This guy actually did a cameo in community. He's awesome.

[–]umilmi81 32 points33 points ago

Nathan Barnatt is awesome. If I knew how to make a reddit thing happen to him I would make it happen.

[–]DrJulianBashir 9 points10 points ago

"Reddit thing" is too vague for me to wish on anyone.

[–]larrylizard 5 points6 points ago

Rampart

[–]Epifibson 1 point2 points ago

I'm not a big fan of dancing and that genre of music but I got to admit, the guy is pretty good.

[–]Equipmunk 8 points9 points ago

Same scene as Captain Awesome from Chuck, I believe.

[–]LeZebre 2 points3 points ago

My humor consists of two things: Mr. Nathan Barnatt, and Community. You MUST tell which episode he appears in!

[–]musicman116 2 points3 points ago

The one where the Dean tries to make an ad for Greendale.

[–]Dustonthepaladin 1 point2 points ago

Model u.n. Asian Annie episode

[–]projectile2me 1 point2 points ago

He's the guy who dunks the basketball in the old greendale ad

[–]SirryGweiLo 0 points1 point ago

What episode? IMDB is being an asshat

edit Nevermind, I'm the asshat.

[–]headphonehalo -1 points0 points ago

Pretty sure that's because he's an actor.

[–]Mr_DNA 48 points49 points ago

Since his videos are all essentially the same thing and they're all awesome, I think the only way to judge them is how ridiculously attractive the girl that shows up is.

[–]Joeeigel 13 points14 points ago

All his videos are the same thing?! His Talking Classics videos are far from similar to this; and they're even more unlike his commercials.

EDIT: Not trying to sound like a douche, just saying how diverse this guy actually is.

[–]Mr_DNA 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I guess I was just talking about the music videos he does. I haven't seen his other work, honestly (aside from the skittles commercials).

[–]Pykins 3 points4 points ago

Makes me want to buy some ske-tels.

[–]trever_cory93 0 points1 point ago

The ocean doesnt make ruins, it makes newins!!

[–]profnutbutter 0 points1 point ago

His PAX East panel was a blast.

[–]Fripfrom 5 points6 points ago

Though this one probably has the highest WTFactor.

[–]LeZebre 5 points6 points ago

[–]54_46 2 points3 points ago

[–]baconboy8888 0 points1 point ago

[–]ramsay_baggins 1 point2 points ago

My favourite one.

[–]zubrin 1 point2 points ago

I am neither a fan of dancing nor exercise videos, but Barnett doing both of those things in one package would require me to demand his silence and request that he takes my money.

[–]NoizeUK 0 points1 point ago

This is what Chris Moyles was talking about!

[–]cajunbander 0 points1 point ago

You came down with a classic case of my body.

Also, why is Dave Chapelle in a back alley randomly measuring a 2x4?

[–]Sple64 7 points8 points ago

I knew it was Nathan just from his hair.

[–]Equipmunk 4 points5 points ago

Skittels is really good as well.

[–]MalevolentDragon 0 points1 point ago

You changed my life today.

Thank you.

[–]Alexander-The-Less 0 points1 point ago

Spandy Andy and Nathan Barnatt need to team up and show us all how to dance.

[–]muffley 0 points1 point ago

He reminds me of this guy so much.

[–]Docindia92 0 points1 point ago

This video got me into Yelle, now I fucking love her!!!

[–]Areonis -1 points0 points ago

This is one of the few Yelle songs that is bearable.

[–]shiftius 42 points43 points ago

Sunglasses, outta fuckin' nowhere, clearly fake.

[–]urbaneinthemembrane 13 points14 points ago

He traded his shoes for them in the netherworld

[–]Chardonneh 4 points5 points ago

Yup, shoes proved it for me. Fake.

[–]GiantsNut57 19 points20 points ago

Hey it's me.... Trale Lewous.... Skittells are... Real good

[–]hoodie92 413 points414 points ago

Why is this in /r/WTF? This isn't even slightly WTF, it's just a cool GIF.

[–]ccbeef 79 points80 points ago

Like /r/funny, this subreddit is very vague about what its guidelines are.

Therefore, half of its material is stuff that should be in other subreddits (and often already is).

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

I already saw this in /r/funny, or if it wasn't there I know it was definitely from reddit. I was really confused when I saw it again here.

[–]NonPermissive 1 point2 points ago

Still, we should see some improvement with the new rules in the sidebar.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]GenerationGreg 0 points1 point ago

Yes give me the red pill

[–]fiction8 28 points29 points ago

Because OP wanted to post to a subreddit with 1.1 million subscribers.

[–]buenopow 12 points13 points ago

/r/funny has 1.5 million subscribers, therefore op is an idiot.

[–]Himmelreich 16 points17 points ago

r/funny is also harder to get attention in. It's Hollywood; this is Bollywood.

[–]GeorgeWalkerKush 2 points3 points ago

India is the largest film producer in the world.

[–]mobileappuser 14 points15 points ago

The American film industry has a larger audience and is more competitive.

[–]paralacausa 1 point2 points ago

Actually India has a larger audience and more production companies, more actors/technicians and films made. The US film industry does, however, create more revenue. China is in third place, however it's likely to exceed the US in the next coupe of years with a current growth rate of 29%

[–]mobileappuser 0 points1 point ago

Really? More people across the globe watch Indian movies over American made ones?

No....

[–]paralacausa 0 points1 point ago*

Yep, true. There is better data available but a summary can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Industry#India

EDIT: better table/summary here: http://greenash.net.au/thoughts/2011/07/world-domination-by-box-office-cinema-admissions/

[–]MrCookiepants 1 point2 points ago

Actually, if he wanted 1,1 million and not 1,5 millions, this is the right subreddit. So at this time, your "idiot"-logic ends right back in your own court..

[–]buenopow 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand your logic

[–]follish 3 points4 points ago

He was joking; in fiction8's post he said that OP wanted to post to a subreddit with 1.1 million subs. If you take this as literally as possible, and assume it is true, then 1.5 million is too many subscribers for the OP. r/WTF is the subreddit with exactly as many subscribers as the OP wanted. That's the logic here.

[–]MrCookiepants 0 points1 point ago

If he wanted 1,1 million and not 1,5 million, where should he post this then? The subreddit with 1,1 million or the one with 1,5 million?

[–]buenopow -1 points0 points ago

If his goal is karma then wouldn't it be the larger one? Or are you saying that it is harder to get recognized because it is bigger.

[–]MrCookiepants 1 point2 points ago

I think I'm just messing with you really :P But what fiction8 meant was, that it is harder to be noticed in r/funny than it is in r/wtf due to the size..

[–]seanomenon 17 points18 points ago

It caused my brain to skip a beat, and go "Huh? Uh... WTF?" I declare it WTF worthy.

I also declare that comments stating something isn't WTF worthy don't belong in WTF. They belong in /r/whiningaboutwtf

[–]8BitMunky 2 points3 points ago

It is now. "created by yetanotherxa. community for 5 minute"

[–]kujo2 -2 points-1 points ago

Me too. Is this a begging of a new era? Well, subreddit?

[–]yetanotherx 0 points1 point ago

Now it is. :)

[–]rocketsurgery 3 points4 points ago

I see comments like yours all the time and while I always agree with them, I don't get why people who upvote you don't downvote this submission. If you reward people who post non-wtf material, it's all you'll get.

[–]NonPermissive 8 points9 points ago

48 people upvoted him. ~2411 (yes, fuzz, I know) people upvoted the post. We do downvote the submission, but there's too many who do the opposite.

There's usually a big difference of opinion between the people who comment on posts and the people who just vote without checking out the comments.

[–]BritishHobo 2 points3 points ago

They might. But there's a lot more people upvoting in default subreddits than there are people who visit the comments, or actually care about the quality of submissions. So no matter how much complaining there is in the comments, imgur links and gifs, and non-WTF stuff, will always end up on the front page.

[–]MestR 0 points1 point ago

This is exactly why there should be a general subreddit for all those posts that don't really fit in anywhere else.

[–]skinniegenes 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I'm so upset I saw something cool in a place where I wasn't quite expecting it.

[–]SweetNeo85 -2 points-1 points ago

GUESS WHAT. DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS OF WHAT IS AND WHAT ISN'T WTF.

[–]xkaymex 1 point2 points ago

By reddit standards, nothing belongs in /r/wtf. You'll see 'this doesn't belong here it's not wtf!' in practically every submission. Of course, it's easier to call other people dumb for submitting something you don't think belongs here than to acknowledge you aren't the only person on the internet. :P

[–]PictureofPoritrin 1 point2 points ago

reddit has standards?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]BritishHobo 1 point2 points ago

I don't really understand the downvotes, that gif is more WTF than half the stuff that's actually upvoted in /r/WTF.

[–]Crooooow -2 points-1 points ago

there is nothing about that gif that makes it belong in r/WTF

[–]caitlinreid -1 points0 points ago

[–]tencents -1 points0 points ago

I thought the pile of clothes was a kid dressed as a wizard that he was going to throw into the wall

[–]hoodie92 2 points3 points ago

Doesn't make it wtf-worthy, though.

[–]Ranelion -2 points-1 points ago

Saying that something doesn't belong in /r/WTF = instant karma

[–]hoodie92 0 points1 point ago

Instant Karma's gonna get you.

[–]the_average_asian 50 points51 points ago

+1 for Nathan Barnatt pure internet gold

[–]DougisonFire 21 points22 points ago

My name is... TRALE LEWOUSE.

[–]the_average_asian 2 points3 points ago

Ray Amsley on not being murdahed! RULE NUMBAH 1!

[–]umilmi81 2 points3 points ago

He looks a lot like Keith Apicary

[–]DougisonFire 2 points3 points ago

Dear God... I must get that T-shirt.

[–]Yeti_of_the_Flow 0 points1 point ago

He used to steal my cheese whiz when I was a weird little kid who liked to eat cheese whiz.

[–]Kalakarinth 10 points11 points ago*

I'm so happy Nathan has finally made it. He has a show coming to Adult Swim soon enough that you should all watch. Having watched his stuff since 2008 (Talking Classics) Nathan totally deserves this. I hope all of you continue supporting his future endeavors.

[–]Rcmike1234 1 point2 points ago

He is getting a show. My god, my life is complete.

[–]TrollMN 10 points11 points ago

After watching this more times than I'd like to admit, what happened to the shoes? They go in white and come out black with no accountability. Same with the sunglasses and the cigarettes.

I'll go out on a limb here and say it is some kind of “Prestige”

[–]I_wwebsite 1 point2 points ago

It sucks when young looking guys go bald. From behind he looks to be in his 40s. When he pops out of the other side he looks like a spry 30 year old.

[–]jpole1 1 point2 points ago

And in reality, he's 31. Source: wikipedia

[–]TrollMN 0 points1 point ago

So instead of a twin he uses his younger, more attractive brother :-P

[–]50MoreTrash 8 points9 points ago

Was hoping this was somehow Portal/Harry Potter mashup. Was actually neither. Still enjoyed, would watch again.

[–]nathanbarnatt 4 points5 points ago

Thanks for GIFing this!

[–]Journalisto 4 points5 points ago

I really, really need to get a wall like this.

[–]spyd4r 1 point2 points ago

[–]el_cheato 3 points4 points ago

Nothing WTF about it. Just a normal film cut with very good timing. Still cool though.

[–]Shimshamwow 2 points3 points ago

So what does this have to with Hogwarts, exactly?

[–]TronCorleone 1 point2 points ago

I could stare at this for hours

[–]HelmaLennartz 1 point2 points ago

but where do the sunglasses come from?

[–]FUUFNF-R 1 point2 points ago

My favorite video with this guy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-OnEe-dauE

[–]omgdonerkebab 1 point2 points ago

Also similar to what Janelle Monae did in her music video for Tightrope.

Link to relevant part of video

[–]harmedgreen 1 point2 points ago

Did anyone else watch that for way too long?

[–]ehazkul 5 points6 points ago

kind of looks like portal to hipsterville instead.

[–]PrettyandReckless 1 point2 points ago

Am I weird to think this is actually pretty cool looking?

[–]comment_filibuster 0 points1 point ago

Potential phrases used in this thread while it currently remains comment-neglected and on the front-page. "REPOST", "WHY IS THIS IN R/WTF", "I HAVE A BANANA IN MY PANTS WHY", AND "POTATO".
