It is a scripted series in which all of the guests end up being fake trolled by Zack. It is hilarious. There exists another interview between a news man from Texas and Zack in which the interviewer uses Zack's own troll-style against him to amazing effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPJowXgH3YU

Gordon Keith is mainly a radio guy and has been crafting uncomfortable interviews since the mid-90's. He's quite good at it and I'm fairly sure he's on reddit with some frequency, but I have no proof.

How he managed to keep a straight face through that I'll never know.

They help when you're browsing Reddit at work, especially so when you're on a computer that would probably explode if it tried to play sound and video together.

I like the one where he is interviewing Bruce Willis. He asks him if Ashton is his favorite son.

[–]logicalnoise 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a great line but the reality is that Bruce really does get along with Ashton great and is still good friends with both Demi and Ashton.

[–]seanfinn10 17 points18 points ago

OK...so everyone complains about not linking to the video, yet no one actually links to the original source (funnyordie.com), just youtube copies. Here's the original source: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/ed36fa1ab6/between-two-ferns-with-zach-galifianakis-steve-carell

Funny or Die actually has a YouTube channel, for what it's worth.

still linking to someone who ripped the video from fd to youtube, you miss the point.

Is there a repost filter and this is an attempt to get around it? I dunno though, agreed it's annoying--yet--new redditors deserver to enjoy some of the classics as well. Perhaps if there was a tab at the top that had top links, but over the last year or something, maybe a swivel search? Hmmm....

Maybe if there was a walkthrough level for reddit...

Nah, people would still do it.

[–]Glotka 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's because a lot of times people will much rather click on imgur links than watch a video. I know I do, I can tab a load of images then work through them whereas videos are a lot more annoying. The picture/subtitle type of image isn't that bad, it stops you having to watch through a video for one particular joke.

[–]maddness 1 point2 points ago

also for those at work without headphones.

[–]permaculture 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why is this type of shit becoming popular?

Attempt at an explanation: Because pic posts get the most upvotes.

Yes, I hate it too.

[–]chase_the_dragon 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hate to say too but it's true. Some people (including me) don't want to or can't watch videos so it's easier to look a pic post. It's also faster to read a pic post then it is to watch the video.

[–]kuro5hyn 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Absolutely true. I can't watch videos at work - however I can laugh my ass off at captions.

[–]volatile_ant 0 points1 point ago

[–]FreonTrip 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some work proxies are video-unfriendly. Getting to see the image with subtitles is better than nothing at all. It's also faster to take in, though not really a superior experience otherwise.

lookat the URL, idiots think just cause it's on tumblr it's reddit worthy.

[–]poorieuser 0 points1 point ago

Probably because not everyone is unemployed and has the privacy of their parents basement to spend the day watching Youtube clips.

Because this:

You don't have to wait for the funny part. (also solved by posting to the specific time in the video)

[–]lekotar 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Reason? Probably one of those:

  1. All the video-links have already been posted
  2. OP is too lazy to search for the original
  3. redditors who know this video are about 60% less than the people who think this is just a picture

[–]istroll 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

  1. Can't watch videos at work. So they don't get clicked on.

Instead of linking to a lame picture version of a part of the show, why not link the show? I don't understand this at all. I love Between Two Ferns, but without actually seeing the show, you suck all the funny out and just make it a lame set of idiotic pictures.

[–]facepoppies 0 points1 point ago
