What Parents Need to Know

About FunnyorDie

Parents need to know that users on this video site are supposed to "certify" that they're 18 years old -- with good reason. There are thousands of short videos by well-known comedians like Will Ferrell as well as by aspiring comedians that other users vote and comment on. Some of the videos and many of the posts about the videos contain a lot of adult-only subjects, mean-spiritedness, and stand-up comedy-style sarcasm. Except for divining content by the videos' titles, there's no way to tell just how tame or racy each video is until you hit play.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what's so appealing about homemade videos. If your kids post videos, you might ask them what message they're trying to convey. How do they think people will react? What makes something funny? Does it have to include sex? Humiliation? Insults? What's the difference between "clean" comedy and "adult" comedy?
