Yeah that would be honestly amazing. Could ask a million questions (mainly in the vain of finding out that there's lots of stuff off camera and everyone is actually happy in the end).

sleepingbuddha posted:Blind Nathan bumping into things while spraying for bugs, and a loving peacock, chicken, and pigeons all hanging out in a tree, making GBS threads on cars wasn't absurd enough for you? I really enjoyed the individual segments on the last show, don't get me wrong. They just can't stack up against the sham film award or The Claw of Shame.

I feel like this episode actually crossed the line from "dumb ideas that might kinda work?" (such as Ghost-free realtor, edgy caricature artist, rented funeral home mourners) to absolutely so insane "I can't believe anyone is buying this". I lost it at Chinese Dragon Rentals and a peacock just hanging out in a tree in the middle of a Los Angeles suburb. Also, Nathan was more of a dick than usual this episode.

I suspect that this season is partly about Nathan becoming overly confident as he continually escapes disaster while barely skirting the law, and that burgeoning cockiness may be what leads to the Dumb Starbucks enterprise.

I'm really incredibly curious what the legality is of the "We sell alcohol to minors without letting them take it" scheme. That's one where I legitimately worry that airing the episode will get that poor owner in trouble, unless there was some behind-the-scenes wrangling to make sure it wasn't going to affect anything.

I'd like retired judge Anthony Filosa to comment on every one of Nathan's schemes.

I suspect he's fine. They had the minors on TV so I'm guessing they had to go through hell to get approval for that part, so I'm sure they covered themselves.

Intellectually, I know that that's the case, that Comedy Central would never air something that was going to get people in actual trouble, but it still leaves the question in my mind of how in the hell they managed to make that legal in the first place.

I think it's probably unlikely that a prosecutor would even bother since it was apparently a one-off thing and there's no real evidence that an illegal sale ever actually happened. The liquor store could say that they secretly filled the 40 oz with tea and it would be impossible to prove otherwise.

Legally, it seems like it would be like buying a gift card to a liquor store, which is totally legal at any age. I highly doubt that the store owner would keep a 6 pack of beer in the fridge for 5 years, that'd be some pretty skunky beer by the time the kid came to claim it. The tickets the minors received probably said "redeemable for 1 40 oz bottle of malt liquor" or whatever.

In the end they probably just gave them their money back and sent them on their way when the bit was done.

Nathan hosted a screening of a hysterical future ep (a hot dog costume was involved) and did a Q&A at Just For Laughs. Don't want to spoil anything, but he showed a clip of Crying Wolfe and wondered if anyone else from s1 deserved a show. I recommend watching this show in a big group of fans sometime - it was great to hear the little nuance jokes get a big reaction. He was also on the twitter list of people listed for a show of Variety's Top 10 Comics To Watch but wasn't actually there. The Lucas Brothers were, and showed a video clip like Nathan would have presumably done, so it must have been scheduling. Piquai Souban fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Jul 28, 2014 |

The watermark in the corner of the video/sketch said TruTV but I don't know if that was part of the joke - a reality tv-style look into the writer's room process at Family Matters.
