I lol'd at that. You just know one of the writers of the show was staring at a blank page when they thought how that situation could actually work on the show.
The whole funeral scene and song is like something Tommy Wiseau would create, except it's knowingly aweful. I swear Nathan Fielder could become a successful cult leader.

yeah, the wailing Muslim women in funerals you seen on tv are often professional mourners or moirologists as its also called. It's supposed to comfort the grieving family. Its most common the Egyptian, Chinese, Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures. I think its a better option to have professional mourners then here in the west, for example when the diseased has no immediate family, the government arranges a funeral advertised in the obituary as "on behave of friends", often done in empty churches. At least that's how we do it in Norway, the deceased is of course partly paying for the joy of an empty funeral...
@Wim Harleev Or maybe we’re people sharing our favorite parts of the video? No need to be rude, feel free to keep scrolling or write a clever comment that’s actually funny if you’re intellectually superior 🙄
@@responsestability8376 It is. He is saying it is very realistic yet still slightly off, which is making it creepy for him. That is exactly what uncanny valley is.
well, this is very real business in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. There are professional mourners/wailers who, for a certain payment, will behave accordingly during the ceremonies. This practice has been in place for almost 100 years already.
Professional mourning or paid mourning is an occupation that originates from Egyptian, Chinese, Mediterranean and Near Eastern cultures. Professional mourners, also called moirologists and mutes, are compensated to lament or deliver a eulogy and help comfort and entertain the grieving family.
Very funny. I started laughing and couldn't stop, because it was just so very funny. I couldn't control my laughter on account of just how much sheer concentrated amusing material that this skit contained. Every joke surprised me entirely and my only resort was to continue laughing, much to my own chagrin. Just when I thought it couldn't get any funnier it did, and it actually set off my pacemaker, because it was just so funny. I would definitely watch this video again, because it was absolutely hilarious.
There's a documentary about some fellow in Japan who would get hired to play people's dad (like if you wanted to introduce your boyfriend to your father but your real father wouldn't approve) and started a business where he and other actors would play your family at weddings and the like. He did all this without his own family knowing for quite some time.
@@charlesdinguss Totally different. Asia is sprawling and diverse compared to North America which is just a majority of white people who all speak the same language.

why aren't more people commenting about 1:36 xD this woman is hilarious asf i come back and replay it just for her (never mind it's the most replayed) i'm happy xD

This is an idea that has existed for a little while now in some asian countries like Japan and Taiwan.

This straight up used to be a thing in ancient times. You could hire mourners to come to a funeral and wail loudly. Nathan’s a genius.
Not used to, this is something people still do in almost every non-western countries. It’s a legit business.

This is an actual practice in the Philippines. We call them "crying ladies".
Yeah! It’s also in so many ancient practices it’s nuts
We call them the same way in my home country (Romania)
I mean they do also have a name in English, they’re called mourners.
We have it in South India but there's no cash involved. People do it so that someone else will be there when they pass away.
I swear your culture is THE weirdest on Earth 😂
"Im canadian" "Youre canadian? Oh well you sound normal" _hired_
That was an absolutely beautiful comedic rhythm. Watch and learn kids.. watch and learn
“You sound normal”😂😂😂
This is the funniest show I've seen in years.
I want the power that Nathan has. In every sketch I've seen, people do what he tells him to do.
Just get a camera crew dude :)
3:16 is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
The lady yelling at the kid in her audition freaking sentttt me 😂😂😭
😂 was not expecting that!
Professional mourners are pretty common around the world.
oh wow cool
even in the bible

So are funeral strippers apparently

I'm not sure why but that fake funeral is a nightmare. I know it's all an act but it's almost into the uncanny valley of realistic.
That's not what uncanny valley means at all bro

Nathan's dead pan kills me everytime. See how I did that?
how?
nice
RIP Sean Connery. I hope he had an excellent massage before he died.
I absolutely lost it when they started singing! tears of laughter just burst thru😂😂😂
I need "Death Happens" to be sung at my funeral.
I like how living in the desert is the perfect qualification for getting hired as a mourner
If you live in the desert, you're naturally more sad than people who live in other environments, such as swamps, volcanoes, or L.A.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp live in Arizona. Can confirm.

😂 the woman's acting response to the child running up and down the aisle cracks me up
the first guy is so normal and the other actors are unhinged
"He once gave me a thousand dollars for NO reason"
“Ghost Realtor” was my favorite for a while...I think “Hiring Strangers To Attend Your Funeral For You” just matched it.
