“With these Funny or Die videos, I do everything for them. I write them, act in them, and co-direct them with my buddy Brian McGinn, who I grew up with. We also edit them together. We're working on a small scale of Internet videos, but we're slowly trying to make them become a bigger thing.” WritingTryingTogetherDiesGrewInternetGrew UpDirectBiggerScalesVideoBuddyEditsBrianFunny Or Die Author:Dave Franco
“I definitely want to start my own production company at some point. I'm actually teaming up with Funny or Die to put together a TV show right now, that I can't really talk about because it's still in the very preliminary stages, but if it pans out this will be the first project under my production company, which I have yet to name.” IfsWantFirstsStillsI CanShowsTogetherDiesNamesMy OwnCompanyStageTvsRight NowProjectsProductionsTv ShowsFunny Or DieTeaming Up Author:Dave Franco
“I wouldn't be where I am without these Funny or Die videos in general. When I was first starting out, I would take roles just to get the experience, but not exactly because I believed in the projects I was doing.” FirstsDiesRolesProjectsStartingVideoStarting OutFunny Or Die Author:Dave Franco
“What I realized with Funny or Die is that I could take it into my own hands. On a much smaller scale, I think these videos are an accurate representation of who I am. As weird as they may be, I'm at least proud of them, and it showed that I do have a slightly different voice. I can't tell you how often people bring up these videos in interviews, and I'm so happy to talk about them because we created them from the ground up.” PeopleThinkingMayI CanDifferentHandsDiesVoiceMy OwnProudI RealizedScalesWho I AmVideoInterviewsAccurateRepresentationDifferent VoicesFunny Or Die Author:Dave Franco
“A lot of times we associate Greenpeace and climate change and shrinking polar caps with heavy-handed, weighty material. It's somber stuff.

“I have my website, The Ruckus, which is an Internet site, similar to the Funny or Die format, where people post funny videos.

“Comedy Central wanted to do a show with me, I had a couple failures under my belt with them already, but they still wanted to try something else. They came to me and said they wanted to do something that was internet focused and created original content on their site, so they could compete with the funny or dies and what not. So that was the premise, and they gave us a small amount of money, $5000, and from there it turned into the show.” TryingSaidStillsShowsWantedDiesComedyAmountCoupleInternetOriginalsFocusedSiteBeltsPremisesSmall AmountsFunny Or Die Author:Daniel Tosh
