Nathan For You (1 Viewer)

[Please See Mine]

Heard the creator of this show on the BS report. Prank type show where the main guy poses as a small business consultant and gets clients to agree to be on TV and then comes up with pretty much the worst possible ideas and plays them out. He is super awkward and deadpan, leading to some pretty hilarious moments, IMO. Kind of like Colbert, particularly the Better Know A District segments, which are amazing.

I'll set the DVR for this. Sold on the shoplifting clip.

I've laughed a lot more than I thought I would, but I think a lot of that is due to the fact that I have a friend who looks just like the host and has the same mannerisms.

I liked it better the first time I saw it when it was called Da Ali G Show.

 

[Please See Mine]

This guys set up a scene where it looked like a pig was saving a drowning goat at a petting zoo. He goes into the whole thing in a ton of detail on the podcast, but basically they created the video and just put it up on youtube with no publicity at all, just to see what happened. It got picked up by Gawker and was soon in written and TV news reports all over the place. They eventually revealed that it was a hoax, but it kind of makes you think about what's going on at CNN that they just take some video on youtube and make it a news story.

Ali G was hardly the first to do it.

Yeah, Tom Green had a good run interacting with regular people and acting dumb.ETA: Not saying Tom Green was the first -- probably some caveman somewhere was running this shtick back in the caves.

Happened to catch the Gas Station/Sketch Artist episode. Hilarious.

Last night's episode was

"Hi, I'm Emily! It's Nice to meet you."

"Hi, I'm Nathan."

"It's nice to meet you!!"

"Yeah."

"So exciting!"

"Yeah. It is."

"Yeah!"

"Yeah."

"This is fun!"

"Yeah."

"Um...it was so nice to meet you!!"

"Do you want to go? We can talk more inside. It was nice, um, talking."

love the goat episode, but this dude is getting me sick with his tone

Veterinary Hospital where the Craigslist sourced voice over actor gently breaks the news of a pet's passing to children via video message to ease the burden of delivering the bad news on the parents.

Great show.

DirecTV search results for "Nathan for You": no results found.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I don't think that new episodes are currently airing. Might need to go to comedy central website or something.

Possibly airing On Demand for those with cable.

Do you find this drawing funny? If you answered 'yes' then you're probably caricature artist Greg Dolan, he's the one who drew it.

 

[Soulfly3]

He did a lot of low key stuff here in Canada until he "hit it big" in the states... good for him.

he's funny as all hell. but he's sometimes TOO good at what he does.

There are moments have to look away due to the awkwardness of the situations... how he doesnt bat an eye, is beyond me

He was on the BS report back when the show debuted and IIRC he said that he has at least a mild case of Asperger's, which he uses to his advantage

 

[Soulfly3]

The caricature he draws of the muscle guy with the date rape pills at the pharmacy was absolutely brilliant

I remember almost crying when I saw that

I think he hits on this too during an episode of Nathan For You... I think.. maybe it was somewhere else

I'm not sure I can single out a just one favorite line from the show but after the huge build up for the offensiveness Claw of Shame there was an interview after and one of the kids said "I woulda been sorta offended if his pants fell down...but not that much."

I haven't seen anything this funny in long time.

I think skipping every second button on my jeans fly will save me six months over a lifetime.

nathan fielder ‏@nathanfielder 12 Oct

why don't they just put one button in the center of the fly? you really dont need a button every quarter inch to keep it together.

nathan fielder ‏@nathanfielder 12 Oct

Me neither. But, I though the whole faux "The Bachelor" skit was so funny that my next door neighbor actually knocked on my door (apartment) to tell me to pipe down from laughing so hard.

Cheapest place to buy S1 of Nathan For You right now is itunes in SD for $11.99. HD is $8 more, which is fair.

He did another prank today. Opened up a "Dumb Starbucks" store in LA. http://defamer.gawker.com/dumb-starbucks-is-a-dumb-stunt-for-a-comedy-central-tv-1520287081/@tcberman

Just started watching. This show is hilarious.

 

[Brony]

DVR ALERT! New season tonight.

DVR ALERT! New season tonight.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I'm so happy.

 

[GOB]

Anybody see this last week episode with the soccer store?

I couldnt stop laughing at the dude that Photoshopped the little kids on adult bodies.

This show is hilarious.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

It's so brilliant. I just hope they keep renewing it because NOBODY watches. Season premiere drew 230,000 viewers. That's almost cable access numbers. Last episode was up to about 400k. Ridiculous. Meanwhile, Duck Dynasty draws 10 times as many viewers. The general populace makes me sick.

 

[GOB]

Bump.

For my sake please watch this show. Tell your friends, coworkers, enemies, Ron's sex partners.

 

[Brony]

Love the close of the antique shop ep. So so awkward. Lmao

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

It is a fantastic show. Just watched the one last night with the fitness/moving company. Brilliant.

I thought the first episode this season sucked, almost gave up on it, then saw this one and got back on board.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I watched for the first time last week and loved it! I then binge-watched the rest of this season and season 2. Not sure where I can watch season 1. I'm on board too.

I've been spreading the word about this show lately. It's so good.

Comedy Central's site had all of season 1 available to stream a few weeks ago, did they remove it?

I liked the young athlete endorsements episode recently. When the one kid told Nathan that he wanted to be an astronaut and the "Astronaut" sat down with the kid, I was

Great show, one of the few i keep up with week to week. Kind of surprised he is still flying under the radar from a production perspective (e.g., no one knows who he is), but I think that's a plus. Guys like Ali G and Tom Green who had popularity surges in similar shows probably flamed out because of it, or the inability to go unrecognized in public. Hoping things hold steady for Nathan.

 

[AnonymousBob]

When that guy was aging the kids in his garage I just about lost it. That and the holocaust jackets.

 

[kutta]

Never heard of this show but it sounds like it's right up my alley. Gonna give it a look-see.

Summit Ice jackets are all the rage. Dude actually comes up with some good ideas. Dumb Starbucks was brilliant too.

http://www.summiticeapparel.com/

The quotes under the celebrities wearing the jackets in the "gallery" are hilarious.

"Knocked Up star Seth Rogen agrees that the systematic extermination of Jews in Europe was “superbad”."

I said it above but I'll say it again.I had to pause and stop laughing at the guy who photo shopped those kids on adult bodies.

That guy should probably be watched closely.

Looks like just seasons 2 and 3 now.
