I understand his comedy style and why people consider him funny, but I absolutely detested Nathan for You. It's like watching a real world Michael Scot

No shite. What a fricking loser & weirdo. He pissed me off

I hate it for black people that he had to be so stereotypical

The night owl guy too. Oregons just chock full of weirdos. stereotypes exist for a reason I guess

There is something really creepy to me about the child actors they shuffle in and out.

This tweet encapsulates the essence of Nathan Fielder pretty well:

the best part of any nathan fielder show is when he goes “oh okay” after someone says the most insane thing you’ve ever heard in your life


I also love that the faux Alligator Lounge is still standing in their warehouse

There’s been some really terrible arguments online about Fielder being manipulative in these shows and how the show is bad because of it

Mostly I think it’s just think piece writers looking for their next big think piece and who either have no concept of Nathan Fielder or had never seen the show but needed to get a take off

All those people got crushed by a wave of people telling them to STFU I can’t see how you can watch the people in these shows being absolute batshit and volunteering completely and being like “wow Nathan is really making these guys seem crazy!” they’ve found some of the most innocuously insane people you can

I feel like this is leading towards like an entire town or something where everything is rehearsed and performed and each episode is building a piece of it (Canes, the bar, the farm/house)

That shot where she’s fake eating had to be accidental and Nathan saw it and was like oh yeah that’s going in

Manipulative? They realize that 99% of people on there are actors, right?

Yeah it’s dumb like I said the main person who started the whole thing was talking about the Scion guy, and somehow they got the impression from the Vice article that he was just manipulated into looking like an a-hole on TV. The person later admitted they never have seen the show and solely went on the Vice article (which is insane because the dude comes off even crazier in that article than the show)

Plus it’s essentially reality TV at some level, which is the purest form of manipulation entertainment and no one ever seems to have a problem with that

It’s all fake…

Now some of the people on Nathan for You, yes, they were unsuspecting.

But no way The Rehearsal is anything but scripted.

You think the Scion guy, the crazy arse farm lady, and the guy from the canes episode were on a script (not talking about the literal script he’s building for the rehearsal)?

I don’t buy that at all. That’s not Nathan’s forte. He’s building a fake construct around real people. This isn’t a sitcom in that sense

Yes… the shite that came out of their mouths and interactions were too extreme not to be.

Out of all of the people this far, the first guy he helped was the most likely to be legit. He didn’t say anything overly weird or crazy.

If this were true...wouldn't people that know these folks speak out about how they are nothing like what you see on the show and that they are acting?

You do realize that all reality tv is scripted too, right?

Do you see any of those people speaking out that they are nothing like what they are portrayed?
