Nathan for You

This is my sense of humor exactly. I love everything about this show. I was leery at first from the commercials, but after watching the first episode I could not stop laughing the whole time. Very low energy humor but just incredibly funny in the situations. The conversations are too awkward and ridiculous not to be funny. I showed it to many friends who also loved it. So far this might be the funniest new show on TV. Despite the ridiculousness, some of the ideas are actually pretty good in their own right. I think this show is pretty original, and a great parody of the business marketing TV shows. This is something I personally have been waiting for, its simple, clever, and a satirical comment about American business culture, but with genuine brilliance behind the hilarity. I think Nathan is a genius, and I really hope this show doesn't get canceled like another comment said. I would love to see it continue, but comedy central does love their one season hilarious shows. Hopefully they learn early on that this is a great one and keep it going. The world needs more Nathan.

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!

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.

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.
