The Top 5 'Between Two Ferns' Episodes So Far

Between Two Ferns Funny or Die

Here lies a true fact: There have only been 17 total episodes of Zach Galifianakis' "Between Two Ferns." Doesn't that surprise you? Meaning, it surprises me, so shouldn't it surprise you?

The esteemed Funny or Die web series has made such a massive comedic impact in such a limited amount of time that the idea that it exists as only a mere 80ish minutes of total running time is downright absurd. And here's the kicker: They're all gold. There's not a single episode of BTF that one would call "weak," just "weaker than the exceptional." Get More »

'Dodgeball 2:' You Can Dodge A Wrench, But You Can't Dodge Destiny

Fox Fox

It's only fitting that the hit 2004 comedy "Dodgeball" was subtitled "A True Underdog Story" considering it cost just $20 million to make and earned over $167 million worldwide. So given that fact, you would assume a sequel would be a no brainer. Yet for nearly a decade now, the only thing stars Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn have been dodging is questions about when they were going to reunite.

Until now, that is, as according to The Hollywood Reporter, Stiller and Vaughn are teaming up once again for "Dodgeball 2." Hey, better late than never. Get More »

Ben Stiller in "Zoolander" Paramount

Take a look at your grandma's wall of cross-stitch mottos and inspirational slogans and grab one — doesn't matter which one, pretty much any of them will apply to this story.

"Better late than never"? Okay!

Whatever darlingly framed handicraft you chose, keep it in mind now: Legendary movie critic Roger Ebert, whose recent passing rocked the community, took back a review. Get More »

Watch Zoolander Watch Models Fall Down

No one ever said modeling was an easy job, and if they did, they'd be wrong because have you seen these gals? It's pretty clear that, for some bowlegged beauties, walking in a straight line in heels can be a total bitch.

Appropriately, just in time for New York Fashion Week, style icon and male model "Zoolander" takes in the best supermodel FAILS on all the interwebs (already a classic viral compilation), and laughs til it hurts. And he's brought the whole gang with him to point, stare, and cackle, including David Bowie, Tyson Beckford, and Owen Wilson. Will Ferrell says it best when, as Jacobim Mugatu, he whines that he feels like he's "taken crazy pills," which may very well be the case if you watch enough of these gaffes in a row.

Because, hey, sometimes putting one foot in front of the other and looking really angry (or just very, very hungry) is a really tough job, you guys! Zoolander gets it!

Original Poster vs. Blu-ray: Ben Stiller Presents... 'Heavyweights'?

Disney

Ben Stiller may be able to throw his weight around in Hollywood now, but in 1995, he was just embarking on his Hollywood career.

The new cover art for the Dec. 11 Blu-ray re-release of the mid-90s classic kid comedy "Heavyweights," however, would lead you to believe otherwise.

Stiller played a bit part in the movie: Tony Perkins, the militaristic fitness instructor who runs the Camp Hope summer weight loss program the film's young (and hefty) stars attend. He doesn't even make the first page of the movie's credited stars on IMDb! Get More »

Justin Theroux might look like a bad boy, but he's a romantic at heart. The screenwriter/ actor proved he's ready to put a ring on it when he popped the question to his girlfriend of just under 18 months on his 41st birthday.

"Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," his rep confirmed to People.

The couple first met roughly five years ago when he worked on the set of "Tropic Thunder"—a movie Theroux co-wrote with Ben Stiller — and later co-starred in "Wanderlust." Get More »

Keep Your Eye On These 5 'The Watch' Clips

The Watch
20th Century Fox

Director Akiva Schaffer of Lonely Island has assembled a dream team of comic actors and assembled them for a supergroup under the name of "The Watch."

In the quiet suburb of Glenview, Ohio, four buddies — Evan (Ben Stiller), Bob (Vince Vaughn), Franklin (Jonah Hill) and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade) — form a local neighborhood watch group with the idea of using it as an outlet to score hot chicks and exert their authority. What they didn't bargain for was an all-out alien invasion.

'The Watch' Red Band Outtakes Put the Comedy in Sci-Fi

The Watch
20th Century Fox

"Serenity. Optimism. Attack!"

"The Watch" has had something of a troubled past. Originally titled "Neighborhood Watch," it promptly changed its name upon the aftermath of Sanford, Florida Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman killing Trayvon Martin. The real-life tragedy also made Fox executives re-think the film's marketing approach, which resulted in the film's fantasy element — the alien invasion, an aspect the studio had originally held close to the vest — suddenly emerging front and center.
