The Terrifically Terrifying Reason 'Barry' Star Bill Hader Is Trending On Twitter!
The episodes of Barry directed by Bill Hader are twisted in a way that has Twitter lighting up like a Christmas tree.
Bill Hader first made a name for himself on Saturday Night Live. He is known for his absolutely mind-blowing litany of impressions, his iconic characters (who else could make the phrase, "New York's hottest club...," so memorable?), and his non-negotiable hilarity.
Recently, he has been starring in his own HBO comedy Barry, the story of an assassin who discovers a passion for acting.
Well...we use the word "comedy," lightly.
In the most recent season of the show, Hader has personally directed some of the darkest, most twisted, most upsetting episodes, and Twitter has taken note. Hader previously warned that this season of Barry would take a dark turn, but fans of the show have been having their minds blown by the nearly horror-based implications of the series.
Once Twitter user posted:
"'Directed by Bill Hader' aka after you witnessed the most horrifying sequence of events for 30 minutes straight."
Another seconded the emotion, declaring:
"Can you believe we just watched funny man Bill Hader from SNL just play dude on the verge of death very disturbingly for thirty minutes?"
This is in reference to the most recently released episode of Barry which - you guessed it - Hader directed.
Furthermore, the brilliance of it all has many declaring that Hader is going to absolutely dominate this year's Emmy Awards.

Bill Hader once again proving that the best filmmakers are those who study the movies. He’s doing better than 90% of today’s filmmakers in just 30 minutes. Let the man direct a feature

Another Twitter user posted a different - but still wildly fascinating - story of Hader. Interviewer Chris Mandel recalled that one time he was scheduled to speak with Bill Hader, but the actor texted him saying, "Hey. It Bill. You are interviewing me in hr. Can you do it in 30 min instead?" The specific phrase, "It Bill," has the internet particularly intrigued.

Hader's inclination towards horror is fascinating considering the comedic roots of the actor's career. These inclinations, however, are STRONG. In an interview, Hader warned fans that, if they thought THIS episode was dark, it has nothing on the soon to premiere season finale.
Okay people, this is not a drill. Book your therapy session for June 13th. Bill Hader nearly broke his cast and crew with the finale. #BarryHBO #Barry https://t.co/MpA3iNbC6Q
