Last week, Funny or Die released the newest episode of 'Between Two Ferns', the comedy sketch that sees actor Zach Galifianakis plumbing new depths of cringe as the most awkward talkshow host ever. The episode, featuring actor Brad Pitt, was a viral sensation online, and one of the most viewed articles on the Newstalk site when we posted it.
But it seems not everyone is in on the joke...

Channel Nine News was left out of the loop on this one, and made all the worse when one of their reporters tweeted the following:
