I'm wondering the same thing. The guy just hits the gas and takes off! What the freak!

Man, did ANYBODY read the video description?

We didnt have to pay for anything because I stayed in character the whole time and everyone felt awkward and bad for me. I did clean everything up though.

Sorry, it's funny but also inconsiderate in some of the scenes. I'm not digging how you wrecked stuff.

I don't even find it funny :( I know some people are at least a bit sadistic and find it funny when random stuff gets wrecked or someone gets hurt (typical situation, someone falls over and people laugh at it), I somehow don't.

I have the same complaint about much of the stuff Remi Gaillard pulls off, with the difference that with Remi MOST of his stuff is like that :( (but fortunately not all of it).

I prefer when Nathan does videos like his dancing stuff, which is silly and no innocent bystanders get harmed financially or otherwise. Fortunately Nathan typically doesn't really wreck stuff!

Nathan remained in character the entire time and did go back to clean up what he could, he seems like the nicest guy who never means to cause too much harm :wink:

"What he could..."

Whose toilets were those? If they were for sale, they are wasted stock now. That's a good bit of loss.

His regular video game review videos are great. I like those.

I don't think a bunch of toilets on someone's front curb were for sale. If someone was going to sell those while leaving them out there, they deserve anything that happened to them.

They were probably leaving them out for the garbage truck.

Remi is certainly much, much worse than Nathan in this aspect, but I still thought I should express my view. Just off the top of my head, Remi pushed someone into a pond (while dressed up as a kanguru), and was responsible for TOTALLY trashing a store of party supplies (the joke was that he phoned them asking if "that was a store for parties" before going there with loads of people and partying out inside it). That is pretty terrible (although I think he paid for the damages in the store - I hope he did - I'm fairly certain he just ran away so did not cover for any damages of the golfer that he pushed into water imagine e.g. the golfer had a smartphone).

I think that I am in the minority in not liking that kind of "sadistic" humor. I was once in a theater and there was a scene in a movie. There was this lady that was anonymously tormenting her ex (which had broke-off with her). The dude was basically already physically hurt due to past shenanigans and somehow was made to run into a pillar hitting it with his face (both arms in cast). That made everyone laugh except me.

Anyway, it may be a significant minority of people not liking that kind of stuff and apparently more people like Nathan's other type of stuff so I think there is hope that he sticks more to those kinds of harmless funny videos. Go look at the comments on his dance videos, I think those are pretty much universally liked :)

Another example is when he does stuff to get the reaction of authorities (like in the airport or interrupting talks and conferences and such). I still find that funny, even though I still cringe a bit thinking he can get into real trouble one of these days, it is basically only him that will get into trouble and he knows the risks. So I can laugh at some of that kind of stuff. It is when innocent bystanders get affected that I think it sucks and can not laugh at it.
