Tig Notaro is renowned for her deadpan send-ups of everyday life. Her humor dances with audience expectations about language and discourse to expose our own surprising assumptions about what we mean when we talk. Her approach is so unconventional that it takes another comedian wholly free from convention to meet her halfway: Zach Galifianakis. This mock interview from an early Tig series, by disrupting our notions of how to interact, sets us up to see the absurdity of the normal. That insight is a gift to us and so are the belly laughs it provokes.
