“The reception from the international market has been outstanding with every one of our licensees signed on for both seasons,” said Bob Kennedy, Senior Vice President of Sales and Acquisitions for dick clark productions International. “Clearing 85% of the global market has been an amazing feat, which is a true testament to the appeal of the hilarious FailArmy videos curated from around the world.”

FailArmy is an irreverent unscripted, comedy-filled half hour series featuring the world’s best HD blooper-style fail videos. Each episode contains an average of 60 clips. No host, FailArmy is voice over based with hysterically funny videos from around the world. Produced by dick clark productions International and Jukin Media, the creators of the largest fail channel in the world, with over 8.5 million subscribers and 2 billion video views, the series features outrageous episodes of user-generated funny mishaps that are “caught on tape.” Just about anything imaginable, that doesn’t result in flawless success, is fair game on FailArmy.
