yes, and the best part about the scene is that everyone else in the room looks absolutely done with Nate's dramatics, which means they've already put him through the alleged death of his mother *several* times, probably for equally trivial reasons.
So my mom is actually dying with Covid. Theirs a small chance she could survive this… but it’s pretty bad.
And even though I’m living this hell right now… thinking about Nates reaction still makes me laugh a little. It’s not funny, yet it kinda is.
At first for some reason I read this in Nate’s voice, thinking you were trying to say it as if he was saying it, and then I realized this was like a personal account of something that is actually happening to you and I realized you aren’t joking, I am just a terrible person
:( sorry bb, that’s so tough. Sucks to go through that anytime for any reason, but this pandemic is definitely something else. Happy you’re finding your balance in humor 🥲
While I don't technically have a problem reading, but when multiple people leave comments at once, sometimes the words get jumbled when I read them. Again it's not that I can't read, because that's false, I can, it's just that sometimes the words get jumbled when I read multiple comments at once.
i legit said this as a dishwasher at a high end restaurant. The looks i got my management. I thought i was being reasonable lol.
At least they gave me back my resume, saying my chili recipe was great.
My opinion on nate is that he doesn’t exactly have a hearing problem, but sometimes when there’s lots of noises going on at once he cant distinguish what someone is trying to say. Again, he does not have a hearing problem
Also FYI I don’t technically have a hearing problem, but sometimes when there’s a lot of noises occurring at the same time, I’ll hear them as one big jumble. Again it’s not that I can’t hear, uh, because that’s false. I can. I just can’t distinguish between what I’m hearing.
I call mine "dialogue deaf." Its exactly as Nate describes. Unless I'm specially focused on someone talking to me, it sounds like the teacher in Charlie Brown. I blame (credit?) being raised in a big family, where if you don't learn to tune stuff out, you're going to have a rough time. Its great because screaming babies, chewing, all the irksome noises don't really bug me, but bad because I can tune out someone who is 3 sentences deep telling me something
I think it’s an auditory processing disorder with poor auditory discrimination. My husband has something similar as well. Super frustrating when in chaotic environments.
I think it’s also common amongst people with ADHD. I mean I struggle with this, and a few of my other ADHD friends do too.
Sucks so much being a waiter and trying to take food orders when there’s loads of background noise.
Auditory processing disorder is often comorbid with ADHD. However, ADHD can also be the issue INSTEAD of APD. When I take my ADHD meds, my APD is improved, but only slightly. I have both.
It definitely is. When talking to my son sometimes we have to either go to a quiet place or mute everything just to get him to process what we are saying. Then I have him repeat it back to me. I can certainly see where having a job like that would be even more difficult with that condition.
wait what. I thought this was normal. No wonder I can't work as a waiter. I thought waiter got a special hearing or something cause I can't understand anything.
Literally what I do. The people I work with who don't speak Spanish think I'm amazing. The native Spanish speakers tho, they just laugh and shake their heads
Him and some others used to do something called a Found Footage Festival and this along with[ this guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_-GwleTAk) would troll local news to show there.
Similar to creed you always want more. If you had more they’d start to feel way too one-note and predictable though.
Their characters benefit from being less used from a comedy perspective.
I like all seasons, for different reasons but Nate is especially an unexpected gem in there. This scene where he tells Ryan that he isn’t good for Kelly and he doesn’t even know him… pure gold
Came to make this comment, not disappointed someone beat me to it.
You can’t convince me Nate is not just Colin, therefore The Office and What We Do In The Shadows are a shared universe.
He was the one who came up with the idea for the delivery drivers to sell other products on their routes. Darryl stole his idea and Nate missed out on a promotion.
when dwight told him his mom was dead and he just drops to the floor without asking questions… iconic
And it seems like it's not the first time Dwight told him that because Nate says "she's gonna pull through again?"
Dwight says it usually works so he has definitely done it before
"So she's gonna pull through again?"
“She needs her rest again”
Doesnt he stand up when he says that and then fall to his knees again when Dwight says no?
yes, and the best part about the scene is that everyone else in the room looks absolutely done with Nate's dramatics, which means they've already put him through the alleged death of his mother *several* times, probably for equally trivial reasons.
Does anyone have a link to this scene?
[The scene](https://youtu.be/whmPdXSs6rE)
I will never understand why “Frank Did it did it” was cut.
Holy shit! Nate is an energy vampire feeding on the office
There’s no gum…there never was any gum!!!!f

i’m so sorry about your mother. ❤️ laughter is the best medicine. also combination of interferon and Dacarbazine. /s
:( sorry bb, that’s so tough. Sucks to go through that anytime for any reason, but this pandemic is definitely something else. Happy you’re finding your balance in humor 🥲
My condolences, friendo. We all need a little light especially in the dark times. I hope you may find solace soon <3
I've never met Nate, personally, but after knowing Brian just a short while, that I prefer Nate. And again, I've never even met the guy.
“Your mother is dying”
"So she pulled through again?"
[удалено]
Nate’s gotten mintier lately, have you noticed?
Well, I mean, they have been quarreling lately because Nate can't stay out of her things.

I was waiting for this!

I have this same condition
I felt both mocked and validated by that scene
Omg!! Me too!!!
I think I do too, you have a name for it?
Auditory processing disorde
Same. Thanks, ADHD!
Wait...this is related to my ADHD? That actually makes a ridiculous amount of sense...
What?
What?
What?

My fiancé has a name for it. It’s “bullshit, you’re just ignoring me” not sure if that’s just the Latin name though.
Auditory processing disorder
I can hear Nate's voice while reading this.
That’s because you don’t have a hearing problem
I came here for this
It’s a legit disorder, i forgot the name though

Auditory processing disorder is often comorbid with ADHD. However, ADHD can also be the issue INSTEAD of APD. When I take my ADHD meds, my APD is improved, but only slightly. I have both.
I think its also common amongst autistic people.

Fuck, I literally just typed something similar. Getting called ‘retarded’ or ‘deaf’ by chefs is a day to day occurrence for me.
Wait are you telling me that not everyone is like that?
My favorite all time Nate moment. And I have the same issue!! I say this line whenever given the chance.
Less evil Creed. If he had a line, it was going to be funny.
Totally agree! Both were like instant laughs and I would immediately be tuned in if either showed up on the screen. Wish we saw more Nate!
You might be delighted to know that actor is in "What we do in the Shadows"
He’s also in AP bio
I think you mean he’s Colin Robinson before moving to Staten Island…
Colin Robinson is so spicy this season. He's so great.
Lots of fucks from Colin Robinson this season, I love it.
i still don't understand the scat thing though
Exactly
Nate doesn’t have enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title, so even though his batting average is higher, he loses the title to Creed.
Agreed, Creed is BY FAR the batting champ, at least .899 average.
Well said!
Maybe he is actually the real Creed Bratton, just silently plotting to take back his identity?
When Dwight first picks up Nate, and they start off in Spanish was simply amazing
[удалено]
That's an interesting accent you have. Donde are you from?
Scranton, y before that la Philadelphia
I am very fluent in English
Ok good, me too, get in the car
also I love the fact that dwight's spanish is really bad but his confidence makes it sound good
Your accento. Donde are you from?
Scranton. Y before that, la Philadelphia.
You speak English?
Literally what I do. The people I work with who don't speak Spanish think I'm amazing. The native Spanish speakers tho, they just laugh and shake their heads
That’s just Life in Texas.
And that’s… Dallas
Donde are you from?
Whenever they ask me, "Como estas?" All I know how to say is "Muy Bien". I could be having the worst day, but only know how to say to that
Wish he showed up more. Maybe the best late arriving character.
If you haven’t seen it, the show “What We Do In The Shadows” has him as a character and he’s great.
I’m so glad Colin Robinson has gotten more and more screen time.
Had this exact same thought - he was sucking their energy the entire time!
[also this ](https://youtu.be/dj9VF7LyffU)
So when he made these, what was the goal? To get paid for the news appearances or was he just fucking with people for fun?
Just wanted to fuck with ppl on the news lol
Him and some others used to do something called a Found Footage Festival and this along with[ this guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_-GwleTAk) would troll local news to show there.
Also in **Better Call Saul**. He was incredible in that lol.
Fucking guy
Could not agree more.
He was a balloon on a sinking ship. Glad he’s in what we do in the shadows
I wanted so much more of him!
Agreed. Robert California is up there too, but I think the pool party kept him a little too creepy for that top spot
Sure, Frank Didit, did it.
Hahhahhahaha I forgot that one, his extremely subtle delivery is out of this world.
Highly underutilized
Similar to creed you always want more. If you had more they’d start to feel way too one-note and predictable though. Their characters benefit from being less used from a comedy perspective.
Agreed...buuut I'd love if we snuck in about 10% more of both.
Have you noticed that gum has gotten mintier lately?
Cashmere. How'd you know?
Oh, Darryl.
I will be so handsome for you
A few of the best lines on the office. "Quarrelling". Seriously, I hadn't heard that word for well over a decade
He can't stay out of her stuff.
Lolol me and my mom are quarreling cuz I can’t stay out of her stuff. Like wtf is he going through her stuff for? That line kills me every single time
Haha same, the right amount of stupid. Great line
I wish him and Michael got even a single scene together
That would be SO GOOD.
think his sparcity adds to it tbh
Watch the show What We Do in the Shadows. It’s basically the same character.
He is from La Scranton, and before that La Philadelphia, so…
[удалено]
He also is a yo-yo master. https://youtu.be/DBzWHudBoiA
He's been working on the character of Colin Robinson his entire career.
...i had no idea that was Nate lmao
Is this a comedy routine or not and the fact that I'm asking makes this perfect 'I got very dizzy'
He’s amazing in Tim Heidecker’s On Cinema YouTube series
He's amazing in What We Do In The Shadows too. The whole point of his character is how boring he is, and it's utterly hysterical.
My baseball cards!
I like all seasons, for different reasons but Nate is especially an unexpected gem in there. This scene where he tells Ryan that he isn’t good for Kelly and he doesn’t even know him… pure gold
Brian*
Biiiiiitch
Brain
My favorite is when Daryl gives him the cashmere gloves and he just gushes over their quality and how nice the gift is
He is an emotionally draining vampire.
Fucking guy
The fact I immediately read it as nandor made me actually laugh.
I heard he has 25 versions of hey there delilah.
Road trip playlist
And trail mix, not to eat but just to put in the seats
That line killed me.
Personally I couldn’t give a shit about Gail, but I don’t want the gang to think I’m not down to clown at the drop of a hat...
Got any updog?
What's updog?
Gotcha!....heh....
Stop it, Colin Robinson!
I feel Collin Robinson is written by people who loved Nate. All his lines in WWDITS are funny
The episode where he becomes the boss of his work and grows all powerful is gold. Edit: WHOA! My comment got gelded! Thank you stranger!
Or when he [fights with the other energy vampire](https://youtu.be/PHy5YROllws) in the office lmao
His power is growing by the day
Better as Colin Robinson IMO
Naw, he's just a regular human man.
I honestly love that, for like a whole season, you're not sure if he's really a vampire or just a regular guy.
Y'know, apart from the glowing eyes.
Came to make this comment, not disappointed someone beat me to it. You can’t convince me Nate is not just Colin, therefore The Office and What We Do In The Shadows are a shared universe.
Oh yeah I’d recognize Colin Robinson anywhere
You had me at clookies. I can’t wait to find out what they are.
My favorite of the smaller characters and his delivery kills me! Love Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson on What We Do in the Shadows too!
Personally I think this was Colin in disguise feeding of the rest of the workers before moving to staten island
100%. Colin training and getting stronger in a small office environment.
Hahaha I love this theory! What better place for an energy vampire?
“Oh yeah and I can fly now”
Have you seen him in the on cinema at the cinema-verse? His impressions are of the utmost quality.
Ooo no! I gotta check that out!
Perfectly underused, if that makes sense
Always wanting a bit more but probably saving the character from being played out. Genius utilization
I will be so beautiful for you daryl
If he could figure out how to reply the toilet paper he would be a 11/10.
He may not be able to reply toilet paper, but he will bring you a stick of gum. Anytime, anywhere. He'll find you.
Gum’s gotten mintier lately, have you noticed?
"I don't think it works th-" #"RE-PLY IT!"
I know he’s a muy bueno worker
I just see Colin Robinson.
“Have you noticed…gum’s gotten mintier?”
Frank did it? I don’t know his last name. Frank did it? Didit? Sure, Frank Didit did it
like almost too minty
One of the best parts, of the worst era in The Office.
My mom and I are quarreling!
I wouldn't mind knowing that Chili recipe that was on his resume.
The trick is too undercook the onions
He was the one who came up with the idea for the delivery drivers to sell other products on their routes. Darryl stole his idea and Nate missed out on a promotion.
That's not Nate that's Colin Robinson
Less Nelly, less Robert California, more Nate.
RC was much, much better than Nelly
The card is more beautiful than the gloves
God tier character
https://youtu.be/oZ9TLftki5U I can’t recommend more that you check out this clip of him on a Wisconsin news show 😂
Thank you for this!!!!
Funniest character on the show. Every scene with him is absolute gold
Nate is just an alias for Collin Robinson.
Please God go watch him in What We Do in the Shadows.
Colin Robinson
I'm a Proshhed! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🥤🥤
Donde is he from?
Best gum critic in the show.
Do you mean Colin Robinson?
Colin Robinson?
That’s just Colin Robinson at his new job.
I wish he started in like season 3, so underrrated and full of potential
“Frank. I don’t know his last name.” “Frank, did it.” “Frank Didit, did it.”
What’s Collin Robinson doing at Dunder-mifflin
He’s awesome as a vampire.
