I lost it at this scene. NPH, you fucking awesome git!
MarkWhoGivesaFukFrom93Tv
Did you also notice that in the last episode characters kept "accidentally" saying end of the season? Fuller House also did this

I feel like one of a small number who didn't like the show. NPH was a fucking delight though.
branamic000
I'd like to see if anyone DIDNT use his voice when reading this
porygon17
What season is this?
dizzyturtle
There is only one season so far.
SeenTheWolf
Severely enjoyed this show, was sceptical of NPH as Count Olaf at first, but loved every minute of his performance when I actually watched.
whiskeyandcigarettes
This is a really great series. It's quite an accurate portrayal of the books, which are fantastic as well.
GlassTurtle
"I already know... the language I'm speaking right now" check to see it's available in 7 languages
cliffhero
I didn't catch that one!
FinallyRElephant
Couldn't get into the books, thought the movie was trash along with everyone else, and I think the show is pretty boring. A bunch of nothing
PseudoSapient
Well, you seem to have entirely different tastes. Enjoy them instead, or are you wanting discourse?
Just wanted to share my thoughts
Thatllbuffrightout
I lol'd when I saw this in the comfort of my own home
Nilsson310
My name is not anything but stephano.
A yes Stefano. That is definitely not Count Olaf.
CoolMoses
Who is a completely different person than Captain Sham. Who is also not Count Olaf.

"Alright children it's the end of the season....err semester" my favourite 4th wall break in this show

A Series of Unfortunate Events. New Netflix show
Dot dot dot
jasta6
Weren't there at least two other Netflix-related 4th wall breaks?
There were several, and not just on Series of Unfortunate Events. Fuller House has similar nods
NoodleyLove
As someone who hasn't read the books, I enjoyed both the film and the show. Though I liked Jim Carrey more than NPH. NPH seemed too NPH-ey.
stusauce
I literally just watched this episode yesterday with my kids!
flyboy08
hes so good at playing Olaf
TheLords
You're right. I always have pictured Steven ogg though as a good standin.
TheodoreBuckland
But that's not Olaf, that's Stephano.
CastleRockDOR
You see Count Olaf has one long eyebrow and no beard. That man has one long beard and no eyebrow.

Did other people not like nph as Olaf or was it just me?
thisaintspinalsurgery
I thought he didn't fit the role. He's supposed to be an old guy but his voice didn't fit. Didn't buy it. It kind of killed the show for me
Olaf in the book is described as having a wheezy voice
SarcasticTacos
But that's not Olaf, it's Stephano.
Oh, you!
traderbill88
In fuller house they did something like this. As well as some funny digs to the twins
LemonyVengeance
Jody sweetin's twins? more like fuller BLOUSE, am I right? OH!! the Olson sisters!
No idea why somebody downvoted you for saying something true
It was probably one of the twins
guardian19d
Watched the whole season in one sitting. In the comfort of my own home. Was not disappointed.
BewareZeBear
No ragerts
Spacemayo
But would you suggest to look away or actually watch it? The theme song tells me to look away so idk.
Chrichelle
It was so incredible and whimsical, I was pulled in right away, I was hoping for some show or movie of the books since I first read them
aleister94
Well I mean, until that part
Reptarrrr
Also watched it all at once. It was fantastic to me. So much better than the movie imo. The theme is always in my head though.
CommanderCharmander
Look away, look away
IUpvoteCommentsMoreThanImages
Dude. Second to last episode took us for a RIDE, am I right?
Ionlycommentfinggold
I felt hurt, like what the fuck. I don't need additional feels.
We got played so hard.
justfuckoffwithyourshitrightnow
I loved these books as a kid, but they fucked that movie up so bad. I loved this show tho, thank God for Long-Form Television.
TotallyOriginalName
I feel like this scene was a low-key insult to the movie that was made as well.
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
While I feel the movie could've been better, I still liked it and I loved Jim Carry as Count Olaf. NPH is pretty great too
EmiBunny0615
I love the attention to detail in it and parts of the script come straight from the books
toystory2wasok4
I thought the movie was okay. Not great but it was watchable.
AvengeTheCompanionCube
We wouldn't get along, I thought the film was good while I find the Netflix series to be absolute garbage.
Jessicm4
To me I just saw Barney screwing around all the time. He couldn't get a good voice like Jim Carey did.
notjeffreydahmer
I was actually really glad he didn't try to do a super fake voice. Makes it better.
I'm not sure he has the actual ability to. I was super aware it was him the whole time. I'm but trying to insult him just what I think.
I liked the movie but I didn't read the books so I don't know what they did wrong
TheGovernor2
I noticed that all the people that are nice the the Baudelaire's is black, Mr Po, Monty and Josephine. It's on of the things you can't unsee
SethBalmore
Charles?
Haven't met a Charles yet
Sorry, thought you were through the first season. He's in the last two episodes, played by Rhys Darby.
I've seen him now, finished season one, so sad there's not more seasons
hugh705
Monty isn't black and they never mention skin color in the books.
steviEa
I loved Jim Carrey in the movie, but putting everything in one film was too much to ask
birdman24
Same mistake with Percy Jackson
TheGuyWithTheDragonTattoo
They didn't even get everything. They stopped after book 3 or 4. but left out a lot of those books as well
iamireland
They didn't, they put 3 books into one movie, it was a perfect 3-act play.
tormundfuckinggiantsbane
Yea, they skipped out on soooo much
t33kay
I loved the movie, I thought it was seriously underrated!
dangerousDoc
The acting was okay but they needed to make it into a series not a single movie
realGeorgelucas
I loved it too! Meryl Streep is excellent in it, and so is Jim Carey, he and NPH are two very different takes on the character, both good.
Kowabungo
The movie was fantastic if you separate it from the books. I loved both the film and the books. I find that readers tend to be pretty...
...elitist when it comes to stories that are adapted. They call the film shit even though on its own merits it's super fucking great.
Alozar
I've read all the books. I thought the movie was great.
It was shit. Especially disappointing as a kid who read all the books that they tried to cram in one movie.
burntavocadotoast
Well they only tried to cram the first three into one movie. Still not the best film though.
metalchef72
That's exactly how I felt about it too. Kind of a good thing about TV shows becoming so popular is it's a better way to bring books to life.
Rickeno
I adored the books, and they fucked up the tone. I have no idea how they'll even do the last two books.
THANK YOU!! I completely agree with you! It should be more serious, and dark. They tried to make it too comical in my opinion.
the humor was in line with the book, it was just when it NEEDED to be serious, it kind of lost it's nerve. Aunt Josephine - Worst actress
The tone is a tad off, I'll admit. It was a fun watch though, and nice to know hollywood hasn't forgotten the series.
it was definitely very entertaining, and I don't hate it at all, just felt like it was missing a few things.
SexualHerassment
How not? I don't think the parents are the boldalare's. I think its the kids from the other home
well, that is clearly stated in the 7th episode when the parents arrive home to the Quagmire triplets.
Different people werent they?
I just mean that the last couple books are really dark, and many characters die in rather sad ways.
meh, they did say it was dard
but, the show isn't. that's what I mean by the tone being off.
KunFayyaKun
Jim Carrey was great as Olaf, but the whole movie sucked overall. The series is kind of the opposite. Great, but a mediocre Olaf.
AssGlanimals
I agree to an extent. Jim Carrey played the book Olaf spot-on, but I like NPH's take on the character.
Hooooooo
I felt like NPH is playing Jim Carey playing Olaf.
I think what you're seeing is where they both coincide with the book but I won't completely discredit what you're saying.
TortillaThaHun
I'm enjoying the show, but I'm still iffy about NPH as Olaf. He has his moments, but it's mostly hard to be intimidating when the man's 1/2
only 3 inches taller than the kids. 2/ê
DreadPirateWestley
I loved the books but could not stand the new show. I thought NPH was a terrible Olaf in part because of cheesy scenes like this.
GreenFox
NPH didn't write these cheesy scenes...
I stopped watching it because I hate nph as Olaf as well, pretty bummed about it.
Hey, to each his/her own, I suppose. I thought the cheesiness was intentional and added to the charm.
I agree but the books are so delightfully dark. To me the show feels dumbed-down & not nearly grim enough, often because of Olaf's portrayal
I would agree with that, perhaps it's just nostalgia that makes me like it so much.
I think my nostalgia does the opposite. I just have to recognize the show and books are two separate things & enjoy the show for what it is.
philosofox
Not to but in, but I think the show got to a dark place in a diff way. in the books snicket plays with words more. In the show they use-
visual stuff more. I actually liked that about the show, it doesn't state every minor thing (despite the narration over)
TheHuntedSnark
Is that Neil Patrick Harris?
Gismotherogue
Yeah too bad they stripped him of his medals, at least he got to go to the moon though.
DiddleMeThis72
No this is Patrick
Vandaii
No, it's Count Olaf! How can any of you not see this?!
sonoshitthereiwas
That's clearly not Count Olaf, he doesn't even have the tattoo!

Yes. And he is brilliant in this role.
unclefisty
No you're wrong, that's clearly Stephano.
Has he ever been anything but?
Deadpoolio7
CometHorsemen
No, that's Doogie Howser today. Feel old yet?
Doogie who?
Who is that child?
Pattosaurus20xx
No, that's Stephano. Neil Patrick Harris is a slim blond haired man, whereas Stephano is clearly bald and has a long gray beard.
