Nathan For You

on spotify too!

"he gets them back on the show! it means he's HELPING them." smh

I don't think the show helps anyone, it's not clear it's harmed anyone though

The most uncomfortable I can recall being was during the manipulation of the "girlfriend" from last season's "Hero" episode

Best new music?

someone with juice make this happen

Next season Nathan crowdsources enough money to buy out Conde Nast just so he can give a song BNM.

A Nathan thing would be to help an indie artist get BNM by putting out EPs that all get at least 3.2 scores (minimal effort), and then releasing them as a compilation album, assuring at least a 9.6 rating.

ahaha

I'm not sure what Nathan was going for with this episode, but as far as punchlines in search of a joke go, his cool record producer outfits were the best.

actually getting that song to go viral somehow was clearly the goal but there's no way with that fucking beeping noise

god, kirsten dunst telling a wedding anecdote with a drug mixup story just before nathan is just the best thing ever

(also, even in that little snippet they show - she didn't realize the weed in the blunt was real until AFTER they smoked the whole thing? no wonder it was the highest she'd ever been, that was probably her first time)

"orphaned skies" still has <1000 plays on spotify, i don't know how it's possible

In time the Earth will have to stomach what we spew
And face the trees we killed before they grew
From your disconnected heart you
Play the part, and take it to heart
It's true you believe in every word you say
Spied one relevance release
The hard truth sink in latch
You would sit the spot, incentivize the plot into
The monetary value you can frame
Into something heavenly unveil
To God still link at once to justify your work or rectify your curse

So when we look up at the sun
Her eyes go wide, we hear the hum
Of our faith, our hopeful eyes
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
It's time to revolutionize
It's time to revolutionize
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
We're bringing home those orphaned skies

Times are shifting, you can feel it in the sway
You can feel it in the words our hearts convey
The rhythm of these anxious hands
The melody expands in order to enchant and
Prove there's beauty to be had within the dance
Of sunlight in the ocean's lulling trance
It's time to open up our hearts
I'm groping in the dark
And bring the world out from its tomb

So when we look up at the sun
Her eyes go wide, we hear the hum
Of our faith, our hopeful eyes
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
It's time to revolutionize
It's time to revolutionize
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
It's time to revolutionize
It's time to revolutionize
We're bringing home those orphaned skies
We're bringing home those orphaned skies

it’s up to 5669 (nice)

I guess artists just feel more than the rest of us do

Times are shifting, you can feel it in the sway
You can feel it in the words our hearts convey
The rhythm of these anxious hands
The melody expands in order to enchant and
Prove there's beauty to be had within the dance
Of sunlight in the ocean's lulling trance
It's time to open up our hearts
I'm groping in the dark
And bring the world out from its tomb

love that part

i totally missed out on this show. i've only seen maybe 4 full episodes? whenever i watch one i literally do it through my fingers like https://i.imgur.com/UtOnN9y.jpg

Nathan's background in improv is clear in his interviews, funny and spontaneous guy

"are we done with the banter now?"

Smoke detector episode was a bust

Felt pretty bad for the band members too

if you don't like the cringier moments of the show then definitely don't watch this last episode

that said the implication that Nathan's plan actually kinda did work in the end was pretty amusing

My wife is not a fan of the current season. She felt the past seasons had more emotion/heart to them. Which might be true! Smokers Allowed, the Hero episode, those things are emotionally epic and in many ways thought provoking. The new season is mostly just ... weird.

sorry your wife feels that way

there is a 2 hour season finale about finding the Bill Gates impersonator's wife, so maybe they're saving that stuff

what if Nathan for You did an episode about the ghost busters? pic.twitter.com/FuClMGSbha

Maria garcia seems like a real sweetheart

Also: i hate to say it, but i dont think i need a two hour episode.

I'm glad she found her dream guy

The cut to Maria Garcia's face with the messed-up lipstick right as Salomon is asking her out is one the most brutal jokes in the history of the show. I have to say, Nathan's treatment of Salomon makes me uncomfortable in general, in much the same way that his continued targeting of business owners with a shaky grasp of English creeps me out a bit.

has finale aired yet?

next week

uh... wow

spoiler ?

removed... what was it?

It was

here's the video

There aas a hidden message in the closed captioms of #NathanForYou and I'm sad now. Geez this show is smart, sad, and funny pic.twitter.com/LSe4KG4mxI

given that he devotes an entire 18 months of his life to produce four hours of TV I guess that's understandable

fuck, don't know why it didn't tape...

Should be up on cc.com though.

We hear him say exactly what's in the subtitles? Am I missing something here?

yes

he definitely doesn't say that last part

oic. yeah, seems understandable tbh.

he's got the cutest sad look, i'm sorry, but it's true.

He mixes convincing realness + the Nathan For You character so well, especially in this last episode. Like when he had the escort watch an episode in front of him. He was being the Nathan For You character acting as if out of character: not acknowledging the show is a comedy but also not denying it, going along with the accusation that he is lying to people but not suggesting it's for humor. It's a weird overlap.

That subtitle addition could simply be a joke, his actual feelings and a joke at once, his character's feelings and a joke... who knows.

So much pathos. Watching the finale felt like watching a tragicomedy by Samuel Beckett.

Wow, this episode. My wife said it was super weird (it was) but redeemed all the episodes this season she didn't like. At the same time, this was the first time she literally had to cover her eyes once in discomfort.

The way this one shifted from tragic to hopeful to scary to weird to sad to sentimental ... I noticed there were, what, 6 or 7 credited writers on it? I wonder how they put something like this episode together.

It's sadly fitting that when Nathan's NFY character finally finds a semblance of human connection, it's through a relationship that's really an ongoing business transaction.
