Some people might see it that way just like they thought Nathan For You was mean spirited. I think they’d probably think that about any “hidden camera” type shows though
I didn't get the sense that the show was ever laughing at the random people
You could argue that using them as a vehicle to slowly tell the tale of Nathan's insecurities might be insensitive or something
one of the simulations he ran in the first episode seemed like they were doing the worst case scenario to get the dude ready for itthe actors he had as background extras started laughing at him and publicly ridiculing the poor bastard
Is practising conversations and talking points on the off chance they'll come up not normal? Feels great when you finally get to tell that one anecdote you've gone over dozens of times in your head.
i was thinking this the entire time. i always prepare for conversations or topics before any social event like birthdays or anything where a lot of my friends or family will all be together. i do this weeks in advance, and just research random shit that might come up so i know exactly what i'm talking about. honestly doing this sort of thing has helped me a lot in life.
but maybe this is normal? maybe many people do this and nathan is shedding light on it?
I don’t prepare for upcoming situations unless it’s a job interview or something. I do spend a lot of time talking to myself in my head, going over opinions as if I’m in a uni class (great practice for saying what you mean but keeping things PC), explaining things as if I’m talking to someone, or really just going over anything that interests me and organizing my thoughts. It doesn’t always help, but it makes a big difference when the right topic comes up. I bet learning random shit like a trivia fan would be really helpful too though. I just do what I do because I’m mercurial as frick and I find it entertaining to play with my thoughts
i mean, same. it's just when those imagined scenarios turn out a word i picture using but am only 99% sure i know the exact definition of, or if i think of a joke or reference that i'm unsure of or a direction i envision steering the conversation towards, i always have to look things up just to be sure ahead of time. i dunno if this is autism or if its just how people normally are. or maybe i care too much about what people think. idk honestly.

idk but the show is already pure fricking kino.
I don't rehearse entire conversations in my head, but I do often rehearse the best way to tell a story about something that happened to me so if I end up telling it multiple times it'll be the best and funniest version of that story/conversation starter.
the part where nathan is worried that a little joke he made didnt land perfectly and will ruin absolutely everything and he starts overanalyzing the effect it had is spot-on for having social anxiety. ill obsess for days over not saying "hello" to someone in exactly the right way
>I'm afraid of confessing to my long time friend that I lied about having a master's degree >Okay, we'll recreate the scene with autistically accurate detail so you can rehearse talking to her
Ahh, I took it that he admitted it to the black guy though the black guy had no reaction, hence why he just stared at him and then he told him he thought he was a good person because he didn't react like the worst case scenario in rehearsals.
I really did have some apprehension about this and worried it wouldn't live up but I was dying the whole episode. I can't get over how the actress playing Trish the Dish nailed how obnoxious she really is.
>I can't get over how the actress playing Trish the Dish nailed how obnoxious she really is.
That was honestly super impressive. That actress deserves more work, she got a basically all of that shit down from one conversation.
liked the episode but i feel like with nathan for you this show will get too repetitive, got to watch 5 more episodes of this gimmick play out? life's too short
He's taking people with issues that are important to them and making a show where that problem is played for laughs and the show treats them like amusements in a zoo.
You don't think the show was presented in a way where we're meant to laugh at poor Kor?
No, we are meant to laugh at the awkwardness of the situation and the lengths Nathan goes to for the rehearsal. Maybe a bit too at the frivolousness of the secret.
Why do you think the show is trying to make fun of these people? I liked Kor.
If you laughed at him and not Nathan's whacky antics to get him to open up then you're the problem, not Nathan. He's literally just some guy thrust into a fantastical scenario. We aren't supposed to be all that entertained by Charlie Bucket - he's just our partner on Wonka's adventure
No, we are meant to laugh at the awkwardness of the situation and the lengths Nathan goes to for the rehearsal. Maybe a bit too at the frivolousness of the secret.
Why do you think the show is trying to make fun of these people? I liked Kor.
So you don't think showing us that he owns a book called "How to make love all night and drive women wild" is meant to make fun of him even a little?
It's Nathan being an awkward frick and pointing out/ joking about a book you wouldn't talk about with someone you've just met. Yeah it's weird but we've all got weird shit - you probably have something equally weird but will swear up and down you don't until Nathan comes into your house and points it out on national television

Of course I do and if someone showed it on tv I would think they were deliberately trying to make fun of me.
because sometimes people who have been on the show feel like the show shat one them.
even if nathan is well intentioned what he's doing he might still hurt people.
there is a terrifying number of people who can’t properly process information. they’re the ones who lean over and ask you what’s going on 100 times during a movie
>That look of pain and anguish feigning to be waiting for pizza but the internal struggle of revealing a secret he has held for 10 years and has practiced +20 times.
Total and absolute kino. I actually signed up for HBO for this. We lost HBO after we moved out of an area with AT&T Fiber where it was bundled free for some reason so Ill finally be able to watch that Japanese Journo show again. But honestly Nathan if you are here bravo man the pilot is a masterpiece. I went in with high expectations and you still managed to impress.
I don't like that his shows are edited like Weird Al interviews where they remove the context to make it seem like people are reacting to things when they aren't. You can tell some of the people on there are fed lines to make them seem extra weird. It doesn't really make sense for this kind of show where the audience is meant to be "in on it", but we're being played as much as the victims of these schemes. Either let the audience be in on it or don't.
>but we're being played as much as the victims of these schemes
He's never claimed to be accurately representing reality. The whole show is about him manipulating others' perception of reality. Why would/should the audience be immune?
Hell, to expand on this, the show itself is presented entirely straight. From the get go it's "not letting you in on the joke". Nowhere does any episode say "we're not sincere about helping this business and you should laugh." All you have are the reactions and premises that are ridiculous and often genuinely hilarious.
Honestly what the frick do you say when the person you're out with is that absorbed in your phone they can't be assed to be your friend in the moment? I unironically learn small talk from Nathan for You and now this show which is embarassing.
That's a good one I am stealing that. The should I take off my shirt line might make a regular rotation too. Not too much though dont wanna get mistaken for Bert Kreischer.
I hate homosexuals like you. If we're hanging out at a bar we don't have to be conversing every single second. It's not like she was ignoring him the entire time and they weren't talking at all. Let people scroll on their phones sheesh

You can play with your phone as much as you want when you're at home, or on the bus or train or in the back of a cab, or at work when you don't feel like working, and in a hundred other instances.
When you're out with a friend or a date, you should not have your phone out unless it's for an immediate pragmatic purpose liking calling and Uber or looking up a schedule for somewhere the both of you are going. If one person is staring at their phone, then the entire onus for conversation falls on the person without the phone, which is totally rude and unfair.
Back in high school during lunch we'd have a regular group of 5-6 guys, and this one guy who I wasn't really friends with was constantly on his phone scrolling Twitter. But whenever the conversation got funny or interesting he'd start to chime in. It was totally rude, leaving us to do all of the legwork of having a conversation and then jumping in when we so happened to pique his interest.
Luckily I've never had any sort of chronic phone watcher experience when on a date, but if I did I'd just get up and leave.

If you're on a date yeah okay fine, but if you're having lunch or just chilling having a beer with your bros it's fine to casually be on your phone as long as you're still engaging in conversation. Even if no one was on their phone, you're not going to be talking 100% of the time anyway. When I'm out with someone and there's a lull in conversation and they check their phone for a couple minutes, I dont sperg out and demand they pay attention to me. This isn't a big deal lmao

Whenever one of the boys was stuck on their phone while we were hanging out, everyone would roast him with "oh do you have to call your mummy?" or "are you looking at gay porn?" It was seen as extremely rude and only really done by b***hy, sour girls who acted like they were better than their present company. I'm 33 though so it was a different time

34 here, I remember when having a phone at the table with company was considered comically rude like you're a trying to act like a stock broker in a movie or something. the times changed but we didn't
>Honestly what the frick do you say when the person you're out with is that absorbed in your phone they can't be assed to be your friend in the moment?
say "i've got something i need to tell you" or something to that effect
her attention was undivided when he started the speech and then started running of for the pizza, and she brought it up again instantly
Just saw it, it's absolutely great but i feel it's even harder to believe than Nathan for You. Since it's just the first episode and things tend to get even crazier with him i wonder what is next
I liked the part where he said it didn't land because the chairs were too different, followed by a cut shot of him sitting straight up in the set chair, then being awkwardly sunkin in Kor's chair lmao
Weirdly enough I found my palms getting sweaty as he was leering with forlorn hope at the pizza station. That buildup was something else. I didn't anticipate being that drawn in.
For real, I went in expecting a cheap laugh and ended getting emotionally invested and cheering for the guy. Like come on man just say it. Also it was so relatable being in that situation, frozen with fear, telling yourself to just say it... now.... now........ now
I have to force myself to sit through the stuff he makes. Not because its bad but this and nathan for you activate my social anxiety autismo and i have to look away, or skip ahead, or pause constantly
disagree
his literal moment of pause made me pause and there were other moments that were tough if you've been in that situation, it was fricking real man.
>Kor expected her to hate him after he told the truth >she didn't care at all
So what do we think anons, did she not care because he had rehearsed it perfectly or did she not care because she never would have cared?
I tend to think it's hard to gauge and indicative of how we blow up the smallest things in our own minds. I agree it's not anything that should matter but he'd been living the lie for 8 years so it's probably been built up so much in his mind. I wonder if in a way it turns out to be some statement on the liberating nature of honesty.
It's not so much that it was insignificant, but that he kept the lie going for all these years, to the point of setting up job interviews. Admitting to that would feel extremely awkward and could change the dynamic of the friendship
She was lonely, in a crowded place and just looking for someone she could b***h to for hours on end
Chance is even if she cared it wouldn't outweigh all those other circumstances
The whole point of the show is poking fun of the fact that we all have similar meaningless and petty insecurities to Kor and we go through herculean efforts to avoid them or overcome them, when I reality it's just really simple and people are truly just.understanding and generally good.
I think there's a few things going on >she's probably the more outspoken member of the group, and the most likely to call someone on their shit, hence why Kor was worried about her >Kor's her friend and she's not going to instantly start shitting on him for being vulnerable when it's just them alone, basic psychology
Any mean comments she makes will likely be more subtle. If they were in a big group, she might've exaggerated her outrage for the sake of getting attention. But now, she might just use it as ammo for the same reason whenever Kor is getting too popular. However, because they seemed to genuinely connect in the aftermath, she might let it go altogether.
I'm pretty sure Nathan was thinking of the worst when he said he was afraid of telling her specifically, i can imagine he was thinking she was going to go on a racist tirade or something. In truth, as soon as he did the interview and saw she couldn't shut the frick up for a second, i'm pretty sure right at that moment he knew Kor was safe and that the content would be middling, but it was genius to implant the trivia responses throughout the day, that was the real kicker in the episode. Also the marriage subplot went nowhere.
I'm surprised that it was as good as it was. Having been a huge Nathan For You fan I was sure that this couldn't possibly live up to the hype but it actually did.
She's clearly a bit of a sperg
She was just saying things to be nice because when a complete stranger confesses to lying, you just want to be nice and move the conversation along
kids before 35 is genuinely seen as being a young parent these days
When Fake Trish left during the one scene where she absolutely shits on Kor the curly haired dude did one of those "Frick, I want to look but I don't want to get caught looking" delayed reaction time double takes as she walked past. She's fat but she isn't gross, you know? Facial aesthetics go a long way is all I'm saying.
two things I want to say that I haven't seen anyone bring up:
1. I thought the twist at the end was that Kor would ignore everything ask her out, which is why he was actually so nervous
2.How sad is it that a woman in her 30s-40s is still complaining about her multiple roommates?? NY is fricked up man
They're just trivia buddies, it seems. At that age real friendships are rare, these people are just in a hobby group, which seems to be what Kor is so autistically afraid of breaking apart, the man really just wants to do his trivia in peace.
We're a lot of the extras people from Nathan for You? I swear I saw "The Hero" and the gas station attendant and the shy intern with the accent as people helping him scout the house.
That's just the beginning, the budget increased with each episode bar one. As we saw what he did with each episode the execs said it'd be ok to throw more money at him
I did yeah, in the sound/video/lights department. Can't say anything substantial obviously but can say the show gets better and better, last episode is the same as what finding frances was to NFY.
>The owner of the housecleaning service, Kandiie Tapia, is a Mexican immigrant. She was 22 when Fielder’s producers told her they wanted to interview her about how she had built her business. She felt honored that someone wanted to share her story and called her family to tell them the good news. But after the producers rushed her through the process of signing a contract, they “flipped a switch,” she said. During the taping, she found Fielder to be rude. He was in character, but she didn’t know that, or that his technique sometimes involved getting a rise out of a subject. At one point, Tapia said, he blew his nose in a tissue and then asked her if she would throw it out for him. “You’re the Help, right?” she recalled him asking her. (No such exchange made it into the episode.) “It was a power move,” she told me. “Like he’s white and I’m a minority and I’m young.”
Yikes!
That souvenir bit sucks tho. I didn't laugh either and I love the show. Like it or not, there are more than a few dud episodes
Also >dating anyone who's unironically enjoys Amy Schumer
Anybody else love the music playing during the intro of the show? Where he first does his introduction? >I'm not very good at meeting people for the first time
That entire part, music is so good. I think its a great introduction to the whole show, the music really sets the tone.
So far I like it. It is less crazy than Nathan for you but on the other hand he actually helps people and there is less uncomfortable cringe humor.
I am pretty sure the last episode of this season is going to be about Nathan rehearsing telling the truth to each person he helped this season.
Like how the first episode ended with him not telling the guy that he "cheated" on the bar quiz.
>Win trivia >Confess to a friend a deep secret he's been hiding for many years >Forms a deeper connection with a girl he probably likes
So was this the best night of Kor's life? Did Nathan try to manufacture it to be the best night of Kor's life? I wish Nathan did that for me.
I wish I could have asked out a girl in college with Nathan's help. I asked her out eventually but had I planned for every variable and left nothing to chance maybe she'd be my wife right now.
I tried to do this with a girl in college. Spent all summer planning the conversation. First question I asked her and she gave a different answer than one I had prepared for so I froze.
What was the budget for this show? Do you think Trish understood Nathan spent millions of dollars to give Kor the perfect chance to admit his secret that she probably didn't give more than 2 seconds of thought to? Do you think she's just now discovering what exactly she was involved in and the fact that Nathan had an HBO budget for such a small and silly thing?
You don't think it costs millions of dollars to hire a team to not only analyze but rebuild a complete replica of not only a warehouse but also a dude's apartment?
loved it just silly enough to still be believable

i could really feel the tension
It was killing me. I know that feeling when you rehearse something like crazy and still can barely get by
overthinking an unremarkable situation that doesn't matter to the point where you avoid it if you can? yes
the part where nathan is worried that a little joke he made didnt land perfectly and will ruin absolutely everything and he starts overanalyzing the effect it had is spot-on for having social anxiety. ill obsess for days over not saying "hello" to someone in exactly the right way
fess up boys, who else cried?
I'll admit it
at what?
I am marveling at that black dude's head. The scar on the back of his head. That bizarre fricking hairstyle. Jesus.
Hair transplant on the front and hair tattoo on the skull
>how much does hair transplanting cost? frick that
just give me a thin line of it at the front and tattoo in the rest
Why was he wearing a shirt in the pool?
I was distracted by Nathan trying to curl up and cover his junk to appear vulnerable.

>Thrifty Boy already went out of business
Shame. I would've loved to see it become a recurring element on the show
Thrifty Boy and Nathan setting up all the answers was the best part of the first episode.
Looks like autism kino is back on the menu
>the black actor telling him off after telling the truth about the trivia contest
>cut to him concealing the truth to the real black guy
K I N O
Wait did he not confess to the real black guy but then they only showed the actor's reaction?
Yes. He rehearsed it with the actor and didn't like the result so he never confessed to Kor for real.
Ahh, I took it that he admitted it to the black guy though the black guy had no reaction, hence why he just stared at him and then he told him he thought he was a good person because he didn't react like the worst case scenario in rehearsals.
>The scene when Kor refuses to play trivia poorly to focus on his confession.
That was the moment when I realized he was genuinely autistic
> That pizza scene
How can a show be so funny?
That was hilarious. The Chinese gunpowder scene was my favorite though.
I think this show is closest mankind has come to a physical, visible version of autism. This is the peak, NFY was just the long climb up.
>mfw pure imagination starts creeping in
Great first episode, looking forward to more.

Brilliant.
I want to frick that smug peanut.

That was honestly super impressive. That actress deserves more work, she got a basically all of that shit down from one conversation.
>That fricking "hat"
liked the episode but i feel like with nathan for you this show will get too repetitive, got to watch 5 more episodes of this gimmick play out? life's too short
It's not about the gimmick m8, its about the people. Same with Nathan for You, the real people is what makes these shows
apparently the rest of the episodes are a bit shorter, the pilot was filmed a lot earlier as usual for TV stuff
Do you think Nathan genuinely worries that he might be an awful person for making the type of shows he does?
Why? He never does anything legitimately bad, its only the people around him making the actual poor decisions
He's taking people with issues that are important to them and making a show where that problem is played for laughs and the show treats them like amusements in a zoo.
You don't think the show was presented in a way where we're meant to laugh at poor Kor?
No, we are meant to laugh at the awkwardness of the situation and the lengths Nathan goes to for the rehearsal. Maybe a bit too at the frivolousness of the secret.
Why do you think the show is trying to make fun of these people? I liked Kor.
If you laughed at him and not Nathan's whacky antics to get him to open up then you're the problem, not Nathan. He's literally just some guy thrust into a fantastical scenario. We aren't supposed to be all that entertained by Charlie Bucket - he's just our partner on Wonka's adventure
So you don't think showing us that he owns a book called "How to make love all night and drive women wild" is meant to make fun of him even a little?
It's Nathan being an awkward frick and pointing out/ joking about a book you wouldn't talk about with someone you've just met. Yeah it's weird but we've all got weird shit - you probably have something equally weird but will swear up and down you don't until Nathan comes into your house and points it out on national television
imagine if he pulled out my onaholes
I think you'll get along pretty well.
> you probably have something equally weird
Of course I do and if someone showed it on tv I would think they were deliberately trying to make fun of me.
how is that not fine to make fun of?
The guy had it in plain view in his door city entryway bookshelf so that makes it fair game
No, in fact I think Nathan for You and this show are some of the most wholesome comedy shows out there.
maybe normies would laugh at Kor, but I think most of the audience especially here is just relating with them
>I see you are in a low paying field with a masters degree would you like some help?
If only we had people as supportive as this around us lol
why are there always moron like you who think this show and NFY are somehow shitting on the characters he interacts with?
normalgays always need to feel morally superior about something
because sometimes people who have been on the show feel like the show shat one them.
even if nathan is well intentioned what he's doing he might still hurt people.
there is a terrifying number of people who can’t properly process information. they’re the ones who lean over and ask you what’s going on 100 times during a movie
Yeah my gf is like that. I love her, but dear god way too many people need everything completely explained to them.
most women get a pass because they’re just on their phone during the whole movie, so they’re literally just not paying attention
It’s likely the same guy in every thread spamming about this
no, his main passion is stage magic
no magician has feelings
Yes, and I think making the shows is counterintuitively therapeutic as a result.
of course not.. he's a israelite. He takes pleasure in humiliating the goyim on a global scale.
if he did he’d have moron chuds on the show like you, maybe even set you up on a date with a nice woman to reveal she’s trans
I curse the Chinese everyday for inventing gun powder.
That line fricking killed me.
>That look of pain and anguish feigning to be waiting for pizza but the internal struggle of revealing a secret he has held for 10 years and has practiced +20 times.
Total and absolute kino. I actually signed up for HBO for this. We lost HBO after we moved out of an area with AT&T Fiber where it was bundled free for some reason so Ill finally be able to watch that Japanese Journo show again. But honestly Nathan if you are here bravo man the pilot is a masterpiece. I went in with high expectations and you still managed to impress.
>bar trivia
People in New York are fricked up
I don't like that his shows are edited like Weird Al interviews where they remove the context to make it seem like people are reacting to things when they aren't. You can tell some of the people on there are fed lines to make them seem extra weird. It doesn't really make sense for this kind of show where the audience is meant to be "in on it", but we're being played as much as the victims of these schemes. Either let the audience be in on it or don't.
>but we're being played as much as the victims of these schemes
He's never claimed to be accurately representing reality. The whole show is about him manipulating others' perception of reality. Why would/should the audience be immune?
Hell, to expand on this, the show itself is presented entirely straight. From the get go it's "not letting you in on the joke". Nowhere does any episode say "we're not sincere about helping this business and you should laugh." All you have are the reactions and premises that are ridiculous and often genuinely hilarious.
Do you have any examples of this?
he doesn't
The webm, for one.
Pain.
Honestly what the frick do you say when the person you're out with is that absorbed in your phone they can't be assed to be your friend in the moment? I unironically learn small talk from Nathan for You and now this show which is embarassing.
I always say something like "put down the fricking gameboy"
That's a good one I am stealing that. The should I take off my shirt line might make a regular rotation too. Not too much though dont wanna get mistaken for Bert Kreischer.
have you thought about expanding your social interaction mentoring to include larry david in curb your enthusiasm?
I hate homosexuals like you. If we're hanging out at a bar we don't have to be conversing every single second. It's not like she was ignoring him the entire time and they weren't talking at all. Let people scroll on their phones sheesh
lmao mentally ill gameboy head
You sound like those homosexual boomers complaining about kids and their damn phones, meanwhile having a thousand hours clocked on candy crush
You can play with your phone as much as you want when you're at home, or on the bus or train or in the back of a cab, or at work when you don't feel like working, and in a hundred other instances.
When you're out with a friend or a date, you should not have your phone out unless it's for an immediate pragmatic purpose liking calling and Uber or looking up a schedule for somewhere the both of you are going. If one person is staring at their phone, then the entire onus for conversation falls on the person without the phone, which is totally rude and unfair.
Back in high school during lunch we'd have a regular group of 5-6 guys, and this one guy who I wasn't really friends with was constantly on his phone scrolling Twitter. But whenever the conversation got funny or interesting he'd start to chime in. It was totally rude, leaving us to do all of the legwork of having a conversation and then jumping in when we so happened to pique his interest.
Luckily I've never had any sort of chronic phone watcher experience when on a date, but if I did I'd just get up and leave.
If you're on a date yeah okay fine, but if you're having lunch or just chilling having a beer with your bros it's fine to casually be on your phone as long as you're still engaging in conversation. Even if no one was on their phone, you're not going to be talking 100% of the time anyway. When I'm out with someone and there's a lull in conversation and they check their phone for a couple minutes, I dont sperg out and demand they pay attention to me. This isn't a big deal lmao
Whenever one of the boys was stuck on their phone while we were hanging out, everyone would roast him with "oh do you have to call your mummy?" or "are you looking at gay porn?" It was seen as extremely rude and only really done by b***hy, sour girls who acted like they were better than their present company. I'm 33 though so it was a different time
34 here, I remember when having a phone at the table with company was considered comically rude like you're a trying to act like a stock broker in a movie or something. the times changed but we didn't
>Honestly what the frick do you say when the person you're out with is that absorbed in your phone they can't be assed to be your friend in the moment?
say "i've got something i need to tell you" or something to that effect
her attention was undivided when he started the speech and then started running of for the pizza, and she brought it up again instantly
In her defense I think this was after the whole pizza thing where he assumed his order was ready but actually wasn't.
realest fricking moment I've ever seen on tv
Dude. It took actual courage for the guy to go through with it and say it. I'm so happy for him.
And she didn't seem to care, and was pretty understanding. I thought it was going to be super awkward, and hard to watch. Nice job, Kor.
Then when Nathan asked him how it went, all he could talk about was winning trivia. Not this huge weight he got off his chest. Kino.
Just saw it, it's absolutely great but i feel it's even harder to believe than Nathan for You. Since it's just the first episode and things tend to get even crazier with him i wonder what is next
not on any of my pirate stream sites so I'm gonna have to pass
fmovies but im not gonna give you the right domain to use
I genuinely can't determine whether this is scripted or "real," at least as much as NFY was
i'm waiting for the finale to reveal everything has all just been a rehearsal for nathan trying to make a tv show to top his old one.
cheap chick in the city is a real blog for what it's worth
cheap chick in the city
Cheap check in the city
cheap . . . chick . . . in the city?
to be fair, it was a pretty funny joke
holy shit I know someone like that and all it makes me want to do is keep fricking with them? am I a monster?
>I should invest in them.
>Are they expensive?
>No, no.
I liked the part where he said it didn't land because the chairs were too different, followed by a cut shot of him sitting straight up in the set chair, then being awkwardly sunkin in Kor's chair lmao
Nathan's right that chair is fricking awful
>shits in your house
>laughs about it
>gives you this look
wwyd?
cheap
chick
in the city
cheap chick in the city?
cheap chique in the city
cheap chick in the city
>Nathan constantly subtly shitting on Kor's friend
reminder you're being gaslit by nathan by watching this
Weirdly enough I found my palms getting sweaty as he was leering with forlorn hope at the pizza station. That buildup was something else. I didn't anticipate being that drawn in.
For real, I went in expecting a cheap laugh and ended getting emotionally invested and cheering for the guy. Like come on man just say it. Also it was so relatable being in that situation, frozen with fear, telling yourself to just say it... now.... now........ now
Oh god the pizza thing where he started to say it then the bell went off so he thought it was his pizza
it's over
He’s firing on all cylinders, absolute kino
Very much in the same mode as Finding Frances here
absolutely psychotic premise but the ending was kinda sweet
this is the next level, biggest innovation in comedy since office and ali g/borat
>DUDE THIS IS SOOOO INNOVATIVE BRO IT’S LIKE NEXT LEVEL
>JUST LIKE THE OFFICE SPACE RIPOFF AND THE israeli VERSION OF CANDID CAMERA
Seethe more israelite
I have to force myself to sit through the stuff he makes. Not because its bad but this and nathan for you activate my social anxiety autismo and i have to look away, or skip ahead, or pause constantly
Fellow constant pauser here. It’s tough.
I am in a similar situation, but so far the new show had zero of these unconformable moments you speak off
That's not true at all and I'm wondering if you have legitimate Asperger's or the tism
Example, people don't ask others if the conversation is going well out of the blue
disagree
his literal moment of pause made me pause and there were other moments that were tough if you've been in that situation, it was fricking real man.
you really couldn't be any more wrong.
homosexual.
Call down there buddy. It’s ok for people to have different experiences and reactions than yours.
Borat Jr.
If this pilot episode was shot 2019 pre-covid then I wonder how covid affected the episodes that came after it.
surely she has an onlyfans right?
I was so hoping they would bring her up when he said he was married for 3 years.
SUCH A HILARIOUS RANDOM AUTISTIC PIC OMFG
seethe harder nate
>that exchange between Fake and Real Tricia on the bench
Real Tricia's reaction to the lie about the daughter was side ascending.
it took me a few seconds to get that she told a lie to gauge how trish would react to confessing a lie
funny stuff
complaining about roommates at 40 is so grim
Dude it’s all so grim!!! Mfw no gf tho!
What was she, like an Uber eats driver? Yeah that was actually really depressing.
>Kor expected her to hate him after he told the truth
>she didn't care at all
So what do we think anons, did she not care because he had rehearsed it perfectly or did she not care because she never would have cared?
no one would care, its so insignificant
I tend to think it's hard to gauge and indicative of how we blow up the smallest things in our own minds. I agree it's not anything that should matter but he'd been living the lie for 8 years so it's probably been built up so much in his mind. I wonder if in a way it turns out to be some statement on the liberating nature of honesty.
It's not so much that it was insignificant, but that he kept the lie going for all these years, to the point of setting up job interviews. Admitting to that would feel extremely awkward and could change the dynamic of the friendship
look at how she put him down on the same level as her sister who only got her GED
she will lord over Kor as long as he's alive
Yes.
She was lonely, in a crowded place and just looking for someone she could b***h to for hours on end
Chance is even if she cared it wouldn't outweigh all those other circumstances
The whole point of the show is poking fun of the fact that we all have similar meaningless and petty insecurities to Kor and we go through herculean efforts to avoid them or overcome them, when I reality it's just really simple and people are truly just.understanding and generally good.
I think there's a few things going on
>she's probably the more outspoken member of the group, and the most likely to call someone on their shit, hence why Kor was worried about her
>Kor's her friend and she's not going to instantly start shitting on him for being vulnerable when it's just them alone, basic psychology
Any mean comments she makes will likely be more subtle. If they were in a big group, she might've exaggerated her outrage for the sake of getting attention. But now, she might just use it as ammo for the same reason whenever Kor is getting too popular. However, because they seemed to genuinely connect in the aftermath, she might let it go altogether.
I'm pretty sure Nathan was thinking of the worst when he said he was afraid of telling her specifically, i can imagine he was thinking she was going to go on a racist tirade or something. In truth, as soon as he did the interview and saw she couldn't shut the frick up for a second, i'm pretty sure right at that moment he knew Kor was safe and that the content would be middling, but it was genius to implant the trivia responses throughout the day, that was the real kicker in the episode. Also the marriage subplot went nowhere.
I'm surprised that it was as good as it was. Having been a huge Nathan For You fan I was sure that this couldn't possibly live up to the hype but it actually did.
Nathan has done it again.
Anyone else think the woman wanted to bang Kor?
>39 seems a little young to have a daughter
wtf?
She's clearly a bit of a sperg
She was just saying things to be nice because when a complete stranger confesses to lying, you just want to be nice and move the conversation along
kids before 35 is genuinely seen as being a young parent these days
recreating that stupid hat was great
that actress did an amazing job actually impersonating her
She was cute. I was hoping at the end he hooked up with the actress
When Fake Trish left during the one scene where she absolutely shits on Kor the curly haired dude did one of those "Frick, I want to look but I don't want to get caught looking" delayed reaction time double takes as she walked past. She's fat but she isn't gross, you know? Facial aesthetics go a long way is all I'm saying.
her and kor to a lesser extent legit have untreated mental illness
That's just your typical New Yorker
Trish the Dish
She was so unlikable. I wouldn’t be able to handle 2 minutes of talking to her.
The actress playing her was cute tho
two things I want to say that I haven't seen anyone bring up:
1. I thought the twist at the end was that Kor would ignore everything ask her out, which is why he was actually so nervous
2.How sad is it that a woman in her 30s-40s is still complaining about her multiple roommates?? NY is fricked up man
I agree she mogged the actual Trish
why did she keep licking the pen?
So they are friends for like 10 years and talk like strangers who have just met lol
He said the confession led to this being the first time they've every had a deeper conversation
you seem too autistic to understand there are different friendships
They're just trivia buddies, it seems. At that age real friendships are rare, these people are just in a hobby group, which seems to be what Kor is so autistically afraid of breaking apart, the man really just wants to do his trivia in peace.
Is this on anything in the UK?
In Poland it will be available from July 30th, maybe it's the same there.
We're a lot of the extras people from Nathan for You? I swear I saw "The Hero" and the gas station attendant and the shy intern with the accent as people helping him scout the house.
It's days like this I curse the chinese for inventing gunpowder.
bump
I'm surprised they gave him enough money to autistically recreate 2 separate rooms for 1 episode.
That's just the beginning, the budget increased with each episode bar one. As we saw what he did with each episode the execs said it'd be ok to throw more money at him
Do you work on the show?
I did yeah, in the sound/video/lights department. Can't say anything substantial obviously but can say the show gets better and better, last episode is the same as what finding frances was to NFY.
Is it Nathan rehearsing to try and get his ex-wife back?
Watching this was my wife's first Nathan experience. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
My wife thinks Nathan For You is hilarious but cannot sit and watch an entire episode without getting uncomfortable. I am unsure what causes this
She actually has social intelligence. The whole point is to make you feel uncomfortable. If you don't, you're just as autistic as the character
Empathy you actual autist
Any time a man says the word "empathy", you just know he's a fricking cuck. Makes me sick
I know this is probably bait but it’s legitimately one of the saddest things I’ve read on this board.
Captcha was TWATDX
She's cheating on you anon and doesn't know how to tell you.
i heard she was in the process of recreating their apartment so she could act out how to tell him
Interesting concept with some funny moments, not as side stitching as Nathan for you. Will prob continue to watch though
Nathan Fielder is what Sam Hyde wishes to be.
>designs a scenario where he can get away with calling someone a Black person
What did he mean by this?
>Are you done having your tantrum?
There is no way he didn't realize in retrospect that Nathan was feeding him the answers on those strolls
When he was answering the recumbent bicycle question, I was sure he was piecing it together.
There’s zero chance he didn’t know on the Burj Khalifa answer
>The owner of the housecleaning service, Kandiie Tapia, is a Mexican immigrant. She was 22 when Fielder’s producers told her they wanted to interview her about how she had built her business. She felt honored that someone wanted to share her story and called her family to tell them the good news. But after the producers rushed her through the process of signing a contract, they “flipped a switch,” she said. During the taping, she found Fielder to be rude. He was in character, but she didn’t know that, or that his technique sometimes involved getting a rise out of a subject. At one point, Tapia said, he blew his nose in a tissue and then asked her if she would throw it out for him. “You’re the Help, right?” she recalled him asking her. (No such exchange made it into the episode.) “It was a power move,” she told me. “Like he’s white and I’m a minority and I’m young.”
Yikes!
>I had the gun loaded with blanks so we’d have a shared experience of being bad ad skeet shooting
What's worse is, who the frick would name their own progeny "Skeet"?
I believe "kor skeet" is a fake name
Is it salvageable?
That souvenir bit sucks tho. I didn't laugh either and I love the show. Like it or not, there are more than a few dud episodes
Also
>dating anyone who's unironically enjoys Amy Schumer
Interesting, the souvenir shop is one of the best IMO
They're both cringe comedy
I have never been able to watch cringe comedy
it's definitely one of the shows of this year
>and the loser of tonight's trivia is... kor skeet
>I...
>Well, I...was trying to...
>Pleasedontgo
Anybody else love the music playing during the intro of the show? Where he first does his introduction?
>I'm not very good at meeting people for the first time
That entire part, music is so good. I think its a great introduction to the whole show, the music really sets the tone.
I couldn't get passed the first episode. It's just so dumb. I don't understand the appeal at all.
t. Tricia
You might be better off watching Amy Schumer's newest special
I liked this part
She breast fkn biggggg
Good morning sir
yeah that bounce
So far I like it. It is less crazy than Nathan for you but on the other hand he actually helps people and there is less uncomfortable cringe humor.
I am pretty sure the last episode of this season is going to be about Nathan rehearsing telling the truth to each person he helped this season.
Like how the first episode ended with him not telling the guy that he "cheated" on the bar quiz.
I kinda want the season finale to be a reveal that Nathan was fooling the audience the whole time. Some kind of absurd 4th wall breaking rehearsal.
Assuming every episode has a Trish and a Kor, it would be funny to find out all the Trishes have been rehearsing their responses too.
Nathan is in these threads
I hope he notices me and says "hey anon, you're a pretty cool guy and I would've loved to study at business school with you"
i hope so, i'd love to crack a mother effin beer with him
door city over here
The real question is did Kor and Tricia end up together?
I was sad when she didn't come home with him.
Torrent already?
torrent was out within 30 minutes of it going up on hbo
Are you a Thrifty Boy?
>Unlisted
>240 views
nathan?
How was this found? The thrifty boy page is just a bunch of text, there's no links or actual articles or anything.
there's an anon in the thread that said he worked on the show
test
The premise of the show with Nathans autistic demeanour is so funny. He is a really brilliant comic actor.
>Win trivia
>Confess to a friend a deep secret he's been hiding for many years
>Forms a deeper connection with a girl he probably likes
So was this the best night of Kor's life? Did Nathan try to manufacture it to be the best night of Kor's life? I wish Nathan did that for me.
Nathan is a functional schizoid
what would you rehearse with nathan, bros?
ligma
I wish I could have asked out a girl in college with Nathan's help. I asked her out eventually but had I planned for every variable and left nothing to chance maybe she'd be my wife right now.
I tried to do this with a girl in college. Spent all summer planning the conversation. First question I asked her and she gave a different answer than one I had prepared for so I froze.
Telling my wife she's an alcoholic and needs to cut down on her drinking
asking out the cute girl at work
which would probably be a boring ass premise tbh
Cheap Check in the City.
>I just overheard their conversation HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE!!
that shit made me lose it
>My friendship with you means a great deal
>Me too
What was the budget for this show? Do you think Trish understood Nathan spent millions of dollars to give Kor the perfect chance to admit his secret that she probably didn't give more than 2 seconds of thought to? Do you think she's just now discovering what exactly she was involved in and the fact that Nathan had an HBO budget for such a small and silly thing?
>millions of dollars
You don't think it costs millions of dollars to hire a team to not only analyze but rebuild a complete replica of not only a warehouse but also a dude's apartment?
building a set costs much less than building the actual thing it replicates
tfw trish the dish now questions every one of your answers at trivia night because you don't have a masters degree
who else is saying
"a little buzz, because I'm sure someone's been plucking on your nerves" anytime they give a drink now?
In all of these nathan for you threads I have yet to see some links. Must not be a very good show, then
This isn't a Nathan for you thread its a rehearsal thread and there's only one episode that just came out
