The Man You've Seen But Never Heard Of - Inside A Mind

[@Charriii5]

I met Keith Apicary at a convention years ago, not really knowing who he or Nathan Barnatt were. He was a guest at the convention, and my friend and I were just walking around, having a conversation. Out of nowhere, he pops his head out from the curtain from where his booth was and just joins in on the conversation, asks us if we want a photo, and takes one with us. I always found it awesome that he came to us, in character, really showing the kind of sweet and professional person Nathan is. Would love to meet him again someday!

For those wondering why his uploads on his main channel seemed to be getting ignored. It sounds a lot like the algorithm shadow-banned him starting in 2014. This means that your uploads will never be recommended, and no one will see notifications for them -- not even your subs. It's one of the most weirdly Orwellian things that YT does. You can be shadowbanned for any number of reasons too. If the AI finds something "questionable' about your content, that can be enough, and you'll be shadowbanned without YT ever telling you.

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

Love this guy. He's got the same fire as Charles Bukowski. He's not in it for fame or anything, he just wants to create his art, he does need to make a living, but he will create things if they make him money or if that costs him money. If everyone was like that, the World would look a lot better.

[@notsure6222]

The "No bones" clip was my introduction to him years ago. I stopped seeing new stuff of his as well. It makes me happy that hes doing good now.

[@striderreborn1467]

I often describe him to people as the "Borat of the Internet" for doing crazy outrageous shit in character.

[@meilikino]

Half expected Nathan to act like Dad wasn’t even his own work when he talked about it

[@mythosinmedia]

Nathan (and Dad) is one of those extremely hardworking KZbinrs that deserves all the success in the universe

[@IAmAndrew1]

I'm just so happy that Nathan is still here making fantastic content more than 15 years after he started. Also idk about anyone else, but his Neo Geo song has been stuck in my head for over a decade.... Thanks for that, Keith!

[@MissJukeBox8]

For me its that song and the Dreamcast 2 song

[@SHallAdiag]

OH MY GOD! This is the documentary I've waited forever to see. His dedication is so next level. I've never seen someone stay in character like this. And the dude, I don't know if he's fearless or powers through his fears but whichever it is it's amazing.

[@arknark]

It's crazy when you learn about what your Dad was doing before he was your Dad. We got some catching up to do

[@MiaogisTeas]

Lovely! You were so nice to Dad, thank you!

[@thk_anh]

Big brands really have no shame, Nathan is a great creator and one of his character and series, Dad is really interesting, in-depth and is getting more popular (Matpat has made a video on it). Production quality is super nice so check it out. He sounds very genuine and I love how he is super into his characters.

[@frankthespank]

Why hasn’t SNL picked him up yet? He’d actually make SNL funny again.

[@rosechuma2006]

That is a great point, he was made for SNL

[@TheEudaemonicPlague]

Nothing can save SNL. SNL went to shit when the original cast left, and that was over forty years ago. A very few excellent people have been on there now and again, but those first five years were IT. How it continues to be on the air, is a complete mystery to me.

[@frankthespank]

@@TheEudaemonicPlague eh..... can’t disagree with you too much on that. SNL has had its moments but yeah, it’s pretty bad. I’d love to see this dude on TV or on SOMETHING that paid him for his talent.

I immediately went to look for that AVGN video because I remembered the big bald head and goofy face, thinking "I know I've seen this guy!" The title of this video isn't wrong because there's like three or four things I remember him from but didn't know who he was.

Yup! I specifically remember him from that particular episode

This was a great little look into Nathan's history. He def deserves more. He's the Dwayne Johnson on YT, because he's a born entertainer that really takes the time to make his fans smile. Never met a nicer, more fun guy to hang out with at conventions. #TMG #TooManyGames #NerdSurge

[@twizz420]

Dwayne Johnson is not a born entertainer lmfao

[@realtalk6195]

If your content's being stolen by scumbags, the least you can do is add watermarks to your videos going forward. There's just small things he could do but didn't. Adding your name, and social media and YT links would have gotten more people to look him up and also dissuaded some of those thefts.
