Barry Season 3 Meta Moment

Something a fan pointed out in the comments somewhere

[@BroZilla-vh3tu]

I love that during this scene, Natalie is taking notes on how the algorithm works, resulting in her making a show about a bakery near Central Park

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

Holy shit Natalie invented 2 Broke Girls

Now we all know why breaking bad never got canceled. Thankyou walter jr.

Well, that explains Brad Pitt in that heist film.

@BLINDGHOST I was thinking the fist few Ocean films. Alas, I've only seen a few clips of Burn After Reading.

[@lermberl]

@@BuraindoYurei Burn After Reading is hilarious but in no way a heist film

[@LucasFerreira-kq3ye]

That's funny, but you just reminded me of the beggining of the final season, with Walter celebrating alone his birthday with the 52 made out of bacon. Those bastards knew everything.

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

This show has incredible writing

[@eyesears9748]

And now, eight years later, Natalie (who is clearly taking notes on her phone in the background, hosts a successful, multi-season cooking show called Just Desserts. Poetic.

[@williamfrederickiversen3588]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was something that actually happened with Bill Hader or other showrunner's canceled projects

[@adampavlovic6905]

Hader confirmed in an interview that the story about a show failing right away because of an algorithm is true and apparently it happened to someone he knows.

[@williamfrederickiversen3588]

@Adam Pavlovic that sucks, do you have a link to where he said that?

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

@@adampavlovic6905that’s hilarious. Meanwhile it’s always Sunny in Philadelphia failed for like 7 seasons but the ceo knew it was great and would catch on so he stuck with it. Now it’s one of the biggest shows on tv

[@pastapirate]

SEVEN seasons of Big Mouth...

[@aaacomp1]

I love how they just skipped over her agent being hugely pregnant the last few episodes. Put her in black, put her on the edge of the shot, blurred, sitting down behind a table, or make the shot too dark to notice.

[@aeggeska1]

Oh my god I didn't even notice

[@geoffreybassett6741]

I would say they didn't even try to hide it, which is great, just shows a pregnant woman doing her job and because it has no bearing on the plot is never directly addressed.

[@ajeje1996]

They show her clearly being pregnant while she devours that stoner's pastries, so I don't think they were trying to hide it... just treating her like a regular human being, which is what I wish Hollywood would do more often when it comes to "minorities". Another thing this show did amazingly well, and another reason why I liked Hank's character so much, he was a character who happened to be gay rather than a gay character.

[@pikkutaiteilija]

[@bingoing]

Then after Sally's breakdown, Natalie's show got picked up and had huge success. The name was also 'Just Desserts'...

[@gameshow4570]

In case you're wondering the absurd studio boss character is supposed to be a parody of Amy Pascal, former Sony executive and well-known intellectual lightweight.

[@kvassinc]

Holy shit!

[@soyitiel]

Wasn't this same scene where the producers go like "this makes meel like hmm but I'd like it to make me feel like ahh"? And I'm pretty sure I've watched an interview with Bill where he tells an unrelated story where some producers of the show and himself have a very similar conversation

[@noidea26]

different scenes.

[@soyitiel]

@@noidea26 You're right. You can find that scene with "Barry pitch meeting". And I've found that interview I was trying to remember. It's a video titled "Bill Hader Behind The Scenes of The Taylor Chase" in the HBO Chanel

@@NickOwens Dessert, not desert. There are two s's. The way you can tell them apart is by remembering that with dessert, you always want seconds.

@Black AnimeDude no, it's lazy bad writing and Hollywood always gets it wrong, especially the flashbacks and his first kill, it wasn't like that, every chance they get to tell the truth about what happened over there they turn it into typical, ignorant, tropes
