Zach Galifianakis uncomfortably questions Hillary Clinton in incredible ‘Between Two Ferns’ video

Comedian Zach Galifianakis asked Hillary Clinton a series of awkward and inappropriate questions in a “Between Two Ferns” video released Thursday.

Among other things, Galifianakis suggested that Clinton, a former secretary of state, had fetched coffee for President Obama.

“As secretary, how many words per minute could you type? And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself, weak?” he asked on his show, which is meant to mock celebrity interviews and is published by the comedy website Funny or Die.

Hillary tries, and completely fails, to be hip here. And Zach pulled no punches. The only real question is whether Hillary actually got upset, or was just playing along.

The full show (5 1/2 minutes) is here:

I wonder if whoever came up with that coffee question was doing that as a jab at Bill’s off-mic comment during the 2008 election or if it was just a convenient generic play on “secretary”.

"And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself, weak?”

I like that one. Great idea for a T-shirt:

Obama. Weak. Just like his coffee.

5 minutes of pure cringe.

Stuart Varney played the Trump portion this morning.

NOT funny. NOT even amusing.

Hillary is as amusing and as personable as a dead, rotting fish.

That Awkwardness was so think you could cut it with a Knife!

Yeah, make no bones out it, they are pulling out anything they can to make her look hip with the young ones. I won’t bother watching, but most people under 25 will see right through anything trying to make her ‘hip’.

"How does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself, weak?”

[Rebelbase]

Yeah, that was pathetic.

[Leaning Right]

5 minutes of pure cringe.

Yep. Hillary couldn't even come back with a single zinger of her own. If Hillary's handlers thought this would help her with the under-30 vote, they were wrong.

Very Presidential of Hillary, if I may say.

Really informative video that speaks to Hillary's lack of good judgment and the isolation bubble she lives in

[Leaning Right]

Pathetic, and helpful to Trump. Anyone who saw this video (and let’s hope many young people did) would have to think less of Hillary.

She sat there almost like a cardboard prop.

Hillary said it would be appropriate for Trump to wear a White Power tie.

That was way over the line, once again calling Trump a racist.

Is this a for real interview?? I’m speechless, this has to be a setup. I don’t know this Zach show, is it like SNL?

[chris37]

The best part was the Donald Trump commercial in the middle.

[rey]

I liked it. But I also like abstract art.

[sissyjane]

I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face!!!

[Leaning Right]

Is this a for real interview??

It sure is. I triple-checked. I initially had my doubts, because Hillary appeared so washed-out and unresponsive. But it's real enough.

I wonder if whoever came up with that coffee question was doing that as a jab at Bill’s off-mic comment during the 2008 election or if it was just a convenient generic play on “secretary”.

I'd suppose the latter. Today's publik skool educated yoots probably think that's what a Secretary of State does - take dictation from the President.
