Hillary Was Hilarious on “Between Two Ferns”… in a Bad Way… and it Was Painful

[brid video=”65396″ player=”2077″ title=”Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis Hillary Clinton”]

Hillary Clinton is not as cool or as funny as Barack Obama or Donald Trump, and her hilarious appearance on “Between Two Ferns” was painful to watch. The only winner in this 5-minute exchange, which was meant to be an attempt to attract younger voters, was Zach Galifianakis, the host of the web series.

The former secretary of state actually said she regretted the interview in a comment that was unclear whether it was meant to be a joke, but she should. It was a total flop that millennial and younger voters–many of whom are either taking a hard look at her Republican rival or third-party candidates–are going to see right through.

President Barack Obama used the The Funny Or Die forum to push ObamaCare when enrollment was flopping in 2014, but Mrs. Clinton used it to just flop.

“As secretary [of state], how many words per minute could you type?” the host and comedic actor said. “And how does President Obama like his coffee? Like himself? Weak?”

“You know, Zach, those are really, really out-of-date questions. You need to get out more,” Mrs. Clinton said in a not-at-all funny response.

“What happens if you become pregnant? Are we going to be stuck with Tim Kaine for nine months?” he asked.

The worst part of the interview was her attempt to be serious and give serious answers.

Galifianakis at one point claimed that she’d told him off air that she is going to take Americans’ guns away.

“I really regret doing this,” Mrs. Clinton said.

At what was perhaps the most entertaining moment, Galifianakis interrupted the interview to play “a word from our sponsor,” which was a campaign commercial for Donald Trump. He ended the interview by telling Mrs. Clinton the two should stay in touch and asking her a question.

“What’s the best way to reach you? Email?”
