Internet Meme of the Week: Between Two Ferns

With all the drama surrounding "The Tonight Show" or "The Late Show" or "The Late Late Show" or what have you, let's discuss a talk show that's actually good: "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis." A Funnyordie.com exclusive, "Between Two Ferns" is a sidesplitting mock talk show featuring Galifianakis (2009's "The Hangover") and his celebrity guests. Literally sitting between two large, potted ferns, Galifianakis treats his guests with a mixture of disdain and contempt. He is rude, obnoxious and profane. The celebrities go along with Galifianakis' oddball humor without missing a beat. So far, interviewees have included Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman, Ben Stiller and my personal favorite Michael Cera (call me immature if you will, but Galifianakis' insistance that Cera "tickle his thigh" is hilarious). Eight seven-minute segments have been posted so far.
