Yeah, massage was kind of weak. I love the unnecessary footage, like showing the craigslist guy getting dressed and saying goodbye.

"Chili."

"Not Chili."

Gold.

Chili suit was funny, but needed some more awkwardness with the customer interactions. Might have been hard to film in the arena.

Massage idea not as strong, but the gala was funny. Should have pressed the LA City Councilman more, if he strongly supports genital warts, if he loves people with genital warts.

This season just seems to focus on the execution of elaborate ideas and finding weirdos to feature on screen. I thought it was at its best when it would put normal people in awkward situations and get hilarious reactions from them. The people getting massages just acted exactly like you would expect "ok, I'll take the non-wart massage" and there was nothing interesting about the interactions with the hockey fans.

It's still entertaining TV, just not as good as previous seasons.

the ending was perfect with the 2 wart massage therapists talking about baking pies

They should've pushed the envelope more with the non-wart massage. Like $50 more, and then see how people react.

i kinda agree with that criticism, but the elaborateness of his schemes is so hilarious

loved when they showed the picture of the audience member staring when one of the wart guys mentioned he'd be doing massage

he will be wearing thin gloves

that episode was so hot

"Ai-doo"

I wanted to see more footage of that cabbie blasting Lou Bega on repeat and his customers freaking out.

Also when Nathan mentioned needing to get married, I was hoping he'd call some of the people he worked with in previous episodes to ask if they'd marry him.

That took a turn from threatening actual terrorist attacks to being a nice advertisement for Uber.

what a wild ride that ep was lololol

Mambo #5 being blared while the woman was on the phone was incredible

"I was still a little nervous about delivering our video to Uber, because I knew that once I sent them this email, they would do everything in their power to track us down. So before sending it, I cleared my entire browser history, including cookies."




"I couldn't help but feel a bit betrayed. But maybe from the very start, we had been fighting a battle that could never be won. Just like telegraphs had been replaced by telephones, and horse and buggies by cars, the free market had again chosen a winner. The real enemy wasn't Uber - it was progress."

"So with the clock ticking and no romantic prospects, I felt like the only way to safely move forward was to marry Andy without his knowledge."

So. Much. Win. Just love these free flowing episodes that go in unexpected places. Who would have ever thought of that Chinese wedding scam? That's a real ****ing marriage license form!

I'd like to see the entire divorce lawyer conversation and his reactions. It sounds like an insane story to tell a lawyer about how you tricked a guy into marrying you. I love even this simple exchange:

Divorce lawyer: What did he think was going on during that time?
Nathan: He just thought he was ordering lunch from someone at a Chinese restaurant.
Divorce lawyer: ???

Reminds me of the psychologist interview back during the S03E01 Best Buy episode, where he gets a guy certified as insane for talking about alligators and tuxedos and tiny doors to buy TVs.

Great episode. I much prefer the ones with more of a 'happy ending'.

2nd best scene in series history, not far behind the lawyer who signed the contract he didn't read

Best ep in awhile. The whole scheme played out perfectly.

I could get behind that. That lawyer scene was fantastic.

Someday I'd like to get in on a Nathan scheme as it develops before/during filming.

A+ episode

I'm really liking the shift in focus to the Rube Goldberg execution of plans, as opposed to more straight ahead way other seasons worked.

Oh my god I had seen that interview before the season and assumed it was a typical talk show BS story. What a hero.

he spent 350k on that bit?

lololololol

AMAZING

Same. I was like, I've heard this story before...Ohhhhh... And it was in fact a "typical" talk show BS story. On purpose! Just a little, uh, different way of getting the story!

Nathan's fake shocked face acting was hilarious.

Would have liked a bit more realism in the setup though. For example, less scripting with the cop, but I can see why that would be risky.

Was also surprised, like others, that this bit cost $350k, it didn't seem like it. The only thing I thought would cost more than usual was closing the road and hiring the cop, but even then I thought that part would be under $100k.
