Zach Galifianakis: “Who’s the Boss Now?” - Full Special

[@Harrylymon]

I remember as a 13yr old taping this special. I had seen it before and got the heads up from CC that it was going to be on. I watched this one stand up piece of his over and over, thinking I might never see him perform anywhere else. So glad he caught on and now get to enjoy his humor everywhere. You go girl.

[@sbrons1]

Same. Taped this on VCR. Lol

[@itsmusicandco]

wait, are you still a girl?

[@hellosweetheart3350]

He did one similar for SNL recently and you also would like "tiny hands with Zach and Jimmy Fallon" hilarious!!!

[@user-be6jf2pq4l]

That cackle throughout this entire video literally added a good texture on Zach's stand up 😂

[@cmb6087]

Every single thing he says is hilarious. I've loved this guy for years!

[@seanosmond185]

I remember watching this when it came out and it still holds up. I also realized how much of this special i quote on a regular basis 22 years later still.

[@hydrodwarf]

Zach delivers a comic technique that's so unique

[@ZootSuitNewt]

Nice poem.

[@micahhawkins8233]

This is what genius looks like. He has always been like this and the crowd loves him for a reason.

[@ThePeoplesMachamp]

One of my favorite CCPs ever. So glad this is on here now. It's unreal how much I still say quotes from this special. I exclusively say "I'll take it!" like he does every time.

[@SDXStudio]

SAME! I still to this day, 20 years later, like to sing Eternal Flame while doing that little dance. I'm honestly shocked how much of it I still remembered.

[@Petey0707]

It is nuts how I remember this entire set, think of the jokes for years and years, and now seeing it again realizing how surreal it was I saw this twenty years ago. Again in college fourteen years ago where it was a "classic". And now where.. it's legitimately a classic of classics.

[@KSW_HeavyChest]

What the dick is a CCP?

[@spencerdokes6056]

chinese communist party?

[@Luv2spooge]

What is a CCP?😊

[@johnnie543]

The first time I ever saw Zach Galifianakis and I've been laughing at his material ever since!! 😅😅

[@michealknight9303]

The ironic Henna tattoo that says "Forever" 😆 🤣

[@Lord_OTD]

His style of comedy and sense of humor are just so different, it’s refreshing 😂👏🏿.

nope

Zach is 1 of my favorite humans ever.

[@shukriaapso8404]

This is therapy on another level. Nice piano sound and than laughter after laughter. Thanks Z 😂

[@AdamLacy228]

This is exactly the kind of comedy that I would expect from Zach, and I'm here for it. 😂

[@ejyounggun08]

I know this was the first time I saw Zac but I don't recall this airing just 6 days after 9/11. I wish I could remember what relief this special brought at that time; to myself and the country.

[@briseboy]

That would be 9/17... Were you constipated for SIX days? Or just itchy? Countries are not relieved - their children just get old, desperately grumpy and conservative, then dead. (Oh, is THAT what you mean by relieved? Since i don't see any dead fat golfers just now, the country is obviously still constipated)

[@ejyounggun08]

@@briseboy What? I'm talking about the towers going down on 9/11 and how this aired just a few days later. It must have brought some needed laughter to the US.

[@LukeRileyA]

​@@ejyounggun08 I'm glad that you pointed out that was the air date, not the recording date. When I read that I thought this set was actually taking place a week after 9/11, and I was confused about the tone of the crowd.

[@ejyounggun08]

@@LukeRileyA Oh man, what a different experience this would've been then. 😂

[@yogijaya2897]

This country needs an enema! Drain the swamp!

[@patmccrotch5373]

"She had a crack, baby!" Hooked me on him for life, such a great joke

[@wesleygary6651]

This was the first time i ever saw Zach. The half-hour comedy hour was where you went to see guys like this, you never knew what was coming. That's real comedy--not knowing and hoping for the best. Comedians will say that's what it's like doing stand-up.

[@southparkfan01]

Zach is hilarious and Between Two Ferns is one of the BEST things to EVER be created!

[@U2too]

This aired 6 days after 9/11😮 Aired of 9/17/2001

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Tiny hands also and his recent opening for SNL

[@JonnyBaryshnikov]

Masterpiece! When you're good, you're good. Cracks me up just as much as it did back in the day.

[@sKitZoBonKa]

Lol felt like there was an applause sign 😂

[@BobbyBoy1866]

my favorite part of the special is being able to read the bottom of the sign at the end.

[@TheUnfriendlyfire]

The camera man really messed up on that last bit

[@FredWallace18]

Probably was originally full screen (special is from 2001) and was cut down to wide screen. Blame editors who butchered it for KZbin.

[@routhy46]

@@FredWallace18 yes, exactly

[@blazeface591]

And Zach messed up the whole thing

[@baffledbybullshit805]

Was demoted to the Ellen DeGeneres show.

[@RememberMe123-b4b]

Different kind of comedy in a Andy Kaufman way. Thinking man's comedy. Well done!!!!

[@shawnodell8389]

Honestly took a lot of obvious inspiration from Demetrius martin. You should check his stuff out

[@mmechrizma]

The timid pimp. 😂

[@PsychRick]

I lost it on the "gay snake" 😂

[@poupdujour]

I remember when I first saw it blew me away with how different it was. Then maybe 10 years later the hangover came out. He’s been funny forever man Just noticed this came out a week after 9/11, wow

[@Chancetherocker]

The Asian piano joke was really all that made me laugh

[@sphincterSplasher]

So you have a very limited sense of humor... we were all feverishly waiting for your announcement. Thank you. Please update regularly!

A zach standup what a treat

[@cudomoney]

"Oh, you're out of that one? Just give me the man that's afraid of vampires with long fangs."

[@nikolaygrozdanov4903]

The balance between his way of being a troll and having a few people in the audience that are very fake made it great!

[@UrbanaShouquat]

That cab driver joke xD

[@ITFDAVE]

This is what the "old timers" meant when they said just be yourself and dont worry about what others think of you... Food for thought

[@shukriaapso8404]

I did that at concert once. All girls were screaming to this hot singer with amazing voice. They yelled LOVE YOU And I called out his name and he actually responded to me and I asked: DUDE, WHY ARE YOU WAILING 😂 HE ACTUALLY LOVED MY JOKE AND INVITED ME ON A STAGE TO DANCE

Dude being a comic and absolutely killing it must feel insanely powerful. It’s like giving people mental orgasms and you put them under a spell

Nice!

[@KingZook_MusicTX]

Original airdate 6 days after 9/11.

[@christianhitt1196]

This guy reminds me of the actor Tairy Greene. His impersonations would benefit from altering the nose!

[@Bmanritchie]

CC really needs to archive the comedians that made their way. These classic standups are being lost to time.

[@Pedro-tl7jg]

Imagine telling that cab driver joke today...

[@sparkythancztwise]

A lot of those jokes would be at a much higher risk of landing very differently now, then back then.

Yep....thats cuz human beings weren't fragile mental patient sissies back then .........

Is it too much to ask Comedy Central to respect the correct frame ratio of Zach Galifianakis' Special so we could enjoy it without missing the visual comedy bits? It's disrespectful to the viewer and more so to Zach Galifianakis himself! You'd think that, with a name like Comedy Central, they would know what comedy is! Please stop being obsessed with that "full frame" nonsense! What a waste of... comedy!
