how did i not pick up on the guy being a literal gold digger. nathan fielder is insane
neither did i *facepalm*
Lmao same
We are not smart enough for this show….🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
i didn't realize this either and i JUST finished that episode this morning lol
who?
The whole overdose and ambulance scene, was wonderfully psychotic.
Nathan truly has no limits.
The Rehearsal made me feel horrible and beautiful things. When you look past the Inception and fake babies I think there’s something profound said about the human condition.
Fake Angela was a very talented actress I thought
Fake Angela played Angela to perfection. She got every single mannerism of hers right.
In the end I was thinking Nathan was still in character as the real Mom. As this is the Mom saying I am your Dad as well, she is both and that's how she knows he will be okay.
That’s an interesting read 🤔. You got something
thats instantly what came to mind for me as well
I thought the very same!
Whoa I never even thought about how what the mom said could tie into the ending that’s insane
I also interpreted the ending as this!
Also I'm not sure if the first guy, the trivia dude could have done this without the show. He was a strange fellow and had built up Trish the Dish as some indomitable tyrant in his mind for some reason. Also him not getting the plunger joke was beyond hilarious. He's just such a shy, low self esteem dude that he just accepts that this guy clogged his toilet without even wincing. Such interesting characters on this show.
The whole remy portion had be TEARING UP.I haven’t experienced something so visceral from television in awhile, of course Nathan fielder is the one to bring that out in me. I want this kid to have a dad so bad. I was about to walk over there dressed as a man and do it myself god damn it
The Remy character is scripted. Remy is a gifted actor and his mom is an actor too. There are subtle clues. Remy's father is always discussed in vague terms; being gone, being absent? being dead? No clarification, why? Remy's ability to act is reinforced by his adoption of the Dr Fart character, again a scripted construction. Also Remy's quick turn around of his his obsession with being Nathan's son, to Nathan's friend.

The first episode made me laugh harder than I have in a long time.
The sheer amount of attention to detail, actors, planning, building an entire set of a bar in a warehouse, just so that someone could play out a trivial social situation.
And how meta it got with Nathan practicing the rehearsal of his rehearsal, and not even he could stomach telling the truth that he planted the trivia answers, for fear of rejection. The same thing he just did to help the guy overcome his fear and he couldn't overcome it himself.
One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
If you haven’t, watch nathan for you. Same guy behind it, and one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen
This show was the most horribly beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Wonderfully done.
Agreed
I thought that the hug that the fake Remy gave nathan was because Nathan finally broke. I saw Nathan break down and realize basically everything that had happened, and it was deeply saddening
How many times did you rehearse before recording this?
Do you know someone of your fans are disappointed of you for saying the r-word on Instagram?
Rooster?

Angela wasn't a "down to the earth" person. She believed in so many "religious" conspiracies. She is talking about satanic rituals she knows nothing about.
Just because she read on the internet and *wanted to believe*, she was giving a lecture like she knew it all.
It was just so ironic her lecturing Nathan about "reality" when she was the one delusional about made up satanic rituals
When I heard her spewing the satanic origins of Halloween showing her ignorance that it was in fact a Celtic tradition based on All Soul’s Eve which is in fact a religious holiday I couldn’t see her as anything but a kook
I mean mabye for some but satanic rituals do actually happen. It's not something she or the internet made up. It's a practice that has been done for literal centuries.
Well she might have also been acting, that’s the beauty of this show
girl there is no beauty; Nathan was the only one taking it seriously lol. ion think she cared tbh. I think she was a mixture of deception, persona, and interest in his whole weird game money can afford. @@defenderofminorities3056
Nathan’s (the character) desires to fully understand another person and hopes that if he focuses on a small enough of a moment, perfectly recreate it, then he can finally he see from their eyes.
With this setup, it’s not clear if The Rehearsal is a satire of acting and art, or if it’s genuinely the story of a man obsessed with how other people see the world and most critically, him.
While I do think it’s definitely satirical, personally I think Nathan (the creator) genuinely wants to be lost in his own existential creation to find pure empathy, therefore validating the endeavor. However no matter how much he tries to copy someone’s life he realizes he can’t perfectly understand someone else since there is simply too much to recreate.
My interpretation of the ending is Nathan realizing that his path forward to understand someone else isn’t to simply copy their life, but allow deviations for the reenactment (“No I’m your Dad”) that breakdown barriers. So while he won’t see exactly the world from their eyes, he can finally escape into his own creation and see something new. Which is actually what he wanted.
I think he’s just a master satirist. To be able to make a show like this you have to be extremely self aware, and understand other people
Stop bro. You think you're getting this on another level than anyone else, you're like the clueless idiots he makes fun of.
That reading into the Maccabee allegory is brilliant I can't believe I didn't catch that. Learning about Judaism in secret out of fear of persecution. Incredible stuff.
Basically Synecdoche New York
Although inception was used as some point of reference. Its a lot more likely that Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche New York is likely to be a much larger inspiration for the show as it follows the themes and setting much more closely. Espacially when Nathan is recreating the scenes he experienced with actors while he's playing someone else. its directly from that movie.
Exactly. This is the first thing I thought when he mentioned Inception. This is so much more like Synecdoche, NY than Inception.
Twin peaks
Why the buttcrack in the very last scene of the last episode as Nathan stands up?!? That’s the only reason I watched this video and and no one is speculating on it. Nathan is SOO detail oriented and notices every tiny thing that there is NO WAY that having buttcrack visible in the last scene wasn’t intentional. Was it signifying him becoming a dad? Someone please explain!
I think it was classic dad imagery. Also a funny way to punctuate an otherwise pretty serious scene.
I think it's cause it was funny
Who wouldn't want the final shot of the season to be an asscrack? Makes perfect sense to me
I took it as Nathan telling the audience that this whole thing is, essentially, a joke.
Hear me out, I think it was a joke. Crazy, I know
Dr. Farts was fantastic, also ponting out that reality tv not reality since people know they are filmed, so their actions are being affected by that...brilliant show
I'm still 80% sure Nathan has killed multiple people after watching all of the rehearsal.
But you didn't analyze the parting butt shot? What was that supposed to signify?
It's meta AF. It's also an actor's dream.
Been waiting on this video to drop. Love your content man!
Thank you David, hope it was worth the wait!!
For me, I thought he just 'got it', like (in character) it was the first time he seemed fully immersed in the pretend scenario. Every other time he did a rehearsal or role play, he had some anxiety or questioned some element of it, but this was the first time he fully got into character and seemed happy that he finally was able to rehearse something and be totally lost in character.
Very insightful thank you for this it helped me better understand nathan as a person and as an actor
I watched the entire rehersal on mushrooms, the fielder method episode broke my brain
Its like seeing Isaac from The Orville, trying to experiencing humans emotions and feelings (without having any) pretty good. And its like we Data Analysts call Machine Learning.
So let me get this straight, in a show, who's entire premise is that whatever the host says is a lie, said host says his favorite movie is Inception and you believe it?
my take on this is a self-depricating comedy - Nathan trying to "help" people in things he knows nothing about, and to no one's surprise, not actually helping. except now he has a huge production budget and a team of writers. it's genius.
I think thr show is trying to say how blurry our understanding of fake vs real. If we get real emotions out of fake interactions does it really matter if it was fake?
03:12 SHE IS UNREAL.
AGREED!
i hope a lot of people are able to look past the absurd comedy (which is amazing) to really see the show for what it is -- a complete and unflinching look at the human condition -- our search for meaning, love, family, failure, and success. Nathan manages to wrap all of this up in a very chaotic but masterful bow. It is one man's search for connection, and his contemplation of how to fail and be messy but love and be a father. It's such a breathtaking work of art.
I thought the show took an extremely dark turn where Nathan developed an identity crisis and started believing the rehearsal was in fact real due to doing it for so long and genuinely went insane
This show made me laugh the hardest I've laughed in years a few times
Same, especially the "I'm not a snitch" moment
The way I view Nathan’s shows and The Rehersal is that Nathan and his cast are all entirely in on the comedic aspect of the shows. It’s basically all for show and Nathan is just extremely good at acting and making it seem real for him. He’s the only one truly acting and if you spoke to him on the street he wouldn’t be as awkward as he is on screen.
The lengths they go to for comedy is actually inspiring and I love it. Nathan is a genius
Ok wow before watching this I did not even think about how by the end of the series Nathan views his assumed role as the fake Remy's dad the same way that the real Remy viewed Nathan as his father. Nathan convinces himself he is really Remy's dad the same way Remy believed Nathan was his dad.
I’m a bit lost on what the objective of the show is. Is this a reality show that explores the anxieties of different people every episode… while also serving as an extrospection of Nathan’s own? What season ending outcome does the show aim to make?
Yes
@@gregai8456 ^
It’s the supreme master troll emperor Nathan Fielder trolling everyone including HBO and the viewers. We are all his puppets and you only understand what he wants you to understand and what he wants you to understand is a lie anyway.
Dude what do you mean uou fail to understand, you summarised everything correctly
@@hannibalburgers477 But that was only due to the clarity of the video’s explanation. I’m still lost on the “Why is this…?” Maybe it’s just that I’m unfamiliar with this Nathan guy, but (I guess like British humor) I just don’t get the punchline.
I literally was just thinking how there needs to be more videos on this show
Right? What an experience
Oh my gosh, I came here to say the same thing about Inception! Going back and watching NFY after Rehearsal, the context of Rehearsal shifts. Seems like this statement was the inspiration or hint about TR. Wonder how much release will be affected by the strike.
Synecdoche New York anyone? Damn this show was crazy good.
I watched Michelle a week ago and I was feeling all sorts of emotion, it’s funny and then it serious and then I don’t know what it is anymore lol
u got a voice for one of those list videos
10:06
This scene broke me. I didn't know what to think.
Eu sou fã do Nathan desde Nathan For You e com O Ensaio acho que ele vai ficar mais conhecido no mundo não somente no Canadá e nos EUA
Nathan is in the rehearsal himself, a lonely, awkward, and A-typical man trying to guide others towards something he could never have.
Nathan tries to control every facet of other peoples lives, and in the end his own, because he feels like he has no control.
This is all about Nathan the character, as he’s portrayed in Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, not necessarily the real person but it wouldn’t the first time Nathan had weaved in real life events, like his divorce, into the story of the character Nathan.
I'm just glad Nathan is getting his props.
I just want to know what about Remy is real
Fake Remy was such a talented little actor. The way the kid responds when Nathan makes sure that he knows he's not his real dad! And then Nathan asks "Do you think I'm believable as a dad?" he answers, with the most serene and mature look in the eyes, "I mean, you're a great scene partner" 😂
What was the meaning of the butt crack?! Lol
It seemed like all of the characters in the show had trouble accepting reality evidenced by their apparently unbounded mystical views and/or their desire to participate in a show like this. I saw the show as an examination of human nature in the modern world and less about "over thinking", as it displayed how concerned people are about revealing their true and natural selves. The characters chose instead to hide behind superstition and vaguery in their communication and appeared to want to script their own reality in hopes of manufacturing a desirable outcome or at least one in which lets them feel accepted by those around them. The show may be attempting to point out how fearful or beaten down some people feel and the struggles people have in dealing with those feelings.
I think that during rehearsing covid we learned that common cold can be delt with without rehearsal.
I think you misunderstood, Patrick is not the one withholding the gold from the actor.
perai, entao quer dizer que tinha pessoas reais ali?? eu achei que era tudo encenaçao. mds, preciso rever
Twin peaks
Everyone who watched this show are my people's...we are different
Season 2 ? whennnn
Hopefully soon!
YTA Nathan. do the right thing and be Remy’s dad all the time! at least pay child support.
I haven't watched this series it reminds me of those "results guaranteed" dating coaches which are scammy disasters.
Please give this show a chance. Nathan is a genius.
Nothing like that
No my dude, you are wrong.
You got a few things right but missed A LOT of the true message of this master piece. Here's a small list of things you missed or missinterpreted among all the wrong things you took out:
-The part where he is seeing the real house of Remy is an acknowledgement on how reaility is extremely more complex than the ideas we make of it in our minds. Anxiety again, having imaginations based on fear about the past and the future are extremely lacking compared to real life, and yet people with anxiety can't stop themselves from believing that what they think about reality is the truest truth of the universe when it is most definitely not.
-You are wrong about calling it "a waste of HBO money" or when saying that Nathan's methods are not worth it. They are EXTREMELY worth it, because through those methods he reached enlightment, it was his therapy. He reached a conclusion that he couldn't have gotten without doing the rehearsal. And of course, in real real life (first time I have to clarify it like this in my life) we all know Nathan is an entertainer and he is doing the show acting as if he didn't know things that he already knows. BUT that creates therapy for people that are like the way he represented himself in the piece, is art that can help others with similar situations, watching themselves in others. The rehearsal Is like anxiety medicine. It might work for some and that's NOT worthless or a waste of money. That's art, is sublimation, trauma beautified or materialized.
-And the smallest microscopic detail that you and apparently most people that watched the show missed but that is EXTREMELY important to understand the entire show is that in an episode where Nathan had to take care of the baby while Angela went on her date he said "I had to take care of myself" refering to the baby as himself. The smallest detail and yet the most important of it all. The show was entirely about him. He was the kid. It was all about him even when he said it was all about Angela.
Also Angela is no angel (got it, Angel, Angela, Christianism, ok ok). She is wrong in a way that millions are wrong, just like the jew teacher is wrong and like Remy's mom is wrong, they convince themselves, like Nathan said, of a truth without knowing, they simply fall into their beliefs, sucumb to them and use them as blueprint of the universe when the real universe is more complex and vast than what any simple puny human could think of it. Instead of admiting they don't know, that they are grown up babies in a dark void of nothingness scared of oblivion they end up making up fantasies to deal with the horror and of course those fantasies collide sometimes and make things more messy than they should be.
I'll end it here. To understand the rehearsal a big amount of philosophy, psychology, art, comedy and logic in general needs to be had. It has so many hillarious moments and some very deep. It is like an onion, needs to be revisited when more knowledge is adquired.
Angela is legitimately one of the worst people in the world, right?
i couldn’t stand her
Umm... I'm not sure I'd say that at all.
Is she irritating? Sure
She doesn't really do anything vindictive or inherently bad, though. She seemed like she may have some sort of personality disorder and would benefit from therapy.
She was never rude and allowed Nathan to change things up she hadn’t agreed to. You may disagree with her convictions and beliefs but she isn’t lying or manipulative like Nathan. Also the show is heavily edited to put ppl in boxes. Your strong reaction to her says more about you than of her as a “character” One of the messages of the show is to put yourself in other ppls shoes. Even if you disagree with her worldview, most likely similar emotions would have appeared but the responses would have manifested differently for you. Nathan even validates her character arc by apologizing. The entire concept is absurd on purpose and goes off the rails. But aside from master puppeteer Nathan and his umpa lumpa crew, everyone is trying their best. Some are motivated by the allure of fame or love of acting. So in short. No. Wrong. Dunce.
@@draxcir she was unabashedly antisemitic. She was completely dismissive of every opinion that was not hers. She was condescending. She was ungrateful to a farcical degree. No amount of editing could make someone falsely appear so entitled and narcissistic. She was quite rude and mean for no reason. She simply hid all this behind a thin patina of passive aggression. It seems pretty clear that you didn't understand the show, at the most basic level. Maybe you should stick to bullshit like "Harry Potter," or "America's Got Talent," which are probably more your speed.
@@ViralCog what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Nathan is s sociopath, really ?
First
🥳
It was an interesting show at points but overall disappointing.
