Nathan for You

It is terribly clever and too hard to describe but I wanted to say it is real at least most of it is very real. I knew the man who claimed to have the best burger in all of los Angeles. That helped me to know it was real. There are times you will be confused. I feel like this Nathan cat jumped out of Heaven (Canada seems to be where many heavenly creatures are from). If not for comedian, Doug Stanhope recommending this while on the Joe Rogan show I never would have KNOWN about this show. I guess when you move from LA and NYC you don't see all the banners for these shows. So I just started in 2018. I'm in the middle of season 3. PLEASE never stop. Nathan, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU (he likes hearing that a lot). Perfection. The most unique comedy show in years.

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!!!

I can hardly describe what makes this show so incredible. I shall try though...

There are hundreds of serialized projects coming to TV every year... Most of them are more or less the same as the next one. Most of them just recycle the same premise, characters and dialogs used for the past 30 years. I enjoy a good whodunit as much as the next guy but I can bear that for limited amount of time, once a week. TV needs to shift, bloom, amaze and shock. Nathan tries very much to do so. And if trying isn't enough for you, I can honestly say he has succeeded...

Nathan will make you laugh, think and astonished all at once. The amount of original thought put into this is incredible. I am almost moved to tears by the effort and the pursuit of perfection. Thank you, Nathan!

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!
