I've actually brought up Dumb Starbucks a bunch of times when trying to explain the show to people and the most common response has been "huh?" or "oh yeah I think I heard about that". It also doesn't sound very funny when a third party is trying to explain it to someone who isn't familiar with it.

Yeah it almost comes off as just this weird story instead of an elaborate comedy bit. Even if they saw the episode they'd probably have to intersect on a lot of niche tastes in humor.

I wear my Dumb Starbucks ballcap (had a friend around there when it happened) around a semi-boring Canadian city, have only really had 5 people pick it and the origin up since I started. People probably mostly assume it's just a Starbucks hat.

I think there's probably some accuracy in the statement that a majority of people don't know who Banksy is, but he's long since entered public consciousness and in fact any tableau-style gag is immediately attributed to him by the media regardless of improbability because he's the only recognizable name in street art.

I like the episodes where he seems to make a real connection with the small business owner better. Niky was completely unengaged and I found myself less engaged for it as well.

Watching the side by side screens, it was actually really impressive with how well-timed and spot on the actors were. I have to say, I'm really loving these 1-business episodes. I love how it starts off with a simple premise (or at least, simple in terms of Nathan For You) then gains momentum until we get to the point that Nathan's trying to bring down Best Buy or putting on a big production play. Wow. What a great episode. I just can't believe this is real.

Nathan has gone from just asking everyone he meets to hang out with him to actually manipulating his own reality through his show. Those two AGAIN scenes were my favorite moments of the season so far.

The bar owner calling a play based exactly on a day of her life boring was amazing. And Nathan being creepy as poo poo with women never gets old.

The "again" scenes (I can't believe he cried on command) and his interactions with smokers at the other bars were fantastic but this felt like more of a filler episode compared to everything else he's pulled off this season. I don't think the authorities give much of a poo poo about a dive bar allowing smokers for two days.

I'm catching up now, am up to that scene, and I gotta take breaks. Watching this show is like being pinned to one of those butterfly collector's corkboard but you're impaled on someone else's awkwardness and you just kind of wiggle in place but you're not going anywhere and it won't end.

Although to be fair this is the first time this season he's been so incredibly awkward when last season it was just so uncomfortable so much of the time. Great show.

This show is amazing. Just burned through whats out there on season 3. That old lady bartender was adorable.  Are the 1st and 2nd season as good?

Excellent news! Will probably start binging it later today or tomorrow. Someone got ahold of the sweet lady bartender and got her to answer some questions. Nathan is either that awkward in real life or keeps his character going at all times. https://www.reddit.com/r/nathanforyou/comments/3smvdr/was_able_to_talk_with_ellen_the_owner_of_the_bar/

He would have to keep the character going all the time since he wouldn't know ahead of time which parts they'd be using during editing, and he wouldn't want to tip off the marks.
