I love the idea of April Fool’s Day, but I’m almost never impressed with the pranks that people come up with. It’s really become a day where people show off how lame their sense of humor is. Since this is my fourth April Fool’s Day doing this and I still don’t have the heart to play a trick on hopeful job seekers, we’re going to do what we’ve done for the past three years–look at companies with good senses of humor. Last year we covered Second City (and at least one reader landed a job there). The year before it was CollegeHumor. And the year before that we took a look at Motley Fool (check out this job that their recruiter sent me this morning). We’ve also covered jobs at The Onion, but that wasn’t for April Fool’s Day. This year it’s all about Funny or Die, the “rapidly growing celebrity-anchored video website” based in San Mateo, CA. I guess this is what you get when you combine “a bunch of Silicon Valley dudes and ladies” with funny guys Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow, Adam McKay, and Chris Henchy.
Funny or Die has a pretty decent April Fool going on right now: Rebecca Black has taken over the entire site. I’m just glad to see that she’s finally getting the recognition that she deserves. I remember the first Funny or Die video that I ever saw. It’s “The Landlord” with Will Ferrell. I have to admit that I didn’t love it, but maybe you will (e-mail readers click through to see the video).
If this video has you in hysterics, then Funny or Die might be the right place for you to start your career. Their Jobs page is kind of a semi-permanent April Fool’s Day gag since they don’t provide any listings or a contact e-mail address, but that shouldn’t discourage you. They mention 50 employees and offices in Hollywood, Palo Alto, and New York, so there have to be some options–maybe in areas like video, production, editorial, advertising, sales, and marketing. You can browse LinkedIn to get a better feel for how their ad-supported business works.
