It's now James Franco's turn to submit himself to the ritualized celebrity humiliation of Zach Galifianakis' ongoing web talk show, Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis (sample exchange: Zach: "Would you ever consider hosting the Oscars?" James: "I already did that." Zach: "I don't consider what you did 'hosting the Oscars.'"). Cover Story: The Uncensored Oral History of 'The Hangover' But the interview is cut short by the introduction of surprise musical guest The Lonely Island, with the parody rap group dropping by to debut the video for "Spring Break Anthem," a single off their forthcoming LP,

Today The Lonely Island kicked off their Wack Wednesdays promotion, in which they will release new material on their YouTube page every Wednesday until the release of The Wack Album on June 11. To start things off with a bang, Andy, Akiva and Jorma have teamed up with the Funny or Die series “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis” for an insane sort of mash up. »

While David Bowie's new music video represents the very heights of the format, with ambitious visuals, important themes and high production values, then the latest from The Lonely Island is the counterweight to that. Goofy, hilarious, and probably shot in about two days, it might not boast the biggest ideas or highest aspirations, but it's still pretty rad. Starting off as another episode of "Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis" with James Franco in the hot seat (because James Franco is in everything), it then cuts to musical guests The Lonely Island who drop their "Spring Break Anthem." And while it's expectedly immature and ridiculous, the concept takes the idea of extreme bro-ing out with your bros to the logical extension that Spring Break mayhem will end with dudes getting married. It's kind of genius, and also pretty awesome that Ed Norton pops up randomly in this. Anyway, give it a look below. »

Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are just some of the movie stars to appear in two special Oscar editions of Funny or Die internet series Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.
The episodes, entitled Oscar Buzz Edition, see Zach Galifianakis conducting irreverent interviews with the Academy Award hopefuls ahead of the ceremony on February 24.
In the videos Galifianakis chats to his Hangover co-star Cooper, who also appeared on the series in 2009, and the pair are seen having a spoof fight, with Galifianakis's fern plants bearing the brunt of Cooper's rage.
Lawrence also brands Galifianakis "fat" and says that he should refrain from eating any more pudding.
One interview sees Galifianakis asking Django Unchained star and BAFTA winner Christoph Waltz whether he has ever considered changing his surname to breakdance.
Guests on Galifianakis's show, which has been running since 2008, aren't informed of what he will ask them ahead of appearing. »

We last saw Zach Galifianakis making Tina Fey uncomfortable in Between Two Ferns: A Fairytale of New York. After a year hiatus, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis returned yesterday with Part 1 of the Oscar Buzz Edition. Today we have Part 2 of this special episode, where Zach sits down with Oscar nominees Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Sally Field (Lincoln), and Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook). There is also another "star" from Lincoln that pops by, but we don't want to ruin the surprise.

For the second day in a row, Funny Or Die released a new episode of "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis" featuring some of this year's crop of Oscar nominees. Jessica Chastain, Sally Field and Bradley Cooper show up in this episode to get the full, deadpan Galifianakis treatment.
After ribbing Chastain and Field (he asked Field about gaining weight for "Lincoln": "How'd you do it? Eat Anne Hathaway?"), he was excited to interview the "Lincoln" star himself, before he realized his producers had booked not Daniel Day-Lewis, but Emmanuel Lewis of "Webster."
But the real highlight of the episode was Zach's interview with his "Hangover" co-star Bradley Cooper, who's nominated for "Silver Linings Playbook." After Zach reveals that he wrote an Oscar speech for Cooper, which was actually a concession speech to Daniel Day-Lewis, Cooper let his annoyance with his fellow Wolf Packer get the best of him »

It's been about ten months since the last episode of Funny or Die series Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, but I guess to make up for the delay, they're breaking out all the stars. In the first of a two-part "Oscar Edition", the show's guests include Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), Naomi Watts (The Impossible), Christ of Waltz (Django Unchained), Anne Halfway (French Movie), and Amys Adams (The Master). Watching these brief interviews, I wish they were expanded out into full segments, but I'll take as much of Between Two Ferns as I can get. Hit the jump to check out the latest episode of Between Two Ferns. Via Funny or Die. »
