roger-d-weiss Review of Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis (2008– )

The script (if there is one) tries too hard to be funny

[1/10 · 5 September 2021]

I love satire, wit and clever humor. But this is simply not funny.

The script is partly to blame, then the direction, and then Zak's poor execution.

But I can see it will appeal to certain viewers, probably mostly American.

The guests are obviously told to have a bland or uncomfortable look in their face when asked apparently awkward questions by Zak, but it's like a weak skit.
