I got both those vibes too fwiw but I was terrible at dating and thank christ I found a woman who puts up with me

e: I don't know if anyone knows Fielder but I have an incredible pitch for him: a game show called Nathan Fielder's Celebrity Escape Room where it's like a spoof of one of those network celebrity game shows except they're trapped in a room ( with Nathan on their team ) trying to solve complex puzzles and escape.

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 :lol:

Also it was H. Jon Benjamin feeding him the lines which just made it even funnier

I don't think he was afraid to say it, but it would have stopped the bit dead in it's tracks.

Yeah Royce was definitely some kind of scumbag and or crook.

But Paul was kind of a scumbag and crook too so it all comes out in the wash imo

Here's my thing, which has sort of been said already, I think Asher wasn't suddenly floating upwards so much as he was repelled by Mama Whitney. She suddenly didn't need him for validation in the same way once she became a mother. And that dynamic was the only thing holding them together.

The finale shows him basically running out of use as a utility to others (he clearly doesn't have the charisma necessary to save the show, limiting his use to Whitney and Dougie. Rachel Ray laid out that the houses aren't a serious practical solution to any problem and they know that given they put A/C in for the baby. And finally he can't even get the phone or go bag for Whitney) all while he literally fails upwards.

Yeah I like this interpretation too, it ties into the satire of white privilege that runs through the whole season.

quote:

If you enjoy the cringe comedy stylings of master manipulator and Canadian business school graduate Nathan Fielder, know that you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in company with everyone’s favorite richest man on Earth. Elon Musk also apparently feels a deep connection to Fielder’s off-kilter humor, and is sure that he could/should/would be friends with the funny man.

The Tesla CEO first invited the former Nathan For You host to lunch at SpaceX in 2016, according to a report from The New York Times. And he continued to include Fielder on party guest lists for years after, in an attempt to aggressively foster friendship with the comedian, wrote the Times. In each interaction, “the famous businessman invited the famous fake businessman to his parties and would strain to make the deadpan Canadian laugh.”

An unnamed comedy writer told the Times that “Mr. Musk has a deep-seated need to be recognized as funny.” Which is... relatable, if a little sad.

Thinking about this story, and then thinking about Whitney's relationship with Cara.

Then thinking about Elon Musk cornering Nathan at a party and demanding he explain the ending to him, asking if he was supposed to eat the turkey.

e: Elon and Whit both being tremendous nepo babies

Emma Stone is just so masterfully funny at this point, particularly the bit where she's bounding across the floor, trying to dodge an "air pocket" that we know doesn't exist but she very definitely believes in. The utterly ridiculous series of Maguivers are such a good touch. The completely ridiculous comedy bit with the vacuum cleaner is inspired. Completely logical from their point of view, but utterly ridiculous to us.



I thought this was really great comedy too, she's so physically funny in this moment.

Picturing an alternate version of this show that starts with Asher flying through the atmosphere before it freeze-frames and he comes on the voiceover with "you might be wondering how I got here".

. In particular a lot of them were about how Asher's world would turn upside down if Whitney left him or didn't need him, which is presumably what would happen following her having a baby - she'd spend all of her time and energy on the baby and Asher wouldn't get any attention, which he would be too emotionally immature to see as anything beyond his loss of positive reinforcement. It was established several times that he doesn't really help anyone with anything beyond providing financial backing, which would presumably be the case with him raising a child too, and he wouldn't really have a place in the family - causing his world to turn upside down, because he hinged his entire self worth on having an attractive wife who was beholden to him.


This was my conclusion too, and I wonder if it was colored by my own experiences in parenting/marriage.

It's an optical illusion. They actually created a mock Espiñola inside a 1,000 ft hole. Nathan isn't high, he just seems that way because everything else is so low.

I hope they remake the whole first season, but entirely from the perspective of the secondary characters, film crew and townspeople. Just three people flailing around out of their element in the background, while everyone rolls their eyes and mocks them for 10 episodes.
