Nick is the type of person who says he wants to die, but will actually live to 120 years old
omg he's literally me
he's fear death more than he hates life
@@THApeanutMagician he’s fear straight more than he hates BBC
😂 too true
@@THApeanutMagiciane knows that if it is all real then he’s definitely going to hell
I love the dynamic here. You have to struggle to hear Nick as if he’s in another room, but you can hear Adam literally breathing
You can hear Adam's pulse and Nick sounds like he is whispering from across a busy street
you can hear his perforated cocaine septum whistling 😂😂
wheezing...
Nick has been irreparably damaged by having a seasonal position at Gamestop 15 years ago
Nick is basically saying that he wants to be Stav, a man who saw Thor 3 in theatres more than once
@PARER1Stop lying bro
@PARER1if you're not gay I'm praying for you.
wait... which one was thor 3?
@@EnwardSnowmanthe good one.
That is so true
Adam's nose constantly whistling through all of this was what really made it for me.
GODDAMN IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS ME! I even blew my nose.
I thought there was a nest of rats in my ceiling I kept pausing the video to see if the sound continued
I thought it was a dog xD
I thought there was a dying mouse somewhere in my apartment.
@@conkghey2511 I thought it was my dog until I paused the video
This is an extremely weird way for Nick to ask Adam to tell him he loves him.
Nah u just weird lol
Tell me mr. 280... what if socrates was a bug man
@@nuggert all humans are bugs. we even get inside of what looks like giant exoskeletons to go somewhere.
Somebody finally gets it
I thought someone was vacuuming in the background but I realized halfway through the video that the sound was coming from the sheer volume of air being inhaled into Adam's nose
Goddamn whistle
It's why he's the best at doing coke out of them
My dumbass was listening to this in my car on my lunch break and I was shit scared thinking my belts were fucked 😂
Air is free
Nick just wants to be so dumb that dumb stuff is intoxicating for him so he doesn't have to take drugs to be intoxicated
Isn't that all of us
1000% identify with this
Why doesn't he just smoke weed?
@@Adam-yo3bt when you get old enough that doesn't cut it anymore son
Nick needs stars of death and star war marathons that will cure him
Loved the philosophical debate bois. Nick's existential dread of starting a TV show is something I think many can relate haha I am pretty sure it was Nietzsche who said "If you gaze long enough into the abyss, the Mandalorian gazes back into you"
It’s spelled g-a-y-s
I thought that was Jung actually
@@Bobandy902 and I thought I was Hung. Looks like we’re both wrong
@Ran D. Bobandy maybe they should get Jordan Peterson on TAFS to resolve this quandrary haha then they can ask why he thinks "its actually gay...to get pussy" hahaha
This is the most racist post i have ever read
Nick is just depressed and he tries to approach it rationally. You can't reason with depression more then you can reason with a headache.
Ay woah he's self pissed
Adam is two steps away from telling Nick to clean up his room
Nick should’ve been born in Greece in 482BC. Perfect place for a gay philosopher
nick's not wrong. Collecting transformers helps me from jamming my face into a wood chipper.
Every comment on CZcams sucks. Except yours. That is the best thing I've ever read on the internet. Please don't kill yourself. The world needs people to collect toys.
@@yawn2992are you selling them 🤣
@@yawn2992 I like the comments on these videos, they make me feel normal-ish
Hell, yes. We must keep living, even if it's just to see if the next Transformers film is tight.
I relate, I got into legos recently and now my life has meaning
Nick is anxious to learn what’s wrong, and Adam is being a great friend
cum town was a friendship simulator for the fans; TAFS is a friendship simulator for the hosts
nick is perfectly describing being too self aware while also being severely depressed which is j a pit of misery
Nick finally admits he’s a Star Wars nerd.
He's admitted to it multiple times lol
Pretending to not know the names of all the background aliens for years on CT 😂
Alot of us were. Before those goddamm special editions.
Anyone’s who’s seen that old footage of him with a ponytail and glasses will know that man was at one point maximum nerd. He worked at GameStop. He’s definitely versed in some incredibly nerdy shit
And it only took a pandemic, Cocaine, and alcohol addiction to get there.
“I don’t care about Black Adam, but I still watched it”
Adam’s 🧢 of the week
Nick should dress as baby yoda on the next taping
I completely get what Nick’s saying. It’s at your core being a miserable contrarian that can’t help but poke holes and find problems with every single fuckin thing. Popular media really brings that out because it’s so praised and so easy to tear apart. The more content you are in your life the less you feel the need to say “fuck this thing” so he’s absolutely right about it being a good litmus test and also we should kiss
thank god i am gay enough to understand any of this!
Let me get all chapstick-ed up and we can get down to business!!
It's the whole of the postmodern condition. We've been building toward this philosophically for about a century.
This thread is insanely gay
I think I actually get what Nick’s trying to convey. His spectrum brain can’t just let go and enjoy something without over analyzing it
Yeah all the best film critics are known for their under analyzing fr true story he's just retarded
He's *
nick talking about how he needs to love the mandalorian and funko pops but then arguing with adam over that loving himself and others around him 'is nullifying himself' is so funny to me.
Nah. You don't have to on the spectrum to be bored by Mando at 37.
@@GrahamBartle I think he’s saying he wants to be able to turn his brain off and enjoy it
“I just don’t feel good” spot on Nick…also I’m gay.
I think Nick is so self aware that it’s a problem for him, I think he yearns to be able to enjoy something fun and simple without the voice in the back of his head saying “this is gay”. I think part of his personality is that he doesn’t fully invest himself into anything because it seems like a normie thing to do. In reality he should be one of the biggest comedians but he sets the bar high in his own mind and it would take a lot of work for him to take his shit to the level he wants it at and but he’s not willing to dive into it without getting self destructively meta about it. He’s probably been post modern so long that he craves that which he internally criticized.
Btw everyone hates him now but Bert Kreischer is definitely a guy who enjoys Mandalorian. As cringy as he is to meta folks, there’s something to be said about unabashedly enjoying something, maybe even admitting it’s gay, but enjoy it anyway
@@WofulAverage8 knowing something is gay but enjoying it anyways is basically metamodernism
Yeah I think you’re right, he’s just too stuck in his own head. Trying to get outside of that and enjoy something might actually help, but I really think he just needs to apply himself to something. He’s done it before with bodybuilding and woodwork and even getting this show put together, but I think he needs a more risky and ambitious project.
@@LordJagd he’s a comedic genius which he’s well aware of but he lacks drive especially after he got to riff and ramble his way to an amazing financial situation. He obviously is only pushed by creative endeavors like when he kind of revived his brain with the beginning of TAFS but now it’s getting to a point where it is maintainable and no longer being built from the ground up. Hopefully he can channel discipline into stand up or writing because he’s a creative that is on and off with that career
@@LordJagd he needs to get back into working on grip strength
Adam has been alarmingly on point lately
It’s easier when a self loathing whale isn’t bogarting the space with fake laughter and redirected aggression.
I think Adam may actually be retarded.
@@zacharyfarley1727Nick isn't that bad
Stav is a uniquely hideous little creature.
@@zacharyfarley1727 I swear you dudes are somehow simultaneously mad af he left and overjoyed he's gone?
Bruh, it seems they split on good enough terms, and both sides are putting out better work because of it. It's fine lol
nicks gonna transition by the end of the year
return of Nicole
I've not watched Black Adam but I would like to watch Adam Blacked.
As a chicagoan im very glad nick had a bad time here
Love hearing someone try to reverse engineer a cure for alcoholism
i love nick so much this is exactly how i feel. too cynical to enjoy basic things so i get fucked up instead. when i’m really the sucker for having a mindset that picks apart everything in my life and essentially convinces me that drugs are the only option. part of this is also just growing up as a man and almost being socially pressured into losing yourself emotionally. therapy is not gay it’s actually pretty cool and i think nick should try it out
The gay thing Adam said about having love and giving love and realizing when his mom died that's what matters in life is I think completely sincere and genuine because I started thinking that way after losing my dad at a young age and before I would've made fun of friends for giving advice like that
You two have a great friendship and a fun camaraderie 🔥
😇
Nick I love you
I've rewatched this so many times, it really resonated with me
Nick should become an anime nerd
I think you're onto something. This sounds like a joke but it's actually not: there's something about people on the spectrum and anime that connects. Star Wars is just for normies. He'd probably love anime but its too "gay" for him. I say this as someone who's not super into anime even.
I have this thought like every couple of months. What are some anime that a lot of people are watching right now? Preferably something that isn’t 10 seasons in?
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 haikyu, mob psycho, jujutsu kaisen
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 Death note is a good one to start out
@@Zzyxzaa You seem to have good taste in entertainment. I'm not being sarcastic.
But the truth is that anime *IS* too gay for most self-conscious people. Weebs are simultaneously some of the most insufferable and enviable people. Insufferable for their awful hobbies and enviable for their sincerity.
The Mandalorian more like The Mulldog worryin'
Nick using 10000 analogies to describe finding peace is nice
Do an impression of a person who's having fun watching the mandelorian
I enjoyed listening to my close personal friend and confidante (Nikolai Mullenovich) expand on his difficulties enjoying Disney pig slop. I resonated with his experiences, which makes sense - as hr and I are so similar and very good (best) friends
This was an amazing conversation to listen to.
Being able to find joy in the Mandolorian must be so nice
Don't you ever just get tired of your own negative and depressive bullshit and actually put in some effort to turn your brain off and enjoy things? I still get depressed and cynical but for fuck sakes I'm not a broken record I can try and change the tune when I realize I'm stuck in a negative loop. I mean do some shrooms or some shit get on meds see a therapist literally anything besides whining and demanding to be happy at every moment of life. You're not supposed to be happy all the time, the Mandalorian is an escape from this shitty reality for a 30 to 50 minutes once a week for 8 weeks every two years if that doesn't make you forget everything sucks pick a different fucking hobby, we are all miserable you are not special for suffering we all experience it now shut up go buy Disney plus and watch the fucking dumbass show with puddle deep religious allegories.
@@nicholasmaniccia1005 bro are you really defending disneys shit tv show like this. You need to touch grass and probably do some DMT or shrooms.
The best thing about these dudes is their sincerity.
I completely understand the sentiment Nick express. When your in a bad place you really are unable to enjoy thing that should rock your world or would have when you were a child, younger or just more bright eye. And the feeling of appreciating something you would have been immediately critical about in the wrong state of mind, is a gigantic milestone to self improvement/actualisation and healing, and really does feel great. 💪
This conversation is as deep as the oceans of Kamino
This is as deep or possibly even deeper than stavros's bellybutton
Adam trying to manipulate Nick in his moment of vulnerability. "I think you should just be kind to your friends and family".
lol i thought the same thing, was half expecting Nick to crush him for it, but he was too focused on his own problem to correct Adams pathological self centeredness
@@delusionalmystic8533 Then he brings up his dead mother. The bug is unbelievable.
Are you for real?
One of the realest moments on the show by far, Nick has Wisdom of the Falcon.
lol Adam's face when he looks to camera is so funny
If you look at the whole of human history, Nick has had one of the best lives of any person to ever live.
And i'm sure he'd readily agree.
I'll tread on your balls in some stilettos.
I really feel for Nick if he thinks an inability to enjoy a kid-friendly Disney pastiche of Western tropes designed as a launchpad for spinoffs and merchandise makes him an emotionally broken Stan Marsh cynic. Sure, you can envy the simple-mindedness of someone for whom just seeing STAR WARS pop up on the screen makes them cheer, but that's not an ideal mindset to strive towards, especially not for a creative.
Yeah but do you remember Boba Fett? Wasn’t he cool?
I think he's just given up on trying to derive fulfilment from things in his life that are actually meaningful, so he's seeking refuge in media bullshit, because he views people that are invested in media bullshit as people who've failed to live a fulfilling life, and substantiate that with the emotional equivalent of cotton candy. He wants to use baby yoda like alcohol to numb himself to reality. The thing is it'll never work because Nick has in abundance what happy consoomers lack, which is self awareness
@@alpharoo2581 He had a jet pack and went pew pew. Remember when Dark Vader said; “No disintegrations” ?
Ooh, I 'member!
You forgot to say I’m gay
you have to want to have fun from time to time. Fun and enjoyment aren't always something that 'just happens'. Sometimes you have to sit through some shit, flush your brain of the negative thought in real a time, and see if you can find something to enjoy about it.
It’s a revelation to me he didn’t drink and do coke at the same time? I thought that everyone on coke did that
Nicks mustache not moving when he talks is peak depression
This is the intellectuals Jordan perterson
I can relate to how Nick's feeling. I'm in a pretty decent position in life, but everything feels hollow. It's like I'm playing make pretend. The only time I ever feel something is if it goes wrong, then its just a feeling of shame and panic. It's probably because I'm gay.
Nick can't successfully convey to Cool Adam that Adam watches shows made for people who haven't mastered object permanence.
Andor does kick major ass though
Loved Adam's deviated septum in this
I love it When the audio of the video is four times quieter than every other video on this f****** website
Nick, I have the solution for you. I’m a registered nurse in Neuro trauma and I have witnessed the simplification that you’re looking for. Just have an ischemic stroke and after that; buying a stuffed animal will make you happy 10 out of 10 times.
Nick is basically saying his serotonin and dopamine are fucked up. He can't get emotionally "high" off of normal stuff like a balanced person can. Symptoms of both depression and addiction. I don't know what exactly fixes that, but I hope he finds it.
This specific case is like complaining about not getting your dick hard for your wife when you're gay. It's not gonna happen. The dude has openly shown contempt for what he calls "baby movies" for a long time.
If Nick was making some more generalized complaints about depression, sure, I would agree, but that's not what he's doing.
I wonder if Nick is just having a hard time connecting with a new girl
This comes up bc I been going on these dumb dates where people want to happily connect over shared cultural interests (like a light-hearted well-made TV show), and I (& my best friend Nick) am just too tired and too mentally deconstructing to genuinely be excited or even motivated to pretend, & then regress back to being by myself out of breath lying in bed alone for days
Yeah man I had this issue for a while. As gay as it sounds you have to find a way to accept what Adam is saying, taking joy in people themselves even if you don’t like the same stuff. Changed a lot for me. Idk try reading the rebel by camus.
@Noah Sauger damn dude, thanks for the rec, I'll Kindle it
yeah, I'm gay -- like literally, bc I'm lacking enough motivation, or mental state, to actually pursue chicks in my thirties even though I've been single for a year. I'm probably projecting but it seemed like what Nick was talking about bc he brought up getting out of a relationship right at the end, and being primed or open to nice people who just want to enjoy your company and things with you. I literally was at this girl's house two days ago, hot Russian chick in her twenties, was talking to her, and I suddenly needed to sit down bc I was just tired. Like pursuing a new relationship from scratch suddenly made me physically exhausted. There's also other interested chicks, like a couple cute baristas that talk to me sometimes -- similar thing, and I just get feel tired and empty smiling
Anyways, I really shouldn't fucking complain but it was extremely relatable, and I just felt this Nick rant so hard
@@delusionalmystic8533 it’s tough man I was in the same boat pretty recently, and it takes some serious work to come out of. You keep hoping it will just “happen” or “click” if you find the right person, but it doesn’t ya know? But you can find a way through it that isn’t some bought and paid for ideological answer from someone trying to make a quick buck off of lost people on social media.
I hope you like the book. It’s a long form essay on the existential absurdity of the times as they become more modern, and how we ought not become nihilistic in the face of that, but use it as a whetstone to sharpen our authenticity, since we now have the ability to define ourselves. A bit dry, but a pretty potent answer to a lot of what I feel they are discussing here and what you or I have been through.
I’ll keep ya in my thoughts man, for what that’s worth. This is gay but so am I
Nick needs to try microdosing or do a heroic dose of shrooms.
You should try black tar heroin
One of my biggest fears in life is what Nick is describing - that suddenly, I wont care if Pittsburgh sports teams win, that I wont enjoy my favorite horror movies. I know ill always have family and friends, but like Nick said, its more about the day to day enjoyment we get from banal things.
Is that really important, though? Do you think that will be something you value and feel good about at the end of your life?
Get👏In👏To👏Gundams👏
I definitely agree with nicks sentiment about happiness. Its a semi schizophrenic state. Rather than saying your happy it would make more sense to say i am not over encumbered in my pursuit of fulfillment. Also poopeepeeweewee
i am primed for happiness aka that dick. give it to me anytime, but I cant wait.
Honestly this clip came to me at the right time. I relate to a lot of Nicks saying here I live a pretty good life make good money not struggling at all and yet everything seems so hollow and meaningless to me and I can't shut off that self aware critical voice in my head doing anything. I think it's time to see a doctor because I'm out of my own excuses/explainations for these feelings. Also I'm gay.
Jesus Christ why is also I'm gay still funny what the fuck is wrong with me Jesus lmao
Also good luck, it might well be worth it in the long run
Dude I just got a letter from my psychiatrist today saying my psychiatrist has dropped me because I do too many drugs lmao I was joking lol so close to killing myself 😂
I'm gay too, and feel the same way. I feel pointless , so back to playing bloodboorne.
I only recently got into these guys but it’s freaking me out how similar to nick that I am. I literally posed these questions to myself a while ago. Like what’s stopping me from becoming a funko pop guy and buying a $300 lightsaber from Disneyland and enjoying the dumb things in life
The only thing stopping you is you
Damn Mullens hitting my nail on the head.. also is nullify a reboot reference?
Micks going to hear that nose whistle and go back to drinking
Adam stole his gay outlook on life from Ian Fidance
Damn this got deep.
dude can you up the volume on these from now on? its like ridiculously quiet
not sure if its tafs having gay audio or what but definitely needs a volume boost
@@DeeSevenSeven I'm not sure if it's intentionally low, to bait you to turn your volume way up so that the next thing you watch explodes your ears and scares the shit out of you. If so, mission accomplished, because every time I watch one of these the next video makes my asshole pucker out of existence from the sheer, immediate, deafening volume differential.
(I'm gay)
@@GuyDude-hk8uy it's called dynamics. but yea it wouldn't kill the uploader to at least normalize the audio track.
@@GuyDude-hk8uy the exact problem I'm having.
(I'm also gay)
@@Xx_Eric_was_Here_xX no, it's just poor mixing.
Is there a dog wincing in the background? Lol
Starts about himself as a vehicle to analyse trap the bug
We love ya Nick
I love this so much.
adam's come a long way since birthright
I just wanted to hear them riff on mandalorian
Ned Flanders: “Breathe through your DAMN MOUTH”
Next week: Adam rigs a piano to fall on Nick's head.
Nick: “Yeah, but what about me?”
Season 3 made me loose the hope I gained after watching andor.
Same it’s all downhill from here
Not sure Mandalorian an adequate litmus test. Milf Manor seems more the go...
Who unearthed the old footage of Jeff Goldblum?
Nick speaks to me.
Nick looks almost exactly like the first character I made playing GTA 5 online.
I'll never feel jealously towards Nick again.
I’m in a similar boat to Nick wrt not enjoying anything, and recently I started thinking that men are biologically not supposed to be single or childless at this age, something Marty says on True Detective (“past a certain age, a man without a family can be a bad thing”). You are either supposed to have a kid, who will occupy your entire mind and give your life meaning (which is attested to by everyone, from dead beats to billionaires), or you are supposed to leave for a faraway land to improve the welfare of your community by fighting an enemy tribe. It poses quite a conundrum for us gay guys. You can even see it with Tim Dillon. I’ve heard him talk about his Chinese godson/nephew more times than I can remember.
There will never be “the right time” to do it, right now is as good as any.
Adam is also right. He said he’d enjoy The Mandalorian “because it’s there”. You are not supposed to enjoy something that was made to inspire 12 year olds for what it is. You are supposed to do it surrounded by your family and friends. You are supposed to talk about it only because it will give you another reason to talk to them (other than their bad habits, the money they owe you, the inheritance you can’t split etc). And as he said, you only realize it after someone you’re supposed to “enjoy” it with passes away.
Wow this is deep for TAFS comment section
As a gay man i can "get behind" this... so to speak
how old are you fucks bc this got me, I'm in my thirties
So to feel fulfilled as a man you have to become someone's piggy bank?
Bullshit.
This is solved by getting a girlfriend and a therapist. Every other guy with money has figured this out
Who would've thought that Stav leaving would lead to Adam using Star Wars to talk Nick down from the ledge?
KEEP IT LIGHT BOYS
Good talk.
Does anyone know the chairs they are sitting in?
More NOSE whistling please !!
"The Sopranos ended 20 years ago, it's time to move on" -- nice, concise statement of the modern blackpill
This is a very modern depiction of how a bully gets his way lol
I love that Adam's one contribution to this was saying that people think andor is a better show.
Also that Disney bought stawars.
Adam bats 1.000 at inserting any and every factoid he knows about [given subject,] regardless of whether it adds to the conversation. It's def on the TAFS bingo card
Adam is saying turn your brain off and Nick is incapable of turning his brain off.
Adam channeling his inner Dillon here
Nick actively fighting the right answers as a bit is peak TAFS
