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.

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?


It’s a millennial “comedy” show. It’s supposed to have all that snark and irony that they love.

The intent here is to immunize Hillary from these issues. Treat them unseriously to make them unserious. If that makes any sense.

Oh, and let me add something to my post #19 to you. The ‘Between Two Ferns’ videos are meant to by comic. Zach Galifianakis, the host, always asks oddball questions to his guests.

The guests are expected to give as good as they got. But not in this case. Hillary just pretty much sat there. This will do nothing to endear her among the under-30 crowd.

Yes, it's real. It's a joke interview, but trendy along Millenials. Don't forget that a lot of them get their "news" from the Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Obama did this same "interview" back in 2014:

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: President Barack Obama

Man, that was flat. Hillary was mostly a prop for Zach to make “ironic” jokes about Trump.

As flat and un-funny as it was, the editing is extremely choppy, very rarely seeing them both in the frame simultaneously, suggesting to me that there was more than one take for many of her replies.

I won’t bother watching...

Can't say I blame you. Five seconds of Hillary is usually my limit. That's one reason I won't be watching the debates.

Anyway, I'll sum it up for you. Galifianakis asks Hillary provocative - and somewhat comic - questions. Hillary just sits there. Sometimes she responds with a word or two. Sometimes she says nothing.

Trump could actually use this as a campaign ad: If Hillary can't handle Galifianakis, how can she handle Putin?

Gif of Hillary's quote at 4:01 in that video Hillary replies:
"Uh, well I couldn't hear or see very well"

Thanks for posting the Youtube comments. Icing on the cake, so to speak.

If that's the case, then Hillary is more of a hot mess than even we suspect. Because the takes that made it to the final cut did not reflect well on her at all.

People will laugh at anything, doesn't make him funny.
