His "interview schtick" just seems like Tom Green or Space Ghost.

Okay, I personally think Zach G. is hilarious. And I think it’s interesting that he’ll be headlining on offline comedy tour on college campuses to promote both the opening of “Semi Pro” and the Funny or Die site. (Although I take offense at the fact that they’re playing at UNC and not Duke!) Just as in Ask a Ninja Live, we’re seeing more and more of these folks extend their online fame by taking their brands into the “real” world — good move, if you can make it happen.

To be fair, Tim, Karina writes these in advance. Pre-publishing is a simple miracle of Wordpress.

@TimStreet: Both of Zach’s “hits” have been distributed across a variety of sites–Funny or Die, YouTube, his personal site, College Humor, Kanye West’s official site, etc–so the YouTube numbers alone don’t accurately measure their reach.

I got forwarded that Michael Cera clip and was like WTF? But yeah, I see the appeal.
