Vintage Dad & Nathan Barnatt Prestory

Nathan Barnatt is the creator of the Dad character. He is a writer, director, actor, comedian, and YouTuber.

## Dad on Nathan's Channel

In November of 2017, Nathan released two videos featuring Dad. The first, Dad Feels Good, introduces the Dad character dancing, and the second, Dad Feels Good - 1 HOUR, is basically the first video but an hour long. Nathan released two more Dad videos in 2018, Dad Feels Sassy and Dad Feels Great. Dad Feels great notably introduces two new elements- Dad dancing in different locations and the appearance of an Orb.

In January 2019, Nathan released a series of strange Dad related videos. This corresponded with the creation of Dad's channel on January 5.

On February 15, Nathan released My Lawyer Made Me Say This, in which he claims that any recent Dad videos are someone deepfaking him and that he is pursuing legal action. This is the same day that Dad's first upload, Dad Uploaded, comes out.

## Nathan in Dad's Life

**Spoiler Warning!**

Act III

Cheryl saw Nathan's Dad videos in 2017 and decided to use his character to fund her research. Initially, she kidnapped Nathan and attempted to brainwash him into playing Dad for her, but his mind was apparently "too strong" for this. When this failed, she had a Client drop off Nathan in 1999 at the Old Basin when she retrieved Andan Rill. There was still a Nathan Barnatt in 2019, however, Dad claimed that his actions are irrelevant.

Nathan is likely next seen in the video Sloan Burmel, in which a man in car mistakes him for someone called "Sloan" and drives off with him. Dad later claimed that Sloan has nothing to do with Dad.

In The Last Of Him, we see that Nathan got infected by an alien fungal parasite from Andan's spacesuit when he was transported to the Old Basin. When Malvin goes to pick him up and return him to 2020, he returns infected. (It is unclear what effect this had on the Nathan seen in the Sloan Burmel video.) On gaming livestreams, Nathan starts intermittently blacking out and speaking in a guttural voice, calling himself HUMAN. In HUMAN (Video), we see that HUMAN has possessed Nathan's body and uses him to transmit itself to the True Value Girl, leaving Nathan collapsed in the street. He is last seen beginning to sit up near the end of Andan's Run.

Nathan's life returned to normal for a while, until he started watching A1Ai workout videos. Eventually, he gets sucked into his VCR, which then transfers him to another VCR within the Facility. Nathan is now trapped there. He begins making "Grave Stories" videos based on his podcast where he talks about various real life tales and conspiracies, disguising himself as "the Anonymous Host."

## Trivia

* Nathan was born at 12:22 on February 2nd in room 222 and he is the 2nd son. As such, 22 and 222 are his favorite numbers.
* He has been a vegetarian since 2002.
* He has a podcast called "Grave Stories" in which he reads real-life paranormal accounts. He says this is at least partially inspired by his time working as a gravedigger in "spooky old New England".
* Nathan has appeared on "Community", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", and "Lucifer".
* He is friends with Tom Flaherty.
* His brother, Seth Barnatt, collaborates with him frequently. He plays Durk in Dad's Life.
* According to Nila, Nathan is one of Andan Rill's previous lives, and Nathan also contains Andan's OA. This is the reason for Nathan's incredible endurance during stunts and dancing streams.
* As Dad was designed after Nathan, Dad's body occasionally updates to resolve physical differences between them. Dad feels the effects of what happens to Nathan, such as injuries or physical alterations (i.e. tattoos).
* Nathan is not drunk, he is Nathan.
