Ace and Gary: The Ambiguously Gay Duo

So, fifteen years ago, I always had sort of mixed feelings about The Ambiguously Gay Duo. Was it funny or was it making fun of gays?
I also had no idea who the voices were at that point:
Ace is played by Stephen Colbert and Gary is played by Steve Carell

Well, they had them again last night and I've decided it's hilarious especially how stupid everyone else is while Ace and Gary are so secure with themselves.

It was the highlight of SNL last night; Ace, Gary and everyone else get hit by ray that makes them real so it becomes live action.
Ace: Jon Hamm
Gary: Jimmy Fallon
Bighead: Steve Carell
Dr. Brainio: Stephen Colbert
Also, Ed Helms and Fred Armisen



I know it's not very plausible but I kind of want more live action Ace and Gary, maybe a webseries?

I remember Strangers with Candy from Comedy Central. Stephen Colbert was such a baby face.

I think that was the point of Will Ferrell's character, that he was supposed to be unliked and pave the way for Dwight like on the original.

Yeah, I know your right. I just kept waiting for him to do something funny and it never happened. I felt "laugh teased". ;) Especially, after the Beastie Boys video, which also had Rainn Wilson and Will Arnett (and every comedian in Hollywood, as well, just like the new boss interviews.)

However, unlike Gareth, Dwight's reign was short-lived and probably more believable.

I totally agree. Dwight's reign was definitely more believe-able and kind of sad how it went down. I felt bad for Dwight. He was actually an effectual boss(ie he got the job done despite no one liking him or his policies) but he let his ego/fantasy life get the better of him. I really liked how they handled his exchange with Jo at the end.

let me rephrase that.
He was hysterical in the "trailer" for the Beastie Boys video.
