FoD: Don Cheadle is Captain Planet

This video featuring Don Cheadle as Captain Planet quickly went viral and after hitting play you’ll no longer wonder why. What starts out as a pleasant message for kids telling them to combat pollution by preserving trees suddenly morphs into a full-scale killing spree. One of the Planeteers doesn’t make it. Yeah, it gets that dark.

FOD: Jewel goes undercover at a local karaoke bar

Funny or Die approached artist Jewel and asked her if she’d like to have a hand in their latest prank.  Like a good sport she said yes.  Here’s the setup: Jewel gets disguised as a mild mannered businesswoman and gets encouraged to sing some of her most popular tunes at a local karaoke bar.  Her audience is dumbfounded by this amazing voice coming out of a Plain Jane.  Not a single person realizes that behind all the prosthetics is the actual Jewel.  After some time Karen (Jewel’s alter-ego) leaves the stage and Jewel comes back as herself to perform more songs.  To our amazement most of the bar hoppers still don’t realize this is Karen and make the connection.  Watch it all go down in the video above.

Funny or Die becomes Bieber or Die; what has the world come to?

Apparently The Bieb has taken over Funny or Die.  Not only has the site been renamed Bieber or Die; it has been decorated with all things Bieber and all the featured videos include Justin Bieber.  As much as I can’t stand the #1 Twitter trending topic for one-plus years, some of the videos here made me chuckle.  Notables include: Bieber After the Dentist and Just Bieber Screensaver.  Good thing it’s just a April Fools gag.  Well it is…right!?
