Top Comments of this video!! :3
Nathan gave a zoom talk for my University during the pandemic. It was not clear if it was meant to be a comedy event, or a talk on business, or what. Someone from the school of business was giving a normal interview with Nathan, but it often went in strange directions. It was incredibly surreal and unusual, though there were definitely intentional jokes sprinkled throughout, such as recurring jokes about him accidentally revealing that he has hemorrhoids, either through his webcam, browsing history, browser tabs he forgot to close, etc..
He's a real funny guy.

as someone on the autism spectrum, that description you did in the beginning about nathan feeling like an outsider an uncanny person trying really hard to be well human, and play a human correctly, really resonated with me, my autism has always made me feel that way and i could never put it into words ever

one thing you missed in your research is where those old photos came from! those photos of him as a āteenagerā are actually from a blog he ran in 2005 while in business school where he would post these awkward photos that he created. he has been building this character long before even going into comedy..

being a violinist, the stuff about nikocado avocadoās violin skills genuinely broke my heart. i would never forgive myself if i gave up the passion i have for my instrument in favor of the content i thought would make me money. the video of him playing is so haunting and melancholicā¦ i hope heās alright behind his online persona. he truly is incredibly talented.

Canāt believe you didnāt mention the AV Club interview. In 2015 Nathan was doing an interview, but he heard a podcast where the interviewerās mom said she hated Nathan and his show, so he requested that instead of an interview he could just speak to her. He is WAY out of character, talking about his divorce, his process for the character he plays, the intentions of Nathan For You, and he says profound things about human connection. It honestly adds a new layer to his work. Check it out!

Honestly, the vast majority of his "weird," less manipulative, behaviors didn't come across as weird to me because... I mean, that's kinda how I think of myself. Making jokes that never land, only for my younger brother to steal them and make everyone laugh. Interacting with people and being unable to understand them in their entirety, always wondering what I'm missing. I finally found a romantic interest who felt the same about me over time and yet, over 1.5 years later, I still don't know if we're actually dating!
It all feels like a nightmare that I can't wake up from. A world that is asking far too much of me, yet far too little in the same exact instances; relationships I stumble blindly into that either work out, or fracture into shards that lacerate my being; losing my childhood to adults around me thinking I'm "mature," yet finding myself regressing into a child as a near adult. There's a fundamental sense of ... unbelonging, in a world and in a body that never wanted me to exist. I don't know how long I can keep trying to remain here.
Anyway - good video, thanks. Sorry for that word salad.

Finally made end and...STANDING OVATION.
This mystified, intrigued,scared and resonated with me on so many levels. Probably the most meta thing I've seen.
Amazing to hear about Nathan Fielder, Andy Kauffman, the Avocado guy, but seriously, it got pretty meta to the end when you started speaking about yourself.
The line where you said, āEvery person is their own internal universeā is something that I've tried to illustrate to so many people, worded in that exact way, but never had the storytelling finesse to explain what it means. Like when you stand on a bridge overlooking a highway of bumper to bumper traffic, and you realise every car is a capsule containing a human with decades of moments and memories, possibilities and dreams, and oodles of experiences and wants and desires.
Somehow all of this made me think of that line - "Artists use lies to tell the truth".
Amazing content. Thank you, and well done.

This is unironically one of the best videos I've ever seen. The absolute emtional ride you take us on in this video is insane. I love when a video can make me feel something less superficial, something that lasts, and thats what you have done. A video with real emotion in it, a video that is distinctly human. Hats off to you, you've killed it ā¤

I can't believe you didn't mention how after Nathan goes back to the gas station to talk about how the rebate hike went, the owner casually mentions that he drinks his grandson's urine when he feels scared and it catches Nathan so off guard that he actually drops character for just a second.
