Sħãlïq™ Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Didn't wanna start another thread about his latest offseason gig, so: Blake Griffin takes a lockout-inspired intern gig at FunnyOrDie.com http://l.yimg.com/a/p/sp/editorial_image/7c/7ced78efa165654923a3ae98339efa76/blake_griffin_takes_a_lockoutinspired_intern_gig_at_funnyordiecom.jpg The NBA lockout could roll on for another 13 or 14 months, at this rate, so 2010-11 Rookie of the Year Blake Griffin(notes) has decided to use his time wisely, if on a pro bono scale. The Clippers forward is working as an intern at FunnyOrDie.com.Look -- he's even tucking his shirt in. That's a kid with promise.With the backing of actor Will Ferrell and writer/director Adam McKay, FunnyOrDie.com started up nearly five years ago to widespread acclaim. Featuring the infamous "The Landlord" clip (boasting McKay's daughter giving a profane, drunken harangue to a beleaguered tenant character played by Ferrell) right out of the gate helped, but the quality of product and the intelligent vote it up/let it die judging setup turned the site into an all-timer.Griffin was born in 1989, so the All-Star has lived half his life in a world where Flash technology makes it so ha-ha videos were just a few clicks away. A site like FunnyOrDie.com is right in his generation's wheelhouse, and an internship with the comedy collective is right in Griffin's alley. The man knows all about alleys, and wheelhouses, and he's proven again and again that his dry sense of humor and comedic timing are miles removed from most of his hoops peers.http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Blake-Griffin-takes-a-lockout-inspired-intern-gi?urn=nba-wp7746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
