Zach Galifianakis told Brad Pitt he looks like "Hitler's dream" in the latest installment of his spoof chat show.
The 'Hangover' star sat down with the 'Fury' actor for an episode of his Funny or Die programme Between Two Ferns and their hilarious five-minute exchange saw Brad maintain a straight face while repeatedly insulted by the host.
Introducing him as 'Bradley Pitts', Zach opened the interview by saying: how old were you when you lost your virginity? Zero? I can tell you about when I lost my virginity."
Brad replied: "I'd really not like to hear that."
After then asking the hunky star why he "doesn't take showers", Zach then said: "You play a lot of people that are Nazi haters, which is weird to me - because you look like Hitler's dream."
Brad said: "Yes I understand the conundrum of it all."
The 42-year-old actor then asked his guest - who raises six children with wife Angelina Jolie - about his new movie 'Furry' and when it "comes out on DVD", before giving him a gift.
Picking up the colourfully-wrapped present, which was clearly a bong, a device for smoking marijuana, Brad asked what it was, and Zach said it was "a bassoon".
The 'Burn After Reading' star replied: "Oh I thought it was a bowling ball. You know I'm a dad now? I don't bassoon at my house anymore."
Midway through the interview Brad, 50, began to answer a question in detail for the first time when quizzed about his charity work with the Make It Right foundation, but was promptly cut short when Zach invited comic Louis C.K. onto the set for a brief stand-up set.
The chat then turned to Brad's personal life, with Zach asking: "Is it hard for you to maintain a sun tan? Because you live in your wife's shadow."
Brad choked on his gum and spat it onto the table, prompting the host to pick it up and put it in his mouth - but then returned it when his famous guest complained it was his "last piece".
The 'Birdman' star made his most daring joke in the interview when he asked if seeing Angelina for the first time was similar to the scene in 'Friends' "when Ross saw Rachel", referring to the character played by Brad's first wife Jennifer Aniston.
Brad simply rolled his eyes, then when Zach played the show's theme tune, replied: "I like that song."
The interview closed with the question: "Do you think people focus too much on your looks and don't realise you're just a s***ty actor?"
The 'Moneyball' star spat his gum into Zach's eye and barked, "Next question" before the credits rolled.

Emma Bunton says motherhood has "completely" changed her.
The 38-year-old singer-turned-radio presenter admits her priorities changed the minute she fell pregnant with her sons Beau,now seven, and Tate, three.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz about motherhood, Emma said: "100 per cent your priorities change completely. For me as soon as I fell pregnant, you know, my boys are everything to me.
She also squashed rumours that she and fiance Jade Jones are planning to add a third child to their brood.
Emma said: "Not at the moment, no. I've got two wonderful boys who are growing up far too fast for my liking but my youngest is still only three and is like my baby. I'm definitely not thinking about that yet."
The former Spice Girl has teamed up with Pampers UNICEF's '1 pack = 1 vaccine' campaign to help eliminate maternal and newborn tetanus.
After visiting families in Madagascar as part of the cause, Emma admitted that seeing the mothers in the African country made her re-evaluate her approach.
She said: "I came home and spoke to my children about it - even though one of them is far too young! Things like that change your whole outlook. We take things for granted we really do . We moan about we didn't get the right ice cream when we are pregnant and all those things but it really puts things into perspective. It was life changing and something that I'm so glad I've experienced."
Emma is proud to be part of the '1 pack = 1 vaccine' campaign where for every pack of Pampers sold, Pampers donates the cost of one maternal and newborn tetanus vaccine to UNICEF.

Taylor Swift "stalked" her fans to choose who to invite to her house.
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker hosted an intimate listening party for her new album '1989' and admits she investigated her devotees online before selecting who could attend the special events.
She said: "I wanted it to be super secret - not to be redundant - so what we did was contact all these fans that I'd been stalking on the internet.
"You kind of go on the internet and have a look at their Instagrams, maybe look at what their life is like, like 'cute cat, cute dog', and then I would send in the URL for their Twitter, their Tumblr, to my web team, and they compiled this list of people we were going to contact when the time came.
"So they were contacted, they were told 'meet in a church parking lot at this particular time, we can't tell you any more information other than it's Taylor Swift-related'.
"So then their phones were taken, they were put on bus
And the 24-year-old beauty admits she could be perceived as "creepy" because she "spied" on her fans in her house before introducing herself.
She said: "The first group didn't realise where they were until they were like snooping around and looking inside the windows of the house, and they see like a Grammy on the mantle, and pictures of my friends, and that was when... I was hiding in the bedroom, spying on them.
"I'm not coming off well! I'm coming off really creepy!"
Taylor invited 25 fans to her house and made it easy for them to steal mementos of their visit because she didn't want to be thought of as "unclean" when someone swiped her soap.
She explained to 'Chatty Man' host Alan Carr in an interview airing in the UK tomorrow (24.10.14): "I think, one of the soaps went missing. Because one of them was like 'she doesn't have any soap in her bathroom', and I was like 'well if there's no soap, it's because somebody took the soap'.
"So then I just put all these little soaps in the bathroom, so that if they wanted to take them they could. If you want to take the soaps, then I will make it readily available for you to steal them.
"At least no one's going to go without soap now, I don't want to come off as unclean."

Professor Green insists his altercation with a fan at a recent gig was just "rock 'n' roll".
The 30-year-old rapper was caught on camera getting into a scuffle in the middle of his gig at Durham University's Student Union Welcome Ball earlier this after a member of the audience shouted abuse at him and he can't understand why there has been such a fuss over the incident.
He said: "I don't reflect on things like that. Y'know, someone abuses you and throws their hand up at your face and then someone says that you slapped them and I'm like 'What?'. It just happened...
"What's happened to rock 'n' roll? Hit music used to be hitting people over the head with chairs, I don't understand why it's all become such a big thing."
The 'Remedy' hitmaker recently released his first new music in three years and is thrilled to be back at work.
Speaking about his return to music at the MOBO Awards in London last night (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "The next video I've got is going up on Monday. I'm just happy to be releasing music again, it's nice to feel like I've got a job again."
Following the row at the beginning of this month, a representative for the rapper, who is married to reality TV star Mille Mackintosh, confirmed that the star had got into an altercation with a fan during his set and the student was later escorted off the premises.
The spokesperson said: "During Professor Green's live show at Durham University on Friday night, a student verbally abused Green repeatedly and then went to strike him. Green reacted. The student was subsequently escorted out from the venue for being too drunk. Green carried on the show to perform his full set."

Ed Sheeran was very proud that five couples got engaged at one of his concerts.
The 23-year-old singer's music inspired several guys to pop the question at his show at The O2 arena in London on October 13 and he admits he was delighted to realise what was happening when he was on stage.
Speaking at the Xperia Access Q Awards on Wednesday (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I think it's great that my music inspired people to do that ... I was thinking though when the first guy proposed the other four guys must have been thinking, 'Oh no, that was my idea!' "
Ed is also pleased so many couples seem to have 'Give Me Love' or 'Tenerife Sea' as 'their song' as it would have been "weird" if the guys had proposed to his non-romantic tracks.
He added: "I'm glad they're getting engaged to the right songs, it would be a bit weird if they were proposing to 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You'."
Ed was named Best Solo Artist at the ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London, and took the opportunity on the red carpet to address Isle Of Wight Festival boss John Giddings' claim he was too "boring" to headline his event.
He said: "'I have no problem with him whatsoever and I hope he doesn't have a problem with me. I'm not one to hold a grudge ... Everyone's entitled to an opinion and fair play to him if he thinks that. I wasn't upset, a lot of people think I'm boring - I think other people are boring. It's fine and that's a normal thing to think ... I mean, there's never going to be a shortage of festivals for me to play at but there are a shortage of artists to play festivals."

Keanu Reeves saw a ghost when he was a child.
The 'John Wick' actor and his nanny were left freaked out when they came face-to-face with a mysterious floating jacket in their New York home.
Asked if he had ever seen a ghost, he told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: "Yes, when I was a kid. I was in New York -- I was probably like six or seven years old, new apartment, we'd come from Australia.
"Renata, our nanny, was in the bedroom, and there was a doorway and all of a sudden this jacket comes waving through the doorway, this empty jacket - there's no body, there's no legs.
"Then it just disappears, and I was a little kid and I thought, 'OK, that's interesting,' and I looked over at the nanny and she's like this [freak out face].
"Is that a ghost? Or just some weird floating jacket?"
The 50-year-old star also admitted he has met very few people who share his unusual first name, and the first person he met also named Keanu was a family member.
Asked if he has met other Keanus, he said: "Yes, I have a cousin.
"There's a cousin Keanu. I didn't meet that guy until I was eight or nine so I'd never heard that name for another human until that time."

John Cleese thinks money has spoiled the new James Bond films.
The 74-year-old entertainer starred in two Bond films - 'The World Is Not Enough' and 'Die Another Die' - but hasn't bothered to watch the most recent movie, 2012's 'Skyfall', arguing that recent scripts have been compromised by commercial interests.
Speaking to ShortList magazine, the 'Monty Python' funnyman explained: "I didn't see ['Skyfall'], because I have criticisms of the new Bond movies. Two things went wrong, the plots became so impossibly obscure that even professional writers couldn't figure out what they were about; and the action scenes, which are supposed to make the adrenaline run, go on far too long.
"They discovered these movies were popular in places such as the Philippines and South Korea, and so they dropped the humour because no one there is going to understand jokes about the British class system.
"They're financially incredibly clever, as the take goes up by $100 million every movie, but one of the great things I've learnt in the last few years is just how much money spoils everything."
And John- who's also appeared in the 'Harry Potter' franchise - extended his criticism to TV bosses, who he suggested often lack the foresight to see what will and won't be successful.
He explained: "If you look at the meeting that was held with the heads of department at the BBC when we did 'Python', seven out of nine of them thought the first show was a disaster. These are people who whose living is made out of making television programmes, and they couldn't see anything in a show that was about to influence most of the comics in the English-speaking world... They just couldn't see it."

Anne Hathaway went to Matthew McConaughey's house for a party - but was a day late.
The 'Interstellar' actress and her husband Adam Schulman was delighted to be invited to a surprise party in her co-star's honour by his wife Camila Alves but was left baffled when she arrived at their home and it was very quiet.
She recalled: "I knock on the door and Matthew answers the door, big smile on his face.
"I go, 'Surprise!' And he goes, 'Yeah, you've got to come in.' " Matthew turns around and goes, 'Party was last night.' "
While the 31-year-old actress was mortified about the mistake, everything turned out well in the end.
Speaking at the American Cinematheque tribute to Matthew at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Tuesday (21.10.14), she added: "Matthew said, 'Come inside. Let me pour you a glass of wine.' And then Matthew looks at me, very deeply, and says, 'Hey, we can be upset about this. We can be mad about this. Or we can go with it. And we can have a great story.' And that glass of wine led to the first bottle - I stopped counting after four.
"And then I went with him to someone's surprise birthday party that night that I crashed. And you know what? It was a great story and a lot of smiles because of it."
A host of Matthew's friends and co-stars paid tribute to him at the event, including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Chastain, while Kate Hudson recalled him going missing when he visited her at her parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's Canadian cabin - and coming across him "butt-naked" on a rock.
Kate - who starred with him in both 'Fool's Gold' and 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' - said: "I found him standing on a rock, butt-naked, howling [at the moon. I was like, 'OK - there's Matthew McConaughey.' "

Angelina Jolie thought it was "romantic" to wear Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck.
The 'Maleficent' actress and her ex-husband - who she married in 2000 and split from two years later - famously wore the vials of fluid during their relationship and the 'Fargo' star insists it was his former spouse's idea to cut their fingers to get the blood and wear them to feel closer to one another when they were working apart.
Speaking to students at Loyola Marymount University's School of Film & Television, he said: "A vial of blood is very simple. Angie came home one day with a kit she bought.
"You know those lockets you buy that are clear and you put a picture of your granny in it or something like that and wear it around your neck? That's what it was. She bought two of those. We were apart a lot because she's off making 'Tomb Raider' and I'm making 'Monster's Ball.' We were on opposite ends - we see each other for two weeks and whatever.
"She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razorblade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter's baby hair in one. Same thing."
The 59-year-old star joked the gesture was then exaggerated in reports.
He said: "From that, we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks.
"And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon."
The five-times married star insisted he prefers to be upfront about his past and thinks he is unusual in that respect.
He said: "I think it's your duty to kind of tell people the truth about this stuff and the truth is not encouraged anymore."
