If only Fred did these every week. These are gems.

[marvinmartin]

These conversations are just so absurd! Love it!

[norikadolmy]

I was watching parks and rec yesterday and recognized Fred, he was playing a Venezuelan diplomatic visitor from pawnee's sister city. Fred was absolutely hysterical!

[lizard]

This just reminds me of the apple picking sketch on SNL, it was a gem and I think accurately portrays what Fred thinks apple picking is like

[bc]

This also works with vineyards but instead of wines, you sample books

[AroundTheWorldWithEase]

"Documentary Now!" w/Seth, Fred + Bill Hader is platinum-level stuff.

[nannerz]

"okay these are apples fantastic"

[angiebear]

Despite the ridiculous premise. Sounds kind of nice to drink some warm apple cider and cozy up with a book. It’s gonna be cool and rainy so think I’ve got my plan for the day.😊

[NewMessage]

bring your own apples. problem solved.

[Forgetalltheshootingstars]

I love when SNL cast members assemble in other show😭

[hopolo]

life is full of possibilities. the improbable is where the humor lies.

[marqueshawalker]

FA is that one friend that is always dead ass whenever he speaks but u think hes just playing around!!😂😂

[leilaniaileenlove]

I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Loved him in Portlandia 😊

[handlaidtracksanddprinted]

Fred has the best names for his projects!

[bobwiegers]

I still want to know if these are truly improv or if Fred knows beforehand.

[bradleykempker]

Fred is the reason why I watch this show😂

[Summer-no]

You’re sooo hilarious!! Hello from Glendale, Utah which is holding it’s annual Apple Festival this week! Would be historic if you showed up & taught us how to be intellectual while picking apples!😂😂 Actually the most intelligence I have is in the NOT PICKING! Able to buy a box for $10! Take care & thanks for making us all laugh, especially in light of the last couple weeks!

[TheGiggleMasterP]

Is this going to be called Barns & Noble Apples? 😂😅

[hokied]

Why wouldn't he call it F'ArmiStand? Real missed opportunity...unless that's what he's calling his roadside farm stand where you aren't allowed to touch the produce, but are highly encouraged to peruse and discuss the vinyl record collection. 🤔

[AlGuien]

the name should be "The Book Worm"
