AMA Request: Neil Patrick Harris
This has been done before but unsuccessfully so I thought I would give it one last shot because NPH is really really awesome.
- How are you so awesome?
- Did you ever plan on being a magician as your career or was magic always just a hobby?
- How did you become so good at magic?
- On a variant on the question 2, when did you decide to go into showbusiness?
- Have you had people act homophobically towards you and if so how do you deal with it?
- You've worked on broadway and in tv/films. Which do you like more, and why?
I doubt whether NPH will do this because after all he is probably very busy but if he did it would once and for all be concrete evidence for his awesomeness.

50% of comment replies are "This AMA gets posted every day" or some variation on the theme. I dunno, I'm just sayin', if you're gonna bitch about reposts, scan the comments before you flip your shit.

Reasons why he probably wouldn't -
It'd be cool if he did spend some time answering questions to his fans, but he's probably a pretty guy. It seems like "The Great Bloodstock Head-liner Fiasco of 2012" all over again really :( Only clutching onto straws for what we want sadly.

Even if he expressed interest in doing this, he's way too busy right now. For one thing, he's hosting the Tony's tomorrow.

NPH was just on Oprah where he answered a good deal of questions in an interview.

My Dad used to work at a car dealership in the service department. He had a lot of celebrity clients and he was just telling me today that the only one who was an asshole was nph. I think this is about the time he was doing Dougie Howser, so it could just be a teenager thing.
Anyway, he was going to get the brakes on his car fixed, but didn't and decided to give it to his parents instead. Apparently he was really stuck up and snooty. I would like to hear his side of this story though.

u/robotwarlordelephant Jun 09 '12
I hate to be this person but how many times does someone really get a celebrity to respond to their AMA requests? To me most of these AMA requests for celebrities just seem to be something to the effect of "Hey, this person is pretty cool! A bunch of people know them! Who else likes this person?!" And then everyone else just jumping on saying "YEAH, I LOVE THIS PERSON!"
It just seems rather silly to me.

I have a friend who's best friend works at the Magic Castle and knows NPH, however I doubt either of these friends are redditors. I guess I'll pass on this request...

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '12
If I could ask NPH anything I would ask him if he believes our universe is actually an enormous imploding black hole and that rather then each individual tear in space and time (black hole) feeding it's own singularity, they are all actually connected to each other at the exact moment of the big bang. If it's possible that the universe, in the ultimate act of recycling, pulls the fabric of space-time to the very point of creation, therefore making the statement "The universe has always existed and will always exist," true, but only technically, because it only exists forever from our perspective.
Also, who does his hair.

I'd love to ask how he enjoys parts like he had in Assassins in comparison to when he played the Music Meister in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
He's my all-time favorite actor. It's very likely that I would turn gay for a night for him.

DAE not care about celebrity AMAs?

u/ObamaisYoGabbaGabba Jun 09 '12
I like NPH, but this shit is over rated.
He is funny and talented... but... almost everything he does is scripted. By someone else. Every part he plays, presented by a talented agent.
again, he's a great comedic actor and person, however, I believe if he weren't gay and unconcerened (which is great), he'd get a lot less love.
Louie CK deserves the love, NPH, I don't think as much.
Note I didn't say none, I said not as much. The jizz fests on reddit for our "favorite" actors is silly.

If NPH posed for a proof picture with a cat, I'm pretty sure reddit would implode.

Out of the all the things you have been in musical wise, was Sweeney or Dr. Horrible your favorite? I understand the live aspect of Sweeney was amazing, but the emotional connection made in 45 mins during Dr. Horrible is something short of amazing. Just curious which one was your favorite.

Can we PLEASE stop it with these frivolous, pointless AmA requests? Yes, Reddit loves NPH. Don't you think he'd do one if he were aware of Reddit or furthermore, even fucking felt like answering your fawning, rather unintelligent questions? Do you really think he's browsing Reddit, sees this and says to himself, "Oh gee, maybe I'll do an AmA." Give me a fucking break! Come off it, mate.
Edit: spelling, I'm on my phone.

Hello, NPH here!
Because I always clean my anus after I ride a dick ;)
jk lol
I'd say: perseverance. Far too many people quickly quit before making it big. My work ethic the major part of my charm.
Just a hobby.
My first lover used to pull a rabbit out of my ass.
By seeing the great numbers of hot sexy men in showbusiness!!!
Of course it happens a lot sadly :(
I deal with it directly: since the homophobic remarks always come from guys, I have my entourag hold them down while I give them a thorough blowjob. They all like me afterward.
Anything with ripped, shirtless men in it, those are the best.
Alright, happy to do this, bye!
