Nathan For You

Can the Emmys be Hacked? I asked an important question and got a frightening answer. https://t.co/wcJ0MLTwM6

shocking to say the least...and really shocking to say the most

maura that's really great

the quick edit during the kid talking about orange at the beginning cracks me up

I finally started watching this show after putting it off

This is not a bingeable show, and I mean that in the best possible way. Because holy shit, so awkward

I watched one episode a couple years ago and I haven't worked up the nerve for a second yet. Is it streaming on something?

Nathan is less a straight man than an incredibly awkward man. Any moment he starts to lose control of the situation or is about to break character, he responds in the most awkward way possible. It's not usually anything that's wrong enough to draw immediate anger, it's just.. what the fuck, this guy just doesn't know how to interact with people!

like even feeling for a sec that his character is relatable is the most cringe-worthy thing

silby, it's on hulu now

I'm still pretty early in the series but the whole reality show part of "The Hunk" where you're not sure if the women think they're on a real Bachelor-style show, or if they just know it's being taped for.. something.. was so weird. The woman who was asked "what's your deepest, darkest secret?" and the huge pause where she's making facial expressions that start at questioning, going through several emotions until she just looks like she's in a dark place.. was she doing that because she wants to be an actress and was trying to create a lot of footage so they'd cut in some of it? Was she really thinking about it and thought of something really unsettling?

just so great when she goes with "I hate wearing socks"

cringeable show

I just had to revisit the clip of the Uber passenger freaking out over the driver's refusal to stop blaring 'Mambo No. 5'.

I might need to rewatch the entire series right now.

a little bit of nathan in your life

I just watched Vampyr (1932) for the first time last night, and I don't know if the timeline works out but I'm pretty sure the main actor was Nathan Fielder. If not, I would like to commission a remake ASAP.

rip

good choice i think. end it on a high note

Somehow I fell out of watching this two episodes into season 4 but I just watched all of it except the Melinda episode and goddamn, what a show.

was thinking yesterday that a bar rescue type show with a MacGruber-esque host would be really good. then I remembered that Nathan For You is that show.

tivo alert: comedy central are rerunning the last two part ep this sunday and monday am

not Melinda, Frances

the dude's Bill Gates impression is solid

Some dude is doing Nathan For You stuff for real, except Nathan For You was already real, and this is also an intentional comedy, so I guess it's just cruelty-free Nathan For You.

also comedy-free

yeah i dunno if it's possible to do nathan for you schtick without being cruel.

Watching a terrible knockoff is useful in appreciating all the subtle things Nathan's show does so well. Apart from the absurdism, the awkward tension and editing that makes it so hilarious is there even in brief clips.

definitely. i was watching the Smokers Allowed episode last night, and really appreciated one of the edits from the audition/casting scenes where the actor was kept walking toward the door even as nathan was telling him he got the part

Nathan Fielder's show is going to be studied in business schools seriously within 10 years

for the conspiracy theorists out there: adult swim recently rescreened the final two part episode for (what I believe is) the first time since it originally aired. It was on at 3am on Saturday and Sunday. The entire endgame sequence, starting from the moment Nathan and Bill drive to Francis' house up until the scene where Bill gives Nathan the serving dish, was missing. That means the phone call in the car to Francis was cut. Wondering if this wasn't necessitated by a lawsuit and if the unexpurgated version is likely to be shown on television ever again.

I thought things were dirty last time, but this time it's...filthy

Wow, thank you https://t.co/3KvfwUgUSO

kinda awesome that the "Claw of Shame" opening clip is just going viral now

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/nathan-fielder-sets-hbo-overall-deal-docu-series-and-comedy-pilot-exclusive-1203299428/

Nathan Fielder has signed a one year overall deal at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively.

Under the deal, Fielder will serve as executive producer on”How To…With John Wilson,” which has been ordered to series at HBO, and an untitled comedy pilot in which Fielder will star as well as write and direct.

hell yeah

hope nathan for you is still on tho!

the John Wilson shorts can be seen here for now

hope nathan for you is still on tho!

I doubt it, or at least not for some time. I can see a one-off special in a few years maybe

I think he said NFY was basically over in an interview

I remember something about how S3 & S4 struggled a bit with finding people who didn't recognize what kind of show it was - he's not exactly a household name but the show's popularity sorta worked against it. plus it was apparently a very difficult show to film, because you couldn't go out of order and you just had so much footage

I'll miss it but I'm excited for whatever's next, hopefully it won't be as uncomfortable to watch

why deny him his strongest comedic asset?

more awkwardness, please

I imagine it was quite taxing to produce; intrigued to see what he has coming up.

it is so weird watching him try to act

Meet your new TV-comedy dream team: Nathan Fielder and the Safdie brothers. According to Deadline, the former Nathan for You star and Uncut Gems directors have a new TV project in the works at Showtime, and it sounds very promising. Titled The Curse, the half-hour comedy pilot is about “how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple who star in Flipanthropy, their troubled HGTV show.” Fielder will star as the husband, while Benny Safdie will play the producer of the HGTV show. Fielder is credited with writing the pilot, while the Safdie brothers will direct and executive produce.

I was hoping this would be for the Fielder/Safdies show but this also looks dope!

thought the bump was gonna be for this
