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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@Tim Cox He's quite a famous motivational speaker so I was just giving you shit about your positive and empowering comment. You're right, it would be boring :)
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 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.
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.
Zach Galifianakis looks like a guy, who got famous by an accident, not really knows how or why, but he goes with it, and has a lot of fun doing so :) I really like that in him.
Rory Drew I don’t think it is Bruce Willis. He has a very good sense of humor. He even did his own Roast on Comedy Central. I would say it’s Sean Penn. he once wrote a letter to the South Park creators on how offensive they are.
It was Jerry Seinfeld. You can see the other version on comedians in cars getting coffee on Zach Galifianakis's episode. They put in a way less funny joke about horses or something in there
@@Flantabulous Nah I'd be surprised if it were Stiller. He's worked with Ricky Gervais, there's your first clue 😂 some people are natural comedians and put the humour first.
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.
I love Zach, I have live at the purple onion on dvd, but just watched an episode of between two ferns for the first time last night, don't know how or why it took so long but well worth the wait
The story with Hillary getting viewer questions via fax gave me the biggest laugh I have gotten in years. Don't know why, but the silliness of waiting a minute through the annoying noise so that she could get asked the same lame question. Bravo Zach, bravo!
01:04 *Zach* : they don't know what I'm gonna ask. They don't ever know! 03:00 *zach* : I asked the speechwriter has he (president Obama) seen that question? And the speech writer says yeah I think so... Huh 🤔 now I don't know what to *beliebe* (reference to the episode with Justin Bieber lMAO)😅🤣😂 LOVE YOU ZACH you're AWESOME !!!😂❤🔥
I’ve now seen a number of the clips from the interview with Zach and more than with any of the other great interviews/interviewees, he’s the one i hope i one day sit next to on an 8 hour flight! 🙏🏼😆
"The good thing about The Between Two Ferns is you don't really have to know what you're doing to interview anyone except having the audacity to ask really, really bad questions." The unfortunate antidote to The Audacity Of Hope. #BetweenTwoFerns
I'm glad to learn this! I've always wondered if they were in on the joke or not! Although they don't know the questions ahead of time, I'm glad they at least know what's coming. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie!
I feel that Adam Sander's performance in Big Daddy is one of the great performances of our time. His presence draws the audience into the film's deeper coming-of-age story. Although we find Adam Sandler's character Sonny in a child-like state of mind, the boy Julian contrasts well as child in a more mature state of mind. These characters mirror each other. Sonny is the child, and Julian is the adult. As the plot develops, however, we see Julian becoming more of a child and Sonny becoming more of an adult. Just like Julian's mother can't take care of him anymore, Sonny also can't hide in the familiar arms of his "mother" -- his depression -- anymore. Sonny and Julian rescue each other and in the end stay together. This film constitutes one of the more meaningful portrayals of social and cognitive development we could ever find in Hollywood.
Phil Hendrie from 1995 to 2006 was funnier. Hands down. All of his interviews were satirical. He trolled the SHIT out of real callers to the show. Edit: Just checked and for some reason Hendrie is IN the Between Two Ferns movie. wtf.
I watched a few epispdes of Between Two Ferns and I am always under the impression that the whole scene has been pre-arranged prior to the actual shooting!I I mean that eposide with Sean Penn! Zach is the meanest and vicious human being!
That would be my top of the head guess as well. The first time I watched it I was convinced he was genuinely irritated throughout the whole thing, but you can see him grin sometimes in it. Maybe he wasn't that pleased with how the 'I'll knock you the fuck out right in your chair' line might come off, idk. Also, and not that you would necessarily know this, but is penn developing Parkinson's lately or something? I saw a bit with him on that new David spade show not long ago, and his right arm was shaking 90 to nothing the whole time.
I have rewatched all the between two ferns trying to figure out who would want to edit the episode. Everyone is saying Bruce WIllis but he was wayyy too in on the joke. His monologue at the end played right into the whole bit. Also sean penn's body lagnuage is so overly exaggerated in his episode--- along with other interviews where he appears very capable of taking a joke at his owm expense I have a hard time believing it is him either. People are also saying Seinfeld but he was riffing the whole time as well as he has been in the comedy business for so long--- also he appears in nothing he doesn't want to be in-- to not understand the show. My only conclusion is maybe that it could have been anyone (besides bradley/steve carrel-- they seem to have clear personal chemistry) and it wasn't so much they were angry about the show just that they wanted to control the joke?? Idk
Hey Sam, I really enjoy your work with this show. You are genuine and enjoyable to watch. I appreciate that. However, I have to say that our current President deserves our respect just like previous ones. You’re typically so kind and respectful to those you have on your show. Let’s extend that same kindness and decency to our President. Cheers, man.
There is NO WAY IN HADES that this show is "just improvised", It's either 100% scripted, OR at the very least, the guests are extensively briefed before the show, about what is going to happen. Zach has gone from trolling the guests, to trolling the viewers. This is a masterclass, right here.
goldwincs If it's not one of those three, I'd be shocked. I guess we'll never know, unless someone out there has some Magnum PI level skills to crack the case.
Why would a celebrity say they were going to “edit” their piece instead of just asking if the particular segment was not used? Surely that would be respected?
If the gum part with Brad Pitt was improvised then that’s hands down the funniest thing I’ve seen on the show 😂😂
I had forgotten what happened so I went back and rewatched it. Hilarious bit!
T Clark Lmao... Did you not just watch this interview??
that shit was so funny 😂😂😂
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.
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
Wow, didn't realise Zach could turn off his weirdness. That's cool
The Truth perfect commentary because that was exactly my doubt
lol y'all think he's weird?
Maybe he's just acting "normal"
Yeah he's an actual real person
Amse Master lol I know but it doesn’t mean he’s a person he can’t be awkward
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.
"I don't want them to feel uncomfortable..."
Flashbacks to Michael Cera
Favorite comment for me right here 😂
also flahbacks of everyone else. lol
You want a little tickle Haha
Can I tickle you?
I though the entire show was planned because of the Michael Cera thing, and now...
-"is it hard for you to keep a tan?"
-"why?"
-"because you live under your wife's shadow"
Bradley Pitts! 🤣
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.
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!
We NEED Ryan Reynolds on Between Two Ferns!!!!!
Brooooooooo 🔥
I posted a comment on one of the newer episodes saying the same.
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.
Oh fuck yes 👏
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.
”And that other girl too” jeez, have u seen will farrel on it? Best one hands down
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.
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.
Charlize The Ron?
Wait does this mean the one with Steve Carrell was improvised too...? That's crazy
*Carell
Steve Carell literally used to teach improv.....that's how he met his wife
Reno 911 was about 90% improv too....you have a set finish and end, and the talent just fills in the middle....some people are amazing at it
Blas I cried when I watched that one
@@TRJ2241987 Is their anyway to take "used to teach improve" other than literal? Duh. God that word sucks.
Bradley Coopers episodes were HILARIOUS! The chemistry between them both was Gold.
This is the closest to Authentic Zach we’ve ever been
DeezyE you should watch his episode of Comedians in cars getting coffee. It's pretty interesting
this and the Brody Steven's "Enjoy It!" are the most real I get from him.
@Tim Cox That's some real Tony Robbins bs right there dude! :p
@Tim Cox He's quite a famous motivational speaker so I was just giving you shit about your positive and empowering comment. You're right, it would be boring :)
@Tim Cox are you on some kind of prescription man or is it under the table? Either way, I want some! :p
Galifianakis: "Cardi B, Zachy G, Jerry J."
Seinfeld: "What's the J?"
Galifianakis: "Jew."
Zach has such an engaging energy. Bringing joy
a very underrated comedian, never see him get the flowers he deserves
Flowers?? He HAS 2 - 2 - ferns. ??
@@ownpetard8379 😆😆😆
Loved him since he used to do stand up with his piano. Still one of my all time favorites! He seems like a very genuine person.
I love him so much. Bored to Death is my favorite thing he was in ❤❤❤
lindsey bailes bored to death was my favorite thing anyone was in . Underrated
Zach beating Justin Beiber had me on the floor laughing...
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 thought he was really mean
I found out that it's just a joke
being able to self deprecate is such a important trait to have for a celebrity
Please bring back between two ferns! The funniest show ever!
I'm gonna take a "wild" guess that it was Bruce Willis who wanted to edit his piece?
I thought it would've been Sean Penn.
guessing Penn, but really want to know who it was
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.
@@dlxmarks Sean Penn and Zach are friends actually. Sean casted/ directed Zach in the film Into The Wild.
@@mixedboi I don’t think Sean Penn cares that much about what people think of him anymore lol
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.
You literally make no sense
Zach Galifianakis looks like a guy, who got famous by an accident, not really knows how or why, but he goes with it, and has a lot of fun doing so :)
I really like that in him.
Go watch Live at the Purple Onion and tell me he isn't destined for big things in the comedy world
I remember seeing his 'Comedy Central Presents' when I was about 14/15 years old and thinking "this guy is genuinely brilliant"
@@JoshSHOCKZ No, I don't follow Michael Cera on Twitter.
Zach is one of the finest performers of our generation !
I’m very impressed with the way the host carries himself as a person
He is a class act. Probably one of the best interviewers today.
I would say that is his best bet.
DAMN IT. Now I have to go back and re-watch every episode of that show.. Thanks alot, Zach. 😂
"how does it feel to be the first...last black president" was one of the best skits ever. Obamas response was beyond priceless.
Between Two Ferns always made me laugh because it’s soo cheeky 😂
I think this host is broken, he's actually listening to his guest and allowing them to speak without interruption.
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.
Loved the movie! So silly and fun
It had me laughing out loud quite a few times.
Its bad
Made me laugh!!!
In between 2 ferns is seriously one of my favourite short TH-cam shows xD he’s so damn funny
Zach's weirder stuff, like with Tim and Eric, is some of the funniest content I've ever seen
I don't think he'll ever play a better character than Tairy Greene.
@@Maksie0 YOU'RE NOT A PERSON UNLESS YOU'RE ACTING.
ZG is my favorite artist .... love it that he creates an environment and improvises
I'm guessing the actor who said they wanted to edit their own episode was either Bruce Willis or Sean Penn. Probably Willis.
Rory Drew I don’t think it is Bruce Willis. He has a very good sense of humor. He even did his own Roast on Comedy Central. I would say it’s Sean Penn. he once wrote a letter to the South Park creators on how offensive they are.
Oh Penn for sure
I agree with you about Bruce Willis. He likes to have a writer with him and write for him.
It was Jerry Seinfeld. You can see the other version on comedians in cars getting coffee on Zach Galifianakis's episode. They put in a way less funny joke about horses or something in there
Nah, Seinfeld's a huge ass, he has my vote
I loved Zack's reaction to the host's "BTF" intro
and now, Zach Glickiflakits from Between 2 Wormz.
Glickiflakits lolll I snorted reading that slowly :D
Zats Galafinances from “Button Twee Urns”.
For those of you wondering who was the person who wanted to edit the segment it was Will Ferrell. The guy is a real diva.
Thank you I was racking my brain. I thought maybe Stiller but makes sense.
@@Flantabulous Nah I'd be surprised if it were Stiller. He's worked with Ricky Gervais, there's your first clue 😂 some people are natural comedians and put the humour first.
the outtakes from between two ferns are hilarious

I cannot believe this is all improvised. I gotta go back and watch these again
I would LOVE to see Steven Seagal between two ferns. He definitely wouldn’t get it.
LMAO!... It would end with him choking Zach lol
Vanilla Theis yes ... now that entertainment!!!
He wouldn’t fit.
@cjgatzter He wasnt "one of them" ... He was the all time worst participant on SNL according to staff and producers on the show
This is just Zach interviewing himself for 5 minutes.
the day bloopers of between two ferns come out I will feel accomplished
01:04 *Zach* : they don't know what I'm gonna ask. They don't ever know!
03:00 *zach* : I asked the speechwriter has he (president Obama) seen that question? And the speech writer says yeah I think so...
Huh 🤔 now I don't know what to *beliebe* (reference to the episode with Justin Bieber lMAO)😅🤣😂
LOVE YOU ZACH you're AWESOME !!!😂❤🔥
EXACTLY what i came to the comment section to ask. He just told on himself.
He's a freaking bad liar.
Between 2 ferns is one of the best things to ever exist 😂no matter who is on, Zach makes it hilarious!!!
Damn...so I paused it before he said “we couldn’t get into the edit” to rewatch it when it never had it 🤦🏽♂️
I’ve now seen a number of the clips from the interview with Zach and more than with any of the other great interviews/interviewees, he’s the one i hope i one day sit next to on an 8 hour flight! 🙏🏼😆
“How would you like this to be the last time you ever speak to a president” 😂😂😂😭
This is genius, he is the master of akward improv questions
He’s definitely talking about Sean Penn.
The back and forth here is gold

#BetweenTwoFerns
01:08 The Hillary Clinton story is AWESOME❗️
_I’m going to rewatch that with this story in mind._
Sam Jones is a total badass!! Looooooove your down to earth REAL interview style!!!
Watching the bloopers from Between Two Ferns makes it look like the guests are completely in on it...
I can't believe you just spent 4 and half minutes explaining the joke of between two ferns.
You HAVE to interview Keanu Reeves this year.
He did
Apparently, that black eye indicates some of the interviewees don't like his questions.
So it was was just a joke with Brad Lee Cooper & Christ of Waltz
I agree with Zach’s last statement about celebs, and being ready to take a joke.
I just discovered between two ferns today and I'm watching this video and realize it was uploaded yesterday.
Zach makes me laugh and I appreciate that
I love love love listening to comics be serious and just be themselves.
I'm glad to learn this! I've always wondered if they were in on the joke or not! Although they don't know the questions ahead of time, I'm glad they at least know what's coming. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie!
I really love Zach G.'s humor.
It's like a roast session. The difference is the roast takes place when they first answers questions 😂
While watching the film I felt like I was the guy being made fun of. Loved it 💘
where is the actual zach galifianakis interview?!
I couldn't find it on the website
Make a movie or more and more episodes with it. Zack gunned'em down all!
Such a great guest
I feel that Adam Sander's performance in Big Daddy is one of the great performances of our time. His presence draws the audience into the film's deeper coming-of-age story. Although we find Adam Sandler's character Sonny in a child-like state of mind, the boy Julian contrasts well as child in a more mature state of mind. These characters mirror each other. Sonny is the child, and Julian is the adult. As the plot develops, however, we see Julian becoming more of a child and Sonny becoming more of an adult.

Sonny and Julian rescue each other and in the end stay together. This film constitutes one of the more meaningful portrayals of social and cognitive development we could ever find in Hollywood.
Pretty bizarre.
Totally with you but I was going to reference Sophie's Choice to make the same point.
I'm thinking it was Bruce Willis who wanted to edit his appearance
yep
For a second I thought of Sean Penn,but then I remembered Willis and went with him as well.I'm really hoping it was Michael Cera though.
Nahh Yeo. Bruce knew full well what he was doing. Man was in comedy before he was ever in action. He knew
I say Sean Penn
Why? He is one of the most straightforward dudes in business.
Phil Hendrie from 1995 to 2006 was funnier. Hands down. All of his interviews were satirical. He trolled the SHIT out of real callers to the show.
Edit: Just checked and for some reason Hendrie is IN the Between Two Ferns movie. wtf.
Every subscriber of this Channel has watched this video exactly once
When i heard zac ask obama whats it like to be the last black president i had to pause the video, i died

He’s got such great hair because he has so much of it.
0:10 every Greek kid getting horrifying middle school flashbacks right now
☝️ I personally think it was the Sean Penn episode that the actor wanted to "edit."
That would be my top of the head guess as well. The first time I watched it I was convinced he was genuinely irritated throughout the whole thing, but you can see him grin sometimes in it. Maybe he wasn't that pleased with how the 'I'll knock you the fuck out right in your chair' line might come off, idk.
Also, and not that you would necessarily know this, but is penn developing Parkinson's lately or something? I saw a bit with him on that new David spade show not long ago, and his right arm was shaking 90 to nothing the whole time.
Amph G it’s the shakes from being an Alcoholic I believe, I think Penn even made a comment about it on that episode of Lights Out
the Hillary one was killer
Thought of him... buuuut Bruce also has a reputation.
“Well known actor”.... probably Bruce Willis. I love you Bruce!
Zach you are a master of Psychology.....
Probably Sean penn wanted to edit his stuff.
3:40 Sounds like something Herry Hiensfeld would do, better known by his stage name Jerry Seinfeld
How have none of you guys known everything was improvised off a small script for the interviews?
I have rewatched all the between two ferns trying to figure out who would want to edit the episode. Everyone is saying Bruce WIllis but he was wayyy too in on the joke.

@@dropdeadxhorizon Thanks, I think so. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Cheers.
What the writer should do is let the guest write there own interview so they can bash themselves without any bad feelings.

Anyone have any leads on the famous actor who asked for the edit? I’m dying to know
I wonder if the big actor that wanted control of editing his piece was Bruce Willis? That dude has ego issues.
I was wondering who it was, too. I thought it MIGHT have been someone else until I got to Willis's name.
my gut tells me it probably someone between Willis, Sean Penn, or even Jerry Seinfeld.
goldwincs agreed
goldwincs If it's not one of those three, I'd be shocked. I guess we'll never know, unless someone out there has some Magnum PI level skills to crack the case.
nailed it. Seinfeld? Fuck no. Bruce, all the way.
Why would a celebrity say they were going to “edit” their piece instead of just asking if the particular segment was not used? Surely that would be respected?
If someone is not smart enough to know that this is a joke then they shouldn’t be allowed to know.
good.
