Jon Snow: What "Nothing" Really Means
[Flow-Bear]
Oh man. This is brilliant. Nerdwriter1 is brilliant. Seinfeld is brilliant. BOTH ARE SO BRILLIANT UGH
I don't know why but your head reminds me of a horse…
P.S. BIG FAN OF THE CHANNEL!!
This would make Larry and Jerry proud
Nothing, or daily life.
I was just rewatching the Soup Nazi ep…
It’s remarkable how many catch phrases came from this show and became a part of our collective vocabulary
Nerdwriter has lost its shine, this video is a rip off of After Hours episode on the channel Cracked. Disappointed.

One of the best channels!
And two and a half men is the exact opposite.
This really reminds me of the creative nothing, an attempt at explaining identity as unique- you are not nothing in the sense of an absense, but nothing in the sense that no term, no idea, no perspective can capture you in totality- for you have no totality, no absolute truth. You are ever changing- dynamic- unique. There's a relationship between this style of writing and this form of identity.
My favorite book about nothing is Cannery Row, which IMO is Steinbeck's best book.

Please do always sunny in Philadelphia!
Amazing channel !!!!
I mean, i'm with you on this, but you talk about genre-bending sit coms and you don't mention MASH? They were the first to do so many experimental episodes, like found footage, one-ep-is-a-year, dreams to explore the character's deep psyche, lower decks, various creative bottle eps, "the couch" as the set center, and the family is friends in the early 70s
Pretty, pretty, preteeeee good.
Which are the funniest tv series of all time? Seinfeld, Curb your enthusiasm and It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Why? They are all shows about nothing
I'm out.
Great video! I'm an actor and rely a lot on my instincts…Some of which are definitely influenced by this style of comedy. But although I understand how to play it, I struggle to articulate it for others. You have a lifelong subscriber in me!

Lucky Star is the anime about nothing, and definitely worth watching.
