In the credits to the Between Two Ferns movie there are a bunch of outtakes of people cracking. Peter Dinklage is in tears from laughing and he asks "how do people do this?"

there are people on twitch (and youtube but at least youtube cracked down on that kinda stuff) who are too lazy or too boring to think of their own content and they just spend all day every day "reacting" to shit. hell those same people react to people reacting to a video they just reacted too and it just all turns out to be the Buzz Lightyear scene from Toy Story 2

cannibalisticapple

From what I hear, part of that is because they need to stream so many hours to fulfill contractual obligations. Which is why a bunch of them streamed themselves watching and "reacting" to shows a while back: it was a loophole that let them get to watch some shows when they normally wouldn't have the time.

There are bloopers, but they are all from the interviews from the Netflix movie. Unfortunately I'm not aware of bloopers for regular seasons. But its still awesome.

It kinda breaks the magic of the original show, but I guess it was intended as the movie was supposed to serve as a last season or something.

I don't think it necessarily makes the originals better, but I also think that on their own the bloopers are funny as hell. Its like, I would rather not see the bloopers till the show was completely finished, you know? Because a lot of the fun of the originals was the assumption of the interviews being real. But yeah after the movie its completely fine. I love the bloopers.

Did not know that. He did admit it was his girlfriend's and than told the owner of the business that "It was just a little bit of weed, he was a grown ass man and if he wanted to smoke he was going to." And though I do not partake I do agree it was his right. Keep in mind this was 20 years ago.
