@@scottgoede7793 I don't know what was going on, but I internally recognized my struggle to spell genius the other night and still managed to spell it wrong after 10 seconds of trying to remember how to spell it. Clearly, a sign of a complete dummy :D Thank you for pointing this out.
Sebastien Brewer agreed. Elaborate doesn’t equal smart. Just unrealistic. This one was an especially risky idea because of the way people are nowadays, one could get sued for a racial joke.
Woessner1101 Either you haven’t seen the show or you just don’t get it. Nathan’s ideas aren’t meant to crash and burn, they’re supposed to achieve the goal in the most convoluted and ridiculous way possible. Most of them are actually good ideas in a weird way.
im still pissed that theres no way to see Mr Show sketches without the laughtrack from the 90s. but for a show this new, there was gonna be a laugh track? that would have legitimately ruined the whole show

His brother Charlie who served in the 9th Division's 37th Infantry at 11 major World War II battles and had his ashes buried at Arlington National Cemetery.[5][6] When he was sixteen, his older brother Charlie read in the New York Daily News about a free dramatic workshop being put on by the Works Progress Administration and told him about it. His uncle, Harry Mathias, was the first entertainer in his family.[7] He had been working as a machinist repairing sewing machines. He credits Charlie with changing his career plans.[8] Career[edit] Reiner at the Emmy Awards in September 1989 Reiner performed in several Broadway musicals, including Inside U.S.A., and Alive and Kicking, and had the lead role in Call Me Mister. In 1950, he was cast by producer Max Leibman in Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, appearing on air in skits while also working alongside writers such as Mel Brooks and Neil Simon. He also worked on Caesar's Hour with Brooks, Simon, Larry Gelbart, Mel Tolkin, Mike Stewart, Aaron Ruben, Sheldon Keller and Gary Belkin. Starting in 1960, on The Steve Allen Show, Reiner teamed with Mel Brooks as a comedy duo. Their performances on stage and television included Reiner playing the straight man to Brooks' 2000 Year Old Man character. The routine eventually expanded into a series of five comedy albums and a 1975 animated TV special. In 1959, Reiner developed a television pilot, Head of the Family, based on his own personal and professional life. However, the network didn't like Reiner in the lead role. In 1961, it was recast and retitled The Dick Van Dyke Show, and became an iconic series, making stars of his lead actors Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. In addition to writing many of the episodes, Reiner occasionally appeared as temperamental show host "Alan Brady", who ruthlessly browbeats his brother-in-law (played by Richard Deacon). The show ran from 1961 to 1966. In 1966, he co-starred in the Norman Jewison film The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. Reiner began his directing career on the Van Dyke show. After that show ended its run, Reiner's first film feature was an adaptation of Joseph Stein's play Enter Laughing (1967), which in turn was based on Reiner's semi-autobiographical 1958 novel of the same name. Balancing writing, directing, producing, and acting, Reiner has worked on a wide range of films and television programs. Films from his early directing career included the cult comedy Where's Poppa? (1970), starring George Segal and Ruth Gordon, Oh, God! (1977) with George Burns, and The Jerk (1979) with Steve Martin. Reiner played a large role in the early career of Steve Martin, by directing and co-writing four films for the comedian: The Jerk in 1979, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid in 1982, The Man with Two Brains in 1983, and All of Me in 1984. Reiner also appeared in both The Jerk and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Reiner with Goldie Hawn in 1970 In 1989, he directed Bert Rigby, You're a Fool. In 1990 he narrated the Grimm children's story "The Musicians of Bremen" (music by Bernard Rogers) for a CD of classical music for children. In 2000, Reiner was honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. A year later, he played thief and con man Saul Bloom in Steven Soderbergh's remake of Ocean's Eleven and has reprised that role in its sequels, Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen. In 2004, Reiner voiced Sarmoti in Father of the Pride. Reiner is the author of several books, including his 2004 memoir, My Anecdotal Life: A Memoir, and novels such as 2006's NNNNN: A Novel. In American Film, Reiner expressed his philosophy on writing comedy: "You have to imagine yourself as not somebody very special but somebody very ordinary. If you imagine yourself as somebody really normal and if it makes you laugh, it's going to make everybody laugh. If you think of yourself as something very special, you'll end up a pedant and a bore. If you start thinking about what's funny, you won't be funny, actually. It's like walking. How do you walk? If you start thinking about it, you'll trip." In May 2009, he guest-starred as a clinic patient on the season finale of House. Reiner also lent his voice to the character of Santa Claus in the NBC Christmas special Merry Madagascar in November 2009 and reprised his role as Santa in The Penguins of Madagascar holiday special "The All Nighter Before Christmas. In December 2009, Reiner guest-starred as a television producer on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men. In June 2010, Reiner guest starred in TV Land's new series "Hot in Cleveland" as Elka Ostrovsky's date and reprised the role in July 2010. Reiner also made appearances on The Cleveland Show as Murray and wrote the story for the episode "Your Show of Shows", named after the program that started his career. Reiner reprised his role on Two and a Half Men in October 2013 and once more in January 2014. Personal life[edit] Reiner on the set of Good Heavens in 1976 On December 24, 1943, Reiner married singer Estelle Lebost. The two were married 64 years until her death in 2008. At the time of the marriage, Reiner was 21 and she was 29. Estelle delivered the line "I'll have what she's having" in the deli scene of their son Rob's 1989 film When Harry Met Sally.[1] She died on October 25, 2008, at age 94.[9] Reiner is the father of actor and director Rob Reiner (b. 1947), poet, playwright and author Sylvia Anne (Annie) Reiner (b. 1949), and painter,[10] actor, and director Lucas Reiner (b. 1960).[1][11] Reiner has described himself as a Jewish atheist.[4] He says, "I have a very different take on who God is. Man invented God because he needed him. God is us."[12][13] Bibliography[edit] Enter Laughing (1958) 2000 Years With: Carl Reiner & Mel Brooks (with Mel Brooks, 1960) All Kinds of Love (1993) Continue Laughing (1995) How Paul Robeson Saved My Life (and Other Mostly Happy Stories) (1999) The 2000 Year-Old Man in the Year 2000: The Book (1999) My Anecdotal Life: A Memoir (2003) NNNNN: A Novel (2006) Tell Me Another Scary Story...

I love how they hired a bodyguard in case someone tries to beat the fuck out of Greg. If I were a caricature artist, I would give people options on what kind of depiction they would like.
For the show it's obviously better if they're not expecting it at all and you get a genuine reaction. If he asked first it would ruin the joke because all caricature artists draw basically the same thing, so to have your expectations completely subverted you get a genuine reaction, and the absurdity of it is funny. By being specific and telling them what they are getting, they're less likely to be surprised also not that many people are probably going to request to get destroyed in their caricature when given an option.
Nathan is a master manipulator. You don't know what really happened, this might've flopped and this is like 1% of results but Nathan decided to show it like that.
DeathFromBelow 11 He actually still offers the “King of Sting” service, it’s just not his main thing. You can get one from him right now online if you’d like
@@deathfrombelow1193 Honestly i would see no reason why it didnt work. A snowflake wouldnt request such a picture, but shows like South Park, Drawn Together, Family Guy or the Simpsons were so popular because they did use some pretty funny racist jokes or stereotypical humour. Many people like this stuff.
"Do you find this drawing funny? If you answered "Yes", you're probably caricature artist Greg Dohlen. He was the one who drew it." LOL! Implying he is the only one. First bit in this skit and I am already laughing way harder than I have with any Key & Peele skit on this channel.
I like how with the drawing of the "Asian man" at the beginning, he automatically includes Pearl Harbor, even though that event was specifically enacted by the Japanese.
@@marvinuhilarious - of course. But he’s generalizing. The man in the drawing could have been from any other Asian country and he still would have had Pearl Harbor in there. That’s part of the ludicrousness. Jeezus.
I mean it's such an amicable situation, at first their upset, then confused, then they're like oh this is funny. It forces their reaction. Kind of reveals the beauty of Nathan's effect on people.
If the jokes were actually funny instead of "haha small willy" then yes it would be a good idea. Look at /r/roastme on Reddit, people can't get enough of it.
"I mean, the Pearl Harbor thing is almost not even a joke." My new favorite show on comedy central, this bit had me crying I was laughing so hard. I'll see how my wife reacts to this video, if she laughs I'll have to contact Greg for one of these.
Wait wait wait, let's just think about this. The King of Sting rules! What a character! There is no way to dislike him Really hoping for him that he enjoyed the experiment and stuck with it The drawings were awesome, vile humor top notch I would travel to have him judge me on paper, it f-in rules The date rape pills dude was the best...
