Zack uses his appearance, tension, juxtaposition of his body and style, and the viewer's expectations to produce mood and humor.
He flips Michael Sera's (in "Between Two Ferns") awkward shtick into a real moment of terror, as he interrupts his serious story about his sick brother to tickle his thigh!
See his Fiona Apple and Kanye West's video remixes. Check his Adult Swim character "the Snuggler"
So it's not Helvetica, but there's a lot to learn here; like loosening up.

If you're from outta town, you must check Printed Matter.
They carry zines, prints, guys with beards & and short run art books from all over the world--something like 70% of their inventory is under 25$. They nurture a community of artists and writers with readings, curated shows and I'm not, not promising weird nude art books. It's the most inspiring store in NYC. It will become your Rushmore.
10th Ave bet. 21st and 22nd street.

The 62 are my favorite. Go to their site, and you too will be believers.
"We consider our workspace a laboratory where we tinker, romanticize, cook and converse about notions of self-sufficiency, sustainability, beauty, building communities and the possibilities of using art to make that happen."
They were last years AIGA's fresh dialog.
They were my people and my neighbors in Emergency Arts.
And they continue to blow minds.
