He mentioned that the Comedy Central pilot fell through. I have a feeling what it is, though, especially because Luke posted it.

Anyway, yeah, Nathan is the man and I hope he remembers all the little people when he's that one famous guy from that TV show. :P

I think he prefers "Character Actor", as although he does improv, he's not into stand-up. Either way, yeah, he's funny nonetheless.

Nope. Great people work at CC, but his pilot/slot aired at 3 or 4am, so it's no shocker that it didn't get picked up. But the doors aren't completely closed at CC from what I've heard, but I don't know if Nathan is still considering them.


But keep up the chatter and post your favorite Nathan Barnatt videos here, as the more clicks/visibility he gets, the more likely we'll see more of him on television/film.

He use to be Blue Lazgun, but a mod changed his username several years ago.

To be honest, when he first started posting his clips I thought he was a spammer and almost banned him...


cool - I also saw he has a song called 'Dreamcast 2' something I'm pretty sure most of racketboy dream of :D

Dreamcast 2 was my first introduction to Nathan. Good stuff. It's a shame his pilot didn't get picked up, too. Has anyone been to one of his traveling shows?

I didn't think it even got as far as airing on tv. I never saw anything about it.

Thats fantastic that he has some good news, whatever it is. I remember when he was blue lazergun (I'm guessing he was named after the same gun that he uses for a mic lately) and he started posting vids. I thought they were mostly hit and miss to start with, it was when he started to speak more that I really started to like them. That yelle vid still makes me smile even though I've seen it a million times.

And yeah nathan is real gamer - there is a clip of him on you tube getting a kill screen on pac man ffs

Also I want more of the chick who was in his Shadow of the Colossus video.

She was nice. :roll: :lol:

Oh wait, is that her in the new Streets of Rage video? Haha, are they together for real? That'd be hilarious.

I like the older Talking Classics stuff. The Sega CD episode is one of my absolute favs on the internet. However I don't really find much humor in the "ASSASSINS CREED" diving and the falling down in front of unsuspecting people kind of gets old, but that's just me. I'm not really into slapstick, at least when it is done ad nauseam. Still, I wish the guy success and if he makes it bug, then that is awesome!
