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.
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!

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 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!!!
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.
