Universal have sent us links to some of viral sites that tie in with FUNNY PEOPLE, the new movie from Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen opening next month.
The campaign is similar to what we saw previously in ‘Tropic Thunder’, with a number of fake sites, fake posters and viral videos set-up for characters appearing in the movie. Below are some of the highlights.

 

 

 

1/ Yo Teach!

Yo Teach! is a fake TV show starring Jason Schwartzman’s character Mark Taylor Jackson.

NBC have set up a fake site for the show on their actual homepage http://www.nbc.com/yo-teach/ which has been so successful it’s sparked internet conversations that it might actually be a real show.

Below is some footage from the fake show, press play to view.
