Funny or Die may be best known for its hilarious video shorts but the comedy site is hitting the iPad with a magazine featuring celebrity interviews, political commentary, movie reviews and other content. Yes, the new bi-monthly publication dubbed “The Occasional” also includes some video. The launch issue features an exclusive episode of Funny or Die series, "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis." 

Other contributors include Funny Or Die co-founder, Adam McKay, Tom Lennon, and Jon Daly. On board as the official sponsor of the premiere issue is Fiat. But it ain’t free—readers can buy a per-issue subscription for $1.99 or $9.99 for an annual subscription. Single issues are also available from the App Store for $3.99. But Funny or Die CEO Dick Glover assures, “It is funnier than hell for fans, users, readers and whomever else goes to the App Store.” If not, it will die.
