ShowTime posted:Yea i'm starting to see his style of humor and I like it. Well, he's playing a character, and it's based in part on some research he did on autistic people (although the character is explicitly not autistic). The bit about why he's doing it might have come from that--autistic people often rehearse conversations as a coping mechanism.

How does that work, "my character is based on autistic people but the character isn't autistic (because then I would get in trouble)" https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/nathan-fielder-how-the-cult-comedian-rules-the-outer-limits-of-awkward-203950/

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:Yeah, I think the first description made it sound a little more negative. I think I chose my words carefully and was only trying to offer some possible background on a single line of exposition.  vvv Oh yeah, the part where they go through the scenario he was worried about reminded me of exercises where you ask yourself, what's the worst that could happen? and work through that.

Tetramin posted:What gives you this idea? I think you might be connecting some extra dots here. The coping mechanism I'm talking about is rehearsing or scripting conversations and is done for the same reasons he gave in the line I was talking about. I do not think he or the show owes anything to whatever reading he did to fine-tune his screen persona. I was just noting the similarity.
