Fusion wants to bring some laughs to the online video masses. The media company partnered with YouTube animation McN Mondo Media for a new animated sketch series called Like, Share, Die. Like, Share, Die’s 20 episodes will be roughly 15 minutes in length, and will use sketches from Mondo’s network of creators as well as from lead writer Josh Faure-Brac (of SuperNews! fame). The show will be executive produced by Mondo’s Aaron Simpson in conjunction with Six Point Harness Studios. Fusion tapped Mondo for its wide viewer reach and ability to develop content that gets picked up by other media companies. In addition to boasting a huge subscriber base (over 2.4 million on its YouTube channel), the McN saw its popular Happy Tree Friends adapted into a TV series for G4 and MTV’s channels.

In September 2013, Mondo Media distributed a film based on Dick Figures, one of its most popular animated series. The movie was a big success. Mondo released the film across 12 installments, which combined to draw more than 14 million views on YouTube. Encouraged by the success of that film, Mondo is now working on three new films. It will produce a sequel to Dick Figures: The Movie as well as new films based off two of its other hit series: Happy Tree Friends and Deep Space 69. In order to help realize these projects, Mondo has enlisted the help of Bill Schultz, an animation executive who produced several seasons of The Simpsons. Dick Figures: The Movie was funded via a Kickstarter campaign, but Mondo is pledging "bigger budgets and theatrical production values" to the three new features. Those budgets will include large marketing campaigns that will promote each film in advance of their respective release dates.

The Ufc's Ultimate Fighter (Tuf) reality TV series returned to our screens last Friday night, but arrived with a twist -- as well as the fastest knockout in its history, at just eight seconds. While the show carried the same format and dangled the same prize at the end of it all, the action was, for the first time, live and pretty much uninterrupted and the season will, in time, be far more interactive than ever before, offering fight fans the opportunity to participate and dictate the fates of those inside the house.
A runaway success since its inception in 2005, this latest tweaking should ensure it remains as such, following the odd hit-and-miss season of late. With change comes a period for reflection, however, and now seems as good a time as any to remember and highlight some of the show's very best success stories, if only to provide inspiration...
