Skit-aals is......really good.

So I have been bad and haven't really blogged in awhile. A couple months ago I was sent the following video because of my love for the TMNT. Little did I know watching this video would begin my huge obsession with this guys video's.



At first I thought, is this guy for real?? I soon learned the Keith Apicary is just one of many characters that actor Nathan Barnatt portrays. After watching this video the next couple of days I scoured the internet for more of his videos. Turns out, he has lots! Keith Apicary is one of his more well known characters and he even has panels at different gaming conventions, most of which, he gets kicked out of.

One of my other favourite characters that Barnatt does is a character called Trale Lewous who loves anything candy and is especially obsessed with Skittles, or as he calls them Skit-tals.



They are stupid and silly but they make me laugh, I think what gets me most are those horrible orange shorts he wears. I was once watching a Video where Barnatt was in his Keith Apicary persona interviewing on a red carpet for a video gaming convention and Dominic Monaghan, who played my favourtie character Charlie on Lost, was walking buy and spotted Barnett. Only knowing him as his Trale Lewous character Monaghan got really excited and told him he needed to get his picture take with him because he loved his videos. The other day when I got home I started watching a new video of one of Barnatts other characters Ray Amsley, self defense expert and I couldn't believe who was quest starring in the video. Dominic Monaghan!!!! And he plays the pervert and every time he speaks I laugh, he plays it so well.



Every time he says "I have so many Perfume" I laugh, and I don't even know why.

The thing I love about Nathan Barnatt is he plays all the goofy, geeky, loserish types characters but he is so athletic and he can pull off some crazy moves and stunts. He has done a couple video's where he just dances ridiculously in random places but you can see by some of the moves he does how athletic he actually is.



Now Nathan Barnatt can't take all the credit, though he stars in most of the videos his brothers and some close friends are a big part of the production as well and you start to recognize them in different videos. One of his brothers plays the lion in the video up above and the girl appears in some of his other videos as well.

If you liked these videos there are tons more on youtube, Barnatt has his own channel.
