Talking Classics is a mockumentary-style Web Video Series produced in the late 2000s by actor and comedian Nathan Barnatt, who portrays the character Keith Apicary.Keith Apicary is a 28-year-old gaming geek who is starring in a late '90s web documentary. Keith is an archetypical loser: balding, socially awkward, a Casanova Wannabe, and not very bright. He's a huge fan of video games, particularly more obscure ones like SNK's Neo Geo, various Sega consoles like the Genesis and Dreamcast, and Nintendo's Virtual Boy. Many of the videos are interviews with Keith as he talks about and reviews these games or consoles. They're often interspersed with scenes of his daily life, which is... interesting, to say the least.Nathan also records appearances in-character as Keith at gaming conventions such as PAX, E3, and SGC. He goofs around with his fans, pulls stunts, has awkward conversations with random people, and gets into bizarre hijinks. Not coincidentally, he has been kicked out of many conventions.The series can be watched either on Screw Attack, GameTrailers or Nathan Barnatt's YouTube channel. The series' website can be found here. | |

Bloodless Carnage: No matter what he does, Keith very rarely seems to be seriously injured by his stunts. | |

The Klutz | |
| Talking Classics (Web Video) / int_1bdbbbae | comment |
The Klutz: A lot of gags in both normal and convention videos involve Keith crashing into things or falling. In fact, the Virtual Boy video consists entirely of him crashing into things while playing the Virtual Boy in public. | |

Poe's Law | |
| Talking Classics (Web Video) / int_3950c1f0 | comment |
Poe's Law: Part of what makes the convention videos funny is seeing Keith talk to strangers who have no idea that he's just a character. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Talking Classics (Web Video) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: In order to enhance the '90s feel, every so often there are VHS lines and distortions on the screen. And of course, there's the fact that the humour is usually extremely awkward. The "modern-day" videos such as conventions and the Dolph Ziggler videos are in noticeably higher quality than the "documentary" videos. Can be explained by Keith having better recording equipment in-universe. | |

Sleepyhead | |
| Talking Classics (Web Video) / int_570be107 | comment |
Sleepyhead: Certain videos involve Keith sleeping in various (public) places. In the Super Mario Land review, the entire premise is that Keith wants to visit New York (where Mario is from in certain adaptations) to see what the big fuss is about Mario. In the end, he sleeps through his plane ride (and landing), instead ending up in France. He never notices and thinks he's in New York the whole time. | |

| Talking Classics (Web Video) / int_82a631b8 | comment |
Present-Day Past: The documentary takes place in the '90s, but that doesn't stop Keith from appearing in present-day conventions, acknowledging modern-day games during those occasions, and calling out Dolph Ziggler. Hand Waved by Nathan Barnatt, who claims that the documentary Keith and convention/real Keith are separate. | |

Naked People Are Funny: "Keith Apicary's Victory Dance" consists of Keith dancing in various public places such as malls and plazas clad only in his briefs. He somehow didn't get arrested. | |

Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: During the VGAs, Keith asks voice actress Ali Hillis for her address, and then she offhandedly mentions having a husband. After that, she pauses for a moment and looks at the camera, as if realizing what she just said. | |
