MUMBAI: Funny or Die, a comedy website, has partnered with YouTube to launch a 'Funny or Die' branded You Tube channel.

"We are very excited to distribute a sub set of our videos through YouTube. As one of the premiere names in comedy, it seemed like the right time to launch a Funny or Die branded channel," said Funny or Die CEO Dick Glover.

Said YouTube strategic partner development George Strompolos, "Funny or Die brings a welcome blend of comedy, celebrity and web originals to YouTube,"

Under the partnership, all Funny or Die-produced videos will continue to premiere on www.funnyordie.com. Following an exclusive window on funnyordie.com, the videos will then appear globally in Funny or Die's YouTube channel for a limited time.
