‘Between Two Ferns’ with Zach Galifianakis, with guest Will Ferrell. Ahh, it’s nice to see someone likes that video of the chimp mouth-raping a frog while a child cries as much as I do.

Here’s an interview Zach Galifianakis did last week with Gordon Keith, a local TV host in Dallas.  Everyone on the internet is calling it “uncomfortable” and “sphincter-clenchingly awkward.”  I saw it, and just assumed it was just a well-executed gag.  Keith does an incredible job of replicating Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns shtick, and I assumed by the way the awkward pauses are of almost identical length to Galifianakis’ Two Ferns videos, that Galifianakis was in on it.  Keith however (who it should be noted does do a comedy show), claims that this was not the case:

To answer a few important sexual questions. Zach Galifianakis is brilliant, and a damn fine actor. No, he was not “in” on it. There was no “in.” I suck as an interviewer, hence I throw them comedic softballs that they can hit outta the park. I thought Zach did just that. “Don’t forget to smell Emma” is my new ringtone. [GordonKeith]

In on it or not, Keith is definitely lying about sucking as an interviewer, because this exchange was perfection:

Bruce Willis’ Red opens this weekend, and in support of the film, he appeared on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, which as an actor, is about a thousand times more fun than talking to Billy Bush, Satan’s dead-eyed gay lover.  As always, ‘Fianakis asks the best questions:

• How many children do you have?  Who’s your favorite, Ashton?
• When you were making The Whole Ten Yards, were you ever worried that it’d be too good?
• Are you aware that some actors turn down roles?

I have nothing to add to this.  If I was Zach Galifianakis, I would pay hookers to shampoo my beard.

The Social Network opens today, and its almost universally positive reviews won’t be a surprise to anyone who’s heard the music in the trailer.  It’s a children’s choir singing Radiohead!  How could it not be important? As if to test this theory, this new video from Funny or Die combines the music of The Social Network with the some of the silliest moments from Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.  Ta da!  Suddenly it’s pregnant with import. The first time I heard this song, I made a recording of it so that I can play it on a boombox while I blog in public so people think I’m a genius.  It think it’s starting to work.  Thanks, David Fincher.  Meanwhile, I hear the soundtrack of Bret Ratner’s next movie will have Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger singing a cover of “My Humps.”

“…Is that f*ckin’ Carrot Top behind me?”

Sean Penn recently took time out of his busy schedule of saving Haitian orphans using the healing power of scowls to sit down with Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.  Or rather, sit down with Zach Galifianakis’ twin brother, Seth. I don’t want to ruin it by telling you what happens, but I really enjoy this as a non-sequitir:

“Funions needs to be in the movie, he’s got a captain’s hat on him!”

I’m going to be shouting that at strangers all week.  Sidenote: is there a more white name than ‘Seth’?  Preston?  Mort?  Discuss.  Hey, which one of these do you think looks more like Funions?

“What? No, mom, how many times do I have to tell you: I am a serious writer!  Quit riding me, I’ll be up for dinner in a minute.”
