The Rehearsal (HBO/ HBO Max) TV Show • Page 16

Man, I can't believe he never heard from Patrick again

 

I truly love the way Nathan replies to things like google being the devil, or the antisemitic joke, where he just asks about them so matter of factly and pushes these people to actually explain themselves, it's amazing

 

The fucking photo album had me dying. Also getting him to wipe the dudes ass in the woods. How does he get people to do half these things

 

unrelated to anything, out of nowhere, I just was thinking about "I'm not afraid to grab my balls, everybody, come grab my balls." I have only seen that episode once, years ago, and now it just randomly came into my head. Nathan is getting to me...

 

Not sure the Nathan Fielder discourse is going away after this episode lol

 

Shave tonight

Let's get that beard all gone

 

Lost my shit at this

 

The cinematic nature of this show is so good, he can really make throwaway lines from insane people sound profound and in a completely different context.

I didn’t even get that they made literally dig gold, I was shocked at how well the rehearsal went after that, I did not think it would improve anything but it really felt like a breakthrough for him. Nathan truly helped this guy in the most bizarre way and built him a raising cane’s with not cheap extras tapping their chicken fingers around and he ghosts them.

 

Pretty sure it's prop chicken

 

Good lord this episode. Poor Patrick haha. Loved the funnel cake excuse

 

I am just in awe of what Fielder is able to accomplish, both here and the last show. I never know where it is going but it always feels like the right one when it is all revealed.

 

That was strangely beautiful.

 

The Cruel and Arrogant Gaze of Nathan Fielder’s “The Rehearsal”

Well, the discourse made its way to the New Yorker with a thinkpiece that is, in my opinion, stinky doo doo

 

I feel like so much of the discourse disregards the character that Fielder is playing as the orchestrator of these moments. He subtly undercuts the premise by showing moments of a person that’s “broken” themselves, stretched thin by the disbelief of the situations he’s put in and the loneliness being an “exploitative” reality host brings

 

I’m not trying to defend all these think pieces, but just curious. When he tries to help small businesses succeed and help people through something they’re anxious about confronting…how much of it is him being sincere and him just “trolling”. I get he’s playing an exaggerated version of himself and the show edits and picks the best parts for entertainment value. I know the show and people are real. But how much of it is him trying to do good?

 

I guess you could call it manipulative that he posits that he's going to help them when he's really just there to mine content, but the content doesn't come from him being an asshole to them or anything, it comes from just letting them expose themselves.

 

Did a legit spit take at the reveal that this whole time there have been giant clocks on the walls of the house counting down to when the child actors have to stop

 

this man is the joker I love it

 

pssh that was in the last episode #fakefan

 

Him not letting go of her saying Halloween is for Satanic rituals was so great.

 

this is SO psychotic i can't breathe

 

Rewatched the S4 premier Celebration special and there's a legendary "Okay" when he's revisiting the ghost realtor and has a guy contact the psychic from her episode from beyond the grave and Nathan keeps asking about if OJ did it or not

 

Dying at his irrigation system that he built.

 

Just watched episode 2 and 3 and I’m genuinely in awe of the lengths he goes to for the dumbest shit. Best show
