "She's a grade A bitch. Every time she laughs, an angel dies."

Funny.

Is this funny?

Zach Galifianakis interviews President Obama on "Between Two Ferns"


President Obama sat down with Zach Galifianakis on his Funny or Die web interview series "Between Two Ferns" to discuss signing up for the Affordable Care Act.

"Between Two Ferns" is one of the funniest and most successful ongoing video series on the internet. Each video averages approximately 6 million views.

In the video, Zach takes the interview a tad off-track as he brings up questions regarding sending Ambassador Rodman to North Korea,  Obama erecting his presidential library in Kenya, letting his son play football, who he rooted for in the Sochi Winter Olympics, and whether he'll outlaw same-sex divorce. That was just the beginning of the barbs traded between Obama and Galifianakis.

Best line by President Obama: "I've seen episodes of this show before and some of those episodes have been a little bit better than this. For example, that one with Bradley Cooper? That was a great show."



UPDATE: Within hours, the video has garnered over 5.4 million views and is reportedly the biggest driver of traffic to HealthCare.gov.

From The Hill:

White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House wasn't concerned that the comedy routine might have undermined the dignity of the office of the president.

"We obviously assess opportunities that we have and, you know, look at whether or not they're going to be successful and wise," Carney said. "And I think we made the right call here."

Carney also said that Funny or Die, the website that hosts the faux-public access show “Between Two Ferns” featuring the "Hangover" star, was the No. 1 referral source to HealthCare.gov on Tuesday morning.

"The video itself was causing the action that we'd hoped it would cause, which is getting folks to go to HealthCare.gov and look at the options available to them and hopefully enroll," Carney said.

Billy Eichner's "Billy On The Street" is back


Got to admit this is funny.  There's something very "Pee Wee Herman" about this.

The New York Times wrote about Billy Eichner's "Billy On The Street:"

An oddly addictive comedy act wrapped in a game show, “Billy on the Street” takes place entirely outside and features a series of games like “Quizzed in the Face” and “Actress Potato Head.” Winners earn small amounts of cash or worse, an onerous prize, like computer paper. (The rapper Nas, a celebrity guest, won a bird cage, which he did not seem pleased about.) The heart of the show is the spectacle of the tall, gangly Mr. Eichner erupting in disappointed rage (“It’s Kat Dennings, you moron!”) or sharing a strange exchange with a passer-by.

“No one can do what he does,” said Joan Rivers, an early champion. “The only comparison is the first season of Ali G.” She added that a difference is that Mr. Eichner mixes sweetness with his insanity. “If you yell at an old lady for not knowing who Debra Messing is, no one gets hurt. She can still go shopping.”

Christmas carols on the street with Amy Poehler & Billy Eichner


Billy Eichner from "Funny or Die's Billy on the Street" premieres the new video he made with Amy Poehler, where they bombard pedestrians with Christmas carols.  Maybe the most confrontational carolers EVER.

It gets funnier and funnier the more Billy dismisses people.

Funny or Die: The First Gay Bachelor

From the minds of Funny Or Die comes a new spoof starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson as ABC's first gay bachelor on the hunt to find a husband.

However, the script is flipped on Ferguson when he realizes the contestants have more interest in each other rather than him. Oh, the bitter sting of love lost and watching him propose to another guy.

Funny. This is probably exactly what it would be like....

Funny or Die: "Downton Diddy"



I LOVE Downton Abbey. I watched one episode and then lost that weekend watching every episode in a marathon.

The show recently announced the addition of it's first black character. But P Diddy has proof he's been there the whole series.

As I hit play, I wasn't too sure about this new Funny or Die video, but it's really well done and made me laugh.

Diddy teased the video with this tweet:

James Franco & Zach Galifianakis - "Between Two Ferns"


Strange kind of "talk show" that transforms into a music video celebrating straight spring break madness and James Franco marrying several men...

I think you just have to take a look.

New Music: Richard Marx's "Soundtrack for Self-Pleasure"


From Funny Or Die: "Romantic singer/songwriter Richard Marx puts a twist on some of his biggest hits with his new album Richard Marx's Soundtrack for Self-Pleasure."

I love that Richard Marx has such a great sense of humor. He handles this bit perfectly.

(no pun intended...)

Funny or Die: Ryan Lochte on peeing in the pool


Just to clear before all the comments start - he's joking, folks...

Pretty good with the deadpan humor, I think.

And he's easy to look at :)
