He was good on the news, but terrible motivating people in person. I'd figure he'd have more experience with personal training motivation but no, just good at lying.
That had me cracking up pretty hard. He was great at just naturally talking about all this made up poo poo but when he was given a motivational script that was just -exactly- what he had been saying for weeks he could barely get through it.

I'd say the extent of knowledge of the Dumb Starbucks went roughly like this for most people:

"It was that Banksy thing right? Oh it wasn't Banksy? ok."

I can't believe they pulled off the skateboard AND triple selfie. I loved that.

Constant unbroken eye contact for several minutes can kind of mess with your head a bit though, there's been studies on it, and if you've done it with a partner for fun or in some acting exercise you've probably felt a bit weird or more connected after it. Has to be several times more intense if the other person is repeatedly telling you "I love you" and trying to sell it as real as possible.

Either that or just having dry eyes and not blinking for 2 minutes will set off some soft waterworks.

Just discovered this show by tripping over it but its been a loving blast. Many people seem to throw out buzz words like "critique of capitalism" or "a jab at commercialism" but there seems to be a greater subtext yet to be explored. Fielder himself noted that the show started out of his fascination of power structures after the subprime mortgage crisis. If there is anything that is most fascinating about the show, it is his ability to take power structures and bend them to his will. Not only bend them to his will but also actively mock how broken they are. This was never more evident than the souvenir shop episode, which was forced into a perfect escalation of absurdity due to a power structure. To me, it juxtaposes the Dumb Starbucks episode perfectly. One ends with a sequence of farts, the other ends with people having their money swindled by the idea that they are smart and in on the joke. Both essentially end with the audience losing and the creator rolling in money. I just think its funnier to see the reaction of an audience to farts.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that episode got me a little emotional. After being turned down so many times, it's nice to see Nathan finally made a friend.

Was anyone else kind of surprised at how... normal that guy was? The red/blue conversation in the car was hilariously weird, but that struck me as just some harmless geekery. I was bracing myself the whole time for some big twist to reveal the dude was actually really hosed up, or the whole thing to just end in disaster but I was really happy it didn't go that route and ended on a happy note.
yeah me too. I just found myself grinning and laughing with them, perfect music choice and edit.

That final montage. I can't keep up with what is real anymore.

I just want to know how that makeup guy won Emmys because that face mask was pretty bad.
I'm gonna cut the guy some slack since I don't think he often has to take scans and data off someone who thinks they're at a doctors appointment.
