Nathan Fielder Really Created The Wildest Show On TV And Viewers Are Having Some Thoughts

    Thank you HBO for funding this wild, almost-unlimited budget.

    This is Nathan Fielder.

    You may know him from his Comedy Central show Nathan for You where he helped out struggling businesses with innovative ideas.

    Nathan saying, "Don't be shy to tell me it's a great idea. To be honest, I love compliments."

    Well, now he has a new show on HBO Max called The Rehearsal.

    In theory, this seems like a sweet project about helping people navigate stressful situations.

    Here are some people reacting to the utter mayhem that is The Rehearsal:

    The rehearsal completely broke my brain. Can’t do anything without thinking it’s scripted. Looking the cashier at the grocery store dead in the eye like “who sent you and where is Fielder?”

    I don't believe billionaires should exist but I do think we should give Nathan Fielder a billion dollars and see what happens

    Normal people without social anxiety: Wow, #TheRehearsal is so absurd and over the top! Me: I wish I had the budget to hire an actor to play me so that I could see how I come across to other people.

    The only person who actually deserves a “From the Twisted Mind of” prefix is Nathan Fielder

    The Rehearsal is one of the best things I’ve ever seen and when it’s over we should put Nathan Fielder in one of those prisons that Magneto can’t escape from

    “I really can’t imagine how Nathan fielder could ever make this even more uncomfortable,” I thought during the latest episode of the Rehearsal, seconds before Israel/Palestine was brought up.

    Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal is the world’s first psychological comedy

    one of my favorite insane feelings is when i’m watching the rehearsal and i think nathan fielder is having a conversation with someone and then my stomach drops and i see he’s talking to a rehearsed version of whoever he’s simulating

    watching The Rehearsal. i think if nathan fielder was like 15% more evil he would be shadow emperor of all governments on earth or something

    There’s a subreddit for #TheRehearsal. More importantly, there’s a subreddit to rehearse your post before posting it to the Rehearsal subreddit.

    if nathan fielder’s the rehearsal has taught me one thing it’s that nobody who does improv can be trusted
