The Justin Bieber Funny or Die Skit is now one of the most [entertaining videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club) on the popular website. In this episode called 'Bieber Takes Over,' the tween icon jokes that he has bought Funny or Die and goes on to say,"I do what stars do -- I ride around on yachts, I autograph lady lumps and I pay people to slap them." That seems like [accurate celebrity behavior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comedy-collaboration) to me.

I know that Bieber gets a lot of flack for being packaged and oh-so-very young, but the Justin Bieber Funny or Die Skit is enough to have even [serious haters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler) humming some of his tunes.
