Nathan for You

Not just Hilarious Cringe Comedy but also a satirical take on the 21st Century Management Strategies and Corporate America's influence on small businesses.

The hardest I've laughed in 10 years!... Three times!

Seriously, 10 years ago I had to leave the theater so I could stop laughing, and BREATHE. This show got me to that point at least twice during the season.

Nathan's magic comes from one thing, and he does it masterfully: HE COMMITS!!!

You can't believe the things he says and does with a straight face and impeccable wit. My favorite is when he messes with the very people that we all know are just begging to be messed with (the uptight, Napoleon-complex, overly-sensitive, D-Bags!).

You're like, "I can't believe he just said that."... "I can't believe that guy doesn't hit him."

But he gets away with these things because of his unflappable commitment (people don't know what to do!).

If I was Comedy Central, I'd have a "Season" for every season. (And, I'd be in heaven)

P.S. Episode 7 of Season 1 strays from the magic formula with something completely different, but they're back too the magic in Ep. 8.

Nathan has a very clever way of manipulating people, whether it's the people he's supposedly trying to help or the customers he is trying to lure. It's not malicious, just hilarious. His ideas are ridiculous and completely irrational but the funny thing is that they work. From creating viral videos that end up on the news to creating TV shows that girls want to be in to promote themselves... it all illuminates how easily people can be suckered into things especially in the world of business and TV. If you're not amazed by the cleverness of the concepts and you don't like deadpan humor then it may not be for you. But there's nothing really like it and I hope more people find out about it because it deserves a good long run.

Nathan for You became my favorite show on television after watching just 2 episodes and I've now seen each episode 3+ times. His deadpan and awkward approach in combination with his hilarious ideas are what really makes it funny. It's a brand of humor that I've never really seen before. I'm 27 years old and it's tough to find a show that both me and my parents can enjoy. My wife, brother, and all of my friends laugh hysterically while watching it. Even the raunchy parts of the show, he somehow manages to take it and make it seem innocent. Best of all, Nathan pulls off clean humor better than any comedian I've seen in a long time. All I can say is it better get renewed!!!

Comedy Central seemed to be on a losing streak with original material. The last shows to really do it for me have been Tosh.0 and occasionally Workaholics. I had pretty high expectations for the Ben Show, but the show turned out to be a bit of a dud. Nathan For You on the other hand is hilarious, and was a complete surprise.

Nathan Fielder has a business degree... (probably an associates) and offers businesses his ideas on how to become successful. I was hooked from the very first episode I saw, where he gets a frozen yogurt place to sell poo flavored frozen yogurt. In the most recent episode I've seen, he helps a haunted attraction become world known, by trying to get someone to sue the owner for the attraction being too scary... GENIUS. Then, Nathan attempts to conquer his fear of women by creating a dating (bachelor-esque) reality show, with him as the bachelor. He spreads rumors about the good-looking host of the show amongst the women and creates awkward Michael Cera moments when he's alone with them.

The show isn't for everybody, but it's total laugh-out-loud comedy for me. If you get the chance, definitely check it out!
