Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis is Just a Joke

Zach Galifianakis has interviewed his fair share of celebrities on his mock talk show 'Between Two Ferns', including President Barack Obama and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and by now most guests on the show understand what they're getting into, but Zach still wants to make sure that they're in on the joke.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

If the gum part with Brad Pitt was improvised then that’s hands down the funniest thing I’ve seen on the show 😂😂

[@cierrablue]

I had forgotten what happened so I went back and rewatched it. Hilarious bit!

[@AttilatheThrilla]

T Clark Lmao... Did you not just watch this interview??

[@iceinmyear]

that shit was so funny 😂😂😂

[@BlueFinch]

That shows how scripted it is. When Brad spits the gum, it doesn’t hit Zach, but the next shot has the gum on Zach’s eye.

[@helioszxc]

and you are dumb enough to believe evrything you hear? you are sucha fucking sheep.you cant fathom how manipulative media is. you need to wake the fuck up.there is literally no improvisation nowadays.everything is scrypted

[@TheTruthKiwi]

Wow, didn't realise Zach could turn off his weirdness. That's cool

[@lucaskk1212]

The Truth perfect commentary because that was exactly my doubt

[@strictnine5684]

lol y'all think he's weird?

[@Cyba_IT]

Maybe he's just acting "normal"

[@hayberdasher8625]

Yeah he's an actual real person

[@lucaskk1212]

Amse Master lol I know but it doesn’t mean he’s a person he can’t be awkward

[@Iowamutt]

It's weird but cool to see Zach acting like a normal guy. It's kind of rare because even when he does late night talk shows he is usually in character.

[@PascalsWager5]

I find it almost unbelievable that the Charlize Theron episode was improvised...

[@demers6178]

PascalsWager5 right! She should be an actor

[@spiegel3269]

I was thinking of that one too. No way. Maybe parts but not all of it.

[@aguasanta]

There's parts of the show where she's not acting and other parts where she's aware that the show is a joke.

[@themelt1657]

Israel Aguasanta news flash, they all know it’s a joke.

[@interdimensionalsteve8172]

@PietreADI wishful thinking doesn't make you right

[@dgretlein]

Zach is probably the funniest guy I’ve ever seen. It’s all in fun people, and just words.......so, so, funny - especially to Obama “how does it feel to be the last black president?” ....👍 He had his opportunity to really try and unite more of us Great Americans!

[@bananastand-2241]

Ever since I saw Live at the Purple Onion I knew there was something amazing about Zach Galifianakis. One of my favorite comedians/ actors of all time. His timing and delivery is incredible.

[@blasalvice]

Wait does this mean the one with Steve Carrell was improvised too...? That's crazy

[@ToomanyFrancis]

*Carell

[@TRJ2241987]

Steve Carell literally used to teach improv.....that's how he met his wife

[@TRJ2241987]

[@falconater68]

@@TRJ2241987 Is their anyway to take "used to teach improve" other than literal? Duh. God that word sucks.

The Brad Pitt episode was the funniest interview I’ve ever seen. And the one with Jennifer Aniston and that other girl was really good too.

[@ihavegreatcomments8532]

”And that other girl too” jeez, have u seen will farrel on it? Best one hands down

[@ajr2641]

I watched the Pitt interview the other day and it had been a couple of years since I'd seen it. I was in tears. I forgot how fucking hilarious it is. It just builds to this crescendo of hilarity. Amazing.

[@TheRealNabil]

Fookin Weasel Yeah it’s no doubt the best one and that part with Ross and Rachel and the whole Friends thing had me in tears. Along with that gum part which I heard was improvised.

[@elmobrother]

Charlize The Ron?

[@kgc661]

We NEED Ryan Reynolds on Between Two Ferns!!!!!

[@RandyDaDon]

Brooooooooo 🔥

[@iSeeEZEkill]

I posted a comment on one of the newer episodes saying the same.

[@zowbaid89]

It was just be too predictably ridiculous. I don’t think Ryan ever turn of his humor. I think he wouldn’t even be capable of delivering a proper eulogy at his dad’s funeral without looking at his face and not expecting a joke.

[@TaterChip91]

Oh fuck yes 👏

[@scotthaynes5240]

Zach beating Justin Beiber had me on the floor laughing...

[@kimberlyepps3730]

Between Two Ferns always made me laugh because it’s soo cheeky 😂

[@SimplyGimpy]

I'm so numbed out by viral comedy clips, that Zack just kinda snapped by brain into focus, just by not putting up his usual persona and being a bit more real. Kudos to Zachy G, and I'm glad he found success in his life, and not just career.

[@RandysGutt]

You literally make no sense

[@rickyrichreacts9667]

DAMN IT. Now I have to go back and re-watch every episode of that show.. Thanks alot, Zach. 😂

[@deezye636]

This is the closest to Authentic Zach we’ve ever been

[@MarcoLongoMusic]

DeezyE you should watch his episode of Comedians in cars getting coffee. It's pretty interesting

[@jimmydean2311]

[@Marie-tf8ug]

Im so glad he explains the show. I always thought the Celebs knew the questions ahead of time and they both were just acting uncomfortably. I’ll have to start watching the show again knowing all this.

I'm gonna take a "wild" guess that it was Bruce Willis who wanted to edit his piece?

[@mixedboi]

I thought it would've been Sean Penn.

[@JamesMinerTattoo]

guessing Penn, but really want to know who it was

[@dlxmarks]

I would not guess it was Willis. He was really cool with the multiple Ashton jokes and almost laughed about the Blockbuster Entertainment award. He also showed a lot more enthusiasm than most guests when he did his riff on life in the 80's. For Penn, however, Nick felt the need to adopt the less threatening alter ego of Seth.

[@AdamPaulStone]

@@dlxmarks Sean Penn and Zach are friends actually. Sean casted/ directed Zach in the film Into The Wild.

One thing I've always wondered, that I wish he would have asked, is how long the interviews actually are versus the 3-5 minute edited versions.

[@byronp2311]

Back, oh, decades ago, I got a call from my guitarist who said, take off work today. We're gonna be on TV! Well, ok. Access TV. Local cable. Since we couldn't have the whole band at that time, it was just me on bass and Davy on guitar. Unplugged before anyone thought about doing it. But what I remember most is that we were literally between two ferns. That amused me then and so this show with Zack seems positively odd.

[@JonnyBriers]

Loved the movie! So silly and fun
