"The Hero" was the worst episode of the series. Completely pointless and devoid of laughs.

Yeh really odd. Also I think it was pretty easy to see that Nathan wasn't really doing the walk.

I discovered this show through the What Say You podcast... my god this is unbelievable brilliant.

This is the best show to go in completely baked, watch a string of three or four episodes, and just cry from laughing so hard.

Finally! Nathan for You returns 9/28. There will also be an hour long special on 9/21 where he checks in with people from previous episodes.

Ok so I get his humor and the show but yikes not the first ep of s4.

Jeez what was that?
Was the joke to be as awful and boring as possible?

This show can be amusing when they get the right "normal" people to deal with Nathan's completely flat personality. It doesn't always work, however.

) The new season kicks off with all-new business strategies that no ordinary consultant would dare to attempt. In season four, Nathan helps a computer repair shop earn its customers' trust by hiring a fully asexual staff; devises a plan to sell hot chili at a hockey arena by hiding it under his clothing; and attempts to get around international tariff laws by rebranding smoke alarms as musical instruments. With his unorthodox approach to problem solving, Nathan's genuine efforts to do good often draw the real people he encounters into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.

The "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" review headline was by itself a reason to never miss an episode of this show.

I recently discovered this show after watching the Rehearsal. Is there a confirmation that the people in the businesses are not in on the gag? Some of these shows are just crazy. about 5 episodes into season 1 at the moment and the show hits hard.

From my understanding, most of the businesses were not in on the gag and many of the featured guests became quite angry after they realized what had happened.

This show has the strangest cult following. For a show that did barely any ratings, it seems to have had an afterlife of sorts.

Anyone know if he's ok or what happened to him? I see his last post was nearly 10 months ago, but can't find any explanation of why he disappeared. Hopefully life's going well for him.

This is a weird "proof of life," but I noticed an old DVDTalker added him, me, and a ton of people to a custom friend list group on PSN, them saw he removed himself (as did everyone else, groups on PSN are weird like that sometimes). That was a few days ago.

I got added to that group as well. It was weird. There were several people pissed they were added. I changed the name of the group and then bailed.

I texted with yawmush about it today to make sure he wasn't hacked. Turns out his kids made the list. His kids and our kids play Minecraft together, often using our profiles, sometimes and his kids basically just made a big list using his friends list.

Well, good to hear he's still kicking it, but sad to notice another long-time staple of the forum who's disappeared.

I was on that PSN group too, but mostly ignored the stream of notifications on my phone and haven't been on my PS5 this week.

Holy Shit. Smoking Allowed episode is like the foundation for The Rehearsal.

I just hit the Jacket episode and it all but crossed a line in having the Rabi so tone deaf in the marketing presentation. I am shocked to see that the jacket company still appears to exist with a few products in its line up and it actually is a not-for-profit benefiting holocaust education and fighting the deniers.
