In order to have a successful website in this day and age, it is important to be unique. It is important to have your material be completely different and new compared to what everyone else has to offer. If your material is not necessarily new, than the site should at least have options that is predominately unheard of with other websites. This is exactly what funnyordie.com accomplishes.
Funnyordie.com is a comedy based website developed and produced by two comedic masterminds. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have been working together for the last decade producing films together such as "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" and "Anchorman". The two have also appeared numerous times on the extremely popular television show "Saturday Night Live" also known as SNL. After working together for for such a long period of time they decided they wanted to create their own comedy website. However, they wanted their site to be something people had yet to see, for it to stand out away from any other comedy site. They did this by offering options that was very rare to see at the time. For instance, as soon as you entire funnyordie.com one of the first things that the viewer will see is the option to like the site on facebook, or to share it on twitter. The viewer is also able to access tumblr instantly as well.
Right away three of the biggest social media networks are available to the viewer. This is definitely a necessity in today's world where facebook is by far the most visited website on the Internet.

Cleverly the "sign up" and "log in" options are conveniently placed next to these facebook and twitter links. Also, one will notice that the site is not contaminated by pesky advertisements or pop-ups. The main thing you will see when visiting is hilarious videos over numerous topics along with links to take you to any videos you may have missed in the past couple of days. You may have missed these videos because funnyordie.com is constantly updating, adding new material to their home page.
Another factor that separates this site from others is any individual who wants to can post on this site. Just as Youtube allows for any member of the site to post videos so does funnyordie. In fact, one of the sites original main purposes was to have an easy way for young talents to expose their work to producers viewing the site. An early objective that Will and Adam had was for a team of producers to monitor the site continually, always looking for new talent as far as writers, actors, and directors. This factor has to be very appealing to anyone who has even the smallest amount of interest in one day pursuing a career involved in this industry. When exploring the site one would see that there are many famous actors in some of these movies and pictures, but also that there are many people that the average person would have never heard of. A large portion of these movies and pictures are from average people who created something worth being on funnyordie.com.
