Nathan For You

[Gotters]

I heard Stanhope mention it on Rogan too and found series one on Comedy Central catch up on my sky box.

 

watched ep1 and thought it was amusing, nothing more than that, but will definitely watch more

There’s an obvious increase in budget from season 2 onwards, and an increase in crazy ideas. The electronics store episode is one of the funniest bits of TV I’ve seen

A bit of a pointless video really as it doesn’t teach anyone who’s seen the show anything they didn’t know already, but it’s a good overview of the series if you haven’t seen it. Genuinely one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

 

I watched season 3 and 4 a few months back and it just gets funnier and even more ridiculous as it goes on.

Just watching series 1. 

 

Holy fucking shit this is hilarious and painful to watch and yet it's still heartfelt and seems like it's not malicious. 

 

Turns out Americans can do sarcasm.

Just died laughing watching ep 5 of series with one line. 

 

Have you ever had a threesome? 

 

 

[Capwn]

I came here hoping there may be a new season  

 

Cassidy, it only gets better. Minus the 1 or 2 misfires per season.

Claw of shame is insanity. Then you have the realtor exorcism episode and that was madness as well.

Seems this picked up steam again as it's now on amazon prime for free, I'm currently watching it all through again, up to S3. Some observations...

 

- There are way more ideas than I remember, I forgot some episodes can go back and fourth between multiple different ideas.

- I almost forgot just how awkward/cringe Nathan acts around people.

- It's a bit more mean spirited then I recall, especially the first couple of seasons. Nathan is always the joke but he does cross the line here and there, like forcibly trying to snatch a contract away from someone multiple times. 

- I forgot how sentimental the show can be about life in general. "I realized I had become no better than the corporation I was trying to defeat. That in my efforts to take down Best Buy, I became the Worst Guy." (along with sentimental music)

- When watching it all together, the repeat cameos are somehow funnier

- I really find myself wanting to know how many scenes were REALLY put together. There are a few youtube essays on Nathan but they tend to talk about his character and what the show is really trying to say etc. I just want to know things like 'Did they REALLY put a child in a sound proof box in that episode? There is no way that actually happened?', etc

- I still have absolutely no idea what that 'Absolutely' thing is at the end. 

- I never saw the post credit 'extra' scenes at the end, when I downloaded them they always cut off before 

 

It's still the best comedy outside of the UK in my books

Oh, wow! I only checked a few weeks back if this was on any streaming services and it was only available for purchase.

 

We loved season 1 but then couldn't easily get hold of it.

 

Already looking forward to wayching this tonight 😃

I think everyone in this thread will enjoy How To With John Wilson.

Give it a go if you haven't already!

I'm 4 episodes in to 'How To' and loving it. Very like Nathan, in that I have no idea where any episode is likely to take me. Some properly jaw dropping moments in it. Especially with episode 4.

Just wait til you get to episode 6

Have just watched the first two episodes of How To, and absolutely loving it. As someone who also takes photos of things I see out and about that I find absurd it really speaks to me. 

[Art Vandelay]

I was just watching the Santa episode and the bit where he can’t tell him the mall won’t have him is just so amazing. It’s like one tiny look and zero words and it makes my chest ache from laughing.

Is How To available to watch anywhere legally in the UK?

Sadly not! You can't even pay to watch it.

 

Oh and side note- having now finished season one, I could listen to John trying to get his landlady's attention all day.

Mamma!
