Didn't see the other thread my guy just googled The Rehearsal and posted like the second image I don't know what you want from me I just want to talk about Nathan Kino
>you've exposed me as a fake. you've FRICKING ruined the entire thing
I wasn't paying attention at the end and didn't notice them slip the guy pretending to be Kor in
Oh I know, I just thought it was kor who really said that. Wasn't paying full attention and didn't see they edited the clip of the double saying it. Was pretty good
That can't be it because I'm racist and I got it right away.
Same here. Face blindness is a b***h and this show made me realize either half of you morons have it or the speedwatcher meme is far more widespread of an actual thing than I imagined
On the one hand she was annoying as frick and liked the sound of her own voice way too much. Ont he other hand she was super chill about accepting his apology. I honestly don't know what to think of her. Her actress replacement mogs her tho.
Fake Trisha was so much better than real Trisha.
This part was infuriating. I watched and yelled at Kor because I thought he was going to chicken out and make all that planning pointless. It's weird to feel so invested, but I was rooting for Kor.
What’s crazy is this rehearsal shit actually fricking worked. It was like therapy. It got this guy to admit something he probably never would have ever admitted and it strengthened his friendship with her and on top of that he was the big hero of trivia night without realizing he was cheating. Nathan literally manufactured a redemption arc for this dude’s entire fricking life. I wish it was me bros. I wish Nathan took an interest in my autistic life
I had the same thought. Wait a minute, when you really think about it the entirety of Nathan For You was a rehearsal for The Rehearsal. A way to hone his craft to the highest level. Eventually we're going to get to levels as grandiose as pic related
Rewatching this scene is brutal. The guy can barely form complete sentences because he’s so nervous. Watch it with subtitles and he literally just starts saying random words. I’m surprised she wasn’t more confused
they should have settled on a more direct easy to deliver start like "I don't have a master's degree" as the first line of the confession, then elaborating further on in the conversation with details. Reveal the lie simply and directly so that you don't have the pressure anymore and can let the other person guide the rest of the confession.
I actually liked his approach. He made it sound completely shocking and horrible at first but as he talked about it more she’s almost relieved it was actually not a big deal at all and at worst just a simple misunderstanding. Makes him seem more likable and honest that he would feel so guilty for something so innocent
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the line he rehearsed. Like the anon pointed out, he was clearly super nervous and was mumbling and fumbling over his words. The sentence he said is really awkward and sounds like he made it up on the spot.
>I'm pretty sure that wasn't the line he rehearsed
Did you even pay attention to the show when you watched it? He says multiple times during the rehearsal things like "my education history is a scam," "my education is a fraud," etc.
He definitely came up with that line far in advance, it's literally the way he states it in the very first rehearsal.
This scene was more suspenseful than anything I've seen in probably years, I was on the edge of my seat going "come on Kor," biting my nails. If this scene didn't get you in your feels on some level then I'm pretty sure you have no soul
The guy playing the doppelgänger has actually been in a bunch of shit. Buffy the vampire Slayer, Series of Unfortunate Events, Grosse Pointe Blank, etc
>intricate flowcharts >building actual sets >hiring a fake team to map someone’s house
How time consuming is all this? Nathan more effort than he needs to(it’s a good thing though).
when they showed the bog, you could see the post dates. it appears they started filming the show in the fall of 2019.
that plus pre production this show has been worked on for quite some time
I wouldnt be surprised if that guy was hired as well, I think nathan is fricking with us on a few levels here. Look at the extent he went to set up the trivia answer scenarios, hiring some rando to sit in a bar is nothing. It would help him secure the spot (they needed that table for filming) and its a good bit, it put kor on the spot.
I think he thought about it and after rehearsing it with the double and seeing how negative it could be without any real upside he decided not to say it.
It was to contrast Nathan's cowardice against Kor's bravery and triumph. Though both Kor and Nathan witnessed the 'worst case scenario' part of the decision tree, Kor went for it anyway and Nathan punted.
Nathan knew the trivia questions ahead of time so he subtly fed the answers to Kor while they were on a walk. Like they walked by a crime scene and a cop talks about someone being shot and he curses the Chinese for inventing gun powder. Nathan’s confession at the end was telling Kor he cheated and gave him the trivia answers, but he decided not to tell him and let Kor enjoy his win
Just watch the show before posting in these threads and relying on everyone else to explain the whole thing for you, spergo. It's a good show, watch it and stop wasting everyones time
it always weirds me out when people who take the time to post on the television and film Cinemaphile board pretend that one episode of a show may not be worthy of their sweet precious time. just watch the goddamn thing to see if you like it, what the frick is the issue here?
Exactly. If you homosexuals can't be bothered to watch something then why do you come into threads about it spouting opinions on something you know nothing about. It's as bad as Reddit on this board sometimes, just with more slurs. homosexual morons.
he spends the whole episode convincing Kor to go through with telling the truth but can’t do it himself. the fact the scene following is him drinking at the fake bar instead of participating in the real life one is pure kino
This person had to have seen maybe a dozen random clips from Nathan For You TOPS because the way he fricks with people has always been peak manipulative. What a homosexual fricking wiener
He was living with his mother so his dad owed child support and his excuse for not paying it was “I shouldn’t pay it when I could save this money for their college”. I’m guessing his mother agreed otherwise he’d be in jail. But when it came time for college he didn’t pay. Long story short his dad didn’t give a rats ass about him or his sister.
Kor didn’t contribute to the team at all wtf. I bet all of his friends knew he didn’t have a master’s degree and they all just humored him to be nice. Also where do you autists find this shit?
nathan moved from trying to transform businesses to trying to transform personal lives, since his business interventions rarely actually helped anyone in the end whereas with this premise people are still helped out in some way like imagine that gas station rebate thing. Imagine drivinginto a local, independent store advertising low gas prices only for that rebate crap to pop up. You'd probably never fill up there again out of spite
overall The Rehearsal is basically Nathan For You but more ethical and I'm all for it
>Nathan allows an Oregon woman to prepare for motherhood by simulating the experience of raising a child from zero to eighteen.
i already know next one will be kino as well
She was just being nice. Trish seems like the type of person who cannot stand conflict so she tries to talk her way out of it and ends up sounding like a moron
>now everyone on tv is going to think I'm a cheater >you ff- you fricked this all up >you're an awful, AWFUL person
I was crying and laughing at the same time. I think Nathan finally nailed the balance between the cringe aspect of Finding Francis and the hilariously elaborate setups he's known for.
I just watched some best of clips. The voices aren’t the same at all. This Richard guy seems well spoken while Kor can barely say two words without mumbling. They’re both a little awkward and black, but that’s about it
Nathan's work really falls apart once you start to see the cracks and notice all the trickery and sleight of hand used on the audience. He mixes it so well into the fiction of the production that most people just believe these things happen, but it's all so convenient. Remember that Kor's original problem was confessing to his group, but we're instead focused on one person who was originally unnamed with scant details and an unlcear idea of what Kor meant when they're reaction would be extremely negative.
I don't think Kor had anyone in mind and I think his suggestion about someone becoming violent was fed to him. It was most likely suggested when the producers explain how these interviews go and they give cues about what to ask and how to get the conversation to flow. One of which is probably reminding him to voice his concerns like "What if someone has a really negative reaction?"
It takes a while before we know who he was referring to and his suggestion of violence is quickly forgotten. So now we have this really easy premise to work with. Kor doesn't have to confess to his group. Nathan's team doesn't have to hire an entire ensemble of high quality actors to mimic these people. He just needs 1 woman to mimic the person in his group who also just happens to be an extremely odd person. By the end of the episode, Kor's group of friends is never brought up again. The idea of confessing to this 1 person was hammered into our heads so much we forget the original premise and the string of conveniences that popped up along the way.
tl;dr Nathan makes great fiction, but Dog Bites Man and Jon Benjamin Has a Van are much better reality comedy programs.

no fricking shit moron do you think this is some grand revelation?
caring whether or not Nathan For You is real or not is missing the point and robbing yourself of one of the best comedy shows of all time.
We've only seen one episode of The Rehearsal so I can't speak to it yet, but I'm willing to bet how real or not this show is, will not matter after the finale has aired because that isn't the point.
Also, I'm willing to bet that Nathan For You is as real, if not more real than your average reality tv show is, lol
If you think Nathan couldn’t have hired an extra 3 actors to play his other friends you’re moronic. Trish is clearly the friend he’s worried about the most, specifically because she has given him job opportunities based on his supposed Master’s degree. Nathan obviously guided it to be just a date with Kor and Trish possibly hoping for some sort of romantic thing to emerge but it never did. That’s not to say that Kor was manipulated into only revealing his secret to Trish. The panic on his face was real when he was actually admitting it to her.
It sounds pretty understandable though. This b***h yaps her mouth off about everything and constantly complains. So while it's stupid to lie about something like a degree for years, it's not unreasonable to think she would berate kor over it.
Even though her reaction was totally okay with it, i'm willing to bet it's going to get brought up a bunch and/or she will tell a ton of people about it
"oh my god so this friend I know for 20 years has been lying about having a master degrees and he brought me alone to a bar to talk about it and made me sign consent forms for some tv show isn't that crazy? ya know I was expected it this I mean who has a masters degree and doesn't even have a wife and kids it's so crazy blah blah blah"
>creates an entire simlulacrum down to the rips in the stools of the local bar and populates it with actors >somehow it was too hard to hire five or so more actors for his friends
I don’t buy it chief
How are you this much more autistic than the main focus of the first episode of a show that is literally about helping autistic people navigate social situations kek
>t. Autist triggered by successful austist, making it harder for him to blame own failures on "muh autism"
Enjoy killing yourself at 40 you fricking ingrate
bros im new to this type of show, is he actually doing this stuff on real people or is it just a parody of those make over tv shows you can see on lifetime or those family channels
It's "real" in the same way other reality TV shows are real. They're real people, but obviously stuff is engineered, guided behind the scenes.
Good example is
Yo this show is fake when Nathan walks into Kor's apartment for the first time there is already a camera crew in his living room.
You see this shit in reality TV shows all the time. Camera in the house, the host of the show knocks on the door and the subject answers it. Obviously it isn't spontaneous and he probably already spoke to the host when the crew arrived.
>He lied about having a masters degree, I just overheard their conversation >Haha no masters degree? Who doesn't have a masters degree >And the loser of tonight's trivia is... Kor Skeet
This is an interview where I first found out he was divorced. I think it was around season 3. I recommend reading it because he’s out of character and talking with a woman that hates his show
Sounds kino, reading it now. >“Nathan had a different idea for the interview we wanted to run by you,” the publicist said. Fielder had heard a Nathan For You review last year on an episode of Mom On Pop, a podcast where I talk about pop culture with my mom, Bonney Teti. Mom did not care for Fielder’s show, nor for Fielder himself, which she made abundantly clear. So rather than a typical interview, Fielder wanted me to moderate a conversation between him and my mom. His goal: convince Mom to like him.
Already sounds like a kino interview premise
>Can I ask you a question? If you came to my house and we sat down together and watched America’s Funniest Home Videos, would you laugh out loud?
>Yes, I think so! I mean, if the videos are funny. I wouldn’t laugh at ones that weren’t. Why?
>Because this is my problem—and this is my problem. Who I see on your show, I’m very uncomfortable with that person.
>You’re uncomfortable with that person.
>Right. With Nathan the actor.
>I see. Because I don’t really smile and laugh that much on the show, right? So it’s a little weird.
>Right.
>Yeah. You know, it’s drawing from a lot of me in real life because throughout my life, I think I just have a natural straight face. Even sometimes people come up to me when I’m just sitting there and not thinking about anything, and they’ll say, “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” And I’ll just be like, “Nothing, I’m just sitting here.” I started to realize, oh, that’s just how my face looks. I learned to use that natural part of me and exaggerate stuff like that in the show. Another thing I always had trouble with when I was younger was a lot of social situations—it would be hard to just have small talk with strangers or, you know, talk to girls. Now that I’m a little bit older, I can look back on that and draw from that part of me to make these moments in the show that I find really interesting. But I also think the situations and the uncomfortable moments in the show also, I feel like, are designed to bring out a side of the other person that I find very charming and endearing about them. It’s an interesting litmus test to see—to get a sense of a person. A lot of people come into a situation, especially when they’re being filmed, where they have a certain idea of how they want to present themselves. And that part is usually the least interesting part of them because it’s very controlled, and I’m trying to show who they really are in some little way—w/ very low stakes.
Just finished reading this interview between working and would highly recommend it, it's a pretty good insight into who Nathan actually is as a person. Or, at least the person he wants to be known as outside of the NFY persona
Holy shit, if you want some good rage fuel go to the bottom of the article and read the AV Club comments on it. Holy fricking Reddit sensitive homosexuals
>at least people are telling them their wrong
Literally the only thing stopping me from hopping on and calling them every name in the book. I was steamed too
it wasn't funny, it wasn't awkrad. It was meh.
Nathan is a one note thus far. Just the same shctik as he did on comedy central.
Not good. Thanks for reading my review.
I just got to Kor asking for the table at the real bar and I want to crawl into a hole and die
I'm jealous of people who can watch this or NFY without pausing every 2 minutes
Watch some Wernor Herzog documentaries. He'll interview some weirdos and keep the camera on them way too long until they become uncomfortable and do or say some weird shit.
It was fine. The idea of having someone practice every scenario of a conversation in an exact replica of the location is interesting. It just wasn't as funny as N4U. This was just the first episode though so it might improve.
To be fair, NFY had episodes where I was literally laughing out loud from start to finish (the Best Buy one for example). It’s hard to replicate that shit. The Rehearsal definitely was not as funny, but it was interesting. I thought this first episode was more interesting than 90% of NFY episodes, even if it wasn’t as funny.
I agree that it's definitely not as funny as NFY, but feels more like an absurd drama. Nathan is really showing off his filmmaking chops. The ending scene was legitimately good. It's the same "I managed to help these people with their problems, but I still can't help myself." bit he always did at the end of NFY but 1,000 times better. The editing and tone were just spot on. I'm more sold on the fiction of The Rehersal than I am the comedy.
It's clearly less goofy. The Nathan in N4U is a slight parody of himself. He would fight with the lie detector guy because his laptop was running on XP instead of Windows 7 and he would try have an actress keep saying "I love you" to him over and over again.
The Rehearsal Nathan is much different than that Nathan. He's more cunning in his setups for the show without the slightly over the top character in N4U. Both are great stuff.
It seems like The Rehearsal is much more of a personal project that he put a lot more of his real self into than NFY which is a bit ironic considering the whole show is him having people practice their real life over and over again. Still, I see it as more of a passion project that doesn't just frick with people and put them in weird situations to see their reactions but also actually helps them overcome their self doubt and insecurities. That's all just based on the first episode though so I could be wrong but I hope the show maintains that same tone that the first episode has because - while hilarious - there's so much more of a heartfelt component to it that isn't really present when Nathan is doing things like hiring a mall Santa to call kids babies in order to manipulate them into buying some misguided and moronic toy made by an idiot
Anybody else really love the music during the intro of the show? I've already posted about this twice but nobody replied.
The introduction to the show is so good, just straight into it, that introduction with the soft piano music playing over it so perfectly sets the tone for the show.
>In tonight's episode, Anon wants to reveal to his family than he's transgender and a moderator on multiple discord channels >To help him, I've built an entire replica of his house and have even bought the exact same model of anal dildos he uses, and of course the finishing touch, the lighting fixture he'll eventually hang himself from
I laughed out loud several times. The intimate moment in the heated pool. The shotguns loaded with blanks. The random encounters designed to implant the trivia answers. Thrifty Boy. And Nathan’s voiceover is consistently funny.
You guys know Trisha clearly has asperger's right
We never saw the rest of the group, but judging from Kor and Trisha I think it's a pretty safe bet that they all have some issues
>You guys know Trisha clearly has asperger's right
No she doesn't. She's a fat, entitled libtard (lives in Brooklyn so yeah) who loves hearing herself talk, thinks everyone around her wants to hear every complaint she has in her life, and thinks 39 is is a "young age" to have a kid.
She had roommates, she had friends. She went out to bars and played trivia. Aspergers people have trouble fitting in. This girl is just a fat loudmouth.
I didn’t even understand why he specifically wanted to apologise and tell her he lied about the masters degree until he did the actual apology and mentioned she helped him look for jobs and he lied on the resumee
>and mentioned she helped him look for jobs and he lied on the resumee
He mentioned this early on in the episode. He said that she kept sending him job openings and it was getting more difficult coming up with reasons to reject them.
>i thought they would push more on the sexual tension between kor and trisha.
They brought this up with fake Trisha and Kor wanted to avoid it with the real Trisha.
>euros are too poor to be able to afford doors
Really now?
>look, something moronic
>EUROPEANS MUST BE JEALOUS!!
rent free
KEK, IMAGINE OP GETTING BRUTALLY RAPED. I'D PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THAT LOL.
I'll just go frick myself with the tallest building I can find then, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai
It's days like these that I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder
The buffoon coddles his rape fantasies because he has nothing else! I feel quite sorry for you, you buffoon!
so you got some responses last night
at least thing of a new OP you fricking moron
Didn't see the other thread my guy just googled The Rehearsal and posted like the second image I don't know what you want from me I just want to talk about Nathan Kino
>he comments on the doors without even being in the right angle to see them
Massive plot hole?
It’s a joke he wrote in advance after rehearsing the meeting dozens of times
this just makes it funnier kek
Did you watch one minute and turn it off?
>you've exposed me as a fake. you've FRICKING ruined the entire thing
I wasn't paying attention at the end and didn't notice them slip the guy pretending to be Kor in
You have to prepare for every situation after all, he needed to know what to say of Kor flipped out
Oh I know, I just thought it was kor who really said that. Wasn't paying full attention and didn't see they edited the clip of the double saying it. Was pretty good
Imagine watching shows like this. Put your phone down next time kino is on, homosexual
Lots of people fell for that editing. It's hilarious how many people can be faceblind.
I'm so nervous bros. Will Nathan be able to let his walls down and accept failure as a part of life?
this show really outs all the morons on this board
>whaa it was the actor at the end??
all black people look the same so i had no idea
Nah you're just racist
That can't be it because I'm racist and I got it right away.
i'm a chink, i can't be racist, only whites piggus can be racist. checkmate tran tards
>i'm a chink, i can't be racist
I think you meant to say "I'm a chink, my people are the most racist people on the planet"
Same here. Face blindness is a b***h and this show made me realize either half of you morons have it or the speedwatcher meme is far more widespread of an actual thing than I imagined
>Nah you're just racist
Was Freeman not sure if he was allowed to swear? Seemed like a weird hesitation to say 'frick.'
real life kino. the framing, the content, the film grain, the lighting. kino.
>film grain
based ignoramus
>he called it film grain when it's actually digital noise
>the film grain
This is how hipster pseuds actually talk about things they know nothing about
shut up, gay
>pseud gets mad after being called out for being a fricking moron
Yep, checks out.
the only thing im mad about is my positive comment is met with dorks like you correcting a mistake i made
Maybe if you were less of an insufferable pseud, people wouldn't call you out for being a twat?
when was i being a "twat"
On the one hand she was annoying as frick and liked the sound of her own voice way too much. Ont he other hand she was super chill about accepting his apology. I honestly don't know what to think of her. Her actress replacement mogs her tho.
Fake Trisha was so much better than real Trisha.
This part was infuriating. I watched and yelled at Kor because I thought he was going to chicken out and make all that planning pointless. It's weird to feel so invested, but I was rooting for Kor.
What’s crazy is this rehearsal shit actually fricking worked. It was like therapy. It got this guy to admit something he probably never would have ever admitted and it strengthened his friendship with her and on top of that he was the big hero of trivia night without realizing he was cheating. Nathan literally manufactured a redemption arc for this dude’s entire fricking life. I wish it was me bros. I wish Nathan took an interest in my autistic life
>helps small businesses
>coaches people through tough situations(for them)
Why do people think Nathan is a bad person?
It makes me wonder if The Hero was sort of a like a prototype for The Rehearsal.
The manipulation.
The Hero was definitely the prototype Nathan is just taking it to it's natural conclusion which is managing every single variable in a scenario.
It's also got shades of the bar theater production thing he put together with all the actors.
I had the same thought. Wait a minute, when you really think about it the entirety of Nathan For You was a rehearsal for The Rehearsal. A way to hone his craft to the highest level. Eventually we're going to get to levels as grandiose as pic related
Smoking Allowed, The Hero, and Finding Francis were all like proto-episodes for this show. It's pure kino.
>what are mock interviews
Rewatching this scene is brutal. The guy can barely form complete sentences because he’s so nervous. Watch it with subtitles and he literally just starts saying random words. I’m surprised she wasn’t more confused
>my educational history is kind of a total fraud
they should have settled on a more direct easy to deliver start like "I don't have a master's degree" as the first line of the confession, then elaborating further on in the conversation with details. Reveal the lie simply and directly so that you don't have the pressure anymore and can let the other person guide the rest of the confession.
I actually liked his approach. He made it sound completely shocking and horrible at first but as he talked about it more she’s almost relieved it was actually not a big deal at all and at worst just a simple misunderstanding. Makes him seem more likable and honest that he would feel so guilty for something so innocent
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the line he rehearsed. Like the anon pointed out, he was clearly super nervous and was mumbling and fumbling over his words. The sentence he said is really awkward and sounds like he made it up on the spot.
>I'm pretty sure that wasn't the line he rehearsed

very relatable feeling
Are you all talking about the Rehearsal? Redpill me on it.
No. Just watch it. It's good.
It's kino, just watch it
Trish the dish!
The guy playing the doppelgänger has actually been in a bunch of shit. Buffy the vampire Slayer, Series of Unfortunate Events, Grosse Pointe Blank, etc
I wonder if he's a fan, or just slumming it lately. The fake Trish has been in next to nothing.
the fake trish nailed her impression of the real woman
Hes on a Broadway play right now
I always forget that gaps in actor's movie and TV roles are often filled with stage work.
Oh shit he was the banker in unfortunate events. I liked his character.
i made it like 10 minutes in and couldn't take it. how is he funny?
Imagine getting filtered as hard as this turbo-autist
You may be very dense.
hahaha it's awkward and cringe... on purpose! Genius!
why would you get a chair like that?
What's the Hulk Hogan book?
knowing Kor it probably has something to do with wrestling trivia
I like Nathan's shoes
>intricate flowcharts
>building actual sets
>hiring a fake team to map someone’s house
How time consuming is all this? Nathan more effort than he needs to(it’s a good thing though).
when they showed the bog, you could see the post dates. it appears they started filming the show in the fall of 2019.
that plus pre production this show has been worked on for quite some time
>when they showed the bog
Fricking kek, that typo works way too well in the context of this show
That's part of the joke.
>What is this, door city or something??
I guess you could say its a sort of portal, hehe.
A fun read
://cheapchickinthecity.wordpress.com/
>She posted an update without referencing the show
Wtf? Has her inbox not been flooded with people referencing the show?
>the doors have intersecting paths when opened
Is this a joke?
>one entrance door
>one door to another room near the entrance
>one door from that room outside
it truly boggles the mind. the only explanation I can think of is that it's some divided house thing with a private entrance to a room they rent out
When he said that she would become "violent" and say awful things to him, I thought he was implying that Trish was racist
The whole brain cancer segment seems way too good to be true.
>oh my grandma just died as well bro
Yeah I thought that guy was just being a dick at first
I wouldnt be surprised if that guy was hired as well, I think nathan is fricking with us on a few levels here. Look at the extent he went to set up the trivia answer scenarios, hiring some rando to sit in a bar is nothing. It would help him secure the spot (they needed that table for filming) and its a good bit, it put kor on the spot.
I couldn't stop laughing
>"My grandma died of brain cancer and this was our table so I have to sit here"
>I had this show, Nathan For You, have you heard of it?
>No
>isn't your trivia expertise in television?
Why didn’t Nathan confess to Kor at the end? Is there some deep meaning I’m too dumb to understand?
Fake Kor got pretty mad in the rehearsal, so he chose a different path.
As an IS analyst with autism I want to see these entire flowcharts blown up and released.
its just like the David Cage games lol
>Nathan will never repackage his flow charts into an interactive cinematic videogame of the show that allows you to play along
sadness
Nathan literally has enough raw material to create a choose your own adventure video game based off this episode.
Nice Westworld screencap
because he rehearsed it
He’s afraid of the real Kor being angry with him and calling him awful
I think he thought about it and after rehearsing it with the double and seeing how negative it could be without any real upside he decided not to say it.
It was to contrast Nathan's cowardice against Kor's bravery and triumph. Though both Kor and Nathan witnessed the 'worst case scenario' part of the decision tree, Kor went for it anyway and Nathan punted.
And of course, the bit with Nathan telling Kor was probably just a bit for the show. Still hilarious though and made me bust a gut.
Nathan didn't tell the real Kor, simpleton speedwatcher
I meant the fake out, midwits. That's what was funny, even if he probably filmed it after the fact.
holy moron
Much like Willy Wonka, Nathan is a broken man who can make the dreams of others come true but never his own.
when the willy wonka theme came on I fricking lost it
k-kino
confess what? I'm trying to piece together this show simply by this thread and I haven't watched Natahn for you either
Nathan knew the trivia questions ahead of time so he subtly fed the answers to Kor while they were on a walk. Like they walked by a crime scene and a cop talks about someone being shot and he curses the Chinese for inventing gun powder. Nathan’s confession at the end was telling Kor he cheated and gave him the trivia answers, but he decided not to tell him and let Kor enjoy his win
Oh interesting. Is it just one episode so far? I might watch this
Yeah, one 40 minute episode
Just watch the show before posting in these threads and relying on everyone else to explain the whole thing for you, spergo. It's a good show, watch it and stop wasting everyones time
it always weirds me out when people who take the time to post on the television and film Cinemaphile board pretend that one episode of a show may not be worthy of their sweet precious time. just watch the goddamn thing to see if you like it, what the frick is the issue here?
Exactly. If you homosexuals can't be bothered to watch something then why do you come into threads about it spouting opinions on something you know nothing about. It's as bad as Reddit on this board sometimes, just with more slurs. homosexual morons.
The best part is Kor will watch the show and find out anyway.
Nathan helping Kor to be honest and redeem himself and being unable to do the same himself is legit kino.
he spends the whole episode convincing Kor to go through with telling the truth but can’t do it himself. the fact the scene following is him drinking at the fake bar instead of participating in the real life one is pure kino
The joke is he couldn't overcome the very fear he helped Kor overcome.
It’s not funny
Its over
Nathan is done
what a homosexual. nathan for you was full of this stuff too.
Maybe it's your fault for trying to reduce your response to the show to one dimension: "how funny was it?"
what manipulation?
The manipulation is what makes it so funny.
This person had to have seen maybe a dozen random clips from Nathan For You TOPS because the way he fricks with people has always been peak manipulative. What a homosexual fricking wiener
Name of show?
The Rehearsal
The Rehearsal.
What was the shit with Kor’s dad, he wouldn’t pay for his college or something?
he was black and drank away the child support
He was living with his mother so his dad owed child support and his excuse for not paying it was “I shouldn’t pay it when I could save this money for their college”. I’m guessing his mother agreed otherwise he’d be in jail. But when it came time for college he didn’t pay. Long story short his dad didn’t give a rats ass about him or his sister.
The other people are going to be a lot more difficult to work with, aren’t they?
I did feel like it was too easy with Kor. Curious to see how Nathan handles a more difficult participant
Kor isn't the only weirdo out there. He'll find more.
he's filming in NYC in think, there will be no shortage of weird npcs. like how nfy had all the weirdos & wannabe actors from LA.
GASLIGHTING
IS
NEVER
OKAY
what did kor mean by this?
.be&ab_channel=velma999
also are new episodes every friday night? how many eps? i hope the finale is crazy
Only five more episodes and yeah it’s every week
My man Kor looking good with hair.
But why is Derek Chauvin driving a cab?
Kor didn’t contribute to the team at all wtf. I bet all of his friends knew he didn’t have a master’s degree and they all just humored him to be nice. Also where do you autists find this shit?
nathan moved from trying to transform businesses to trying to transform personal lives, since his business interventions rarely actually helped anyone in the end whereas with this premise people are still helped out in some way
like imagine that gas station rebate thing. Imagine drivinginto a local, independent store advertising low gas prices only for that rebate crap to pop up. You'd probably never fill up there again out of spite
overall The Rehearsal is basically Nathan For You but more ethical and I'm all for it
Remember to get married before 40 or face this fate.
>don’t you recognize my voice
>…no
Bill Gates?
>season finale of the rehearsal reveals this interaction was only a rehearsal of the real interaction that will happen on the night of the finale
>Pardon my language but you gotta know what you’re sticking it in
>Jesus Bill
>That’s right
Bill reminds me of /misc/ when they’re 80
This was actually pretty sad. Hope this dude has siblings or close family members or something and doesn't die alone.
What is this from? A trailer?
watch nathan for you and educate yourself
Everyone says Finding Frances is his best work but I think it was The Hero, pure kino
Finding Francis was better than the Hero, if for no reason other than Maci. Maci quite literally elevated that episode to kino and beyond.
Here I go digging in again
I just remember that in this episode they did a rehearsal with Bill and that older actress where they were roleplaying out their reunion meeting.
the way he gayly splashed water towards Kor at the very start of this scene was a little too effeminate and weird.
Nathan truly is an awkward weirdo
unfortunately he didn't have time to rehearse the pool scene
>Kor bathes with a shirt on
I know that feel.
Could Nathan prepare Jonah for Ornella?
the flowchart would get a computational error
>Nathan allows an Oregon woman to prepare for motherhood by simulating the experience of raising a child from zero to eighteen.
i already know next one will be kino as well
I read somewhere that it’s the main plot of the season so I’m sure it’ll carry over the rest of the way
>Fake Trish tells Trish she doesn't have daughter
>"I thought 39 seemed really young to have a daughter haha!"
She was just being nice. Trish seems like the type of person who cannot stand conflict so she tries to talk her way out of it and ends up sounding like a moron
>now everyone on tv is going to think I'm a cheater
>you ff- you fricked this all up
>you're an awful, AWFUL person
I was crying and laughing at the same time. I think Nathan finally nailed the balance between the cringe aspect of Finding Francis and the hilariously elaborate setups he's known for.
>Finding Francis
Can't find a torrent. What gives?
It’s just the last episode of Nathan for You
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1791506/
Oh. I thought you meant that one. Nvm then.
Nathan For You is on HBOMax if you have it.
Okay all jokes aside, am I the ONLY fricking person who's distracted by how similar Kor is to Sam Richardson (plays Richard Splett in Veep)?
yes you are because they look nothing alike
>focuses on looks
>ignores that their voices are almost identical with the same inflections and autistic undercurrent
Am I going insane?
I just watched some best of clips. The voices aren’t the same at all. This Richard guy seems well spoken while Kor can barely say two words without mumbling. They’re both a little awkward and black, but that’s about it
pure kino episode
the film grain during the real bar scene really did it for me
The film grain in this show was kino
You can really tell Nathan is a kino-head, his cinematography is next level in that scene
Using that 16mm camera on the real life scenes was tasteful as frick. this show is going to be awesome, i can tell.
Nathan is a israeli Warlock with trillions of dollars at his disposal.
Hes Illuminati which was founded by the Jesuit Adam Weishaupt
And the loser for tonight’s trivia is… Kor Skeet
>this guy doesn't even have a master's degree
I kind of think the final episode will be Nathan rehearsing to try and get his ex-wife back. I hope so, that would be kino.
I think Nathan avoids talking about his personal life because he is a fairly normal guy and that would ruin his awkward character.
Nathan's work really falls apart once you start to see the cracks and notice all the trickery and sleight of hand used on the audience. He mixes it so well into the fiction of the production that most people just believe these things happen, but it's all so convenient. Remember that Kor's original problem was confessing to his group, but we're instead focused on one person who was originally unnamed with scant details and an unlcear idea of what Kor meant when they're reaction would be extremely negative.
I don't think Kor had anyone in mind and I think his suggestion about someone becoming violent was fed to him. It was most likely suggested when the producers explain how these interviews go and they give cues about what to ask and how to get the conversation to flow. One of which is probably reminding him to voice his concerns like "What if someone has a really negative reaction?"
It takes a while before we know who he was referring to and his suggestion of violence is quickly forgotten. So now we have this really easy premise to work with. Kor doesn't have to confess to his group. Nathan's team doesn't have to hire an entire ensemble of high quality actors to mimic these people. He just needs 1 woman to mimic the person in his group who also just happens to be an extremely odd person. By the end of the episode, Kor's group of friends is never brought up again. The idea of confessing to this 1 person was hammered into our heads so much we forget the original premise and the string of conveniences that popped up along the way.
tl;dr Nathan makes great fiction, but Dog Bites Man and Jon Benjamin Has a Van are much better reality comedy programs.
Have sex.

no fricking shit moron do you think this is some grand revelation?
caring whether or not Nathan For You is real or not is missing the point and robbing yourself of one of the best comedy shows of all time.
We've only seen one episode of The Rehearsal so I can't speak to it yet, but I'm willing to bet how real or not this show is, will not matter after the finale has aired because that isn't the point.
Also, I'm willing to bet that Nathan For You is as real, if not more real than your average reality tv show is, lol
If you think Nathan couldn’t have hired an extra 3 actors to play his other friends you’re moronic. Trish is clearly the friend he’s worried about the most, specifically because she has given him job opportunities based on his supposed Master’s degree. Nathan obviously guided it to be just a date with Kor and Trish possibly hoping for some sort of romantic thing to emerge but it never did. That’s not to say that Kor was manipulated into only revealing his secret to Trish. The panic on his face was real when he was actually admitting it to her.
It sounds pretty understandable though. This b***h yaps her mouth off about everything and constantly complains. So while it's stupid to lie about something like a degree for years, it's not unreasonable to think she would berate kor over it.
Even though her reaction was totally okay with it, i'm willing to bet it's going to get brought up a bunch and/or she will tell a ton of people about it
"oh my god so this friend I know for 20 years has been lying about having a master degrees and he brought me alone to a bar to talk about it and made me sign consent forms for some tv show isn't that crazy? ya know I was expected it this I mean who has a masters degree and doesn't even have a wife and kids it's so crazy blah blah blah"
>creates an entire simlulacrum down to the rips in the stools of the local bar and populates it with actors
>somehow it was too hard to hire five or so more actors for his friends
I don’t buy it chief
How are you this much more autistic than the main focus of the first episode of a show that is literally about helping autistic people navigate social situations kek
>t. Autist triggered by successful austist, making it harder for him to blame own failures on "muh autism"
Enjoy killing yourself at 40 you fricking ingrate
Repeat to yourself it's just a show, I should really just relax.
bros im new to this type of show, is he actually doing this stuff on real people or is it just a parody of those make over tv shows you can see on lifetime or those family channels
It's supposedly real.
It's "real" in the same way other reality TV shows are real. They're real people, but obviously stuff is engineered, guided behind the scenes.
Good example is
You see this shit in reality TV shows all the time. Camera in the house, the host of the show knocks on the door and the subject answers it. Obviously it isn't spontaneous and he probably already spoke to the host when the crew arrived.
>He lied about having a masters degree, I just overheard their conversation
>Haha no masters degree? Who doesn't have a masters degree
>And the loser of tonight's trivia is... Kor Skeet
was nathan married for three years??
He was married for 7 years actually. They were separated for the last 4 years though.
Any place I can get more info on this? Always been curious about Nathans true personal life since he's always been so secretive about it.
leave it, weirdo
This is an interview where I first found out he was divorced. I think it was around season 3. I recommend reading it because he’s out of character and talking with a woman that hates his show
https://www.avclub.com/nathan-for-you-s-star-confronts-the-a-v-club-mom-who-s-1798285604
Sounds kino, reading it now.
>“Nathan had a different idea for the interview we wanted to run by you,” the publicist said. Fielder had heard a Nathan For You review last year on an episode of Mom On Pop, a podcast where I talk about pop culture with my mom, Bonney Teti. Mom did not care for Fielder’s show, nor for Fielder himself, which she made abundantly clear. So rather than a typical interview, Fielder wanted me to moderate a conversation between him and my mom. His goal: convince Mom to like him.
Already sounds like a kino interview premise
>Can I ask you a question? If you came to my house and we sat down together and watched America’s Funniest Home Videos, would you laugh out loud?
>Yes, I think so! I mean, if the videos are funny. I wouldn’t laugh at ones that weren’t. Why?
>Because this is my problem—and this is my problem. Who I see on your show, I’m very uncomfortable with that person.
>You’re uncomfortable with that person.
>Right. With Nathan the actor.
>I see. Because I don’t really smile and laugh that much on the show, right? So it’s a little weird.
>Right.
>Yeah. You know, it’s drawing from a lot of me in real life because throughout my life, I think I just have a natural straight face. Even sometimes people come up to me when I’m just sitting there and not thinking about anything, and they’ll say, “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” And I’ll just be like, “Nothing, I’m just sitting here.” I started to realize, oh, that’s just how my face looks. I learned to use that natural part of me and exaggerate stuff like that in the show. Another thing I always had trouble with when I was younger was a lot of social situations—it would be hard to just have small talk with strangers or, you know, talk to girls. Now that I’m a little bit older, I can look back on that and draw from that part of me to make these moments in the show that I find really interesting. But I also think the situations and the uncomfortable moments in the show also, I feel like, are designed to bring out a side of the other person that I find very charming and endearing about them. It’s an interesting litmus test to see—to get a sense of a person. A lot of people come into a situation, especially when they’re being filmed, where they have a certain idea of how they want to present themselves. And that part is usually the least interesting part of them because it’s very controlled, and I’m trying to show who they really are in some little way—w/ very low stakes.
Just got done reading this part and that AV Club dudes mom is such a dweeb it's cracking me up
Just finished reading this interview between working and would highly recommend it, it's a pretty good insight into who Nathan actually is as a person. Or, at least the person he wants to be known as outside of the NFY persona
Yeah, it was the first time I saw him out of character years ago. It seems like any other interview he would still do the same Nathan For You persona
Holy shit, if you want some good rage fuel go to the bottom of the article and read the AV Club comments on it. Holy fricking Reddit sensitive homosexuals
holy shit im mad now
after feeling good from reading the article too
at least people are telling them their wrong
>at least people are telling them their wrong
Literally the only thing stopping me from hopping on and calling them every name in the book. I was steamed too
He specifically does not talk about it and anytime interviewers bring it up he says he wants that part of his life private.
its impossible to script something for 40 minutes
Yo this show is fake when Nathan walks into Kor's apartment for the first time there is already a camera crew in his living room.
they're filming through the window
they're using nanocameras (that's why there's filmgrain)
>Who doesn't have a master's degree?
it's the way they are saying those lines that makes it so fricking funny
does nathan do rehearsals for losing your virginity? asking for a friend
I don’t know but that’s be extremely kino if he did.
You should kys, preferably with a guillotine, a device that was used in the French Revolution, which began in 1789.
Or jump off the tallest building in the world. The Burj Khalifa.
it wasn't funny, it wasn't awkrad. It was meh.
Nathan is a one note thus far. Just the same shctik as he did on comedy central.
Not good. Thanks for reading my review.
Bad review, bad take.
I didn't hate it, Nathan. Don't spaz. I will pirate the next episode, chill.
You alone are the one with good taste and everyone else has bad taste. Pat yourself on the back and smile that smug grin.
That stupid tuft of hair on Kor's hairline drove me nuts. How do you miss that spot when shaving your head?
its likely the only place that grows hair on his head
failed transplant
I heard this was sort of disappointing
Watch it and decide for yourself, brainlet
from whom? Cinemaphile loves it, twitter loves it, imdb loves it, critics gave insanely good reviews. Literally no one hates it.
I just got to Kor asking for the table at the real bar and I want to crawl into a hole and die
I'm jealous of people who can watch this or NFY without pausing every 2 minutes
You’re about to watch some real shit my dude. Enjoy
that was kind of awkward but not particularly cringe or extreme in any way
think you need to get out more if that's too painful for you
it was far less cringe inducing than the average episode of NFY
I never watched NFY, but The Rehearsal seems like a can't miss event so I'm powering through
probably
Dude, chill. Your aspergers is suffocating you. Don't let it.
Watch some Wernor Herzog documentaries. He'll interview some weirdos and keep the camera on them way too long until they become uncomfortable and do or say some weird shit.
Honestly, kind underwhelming.
It was fine. The idea of having someone practice every scenario of a conversation in an exact replica of the location is interesting. It just wasn't as funny as N4U. This was just the first episode though so it might improve.
To be fair, NFY had episodes where I was literally laughing out loud from start to finish (the Best Buy one for example). It’s hard to replicate that shit. The Rehearsal definitely was not as funny, but it was interesting. I thought this first episode was more interesting than 90% of NFY episodes, even if it wasn’t as funny.
I agree that it's definitely not as funny as NFY, but feels more like an absurd drama. Nathan is really showing off his filmmaking chops. The ending scene was legitimately good. It's the same "I managed to help these people with their problems, but I still can't help myself." bit he always did at the end of NFY but 1,000 times better. The editing and tone were just spot on. I'm more sold on the fiction of The Rehersal than I am the comedy.
It's not as laugh out loud funny, but it's just as good imo.
Yeah, it's not as good, but it's really tough to top N4Y. Still enjoyed it.
It was equal to mid-tier N4Y ep.
I thought it was hilarious. First time I've had to pause because I was laughing so much in a while. Just thinking back to it is making me laugh.
It's clearly less goofy. The Nathan in N4U is a slight parody of himself. He would fight with the lie detector guy because his laptop was running on XP instead of Windows 7 and he would try have an actress keep saying "I love you" to him over and over again.
The Rehearsal Nathan is much different than that Nathan. He's more cunning in his setups for the show without the slightly over the top character in N4U. Both are great stuff.
It seems like The Rehearsal is much more of a personal project that he put a lot more of his real self into than NFY which is a bit ironic considering the whole show is him having people practice their real life over and over again. Still, I see it as more of a passion project that doesn't just frick with people and put them in weird situations to see their reactions but also actually helps them overcome their self doubt and insecurities. That's all just based on the first episode though so I could be wrong but I hope the show maintains that same tone that the first episode has because - while hilarious - there's so much more of a heartfelt component to it that isn't really present when Nathan is doing things like hiring a mall Santa to call kids babies in order to manipulate them into buying some misguided and moronic toy made by an idiot
Nathan cant be as israelitey in this because it isn't about business ethics and loopholes. Less israelitey means less comedy
Cheap Chick in the City
>imagine having a roommate at 50 and your best friend is a lying Black person
It's strange how only awkward autistic people who can't into self-reflecting end up hating Nathan's comedy.
Ding ding ding. The exact reason opinions are so divided about him on this board
Don't ding ding ding me predditor
I'll ding ding ding whoever I want you dingaling ding dong homosexual, just try and stop me
Anybody else really love the music during the intro of the show? I've already posted about this twice but nobody replied.
The introduction to the show is so good, just straight into it, that introduction with the soft piano music playing over it so perfectly sets the tone for the show.
No seriously, how the frick do those doors work. Where do they go?
I read somewhere that the second door going into the hall isn’t functional anymore and a lot of old buildings in New York have them
>door breaks
>just build another door on the other wall
now THATS what I call italian
It’s like a portal
this show isn't funny and I fell asleep by how lame it was
thats cuz baby was tired
hopefully the next episode has some dangling keys on the screen for you 🙂

>In tonight's episode, Anon wants to reveal to his family than he's transgender and a moderator on multiple discord channels
>To help him, I've built an entire replica of his house and have even bought the exact same model of anal dildos he uses, and of course the finishing touch, the lighting fixture he'll eventually hang himself from
Nathan would create exact replica of the discord app and have actors imitate the users in the servers anon moderates
only moronic nerds find this shit funny
if I saw any of you IRL I would deck you
No you wouldn't Aidan, you'd probably just say some homosexual /misc/ catchphrase and sperg out

Peak cringe, loser

Cinemaphile is consistently the dumbest baord
Hey friends of Cinemaphile OP here I just wanted to say I've never started a successful thread before so thank you for all the ((you))s
Did you rehearse making this this thread with Nathan?
He only posts on a straight body building forum
He posted a similar thread yesterday as a rehearsal for the real deal
this wasn't very funny but it was definitely kino, especially the digital noise
> calls film grain "digital noise"
It's a digital camera, moron. It is exactly digital noise. Imagine being this dumb.
This meme that started literally yesterday is already played out and getting real old real quick
It’s over…
HE LIED ABOUT HAVING A MASTERS DEGREE
I HEARD HIM
Are you really a laughing stock in the US if you don’t have a masters degree?
It’s like being a virgin past 15
People who get master's degrees should be laughing stocks. I have a master's and my job pays 33k a year.
Shouldn't have gone for a masters in art therapy, homosexual
yes
t. masters in liberal arts
I laughed out loud several times. The intimate moment in the heated pool. The shotguns loaded with blanks. The random encounters designed to implant the trivia answers. Thrifty Boy. And Nathan’s voiceover is consistently funny.
https://thriftyboy.org/
You guys know Trisha clearly has asperger's right
We never saw the rest of the group, but judging from Kor and Trisha I think it's a pretty safe bet that they all have some issues
That’s just how modern Americans act
>You guys know Trisha clearly has asperger's right
No she doesn't. She's a fat, entitled libtard (lives in Brooklyn so yeah) who loves hearing herself talk, thinks everyone around her wants to hear every complaint she has in her life, and thinks 39 is is a "young age" to have a kid.
Yeah people with aspergers are stupid and annoying. That's like the biggest part of having aspergers.
She had roommates, she had friends. She went out to bars and played trivia. Aspergers people have trouble fitting in. This girl is just a fat loudmouth.
>people with aspergers can't have a social life at all whatsoever
>NO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
moron
I don’t think she showed any signs of having Asperger’a. Just because someone talks a lot doesn’t mean they have a disorder
They're both clearly extremely autistic but high functioning to a certain extent
Why did Willy wonka music start playing
>when the black guy and Nathan both thought the kids died
>then Nathan says he will have to read the book
KINO
Fricking speedwatchers
I thought it was a cross between Finding Frances and Smokers Allowed, so I loved it, because they're both my favourite Nathan For You episodes.
I didn’t even understand why he specifically wanted to apologise and tell her he lied about the masters degree until he did the actual apology and mentioned she helped him look for jobs and he lied on the resumee
>and mentioned she helped him look for jobs and he lied on the resumee
He mentioned this early on in the episode. He said that she kept sending him job openings and it was getting more difficult coming up with reasons to reject them.
Fricking speedwatchers
i thought they would push more on the sexual tension between kor and trisha. the whole diploma problem felt like a stand-in for his real confession
>i thought they would push more on the sexual tension between kor and trisha.
They brought this up with fake Trisha and Kor wanted to avoid it with the real Trisha.
>Episode 2
>Nathan allows an Oregon woman to prepare for motherhood by simulating the experience of raising a child from zero to eighteen.

this is going to be an overarching story, right? honestly I think it could be really good
No one thinks it's a documentary you dumb shit.
Good rehearsal thread everyone. I think I'm ready for the real thread now
