What’s the buzz on HBO comedies? Peeks at Funny or Die Presents, animated Ricky Gervais & more

HBO has a new look online, and that includes a home page for the upcoming series of sketches from Funny or Die called Funny or Die Presents, and along with it, a fresh "Buzz" video that offers insider looks at FoD Presents (Brett Gelman dancing in 1,000 Cats! Leo Allen with a snake! Will Ferrell in disguise!). That's not all, though. You also get behind-the-scenes with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington on animated their popular podcasts, a look at the second season of animated series The Life & Times of Tim (with Nick Kroll talking improv!), and previews of Bill Maher's latest stand-up special and season of Real Time. It all debuts Feb. 19.

  1. Thanks for this. Having consumed a couple of seasons of the Gervais podcast, it remains a point of contention between a friend and I, of how much Karl P’s blockheadedness is genuine and how much is put on top for the sake of the interaction/podcast.
