Matthew Vallin I cried and my face hurt from laughing. The extent that he takes things and the commitment he has to his ridiculous ideas is amazing. I really hope that he'll be able to continue with the show, but people will probably catch on... I hope not, but all good things must come to an end.This is a hidden gem that gets overlooked. It has an 8.8 rating right now, thanks to people with a dim sense of humor that gave it a 1. Would be much higher without the curmudgeons. JUST WATCH IT

Bryan Tull After some years season 4 is finally airing and I'm thrilled. I'm surprised to see so few reviews on here, but not really. A lot of brilliant shows go unseen (Wentworth is another). Anyway, not sure how to explain why you should watch this. It's funny and real, real funny you might say.

wedozeez The extent to which I watch TV is limited to the sporadic, irregular cases of those moments I go to my friend's house to watch hockey, get drunk and he throws on some show he's been watching recently and tells me how good it is.He generally watches good stuff and over there we've watched some Rick & Morty, Mr. Show, Peep Show, The IT Crowd, etc. All approved by my snobbish standards (I think most TV sucks, besides the occasional gem that pokes through the crap). Other shows I like are Breaking Bad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Boondocks, Louie... Maybe some others I can't remember now but the list is very short.After watching Nathan For You, I believe I am witnessing some new pinnacle in comic genius unfold before me in each episode. I watched four episodes at my friend's place and it puts every other comedian who has embarked on the quest of creating humor in a (pseudo) scripted environment to shame. The extent to which this show mocks the effect of modern culture and capitalism / business on individuals and their behavior, modern law, viral news and video culture and people's perception of art and culture is hard to measure or understand.There is an episode where he attempts to help a coffee shop by telling the owner he needs to spoof Starbucks. I could write a detailed explanation of why this episode is brilliant, but I would be spoiling it for you. Just please go watch this episode. It's genius.There's another episode where he advises a thrift store owner to let all of her attractive customers steal items from the store. Again, any explanation is a spoiler, it's just friggin comic gold. Go watch it.The beauty of this show is that he evokes comedy from every day, unsuspecting people. Also, while most episodes are large in scope, the whole concept is simple and basic in execution. Most of the "actors" on the show are just people he finds along the way and manipulates into carrying out his completely sarcastic and backwards concepts for success, and more often than not, they actually work, which I'm not even sure can be considered ironic. There are hilarious moments throughout each episode, all which contribute to a bigger picture of completely ludicrous outcomes in each business proposal. The awkwardness is palpable in some scenes, and it's joe schmoe on the corner creating them.In short, I think all the household names you know and love, Louis CK, Kevin Hart, comedian XYZ whoever, all pale in comparison to the scope and magnitude achieved by this show which in reality is completely basic in principle. Nathan For You is bending the rules on what you can achieve with a camera and a TV show.

jpm7676 If the purpose of a comedy show is to make you laugh, then this show is, without a doubt, the best comedy on television. I don't care who you are or where you come from, you are going to laugh uncontrollably for minutes at a time throughout almost every episode of Nathan for You. He is a genius. He is a leader. He is a revolutionary.You might be thinking -- that sounds hyperbolic. Not the case. After watching the first episode I was literally in pain from laughing so hard. My friend was on the floor, crying. This guy spent thousands of Comedy Central's dollars to fake a YouTube video where a pig rescues a goat from drowning in a pond. He actually paid a scuba diver to hold up the pig from underneath so that it looked like the pig was swimming across the pond to rescue the goat, when actually it was just flailing its legs. I hope that example illustrates my point.
