Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis: Hillary Clinton
Zach Galifianakis brings us another one of his hard-hitting interviews.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
It is always hard to figure out how much of these interviews are staged, but Hillary looked none too pleased with Zach's humor.
ReplyDeleteThat's part of the routine. Zach interviews someone who clearly detests him and is downright sullen at times. He's done this with Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Will Farrel, Bradley Cooper, Justin Beiber, Jennifer Aniston, Barack Obama.. My favorite is Steve Carell.

This is most excellent. I love the tackle by the secret service - it's perfect for the season. The jokes at the end were awesome.
ReplyDeleteZach is brutal.
ReplyDeleteZach Galifianakis had better watch his back. The last guy who released a video Hillary didn't like was blamed for Benghazi and sent to federal prison.
ReplyDeleteI suppose that Hillary was aiming for my generation. I'm 29, and saw this. Zach is cool and I think her goal was to make this corrupt liar look funny and hip so that millennials would like her and vote for her. It failed miserably.
ReplyDeleteActually, hat video is hilarious and it shows just what a prig she is. At least when Obama did it, he rolled with it and didn't come across as so self important. This video lost her young people's votes, it sure as hell didn't help her!
ReplyDeleteThis looked like one of those old Celebrity Roasts that used to be on television
ReplyDeletePlease! Allow me. Hillary tell us how you get along with Monica and all the other women Bill has slept with? Do you get together and bake cookies? Hillary, when you have your seizures do you have to take a nap afterward or do the meds fix you up? Hillary, Do you now know what C as in Classified means or are you still confused? Hillary, why are there so many dead people associated with you? Do you think that is a coincidence? Hillary, do you have a wall around your home and will you take down the wall around the Whitehouse?
Those would be just a few of the questions I would ask in a roast. This roast gets a thumbs down
I admire her for giving it a go. I think they both did a great job being themselves. It was a refreshing exchange. Thanks, Bernie, for putting it up.
ReplyDeleteI like, "How does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself? Weak?" But my favorite has always been Carrel.
ReplyDeleteI loved when he asked her "How should I contact you? By e-mail?" She gave him the Medusa stare.
ReplyDeleteOh my! Her responses and reactions confirmed my belief that Hillary Clinton lacks the mental sharpness and ingenuity to hold any high level government position. She failed miserably as Secretary of State and would do the same as President.
ReplyDeleteObama gave as much as he took from Zack. He was a cool customer. Hillary looked like a deer in the headlights. She has no sense of humor, and is about as genuine as a three dollar bill.
ReplyDeleteI wonder sometimes what would Hillary's position be today, if she would not have gotten hooked up with bill. Does anyone think she would be running for president?
ReplyDelete12:59 She was a Black Panther lawer when she and Bill met in the mid-70s. This was right after she got fired from the Watergate investigation. I'm sure she would be doing some law work as a radical leftist lawyer, perhaps for Black Lives Matter or the New Black Panthers now if she didn't meet Bill.
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing was hilarious--especially the Donald Trump commercial. The only difference was, unlike Hillary and Zach, Trump wasn't actually trying to be funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny as hell!
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't she just a barrel of laughs. The ferns looked livelier. I knew she was stiff but she died about 30 seconds into the interview.
ReplyDeleteHillary, it's a gag, go along with it.
Can Hillary appear any stiffer? Rigamortis must be setting in early. Someone check her pulse! If Hillary thinks she can win the White House from out of her bed, she is dead wrong.
ReplyDelete1:39 Appeared that she was heavily doped up. Reminded me of "Weekend At Bernies" or "The Sitting Dead". Did you see her eyes just glaring? I'd hate to be on her staff after this ended having to answer "Who in HELL set me up for that?" (Duck the tossed object that would be thrown)
ReplyDeleteAs my dad told me on the phone this morning.
ReplyDeleteThe first debate is Monday. All the preliminaries are over with
Time for Americans to decide. The main event is about to begin.
The entire sketch was staged. She knew the jokes going into it and was given certain responses (i.e. I shouldn't have agreed to this.) Anybody really believe that she was blindsided? Oh, probably the buffoons that support Trump.
ReplyDeleteShe is not a comedian, she's a wonderful politician and our next President.
@2:19 I read that Hillary asked for a stool and time to cough during the debates. This was declined by the debate committee.
ReplyDeleteWill Hillary need a stool to sit on when and also time-out periods to attend to her health she has to stand up to Putin?
ReplyDeleteI forgot the URL: http://www.drudgereport.com/
4.17
ReplyDeleteyep the url explains it all
might help if drudge had basic comprehension skills.
first the committee stated that there is no commercial breaks.
coughing has nothing to do with it.
but a sleaze site like drudge would try to make so.
second the stool has to do with the height difference between Hillary and trumpie.
it has nothing to do with sitting down.
so you have another fine example of a right wing nothing burger.
@5:01 Drudge doesn't actually write any of the articles he posts. The articles in question were written by the British Daily Mail.

ReplyDelete2:19 "wonderful politician"? And that is a compliment?? Exactly why she will lose.
ReplyDelete1:39 nor rigor mortis. The Uncle Fester smock she was wearing was over starched. Next sit down interview will feature her in an Iron Maiden. Fits her personality.
ReplyDelete5:42, 5:45, I see nothing wrong with Clinton wanting something to offset Trump's height advantage. That seems like a perfectly reasonable request. You need to chill a little.
ReplyDelete"Wonderful politician"? Wow. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteAre you down with TPP?
ReplyDeleteI'm down with OPP.
ReplyDeleteHillary's just too hip. But Bill is definitely down with it.
ReplyDeleteAmong her thousands of paid staff, there must be a "Millennial Outreach Coordinator." That person failed miserably if he/she set this debacle up
ReplyDeleteHillary sat there like a grannie waiting for her cup of tea to arrive.
I pity anyone who finds this even remotely entertaining. Galifianakis is a no-talent tool.
ReplyDeleteZach Gaifianakis really does between two ferns well. It's sort of a Sash Cohen/ Lenny Bruce type of funny, but I think it's very funny. It takes a set of balls to crack those jokes right in Hillary's face. It's almost like an insult comic type of style. I found it super entertaining. Regardless of politics, this was one of the funniest hings Ihave seen in a long time. From the werewolf outfit to scare Hillary to the closing...very well done
ReplyDelete"Galifianakis is a no-talent tool."
ReplyDeleteYou probably have no sense of humor.
Bernie @2:39,
ReplyDeleteI have a terrific sense of humor. I just think send ups deserve better representation than Galifianakis. All of the phony "interview" parody shows in the last 10 years have been garbage. The funny ones are those that don't even pretend to be serious.
If you have to claim to have a terrific sense of humor, you don't.
ReplyDeleteZach has been in several smash hit movies. He is a major comedic talent. 8:27 is an obvious Hillary tool who cannot accept how poorly she did in the segment. She showed how stiff and phony she really is.
ReplyDeleteBernie @5:17,
ReplyDeleteReading your blog proves I have one hell of a sense of humor.
@1:36- Now THAT'S funny!
