yeah, i saw that. it's a fackin' shitshow and no mistake. yesterday me and my pal were fully geared up to binge recap the whole season, watch raiders of the lost ark (jared said the finale references it hard) and the finale, but we just had to get drunk and watch trashy reality shows instead! so i'm blaming viceland for my life choices basically

Final two episodes are available on Reddit.

Nothing like a good feeling

alan nagsworth

brilliant finale. i love these guys to pieces. that fucking museum scene, man!

i also just got done watching the web series which is at times equally as good as the tv show, highly recommend it

So many great bits in the finale, especially the spray can antics. Also, the whole robbing the museum thing had me it stitches - it seemed so real (other than being able to smash a exhibit case with a phone). But it can't be real can it? How is this show devised?

Ok, I'm in. Someone's been kind enough to combine the whole 2nd season and in the correct order. First episode (i.e. Part 9, the Burger) is already killing it with the fake improv.

VelourSpirit

That whole sequence from the museum to the sewers was amazing. Really worth the wait, and at least season 3 can't be too far off.

It really seemed to me that they went and took a real improv class and actually improvised deliberately well (Jay) and badly (Matt) amongst strangers. The way it's sketchily filmed through what looks like an opening in a door/jacket/bag adds to that. They play it naturally enough to pull it off, too.

That burger episode is fantastic stuff, on the whole. The cutaway scenes are so genuine, it's a completely convincing parody. "Magic buuurger! Magic buuurger!" The "genderless burger experience" jingle scene during the end credits is hilarious, too. The way the episode ends right on Jay burping as well, biggest laugh of the whole episode for me. The editing there makes for some perfect comic timing. They're real masters of their craft.

brat-sampson

Oh, yeah, I didn't mean the whole scene was fake, but theirs was clearly designed to be Good vs Bad. Something about seeing people who know improv doing it in deliberately bad ways really tickles me.

I love trying to work out what is fake and what's real. My original thought was that whole case containing the map was a prop that they'd somehow snuck into the museum and then proceeded to smash it open - so the people around them were probably genuinely reacting to the madness. The security guards that chased them I assume were actors.

After the case is smashed there's a bit where a guy in a green t-shirt with a paunch shoves Matt and says "don't move!". That seemed very real. But the security guard chase all the way to the subway was too perfectly timed.

Also, the bit where the old men are watching them spray paint on the roof. Which seems a pointless addition initially. But it sets up that fucking wonderful Fresh Prince of Bel Air gag, which is too good to have been improvised.

The whole "is this for real? thing gives the show a total edge, I haven't enjoyed something this much since the Eric Andre Show.

A bit of a sad "What?" ending though.

Just saw the battle of the bands one. Laughing.

Yeah I'm not sure what to feel about it. Is it sad or just ridiculous? I found the buffet one genuinely moving.

Ron Superior

Does anyone else think the massive delay in the finale airing could have been due to needing to make extensive changes to the show and Viceland not being in the position to do it for ages? I just think for how much they talked up the Indianna Jones comparison for so long it wasn't that similar so maybe they had to tone it down for potential new networks for the show that might have been scared of being sued to high heck.

Even if that is the case it still doesn't explain the messed up running order of the season which, having seen the whole season now, is even more frustrating. Watching it again in full in the intended order and I'm enjoying it a lot more.

Small Man Big Horse

Only just got round to watching the final two episodes just now, I have no idea why, I was just waiting to be in a good mood to watch them in I guess. Anyhow, loved the first to pieces but whilst the second had it's moments I don't think it'll ever go down as an all time classic episode.

Also, I noticed this bit of vandalism whilst they were in the tunnels:



Which I guess Viceland must have missed...

alan nagsworth

I love the season finale. The show always keeps me guessing and the end scene was wonderfully uneventful and quiet. I also think the Fresh Prince bit Matt does with the spray paint can was amazing.

Ron Superior

Just saw this shirt film about the making of Operation Avalanche and the amount of work that went in to faking the Kubrick shots really amazed me.

Also, to make this a bit more about NTBTS, there was this recent interview where at the end they mention they're trying to work something out with Netflix:

So, where is the best place to see the second series of this at the moment? Thought the previous one was the funniest thing last year.
Sorry if this thread makes it clear but i am a bit thick.

Noddy Tomkey

I use Showbox who still present the episodes as they were aired, in the wrong order. The Reddit links have all dried up so you'll probably have to get a warrant. For a torrent.


zomgmouse

There's still a few extant Reddit links if you do some digging, that's where I found the last two episodes anyway.
The others I found on openload which you can search using ololo.to although they're all out of order so you'll need to do a bit of renaming to fit the intended broadcast order.

Also:
I really love this show!!

Ron Superior

For those of you who aren't on the NTBTS Facebook group, this was posted there the other day.

I love how much work was put into this. How scrappy the finished product looks somehow makes it even more impressive to me. It's made me wonder how many more seemingly straightforward bits from the series took this much work, planning and effort.

And Axel, did you get your hands in S02 in the end?

That's fantastic.

I know there was a hell of a lot of planning and trickery that went into the Sundance episode. Man, I love this show. I wonder if we'll ever get that third season, which is apparently filmed and ready to go.

alan nagsworth

Excellent.

I've rewatched the Star Wars one a few times now and even though I can still see how it would be fairly easy to fake it (overdubbing the dialogue onto Matt and Jay, plus the shot of them being escorted out of the cinema doesn't have any of the film in the background does it?) but it's still so well made and extremely cringeworthy to watch.

Matt Johnson a serious talent and even though I've mentioned it here already, if you've not seen it, seriously go and check out The Dirties, his film from 2013. It's brilliant.

Ron Superior

Yeah, NTBTS is a show that I reckon would be perfect for a DVD release with behind the scenes and commentaries. They packed the DVD for the web series with loads of extras, but I reckon one for the TV show would be amazing.

And yeah it's definitely made me want to rewatch the Dirties and Operation Avalanche.

alan nagsworth

"Today's plan didn't work... and I'm gonna find out who's responsible. The guy who switched my paint for vaarnish, thinks he's real funny. We're gonna see how funny it is, when I got him strapped down in the chaair, with a hot poker up his aasshole... [poking motion with cigarette] Maybe he's one a' those sick fucks, laaughs at his own ass gettin' poked... but if naaht... I'll be doin' the laaughin' thaank ya very muuch..."

pissing myself just thinking about that scene


alan nagsworth

Incredible news. Everyone go and watch this show, it's one of the best things I've seen in years. Easily up there with Jon Glaser/Delocated and Nathan For You.

God yes please watch it. "The Bean" is one of my top five episodes of anything, ever

You should get one of these. I've got one and it's ace.
