Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis is quite possibly the funniest internet video series I have ever seen. The subtle and not-so-subtle mocking of public television sets with the two ferns and old chairs would be funny on its own, but the series pulls some major talent. Guests include Natalie Portman, Sean Penn, Conan O'Brien, Bradley Cooper, Charlize Theron and Ben Stiller. On top of the major talent and mockery of public TV, Zach Galifianakis has a very interesting way of handling his guests. All of the episodes are different and I encourage you to watch a few of them. I spent an hour last night watching all of them instead of reading my homework because they are addictive.

Here's one of my favorites, with Sean Penn and host Seth Galifianakis, Zach's twin brother. Favorite quotes:
  • Y'all go to Long John Silver's or something fancy like that?
  • I'll follow you home tonight.
  • (About Haiti) Is there a Six Flags down there? We can move on.


P.S. If you visit Zach Galifianakis's website, you will find a drawing of a Greek-style nude. If you google him, the text under his website states - "Zach is so happy that you found his site. Though he doesn't have the ablility to feel any shred of emotion." Hahaha
