That’s not the fucking joke. JFC, he’s suggesting that she SHOULD be in the kitchen but she’s apparently not good at it. It’s obviously a play on the old “women belong in the kitchen” joke.

It’s what older folks called “ghetto” and even older folks called “tacky.”

All of this. Nevermind the debate about “Is he offensive/is he not offensive?” How is a guy who appears in his early 20s in 2023 doing “women belong in the kitchen” jokes from 1967? Does he think he has a shot at getting a five-minute spot on The Jack Parr Show?

Oh, OK, so that’s where this Matt Rife guy came from.

It did, but apparently it was only in one out of every 2,000 households.

On the bright side, you showed bravery and gumption in NOT editing this or trying to remove it altogether and leaving your error for all the world to see.

well, that one thing that happened that might have caused the death of his girlfriend?

My only guess is that she did some work with a lot of that younger Canadian crew of actors in the past - Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel - and Nathan Fielder is part of that group so maybe at some point they met and wanted to work together and this is it.

• Do we think the birds crashing into the mirrored house are what first gave Whitney the idea to maybe opt for a mosaic next or is she truly that eager to separate her work from Aitken’s?

Exactly. He could have popped his head out of his hole, made a few stupid comments about politicians and how he could do better, then disappeared again and not really suffered any serious repercussions. Sure, the fraud charges might have cropped up eventually, but there’s an expediency to them now because his ego put…

He is incapable of taking criticism without doubling down and being a contrarian arsehole just to prove some imaginary point.

It all comes to a head when Asher has a jaw-droppingly intense chat with his father-in-law, Paul (Corbin Bernsen). Fielder frames both of them in a tiny kitchen surrounded by cherry tomatoes Paul grew with the help of human urine (!).

Also...

Not a “dumb” question, but poorly worded and asked of the wrong guy.

With maybe a weird cameo from some random celebrity thrown in.

It turns out to be Chalamet as Troye Sivan, introducing himself as an “Australian YouTube twink turned indie pop star and model turned HBO actor Troye Sivan being played by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent” (with the crowd whooping and hollering throughout),

Yeah, there definitely seems to be a regular formula to their sketches. Curious about their movie, though.

Off topic:

One of the first mockumentaries and still the best. And based on this real show on PBS, probably THE first “reality TV” show.

Cate Blanchett.
