I want to know the story behind this video. Looking at their YouTube channel, they only have a handful of videos. It seems pretty unlikely that they reached out to Nathen. Did he reach out to them? Did he just message a bunch of YouTube channels to see if anyone would agree to interviewing him?

Also that channel's whole joke seems to be making people uncomfortable. But Nathen seems to have no idea how to run with it and cannot handle being mocked or roasted in any way, despite the fact that he probably chose them and presumably knew what he was getting himself into.

ive been following this thread for a while now and you know, at the beginning i was so entergaged you wouldnt even believe it but the longer it goes on the more i cant help but dwell on what a waste it all is. how like even a small fraction of the money his rich dad threw at him just to make him be away (that he might as well have just blended into garfaccinos) could have DONE SO MUCH GOOD IN THE WORLD. like clearly, for all the bad you can say about nathan he at least has some amount of drive as long as it results in him getting attention. imagine if he had channeled it into something worthwhile; start up a loving garfield branded animal shelter or organize fundraisers for lgbtq youth who are struggling or if for whatever reason food absolutely must be involved develop some kind of distrubution network to put a gd lasanga into the hands of the homeless or food insecure i dont know im not a rich failson but LITERALLY ANYTHING, anything at all would have been less of a waste...

and yet, this is what we have. i wonder how much it cost to have someone write produce and perform that song.

so against my better judgement, I watched the intro to that "documentary" video again and it showed a person working at Garfield Eats named "Noel" in the opening credits, but god help me I don't want to watch the whole thing twice, but i don't remember that person being in the video at all. maybe Noel didnt sign the release?

Smells Like GarfEats
by Nermalvana

Load up on tums, bring your friends
It's fun to chow down and to distend
I'm over-fed and self-assured
Oh ho, I know a kitty purred

Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello

With the lasagna, he's real generous
Here we Garf now, entergage us
I love Nathen, he's outrageous
Here we Garf now, entergage us
In Toronto, an Epinardo, a Garfeccino, my Giardino
Yeah, hey

A tangy sauce full of zest
And for this gift I am blessed
Our little Garf has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello

With the lasagna, he's real generous
Here we Garf now, entergage us
I love Nathen, he's outrageous
Here we Garf now, entergage us
In Toronto, an Epinardo, a Garfeccino, my Giardino
Yeah, hey

And I regret just what I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it shakes up bile
A mound of lard, so unrefined
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello, how meow
Hello, hello, hello

With the lasagna, he's real generous
Here we Garf now, entergage us

There was an old timey Australian vaudeviĺlian & film comedian named Roy Rene whose character, Mo, had a beard/stubble a lot like Nathen's.


But unlike Nathen, Mo was actually (intentionally) funny.

After watching the Mazri interview video above, part of me just wants to see another of an interviewer repeatedly slapping Nathen's face, hard.

Does this make me a bad person?

To be fair, when you're put on the spot like that like with those two in the video, who are going out of their way to make it as awkward as possible, it's probably not easy to naturally roll with it. But even then, Nathen's responses, mannerisms, everything, read like a computer algorithm trying to emulate how a real human might respond in those situations.

If you request to go on between two ferns you should expect to be put between two ferns. To be honest I’m pretty sure he also paid them to do that.

What Nathen really wants is celebrity as a performer. All the Garfield marketing stunts aren't a desperate attempt to save a failing business. The failing business is an excuse to perform the marketing stunts. It's why he's willing to allow some self-deprecation as the clownish Garfield guy. Because being famous as a 'comedian' is more important to Nathen than being a successful entrepreneur. His whole marketing/social media/ tech bullshit career was just to please his dad.

If he had talent and genuine self-awareness, he could be David Brent 2.0 or create a kayfabe persona like some reality and Youtube stars. But despite all the acting and improv classes, this is what his conscious attempts at comedy produce.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yutQiCSUNOQ

I just brought myself to watch this. It reminds me a lot of the school camp 'talent night' skits we used to knock up when I was a kid. Simplistic script, lame jokes, and poorly acted.

1 star (for the other production values), do not recommend.
