The team behind "Funny or Die" must really be into World Cup football. (Which, for the record, is awesome.)
In their latest video short, the website sends Christopher Mintz-Plasse - a.k.a. McLovin - of "Superbad" fame to Brazil to check out the action. This follows on the heels of another video that went viral that shows "Funny or Die" co-founder Will Ferrell giving a pep talk to the American crowd in Brazil the night before the USA-Portugal match up.
The comedy website, founded by long-time writing partners Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, is known for its original content and exclusive material from famous contributors like Judd Apatow and James Franco. While this latest effort was clearly sponsored by adidas as native advertising, it doesn't detract from the video. If anything, it's even funnier to see McLovin scouring the beaches of Brazil, looking for a piece of tail, all while wearing an official adidas jersey and purporting to be a "soccer expert." One of the best moments of the video comes when Mintz-Plasse can no longer contain himself and, in the middle of an "official" interview with Spanish midfielder Juan Mata, leaps up, grabs Mata by the shoulders and whispers in his ear, "Mata, where are the tatas?" It reminds us of the many hysterical moments in "Superbad" driven by McLovin's unfulfilled quest for a good time.
Take the 4 minutes to watch this video. We promise, if you're a fan of Ferrell and Apatow's brand of humor, you'll like this one as well.
