Fitzy Fitz posted:Cheap Chick in the City? Cheap. Chick. In the city. I'm absolutely loving this show because it's so similar to my absolute favorite episode of NFY, Smokers Allowed. I literally can't make it through that episode without crying big ugly tears during his final interaction with the actress bartender. They spent WEEKS of hard work and rehearsals to painstakingly recreate an hour of basically nothing. They put on a show of it and people in the audience are just like "whatever"; I think one even falls asleep in the middle. But when Nathan interviews the fake bartender, he's doing that bit where he asks her to say that she loved it over and over. He admits that he knows it's not real and he just likes to hear her say it, when she stops him and clarifies that no, she actually loved it.  It seems to catch Nathan off guard for a moment.Christ I'm tearing up just typing that. I've worked with student music ensembles for decades where we rehearse for months to put on a show, and sometimes the score the judges give the group are bad, the audience reaction is lukewarm and it's like "Welp, season over. Time to go home. We suck" but you have to remember that it's the ones participating in the show whose lives are the most changed. It's not for nothing!!!

Phenotype posted:Is that what's happening?? I hate broadcast TV, just drop the episode at midnight (or often at like 9pm the day before) and let us get to it whenever we have time. I have no problem with an episode dropping on a streaming service at the same time it premieres live, but this show absolutely deserves a 9:00 PM time slot

Comrade Fakename posted:Nathan Fakery chat My wife refused at first to believe that Robin is a real person and not an actor, which is ridiculous because of COURSE insane people like that exist, and it’s not even that hard to imagine they’d find a way to get on TV, like this. I think the thing that set her on that path though is just how normal Robin appeared at first. Even the first time he told the story about crashing his Scion TC at 100 miles per hour (you guys remember that?) it initially sounds kinda cool and makes you go “what kind of life was this guy living before he got Saved?” (Not unlike Angela’s much tamer example of “drinking 40’s and smoking weed on the street corner”, which I’m sure she probably did exactly once) When Robin slowly starts revealing his true self, I can see how it might set off some people’s alarm bells as too wild to be real. But for me, there’s no doubt in my mind that Robin Is Real, as presented on this show. Especially with the further Twitter evidence from his brother, which is what finally convinced my wife

The cold open of this episode had me cackling. Without even knowing why they were doing it, the tense music with the clearly tense mood on set while they were doing the baby swap just had me thinking, Jesus Christ what the gently caress has this man gotten himself into now. Even though the reveal was somewhat underwhelming (just another one of the many legally required baby swaps to uphold the illusion of one kid) just thinking about what could have possibly wrought the situation unfolding on my screen was very amusing

sticksy posted:I think the 3 confirmed times Nathan broke on camera (or at least that they didn’t edit out) were Ghost Realtor Swiss ghost assault, tag team bros, and grandson’s pee. Every one is hilarious and very much what the audience is thinking too, but interesting/funny to see him not be able to hold it back. Only because I just rewatched the pee episode recently, there's also a moment on the mountain hike where one of the rebaters (heh) starts to yell at him in frustration and he firmly responds by saying that it's not appropriate and that he won't continue unless she readjusts her tone. That struck me on rewatch as sort of a "hey, time out" moment

Tea Bone posted:I can't remember the exact episode, but early on in NFY he does a segment about how to pass an interview. He has someone feeding him lines through an earpiece which he then relays to the interviewer, they tell him to say something along the lines of "I'm required to tell you I'm a registered sex offender" which Nathan baulks at and won't say. That's always stood out to me because I wonder if it had been later in the show's run he might have had the courage to follow through with it. I think it was actually something closer to “I’m a pedophile” and to answer your prompt I still don’t see him committing to saying that today  Also it was H. Jon Benjamin feeding him the lines which just made it even funnier

Frankly I’ve been amazed at the amount of goons who apparently have a Peacock+ account. Is there any other way to watch the fabled Paul show?
