Most of us could use a good dose of comedy now and then. Not all sitcoms can successfully generate pure, unadulterated humor that resonates with the larger viewing audience, but we think that “Nathan For You” is the show that will deliver. If you think that you would benefit from some side splitting humor, then this docu-reality comedy series is something you should tune in for, and here is why we make this bold assumption.
Nathan Fielder is outrageously funny
The series follows Nathan as he approaches a variety of small business owners and offers them advice. His pearls of wisdom are always outrageous and after delivering his recommendations, Fielder leans back and watches the equally outlandish consequences as they unfold. It’s important to know that these are real business owners and not paid actors. They are not prepped for what is coming their way. The responses that you’ll see are genuine and this is what makes each interaction so funny. In addition to this, we’ll also get to see how any customers in the establishment react.
What makes Nathan Fielder so special?
Fielder is a comedian as well as a businessman. He is known for his personal and professional successes, but for the sake of the show, he will strictly stick to handing out bad advice. It’s not likely to be far-fetched, or too far over the top, because he really wants them to agree and act. He can read people, and he is a master at conversation. It will be fun just watching him work his magic. He’s genuinely offering consultations and the store owners, from what we can gather, expect to receive legitimate advice on how to gain an edge in business.
Sometimes it falls in his lap
Fielder shared some insight into how he’s made the show so hilarious. He’s thinking as he approaches a business and he feels out the tone of the situation before he goes into action. He knows that there is an element of luck involved and a bit of skill in knowing what to say, how to say it and when. Timing is everything. Occasionally, the owners will play right into his hands and present an unplanned and hilarious situation for him to exploit.
What about the victims?
Fielder and the production execs have already covered this aspect of the show. The goal is not to upset anyone or put them in a position that would be too unfair, so they are on guard against it. If it gets past the point of being funny, there is an intervention to protect the innocent, so to speak. Because the show is gaining more popularity, there is a vetting process that the business owners must go through. They only choose those who do not realize that the show is a comedy. They just believe that they’re on a reality tv show that offers free business advice. The goal of the crew is to make sure that all segments of the show are presented in good fun, and that nobody gets hurt in the process. “Nathan For You” might not be for everyone, but it certainly is worth tuning in to check it out.
