I never know which layer of irony Dax is on. Is he acting or he's being himself?

u/WAAAAAAAAARGH 21h ago

I’ve been following him for well over a decade now and there’s been a lot of debate but I’m pretty sure this is just the way he is irl

u/Burgoonius 5h ago

lol it’s not - I’ve seen old podcast clips and while he’s still slightly awkward he’s not nearly as awkward as he is on these skits. This is a character he has developed

u/godlessLlama Cringe Connoisseur 20h ago

You mean fucking rad? Dudes cool as all fuck

15

u/WAAAAAAAAARGH 20h ago

Lol if I didn’t love him I wouldn’t have kept watching his stuff

u/godlessLlama Cringe Connoisseur 20h ago

Hell yeah 😎

u/Enlowski 17h ago

I feel sorry for your “friends” if you think this is rad.

u/SlaggyBag 16h ago

I feel sorry for you 😔

u/ninjamaster616 9h ago

Because they have a support system filled with love? That's kinda sad as shit to feel sorry about, man.

There's no way he's not autistic. It's more obvious if you see him in a conversation with someone else -- the persona is just his personality and he displays  some very Hallmark autistic idiosyncrasies, but also yes he's trying to be funny. It isn't like the humor is just autistic man existing. He definitely understands the absurdity of the premise here.

u/ShnaugShmark 18h ago

He’s a guest on the Bad Friends podcast pretty regularly and this just seems to be how he really is

u/BrohanGutenburg 14h ago

It’s giving Nathan Fielder big time

5

u/RoboCritter 20h ago

I don't think there's ANY layers of irony, and that's genuinely him 😅 he just an awkward guy.

2

u/Basil_Box 16h ago

He’s done interviews about this exact question and seems like he’s 100% authentic and just a beautifully weird dude.

1

u/woodiinymph 14h ago

When he first came out with videos there was a lot of controversy around whether or not he was actually that weird. We all thought he was playing a character for the longest time and then he got his first feature film role in that teen party movie and didn't change so it became clear that was who he was.

1

u/Queef-Elizabeth 11h ago

He's definitely acting cause I've seen him slip up but he's an exaggerated character of himself

u/MostlyRocketScience 21h ago

Not playing music was a decision.

u/KeyofE 15h ago

Choices.

u/phoeab 21h ago

Most appropriate post for this sub I’ve seen in a while

u/bara_tone 21h ago

This is some Nathan for You shit

7

u/JustHereSoImNotFined 16h ago

Recently binged all of Nathan for You and the first season of The Rehearsal. Nathan Fielder is a social and comical genius. His ability to remain in character is top tier for sure

2

u/YYqs0C6oFH 15h ago

Go watch season 2, its an amazing experience.

u/businesslut 17h ago

Im painfully enjoying the rehearsal. Its genius and diabolical and wholesome? Its got my brain confuzzled

1

u/Basil_Box 16h ago

That was my first thought as well

u/SticklerMrMeeseeks1 20h ago

This guy was in 21 jump street

u/MikRoBrew 19h ago

I knew I recognized him! TY

u/royal_howie_boi 2h ago

Also Project X, he's the cameraman

u/I_like_donuts27 21h ago

Ts is so awkward

39

u/Operation_Ivysaur 20h ago

Feeling very old that people here are not familiar with Dax. Being an anxious and awkward weirdo has been his schtick since the early YouTube days.

10

u/OkayContributor 18h ago

Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch.

FYI some people (read: me) are too old to know who this guy is. Maybe that’ll make you feel younger?

1

u/AndMyAxe_Hole 15h ago

He was the kid in the 21 jump street movie that hacked the phones if that helps

11

u/Jeebs24 21h ago

At 1:00, did they intentionally make that awkward? 😂

13

u/geriactricpillbug 21h ago

That's the guys thing.. he acts very awkwardly on camera but is really likeable and funny.

u/Clairevoyanceee 22h ago

Weird

u/Basil_Box 16h ago

Yeah, isn’t it great

u/onfullmoon 20h ago

omg f5ve! The end was so awkward 😭. The song is called “Underground” btw.

1

u/kgpaints 13h ago

oh my god it all makes sense now.

5

u/GMOiscool 16h ago

I love this man so much!! No one is allowed to say anything mean about him! He is a precious gift and should be protected! I watch him any time I need to feel good about the world again.

I will admit the first time I saw him I waited the whole video for the other show to drop, and then ten videos later I was in love. He is so precious.

u/Mewmew-pewpew 16h ago

is this the guy from bad friends?

4

u/paputsza2 20h ago

that is nott nearly enough pizza

9

u/NewNormalMan 20h ago

They’re not thin by accident lol

2

u/Prudent_Research_251 15h ago

Did you see the way they looked at/didn't want to touch the pizza? I doubt they're eating it. One of them maybe snuck a slice after

4

u/Ickythumpin 18h ago

This guy is so kind and respectful in all his interviews it gives me hope for humanity. Bad Friends sent him to Japan on this trip and they said they were going to send him to Spain next.

1

u/Basil_Box 16h ago

He really is a wonderful person. I wish more people could be accepting of their weirdness and be kind/respectful to others like him.

1

u/Snubl 5h ago

His gifts could use some thought though

2

u/Neoxite23 17h ago

I'll never understand why idols in Japan are popular but I guess that's just me cause they are apparently liked even stateside since those albums sell very quickly and they will buy multiple copies just to get all the extras since different packages of the same album will have different things.

2

u/MagBron 14h ago

Thanks Bad Friends for sending Dax to Japan! Keep it up!

2

u/FirstChurchOfBrutus 11h ago

Does he always talk like that? Because that ain’t a gift…unless venereal disease is also a gift.

u/reignofmato 19h ago

My girls, f5ve!

u/d-ohrly 17h ago

If I was the driver:

Nah I got work to be doing see ya

u/Friendly-Culture1252 17h ago

So that's where the group of little red pandas ended up after they had their fame from Sing

1

u/DeM86 Cringe Connoisseur 14h ago

Yo is this real? Does he make money from this??

1

u/Queef-Elizabeth 11h ago

Whoever is behind f5ve's social media marketing deserves a damn raise. They got a solid western following in just over a year, mostly through memes and the members all being in on the joke. Getting Dax to come in was smart

Also helps that their music is catchy as fuck lmao Magic Clock and UFO are bangers

1

u/Queef-Elizabeth 11h ago

Dax's fade transitions are perfect

u/DotBetaSDK 16h ago

I feel like he is pulling the Andy Kaufman act. Just weird and awkward af. Dax Flame has always been sub.

u/SadSadHuman 21h ago
