US comedy website Funny or Die has surpassed 5 million Twitter followers, marking the occasion with a spoof video from co-creator and Anchorman star Will Ferrell.
The comedy website was started in 2006 by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, and works as a web alternative to the likes of popular TV show Saturday Night Live.
Funny Or Die combines user-generated content with original, exclusive content. The site is a place where celebrities, established and up-and-coming comedians and regular users can all put up stuff they think is funny.
The site has attracted stars like Michael Cera, Jim Carrey, Mike Tyson and Zach Galifianakis to create comedy videos and also spawned an HBO television spinoff.
The site encourages viewer feedback by letting them vote on what videos are funny and what videos deserve to die.
To celebrate passing the Twitter milestone, Funny or Die has drafted in Will Ferrrell himself to talk social media and explain the whole Twitter process in his own inimitable style.
