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

[@user-be6jf2pq4l]

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

[@hydrodwarf]

Zach delivers a comic technique that's so unique

[@ZootSuitNewt]

Nice poem.

[@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.

[@johnnie543]

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

[@himdotcom]

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

[@pavelkish7142]

Zach is 1 of my favorite humans ever.

[@mmechrizma]

The timid pimp. 😂

[@micahhawkins8233]

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

[@Lord_OTD]

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

[@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?

[@shukriaapso8404]

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

[@Swamp_gas12]

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

[@TheREALQueenJay]

"Shhh, I can't hear Keanu!" 🤣

[@mrfoxydoodles]

hes such a great actor.

[@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

[@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

Was demoted to the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Ungrateful swine

[@michealknight9303]

The ironic Henna tattoo that says "Forever" 😆 🤣

[@Nate-cg9mm]

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

[@JonnyBaryshnikov]

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

[@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.

I wonder if Chappelle took that “Three white guys in the Bronx reality show” premise and turned it into the Mad Real World.

[@user-js9jd5gn7b]

That cab driver joke xD

[@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!

[@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.

[@ghost9-9ghost]

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

[@jf7098]

A classic

[@gamaliertoro8502]

I love his comedy style, he's in his weal house, Sign me up!

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
