Cmon, guys! This is obviously Count Olaf disguised as Neil Patrick Harris.

[@sarahsyed10]

go away exactly! He is tricking all the adults

[@maryamansar9923]

look away! look away!!

[@aetherm4867]

*gasps* EPIPHANY!

[@fanelex3189]

He does not have an eye tatoo! Lol

[@bbpgamer6452]

go away, Yes... That’s very correct

[@aribafaheem7847]

I'm so grateful for Neil doing this show. He was sincerely committed to the project and his appreciation of the story really showed. The books have been one of my favourites and I'm really happy we got such a remarkable adaptation with a stellar cast!

I love that the new episode. They had David Burtka (husband and his Gideon and Harper (children).

The narration by Patrick Warburton is casted perfectly and nailed so perfectly.

Neil Patrick Harris also did a great job as Olaf.

[@zainubaali6704]

I binged watched season 3 in a day and oh my god, that last episode 😭💔 I feel so proud of the show. They really did such an amazing job.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Patrick Warburton nailed it as Lemony Snikett. He reminded me of a more comical Rod Serling.

[@christianschoff2490]

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Christian Schoff It came on, on the 1st! 🤣

[@ciarabissong3384]

Me too one day

[@sharkyyyx5653]

I’m sooo sad it’s over. Season 3 was super good, the last episode was a tear jerker.

[@DemonGirl009]

A Series of Unfortunate Events was a huge part of my childhood and I can't thank that cast and crew enough for the incredible job they did with the series. It's gorgeous and speaks so strongly to the source material.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

The book series was a big influence on me as a child, and I was thrilled with this adaptation. Niel absolutely killed as Count Olaf but the entire cast, not to mention the aesthetic, were just a thrill to behold.

[@shihab1997]

1:45 his laugh is exactly the same as Count Olaf in the show 😂😂

[@kolinneangelapatayan5645]

Oh yeah ikr

[@jay8s8]

Ikr

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

To this day, my favorite joke was when Olaf expressed his distaste for movie theaters and referred to it as a “God-forsaken nickelodeon”. Ah, what a burn! 🤣

[@CastellonZamora]

Back then there used to be moving picture showings for just 5 cents, a nickel. That's how the word "Nickelodeon" came to be. I also enjoyed the various digs at Netflix 💀😭

[@kolinneangelapatayan5645]

"In all honesty, I prefer long-form television to the movies. It's so much more convenient to consume entertainment from the comfort of your own home."

[@kolinneangelapatayan5645]

I also laughed at that "online joke" in the second episode in Season 1. "I didn't realize the sand went so quickly. I bought it online. You're gonna need to flip it a couple of times."

[@felicRed]

I really like how in how I met your mother he says he hates when people use the word literally wrong and then in series of unfortunate events he always uses it wrong.

[@MusicBankTv]

Neil is an amazing actor.

[@catefreedman8999]

[@kolinneangelapatayan5645]

[@ameliaphil8647]

It’s weird I can only see him as count Olaf now, I can only think that it’s count Olaf pretending to be Neil.

[@victoriaodegaard1]

amelia phillips he is count Olaf. Did you not see the tattoo. He lied about just getting it to try and fool us 😂

[@amxranthine2766]

I can't unsee him as Barney Stinson

[@rebeccadejong3018]

I see him as count Olaf and barney its confusing

Barney?

[@MariaLuisa-vv4ug]

A Series of Unfortunate Events was very satisfying, and all things considered a fairly good adaptation as well as a good show for people who havent read the books

[@SARCOSISARCOSA]

Incredible, outstanding, breathtaking performance as Olaf in all three seasons but especially in this one. His last scene alone should be award winning.

[@orph11c]

Best tattoo ever. Can’t believe he actually got it!

Lemony Snickets is seriously one of the best series of all time. So well done and an amazing cast. The Beudelaires were great and Count Olaf went from despicable to relatable to almost likable. I don’t think there’ll ever be another show quite like it. It’s up there with Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, NPH should be very proud.
