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"

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.

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.

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.

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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owUWiWkFoCQ

also comedy-free

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.
― dinnerboat, Monday, 5 November 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
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 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
― frogbs, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 21:40 (four years ago) link
why deny him his strongest comedic asset?
more awkwardness, please

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.
