Inside The Funny Or Die Vault
One part comedy deconstruction, one part career retrospective, and one part nostalgia trip through the first wave of internet comedy. Our guests pick a video from FOD’s storied history as a jumping off point to talk about all the ways the comedy landscape has changed since the days when TikTok was just a Kesha song. Host Marcos Gonzalez leads guests through their career trajectories and how their work was influenced by the best (and worst) the internet has had to offer. Gonzalez returns to FOD as our host, after interning at FOD a decade ago at the start of his own comedy career, which more recently included a stint as a writer/actor on the critically acclaimed series, Jury Duty.
Bless These Braces
Writer and comedian Tam Yajia mines her own past and dives deep into the awkward teenage years of her guests to explore the coming of age ceremonies that are supposed to mark our transformation into adults. From first kisses to first periods, reading the Torah in front of the congregation to writing AOL away messages alone in your room, Tam and her hilarious guests leave no stone unturned in their exploration of the most awkward (and meaningful) years of our lives.
