NEW ‘BETWEEN TWO FERNS’: BEN STILLER

Written by Matt Ufford / 03.17.10

Here’s the newest “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis,” featuring guest Ben Stiller. As usual, it’s chock full o’ awkward hilarity, and I can’t help but wonder why this wasn’t incorporated into Zach’s “Saturday Night Live” gig. “Hey ben-stiller-2fernsZach! That was an awesome monologue, would you mind writing another skit from your ouevre? We’re having some problems coming up with funny material. Again.” I think it’d be cool to see Zach put the awkward screws to an out-of-character Kristen Wiig, or maybe Seth Meyers or Jason Sudeikis. Or hell, anyone. Anything besides that kissing family.

But I’ve gotten off track. The point is, Ben Stiller has whored himself out for easy paychecks for years, and this is the funniest thing he’s done in a long time. Oh well. At least he gave us Jewlander.

    Nothing says “sticking it to him” like the moniker “Actor, Duplex”.

    Thank you. I just came off the most craptacular shift ever, got no sleep & this really made me feel better. You are a true humanitarian. Also, I’m changing me wireless network name to benstillerfaggot69.

    Omg, I’m so tired I lapsed into leprechaun Irish, on this, our Day of Days. I guess I’ll make that wireless network name amickliveshere69 instead.

    I GET IT ESPN! NBA games tonight, thanks for popping up five times to tell me about the game I’m going to. It’s like their marketing department doesn’t even know me.

    Stiller deserves our scorn for his Oscar appearances, and many of his movies, but Tropic Thunder was the motherfucking truth.

    got more laugh’s out of this 4:51 clip than all of the three SNL episodes I have see this year combined. Exact same shtick each time, uniquely funny each time.
