The Landlord

Chris Albrecht, June 2, 2008 — 1 comment

As the web sensation that kick-started Funny or Die, The Landlord , in which Will Ferrell faces the verbal wrath of his surly, drunk, three-year-old landlord Pearl, went on to rack up more than 56 million plays. The duo went on to star in Good Cop, Baby Cop, which didn’t do nearly as well. Pearl went into retirement after Baby Cop, but did make an appearance in the Funny or Die one-year anniversary video. Funny or Die has been accused of relying too heavily on Will Ferrell for its traffic, but the site has become the go-to place for celebrities to do viral videos that help promote upcoming projects.
