Awesome Nathan Barnatt

We’ve been featuring Nathan Barnatt on The Awesomer for over a decade. Inside a Mind digs into the story of the multi-talented actor who has been entertaining us for years with his dance moves, comedy, commercials, and filmmaking. Along the way, Nathan talks about the ups and downs of being “internet famous.”

“Dad is feeling oh so good, with Walker Texas on the tube.” Actor, stuntman, and dancer Nathan Barnatt takes an hour out of his busy day to entertain us, as his character, “Dad” turns in his best moves, accompanied by the appropriate track Dad Feels.

Nathan Barnatt is best known for his goofy characters, dance moves, and commercials. Now he’s completed a 22-minute labor of love about the tenuous relationship between a bail bondsman and a criminal. If it looks familiar, that’s because it expands on this music video.

Longtime friend of The Awesomer, the multitalented Nathan Barnatt is working on this short about a bounty hunter and a prisoner who end up stranded in the desert, and must find a middle ground to get out of their predicament. Show your support with a pledge on Kickstarter.

Nathan Barnatt directed and stars in this music video which features not only one of our favorite cars ever, but turned us on to The Midnight, a fantastic LA band that blends ’80s synthwave with modern alt-pop sensibilities. See how Nathan shot the video here.

The multitalented Nathan Barnatt went and saw Mad Max: Fury Road, and decided to post a video review of the film. But unlike other critics, he kept his description short and to the point. And we couldn’t agree more with his assessment.

Our old pal Nathan Barnatt dances his ass off in this previously-unreleased video, where he busts a move as Sonic the Hedgehog’s archnemesis, Dr. Robotnik. We were waiting for the part where Sonic jumps on Eggman’s head, but it never came.

Nathan Barnatt and Lindsay Ames take on the annoying trend of ‘booty shakin’ and twerking videos with their own unique spin on the genre. We’re not expecting Miley Cyrus to pick up on this one, but you never know.

Nathan Barnatt bears more than a passing resemblance to Grand Theft Auto V’s scuzzbag protagonist Trevor, so he decided to dump a “dead body” and see how people react. Props to Graham Mackie for playing the dead guy.

Nathan Barnatt dusts off the skeleton in his closet and does a little Halloween dance that starts out with his usual liveliness, but gets a little creepy in the middle. The track is from Ryan Gosling & Zack Shields’ Dead Man’s Bones.

We dare you not to crack at least a little smile as Nathan Barnatt cranks out some more of his silly dance moves while dressed as everyone’s favorite pixelated plumber. Stick around long enough and he might even get his Princess.

Nathan Barnatt’s latest alter ego shows off his mad, bad gymnastic skills in this montage of failed video submissions to MTV back in the 1990s. Nice muscle tees there, Newlin.

Remember Nathan Barnatt’s classic dance routine, set to Madeon’s unstoppable Pop Culture? Well, his pal Lindsay Ames decided to recreate the dance and we have to say she nailed it.

Nathan Barnatt’s dancing fool shows up at an audition for a Kimberly Cole music video, and busts out some serious moves. Honestly, this is so much better than Dancing with the Stars.

Nathan Barnatt’s alter-ego Keith Apicary can’t stand pretty boy pro-wrestler Dolph Ziggler. Keith’s got the skills, and is ready to take him on. He won World Rumble 13 times (on Sega Genesis) after all.

Nathan Barnatt wows us with his precision acrobatic control and flexibility while showing us the coolest way to get into a car in his latest “Vince Diesel”-inspired video.

Nathan Barnatt whips out more of his sublime dance moves in this goofy music video for Yelle’s Comme Un Enfant. If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, you should double-check for a pulse.

Planking is so 2011. Get into the latest craze – “going ostrich”, courtesy of the insane minds of Nathan Barnatt, Russel Ford and FantomenK. We can’t wait to see some celebs try this.
