zach g.

from the early moments of his
late night vh1 special that evaporated as quickly
as whence it had
come
mr. galifianakis has made us spit up blood with
laughter
staring at us behind the beard
(which he actually shaved in real time as a gimmick to get
people to watch his show which got canceled anyway),
and peering into our most inner being with those
beady eyes,
muttering comments that remind of us of the great stephen
wright,
while at the time zonking us with an odd sort of wit
that might be spawned if will ferrell was sitting around a
little card table eating bite-sized sandwiches with some of the
guys from Kids in the Hall.

he came bumbling into most people’s conversations when
in The Hangover as alan,
who wooed us all with his declaration of the
one man wolf pack---
after that, many people
began to warm up to his special brand of oddity,
following him on his uphill movie career,
while at the same time
sitting down to watch the genius conjure his magic
while he himself
sits down between two large ferns in crappy elementary school
lunchroom chairs
to interrogate celebrities &
tickle our funny bones even further.

a particularly unique attribute of zach’s is how he chooses to
deal with
hecklers
who interrupt him during his stand-up---
at his show he invited a person who had been talking in the front row
up on stage with him &
subsequently got to know her,
weaving it all into his act,
while never losing his audience &
never ceasing the continuous laughter---
let us hope that zach’s comedic life only progresses &
that we are lucky enough to witness it,
while holding our stomachs in a perpetual
guffaw.
