My old pal Rikki got to interview Tim and Eric of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show for Fader. Not only am I super jealous of this, I’m also super excited about the latest installment of their commercials with Zach Galifianakis is included.
I don’t know how much further we can take 4th wall breaking, super aware advertising anymore, but this renews my faith in what we’ve always wanted to do: Get companies to pay people we like to make hilarious and awesome things.
Branded Utility, indeed!

i would watch anything with zach galifianakis in it - the ad itself is sort of meh, but I like it just because they're paying him and that means he can keep making other funny things. The tagline at the end though...about friend getting together - they could have done without that. sort of seemed slapped on.
