Funny or Die have decided to weigh in on the Manti Te’o fiasco, in their own hilarious way and have been presenting videos of the Notre Dame linebacker. Beginning with an eHarmony ad and now a parody of the catfish trailer.

The Notre Dame linebacker hit the news earlier this week when it was revealed that his late girlfriend never existed, with Te’o claiming he was a victim of an elaborate hoax.

Now, Funny or Die has uploaded a video with Te'o (Eugene Cordero) gushing about his relationship with Lennay Kekua, reports Digital Spy.

“I hate fake people. They’re just so…it’s like they’re not there when you’re talking to them. But it’s different with Lennay,” says Eugene Cordero portraying Te’o, as the camera cuts to a two shot of him and an empty seat on the couch, according to EW.com.

Navy beats Notre Dame in the ‘Battle of the Mascots’ - Fighting Irish Leprechauns and Bill The Goat square off - VIDEO

University of Notre Dame Leprechaun

Fighting Irish Leprechauns and Bill The Goat square off before the big game in Ireland

A cute video has surfaced on the USNA Alumni Association and Foundation Youtube channel of an assembly of devious Notre Dame Leprechauns who attempt to stop Navy’s Bill the Goat from delivering the special game ball in a special green army sack marked “Ireland or bust” to the emerald isle for this weekend’s much hyped Notre Dame and Navy match up.

The leprechauns’ wicked trap consisting of a handmade “Welcome to Ireland” sign tricks Bill into believing he has prematurely reached the Ireland. They then deviously steal the golden ball from the beleaguered hairy goat and as per tradition stash it in a pot of gold. Forgetting never to mess with a person (or animal) in this case in the armed forces, Bill finds the not so well hidden ball, retrieves it, and shrugs off the leprechauns who try and tackle him in vain. The Navy mascot prevails over the leprechauns as the Navy Midshipmen hope to do against Notre Dame Ireland on Saturday.

It is ironic that Notre Dame in search of an animal mascot before adopting its current fighting Irishman in 1965 considered using a goat. Notre Dame could have possibly been the “Fighting Goats” and given Bill the Goat a fair fight.
