Funny or Die!
It's not an ultimatum. No. It's the hilarious new online video site that some say could become the next YouTube. The site, which was started this spring by comedians Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, features a mix of user-generated content and videos made by the "pros."
Will Ferrell's "The Landlord" video, which I've posted below, is a must-see. Be forewarned, the site contains adult language. But it's used to good, no, scratch that, great effect.
According to Media Biz by Paul R. La Monica "The Landlord" was viewed nearly 13 million times in the first few days of its posting. The site includes several other riotous clips, including Jenna Elfman's "Mama Jams." According to La Monica, if traffic for the site keeps growing, Funny or Die could become the next big thing in Internet video sites.
Thanks to Nikki Corliss for pointing this out.

I have to agree that this is going to redefine how comedy is seen. Who comes up with having a little kid say the things to Will Ferrell that is in "The Landlord." It's remarkable.
Hopefully I'll be creative enough to have you watch some of my videos... soon!
By the way you're an amazing writer Michael, and it's been fun to experience your creativity!
Spencer - Thanks! I've enjoyed being in class with you. You've got the wit and personality to make it in broadcasting. Good luck in all your future endeavors!
