StupidVideos.com Adds Sony, KOCH, Image Entertainment, and Big Vision
- StupidVideos.com expands its comedy channel to include stars, from Richard Pryor to Ron White -
El Segundo, CA, September 13, 2006 – StupidVideos.com, the leading video site for humorous stunts, bloopers, stand-up comedy, and everyday laughter, announced today that it has finalized promotional agreements with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, KOCH Vision, Image Entertainment, and Big Vision. In an effort to further bolster its burgeoning stand-up comedy channel, StupidVideos has added footage of some of the greatest comics in entertainment history to its library.
Video clips from legends like Jay Leno and Richard Pryor, as well as other well-known comedians such as Margaret Cho, Kevin Nealon, Ron White, Jeff Foxworthy, and many more will become available on StupidVideos.com this fall. Each clip will include a link to buy the complete DVD performance from the respective distributor.
The consumption of video online has become a mainstream activity for tens of millions of Internet users and according to a study by the Online Publishers Association, 58% are seeking humorous video clips.
â€Adding content from comic greats, like Richard Pryor, attests to our commitment of being the premiere destination for laughs,†said Erik Hawkins, CEO of PureVideo Networks, the company that owns and operates StupidVideos.com. “It is gratifying to present the forefathers of stand-up to our young audience, as well as provide a platform for amateur comics to be seen by the world.â€
From Terell Battle, a comic who has booked work through StupidVideos.com: “Unlike sites like YouTube where your clips get lost in a sea of others, on StupidVideos, you actually get a chance to be seen. I have had over 75,000 views on the site and use it regularly to book gigs.â€
Other initiatives by StupidVideos to support stand-up comedy include a partnership with H2F Productions, the company that represents Josh Blue, this year’s Last Comic Standing. StupidVideos and H2F have produced a series of live stand-up events, which have included acts such as Jeff Garcia, named one of Variety’s Top 10 Comedians to Watch, as well as the voice of Pip in Nickelodeon’s summer blockbuster, The Barnyard.
