god, kirsten dunst telling a wedding anecdote with a drug mixup story just before nathan is just the best thing ever
(also, even in that little snippet they show - she didn't realize the weed in the blunt was real until AFTER they smoked the whole thing? no wonder it was the highest she'd ever been, that was probably her first time)

In time the Earth will have to stomach what we spewAnd face the trees we killed before they grewFrom your disconnected heart youPlay the part, and take it to heartIt's true you believe in every word you saySpied one relevance releaseThe hard truth sink in latchYou would sit the spot, incentivize the plot intoThe monetary value you can frameInto something heavenly unveilTo God still link at once to justify your work or rectify your curse
So when we look up at the sunHer eyes go wide, we hear the humOf our faith, our hopeful eyesWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesIt's time to revolutionizeIt's time to revolutionizeWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesWe're bringing home those orphaned skies
Times are shifting, you can feel it in the swayYou can feel it in the words our hearts conveyThe rhythm of these anxious handsThe melody expands in order to enchant andProve there's beauty to be had within the danceOf sunlight in the ocean's lulling tranceIt's time to open up our heartsI'm groping in the darkAnd bring the world out from its tomb
So when we look up at the sunHer eyes go wide, we hear the humOf our faith, our hopeful eyesWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesIt's time to revolutionizeIt's time to revolutionizeWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesIt's time to revolutionizeIt's time to revolutionizeWe're bringing home those orphaned skiesWe're bringing home those orphaned skies

Smoke detector episode was a bust
Felt pretty bad for the band members too
― Number None, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link
if you don't like the cringier moments of the show then definitely don't watch this last episode
that said the implication that Nathan's plan actually kinda did work in the end was pretty amusing

My wife is not a fan of the current season. She felt the past seasons had more emotion/heart to them. Which might be true! Smokers Allowed, the Hero episode, those things are emotionally epic and in many ways thought provoking. The new season is mostly just ... weird.

The cut to Maria Garcia's face with the messed-up lipstick right as Salomon is asking her out is one the most brutal jokes in the history of the show. I have to say, Nathan's treatment of Salomon makes me uncomfortable in general, in much the same way that his continued targeting of business owners with a shaky grasp of English creeps me out a bit.

given that he devotes an entire 18 months of his life to produce four hours of TV I guess that's understandable

oic. yeah, seems understandable tbh.
he's got the cutest sad look, i'm sorry, but it's true.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 10 November 2017 17:18 (six years ago) link
He mixes convincing realness + the Nathan For You character so well, especially in this last episode. Like when he had the escort watch an episode in front of him. He was being the Nathan For You character acting as if out of character: not acknowledging the show is a comedy but also not denying it, going along with the accusation that he is lying to people but not suggesting it's for humor. It's a weird overlap.
― Evan, Friday, 10 November 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
That subtitle addition could simply be a joke, his actual feelings and a joke at once, his character's feelings and a joke... who knows.
― Evan, Friday, 10 November 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
So much pathos. Watching the finale felt like watching a tragicomedy by Samuel Beckett.
― davey, Friday, 10 November 2017 21:28 (six years ago) link
Wow, this episode. My wife said it was super weird (it was) but redeemed all the episodes this season she didn't like. At the same time, this was the first time she literally had to cover her eyes once in discomfort.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 11 November 2017 05:03 (six years ago) link
The way this one shifted from tragic to hopeful to scary to weird to sad to sentimental ... I noticed there were, what, 6 or 7 credited writers on it? I wonder how they put something like this episode together.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 11 November 2017 05:04 (six years ago) link
It's sadly fitting that when Nathan's NFY character finally finds a semblance of human connection, it's through a relationship that's really an ongoing business transaction.

nathan must have been burning through comedy central's money at some rate w/maci

anyone know why the last ep isn't on amazon?
― dynamicinterface, Saturday, 11 November 2017 13:25 (six years ago) link
What did he say the anecdote episode cost, $300,000? That would pay for over 40 24-hour days of Maci, at around her rate. Now that would be a funny episode, if instead of the girlfriend experience he wanted the wife experience (I could have sworn he was going to propose in this one) and he paid her her going rate to basically move in with him and do mundane domestic stuff for a month or two.

I have mixed feelings about it. It's a departure from the show's main shtick, for one thing. It seems like Nathan wanted to show what people don't often see: the lonely old man who's lived a life of regret, the escort on her dates, and Nathan himself being called out as a liar, all of which was uncomfortable to watch. But I like Samuel Beckett and I like this, even if it's less entertaining than, say, Nathan inventing an absurd way for obese people to ride horses. (That episode almost killed me laughing.) The finale is another brand of absurdist performance, and it's heavier and probably a little more philosophical, and I appreciated the anticlimax. But TBH I did hope for more lolz, hah.
