Funny or Die Paris Hilton Makes Political Commercial
Funny or Die has become a valuable comedic resource in the last several years. Will Ferrell used Funny or Die for his famous "Landlord" viral comedy bits, Judd Apatow often uses Funny or Die for promotional comedy sketches for his movies, and other comedy fans and comedians have used Funny or Die for various reasons. But not many people would expect Paris Hilton to find a use for the Funny or Die website. That is, until John McCain's now famous ad linking Barack Obama's type of celebrity to Paris Hilton came out, casing Paris Hilton to fight back using the Funny or Die site. The Paris Hilton commercial on Funny or Die begins by turning McCain's ad around in asking if McCain is "ready to lead" calling McCain "like, super old." The usual "McCain is super old" jokes link him to Larry King, Yoda, Colonial Sanders and other old figures before Paris Hilton herself comes on.
