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!

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 was hesitant to start this show but i am SOO glad i did, honestly i would put in the top ten best shows ever. Nathan Fielder is a comedy genius who went to business school and got really good grades, his personality carries this show. Nathan for You is one of the few shows i could constantly watch and not need a break. it is not only Hilarious, but extremely interesting how "normal" people react to these crazy circumstances that Nathan puts in front of them. I also believe the season 4 finale "Finding Frances" has to be one of the greatest episodes of any show ever, and i would pay an endless amount of money for season 5

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