TV: Nathan For You

[VinylGuy]

Im re watching the HBO doc. Its truly bonkers. The way she talks haha jesus.

Im sure ill rewatxh The Dropout; i loved it when it came out and Amanda S is also on the Nathan doc so good moment to see it again

Kinda wild that I'm unfamiliar with Nathan Fielder's body of work.

Fix you

Yeah, I think some familiarity with at least some Nathan Fielder is necessary to be culturally literate at this moment. He's kind of a big deal

I think he’s more niche. He’s not exactly playing in Peoria

He’s one of the 100 most influential people in the world

Watched a few episodes. I respect this man's dedication to a bit, but I hope that no one get hurt. So far so good, but y'all's comments in this thread make me want to tread lightly.

The bit where he interviewed using prompts from a 7-year old had me laughing, as did the time he made a pig go viral for "rescuing" a goat.

I could be wrong, but I believe he was also named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive?

He can go too far. Season 1 of The Rehearsal is probably the most crystallized version of his schtick before he started breaking out of it the last couple projects, and I've always found it to be fairly cruel-hearted

Possibly. But I’d still put you and I ahead of him.

Wow.. okay. I just watched the handcuff/pantsing robot episode and I feel I've crossed a Nathan threshold.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Wild stuff there

[washing machine]

I've gotta think he would have shouted out to the police or the judge or someone to hit that button if he ran out of time. There's no way he would have gone through with it if he failed, right?

Him skyping his parents beforehand was priceless. His mom's reaction. Holy shit.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

He would have done it

When I was trying to get a friend into the show, this was the episode that won him over. Even just describing the premise of it makes you laugh

Fuck Yeah
