Remember a couple of years ago when Between Two Ferns was just another wonderfully enjoyable web series starring a favorite but little-known comedian interviewing whoever was available? Now it’s a full-fledged viral marketing tool for the full-fledged movie stars that are in it, and no one is a little-known comedian anymore. This week’s new episode came to my attention in a publicity email from Paramount for Dinner for Schmucks. (Last spring a similar thing happened when Zach interviewed Bradley Cooper on the eve of The Hangover, but even that was a different time and a different episode of Between Two Ferns.) Still, the world spins on its axis. And you can’t get mad at it, you guys. It’s great! If this is what viral marketing is these days, PLEASE MAKE MORE VIRAL MARKETING, FACELESS UNCARING CORPORATIONS. If anything, my hope is that this can just become an honest-to-goodness real show on television. Zach Galifianakis could interview a box of soap with corrupt Big Soap money falling out of his breast pocket and I would watch it. Gladly.

I’m watching this in my Gap Premium Fucking Denim Jeans. EXPLORE THE STREAM.
I certainly prefer viral marketing to ENORMOUS UNZIPPING PANTS
You mean you don’t enjoy feeling like you’re violating your browser every time you click on a link?!
JESUS THESE PEOPLE GOT THEIR JEANS IN MY GUM
I don’t know, I’m okay with opening my jeans and finding Steve Carell & Zach Galifiankis. I mean, it might be hard to explain to a woman, but in the the end I feel like everything would work out.
What with Steve’s charm and Zach’s propensity for molestation, I’m sure a good time can be had by all.
Charming molestation is my favorite type of molestation and my second favorite type of charm.

Does that mean our comments are the equivalent of a denim-chaffed penis?
Easy on the profanity, Osh Kosh.
But are they available in jorts?
And, if so, can I wear shorts under them?
So we’re at a consensus. This Gap ad is the Gweneth Paltrow of ads.
you mean everything indicates we ought to hate them, but in the end, we don’t really and there’s something kind of endearing? And by “endearing,” I mean (and I only do this because it seems like Mr. Winwood’s still sleeping off last night’s Showbiz blowout) “pretty.”
I’m confused by all of this, because as a Canadian (so socialism, duh), the only ads I ever see on Videogum are for Stereogum. And I never click on them.
It’s like Iike I’m stealing all these laughs directly from Gabe’s wallet.

Hey Gabe? Remember how you felt when singing telegrams kept interrupting Amos ‘n’ Andy?
“Will these infernal telegrams never cease?”, I bet you asked to no one in particular.
Blah blah blah NO LOGO aside, everybody has to put food on his or her blog, and I could watch Steve Carell say “fuck you” all day long.
Yeah, definitely the best line was “Evan Almighty, of course! Fuck you!”
Aww, he looks like a mini Don Draper.
Why am I not important enough to get publicity emails from movie companies?
Oh, what a wonderful way to start the day.
At least we now know how videogum paid to send Gabe to ComiCon. With jeans!
This is great. And here’s Fabrice Fabrice interviewing Steve Carell: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/2e1ebf512f/fabrice-fabrice-interviews-steve-carell — “You should put me on the orifice.”

I put off watching this clip all day because I was afraid it wouldn’t be funny. I am afraid no longer.
Anyone remember the short lived “Late World with Zach Galifianakis”? That’s what first turned me on to Zach and when Zach first turned me on. Wait, what?
