This dude is a hilarious phenomenon but I don’t know what to post ITT other than just repeating Chapo and CumTown jokes about him.

As painful as the dude is to watch, I'm somewhat inured to his stylings inasmuch as I've taken my share of improv classes and there's a variation on Dan Nainan in pretty much every improv class (nb, I was probably the Dan Nainan a time or two).

Actually, if the Nainan you get in your class is only at Nainan levels of O_o you're fairly lucky (example: for those aware of his infamous audition video, I had two improv classes with Br00ks Chr1sty).

getting total backstage access, plus a cut of the door money.
performing for up to an hour and a half in between several other pre-scheduled acts.
drink tickets good for up to two, possibly three, mixes drinks (well liquor).

Dan Nainan is a complete sociopath who used to lie to get on bills with Bob Schimmel & then called Schimmel's relatives after he died and told them what a piece of shit Schimmel was.

dude is utterly shameless, absolutely terrible at his job, and brazenly lies about himself to get ahead, he's actually the perfect comedian for the Donald Trump era

btw I sat through that ENTIRE Tesla set, I think he gets three laughs in thirty minutes
not three jokes that land mind you, I mean three individual laughs from three individual people
there's something actively surreal about it, as many of the comments (totally pro-read btw) have pointed out it's like a TED talk, except he randomly goes "aaaanyway..." and changes topics. it's like those vids of the Big Bang Theory with all the laughter removed. it's actively uncomfortable and if I sat through the whole thing one of you should too

This is the guy who rambles on for ages and finishes with a horribly formed 'joke' after which he goes to great lengths to explain why the joke was funny, right?

Dan Nainan will be performing comedy at one of the Inaugural Balls. Hopefully it goes better than this interview did. (by @ToddDracula) pic.twitter.com/XVfYX9iTLp— CAFE (@cafedotcom) January 17, 2017

(Imagine this being said Jamie’s very thick Iranian-Jewish accent.)
I'm still sitting here wide-eyed at this aside in the anecdote kicking off the thread
I want clarification on whether Dan does a funny fake accent when he relates this irl

the best thing about that samsung galaxy note 7 joke clip is that he emphasizes that the bombing had been a year ago, which means he has kept that joke in his rotation for a full year, to the point that he actually has to remind people of the context, since it was actually not that major an event.
