I’m pretty sure that Zach shot his spitting before these other guys spit. http://www.adultswim.com/shows/timanderic/index.html Copy and pasted from my blog: Zach Galifianakis and Tim & Eric (of Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show – Great Job) teamed up to do online video skits for Absolut Vodka. Apparently Zach was commissioned by Absolut to do the videos and Zach brought Tim and Eric on board to help. It was done as part of Absoluts’ ongoing Absolut World campaign, designed to promote people’s “ideal realities.” Zach agreed to participate – as long as he got to do what he wanted without any restrictions. They did 2 videos. The first one was released early March of ‘08 and it ran. From what I have read, the second one never was “officially” released… but of course is running virally on the internet. That could be incorrect though. Maybe they did or will run it? The only restriction was that he had to mention Absolut Vodka in the skit. What you get is a lot of ice clattering, wig wearing, smart humor. Check out the Esquire Magazine take on the first video in the article The Five Reasons Why This Absolut Vodka Commercial Is Funny “Viewer reactions have varied from proclamations of genius to recriminations of utter stupidity. Sure, all comedy is a matter of taste—but how could one video be so polarizing? Well, let’s dissect it, explain it, and see why it turns out that, yes, it is indeed funny.” http://www.esquire.com/the-side/video/absolut-vodka-ad I could be wrong, but It appears that this Absolut series was shot in Feb or March. Writing probably began before that.
