Its likely that Rob Huebel has made you laugh at some point in your life.

Based on his series ofFunny Or Die shorts, Huebels Do You Want To See A Dead Body?

DEN OF GEEK: Youve got an interesting history with this concept.

ROB HUEBEL:So we originally did these as some shorts for Funny Or Die.

It was one of those things where they just always made us laugh.

I had so much fun shooting them and we got people like Ben Stiller and Deepak Chopra in them.

It kind of took on this weird life of its own.

Sometimes youll do stuff in comedy that just fades away, but this would literally just not die.

People would always tweet to me about it.

At live comedy shows people would ask me if I wanted to see a dead body.

We went to talk to YouTube Red about it and it was just perfect timing.

Its not like normal TV where you have to worry about creative restrictions or commercials.

They just got the idea from the start and were really into it.

They had a bunch of funny takes on it too, so it felt like a good partnership.

So as a result we got to make this very insane, fucked up show.

Its a very simple premiseI take a famous person to go see a dead body.

Sometimes they want to go, sometimes they dont.

Its about the fucked up adventures that my guest and I get into along the way.

Sometimes stuff gets so messed up that we cant even find the dead body.

Well originally we had some kind of overarching structure that we did want to put in place.

We had some ideas that we ended up throwing away.

Anything can happen and there are no real rules.

It helps optimize the jokes and comedy.

We wrote it that way on purpose because who cares?

I love that about it; that youre just sort of this beacon for corpses.

I really like that you also ostensibly make yourself the villain of your own show.

Is it fun to portray yourself in that exaggerated light?

Yeah, I think so, and I think youre right.

I always have a different job.

Sometimes Im an actor.

Other times Im a sound guy.

My roommate is Morgan Freeman and I live in his pool house.

All of the episodes are scripted and fully written.

We wrote all of these episodes with fellow friends who are all comedy superstars in their own rights.

Originally that was my thought.

Ill say this, I love scary stuff and getting scared, but this is not that.

This is all comedy.

Its not like I killed these people.

Its just that weird Stand By Me dynamic.

I am very curious about death and dead bodies though.

Theres a lot of that in this.

Alexandra Daddario is in another one and goes through a similar breakneck transformation.

How could they think youre capable of arranging such a thing!

Yeah, that came up a few times!

They might be dumb people.

Whod be in control there?

Oh wow, hmmm.

Thats interesting because from shooting this you do get a sense of how people would really react.

We do treat it like its a real dead body and we do want people to react to it.

So theres a little bit of insight into reality there.
