Many people saw him on the last week of The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien, but for those who are unaware, Pee-Wee Herman has returned to the world of entertainment. He’s currently performing live all over California, and doing lots of promotions and now his newest “endorsement” for Apple and Steve Jobs.
Funny or Die recently posted a video of Pee-Wee (Paul Reubens) discussing Apple’s newest product, the iPad, with his playhouse pals. Having revived the characters from the classic children’s program, Herman and classic characters Conky, Magic Screen and Mappy, discuss the new product, which they all confuse with sanitary napkins, tampons, and even a drink tray.
Plus Mappy shows us how even he can perform two applications at once. Funny stuff.
Check out the video after the jump.

For those unaware, one of the best and most poignant talk shows isn’t on network or cable television — it’s actually only on Funny Or Die. The show? Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifiniakis. The comedic relief from such films and TV shows as The Hangover and Bored To Death hosts a satire of bad local interview shows with some of his Hollywood friends, and each are funnier than the last.
Lately, he has had such guests as Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, Charlize Theron, and even fellow Hangover star Bradley Cooper. His most recent episode had the dynamic duo of late night TV, Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter. Zach has a bit of a problem with Conan, and he doesn’t hide it very well.
Check out the video behind the jump, courtesy of FunnyOrDie.com, and be sure to keep your eye on Zach G and his upcoming endeavors, as he’s on the way to toppling Will Ferrel for Hollywood’s King of Comedy.

Some may think shows like The Tonight Show or The Daily Show are the go-to programs when it comes to compelling interviews with celebrities or people of interest. Those people would be dead wrong. If you want to know what’s really going on in the world of celebrity, look no further than Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis.
Galifianakis is not only a rising star in the comedy world, thanks to this summer’s The Hangover, but he also takes time to host his faux interview web series in which he invites stars like Jon Hamm, Natalie Portman, and even co-star of The Hangover Bradley Cooper. If you’re asking, then yes: each episode takes place between two ferns.
Zach’s latest interview is with international starlet Charlize Theron. They chat about things ranging from her names, her sick dog, and jumping into the naked pool. Check out the Funny or Die exclusive after the jump.

Zachary Quinto went from obscurity, to rising star, then all the way to blockbuster actor in a matter of months. In that time, we got to see him as a good guy, a bad guy, a bad guy pretending to be a good guy, and a Vulcan. Not once have we seen Quinto stretch his comedic muscles. . . until now.
Funny or Die has developed a great niché by taking some of our favorite actors and putting them in some pretty outstanding skits. You may remember the Ballad of G.I. Joe a few weeks back. Well now, the site has left room for Zachary Quinto’s debut as a crazed criminal who takes a liking to one of his hostages.
Check out the very NSFW video after the jump, and enjoy Quinto’s Spockian ways when Star Trek hits DVD stores November 17th.

With both Land of the Lost and The Hangover opening, it looks to be a side-splitting weekend in the world of film. So, what better way to start it off than by watching an old Funny-or-Die classic in Will Ferrell’s Bat Fight.
If you’re wondering what’s up with Ferrell’s long platinum hair, the short was shot on the set of a The Flickcast favorite, Eastbound & Down while Ferrell was filming a cameo from last season. This parody short is about a game of both honor and diplomacy…oh, and killing your opponent with a baseball bat.
The short also stars The Office’s Craig Robinson. Check it out after the jump.
