Nathan Fielder is a comedian taken to the next level. His
show Nathan for You follows him as he tries to help individuals create
successful businesses. The catch is that his ideas are actually ridiculous, but
the best part is; they are just so ridiculous, they sometimes make an impact.
Nathan for
You is set up like a reality show, Nathan himself is the only actor involved,
and the businesses that he features are all real. The ideas that he has span
from making a haunted house so scary that the customers would sue the company,
to charging people a dollar for gas after a rebate that can only be claimed at
the top of a large mountain. His ideas show just how hilarious and brilliant
Nathan is. More than not, the companies he tries to help are reluctant to try his
ideas, but they always go along with it in the end.
One of the ways in which Nathan
translates even more comedy into this show is through his personality; he is a
scrawny, awkward, and nerdy guy, which makes his humor all the more appealing.
Beyond simply being funny, his show makes a statement of how ridiculous certain
aspects of our society are. There is one episode where Nathan goes as far as
creating an entire fake reality dating show parodying the bachelor that
everyone down to the host thinks is real. In this episode he “tries to find
love and gain confidence,” but in the end, shows how people will do anything
just to get on television.
