Bobbi Althoff disagrees with any accusation saying she took Funny Marco’s interview style and ran with it.

In a recent interview featuring Althoff and Marco both, as seen above, the former was asked how she feels about such comments.

“I say to that, that you took my stuff,” she joked on a recent episode of Marco’s Open Thoughts. “No, I know you didn’t. But to be fair, I couldn’t take your stuff because I had never seen you at all when I was already doing [videos].”

Per Althoff, who previously had Marco on an episode of her own Really Good Podcast series, she was actually introduced to Marco’s work through a friend who considered them both “so similar.” In fact, this was Althoff’s introduction to Marco’s interviews.

As for Marco, he shared a similar take on the topic, ultimately leading to Althoff expressing gratitude for their prior interview together having taken her “to different levels.” She also presented Marco with a gift in the form of a plastic bag full of cash.

Of course, when it comes to the interview styles employed by Althoff and Marco, it’s only right to tip several hats toward the Zach Galifianakis-starring Between Two Ferns, which made its debut back in 2008. One could rather easily argue that this performance art, or at least performance art-adjacent, interview style is not exactly a recent invention. Still, plenty of Internet personalities have taken on the form and made it their own, both Althoff and Marco included.

As for the Althoff comparisons, Lil Yachty made headlines last year for playfully making fun of Marco in connection with her post-interview success.

“Were you jealous that she just surpassed you and completely obliterated your existence?” Yachty joked to Marco at the time.
