‘Between Two Ferns’ w/ Seth Galifianakis and Sean Penn

By

If you haven’t already, you should really start catching up on Zach Galifianakis’ interview web series on Funny of Die, Between Two Ferns. He sits down with A-list actors and asks them completely awful and inappropriate questions, to which they usually get upset about and hilarity ensues. All the guests are completely in on it, but the back-and-forth between Zach and the A-listers feels very real at times, thus making it funny as hell. Recently Zach sat down with Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, but in character as his “twin brother” Seth Galifianakis.

It’s really awesome to see Sean Penn, a TWO-time Oscar-winner, taking the time out of his schedule to participate in a ridiculous online comedy sketch. He even seems to poke fun at his “serious, rageful” demeanor by telling Seth, after being asked an inappropriate question, “I’ll knock you the f*ck out right in your chair.” It’s just awesome. Check it out.

For those of you who are new to Zach Galifianakis, and by “new” I mean after The Hangover, he’s actually been a stand-up comic for about 15 years now. The Seth character has made appearances throughout his career, most famously in his brilliant 2006 DVD special, Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion. If you like Zach even in the slightest, this stand-up special will have you pissing your pants in no time. Def recommend. And again, you can catch all of Zach’s Between Two Ferns at Funny or Die.
