Nathan For You’s latest ploy to “help” a small business was to boost the profile of a maid service by using 40 maids to get the cleaning time down to 6 minutes.
Not only is watching Nathan Fielder try to wrangle an army of maids pretty great, but the guy whose house they’re cleaning is one of a kind as well. Watch it all here.

If there’s one a recurring issue that Nathan Fielder seems to have throughout hosting his show Nathan For You, it seems to be that many folks don’t like his persona very much. With this in mind, he hired an expressly diverse focus group to give him pointers on camera and make over his entire image in the hope that people will like him more.
Of course, this experiment doesn’t happen without a few Nathan’s own “obstacles”. Watch parts one and two here.
This week’s episode of Nathan For You had Nathan Fielder attempting to boost sales at a Hollywood Blvd. souvenir shop. To accomplish that, he staged a film shoot for a movie called The Web with a Johnny Depp impersonator wherein people were invited to be extras making real purchases. Fielder later found out that unless he made a real movie, he was committing fraud.
So, what he put together was this, an actual movie with the customer extras, which is completely deserving of an Emmy. Please watch all the credits
On the latest episode of Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder helps out a souvenir shop on Hollywood Blvd. boost its sales by making people think that a movie is being shot there and convincing them to actually buy gifts from that souvenir shop.
Turns out that staging a movie in order for people to buy stuff wasn’t exactly legal and Fielder had to deal with that.
Last night, Nathan For You premiered its second season and showed us all the power of a Ghost Realtor. Nathan Fielder aimed to make a realtor stand out against the competition by promising to sell houses that are free of ghastly presences.
This is simply amazing. Watch it here.
This is just a friendly neighborhood reminder that Drunk History and Nathan For You come back for their second seasons starting tonight.
More specifically, from 10PM to 11PM, you should be watching Comedy Central.
Cookies and polygraph tests are what Nathan Fielder is going to use to try to make this car mechanic not seem like he’s pulling a fast one on people when giving them estimates.
You can look forward to more ingenious ideas, and weird cookies perhaps, when Nathan For You returns next week.
While on Kimmel to promote the latest season of Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder told of a wonderful party planning innovation, then shared where he might get his penchant for painstakingly detailed, committed tomfoolery. Apparently, that “apple doesn’t fall from the tree” saying applies.

Nathan Fielder Knows How to Game Instagram
Nathan Fielder has been sneaking in lewd images via subtle mirrored reflection on Instagram. At first glance, they all seem well and good, but if you look closer, it’s like the one frame sliced into kids movies from Fight Club,
If there was a title of National Prankster Laureate, Nathan Fielder would definitely be a top candidate, which is made even sweeter by the fact that he isn’t even American; he’s Canadian.
The second season Nathan For You is coming July 1st, FYI.

The ever enterprising and funny Nathan Fielder appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to discuss his founding of Dumb Starbucks and how he plans to expand to Brooklyn or maybe use the same formula to parody other businesses.
He’ll have to get the health code business sorted out and not go to jail before all of that happens though.
Watch him discuss this as well as plug Dumb Starbucks with merch on Kimmel here.
Yep, The President of Dumb Starbucks Is/Was Nathan Fielder
Indeed, there was a “Dumb Starbucks” that was open for about two days on Hillhurst Ave. in Los Feliz here in LA. It wasn’t sanctioned in any way by Starbucks, but that didn’t matter because it was operating as a parody.
That being said, Nathan Fielder, of course, was behind this whole gag, but, due to not having a proper permits to serve food, Dumb Starbucks is currently shut down.
Take note all marketing firms/ad agencies: this was way better than a teaser/trailer for the next season of Nathan For You.
Nathan Fielder was clearly born to prank people. This example of tweeting out to people to mistakenly text message their parents about drugs then send screen captures of the conversation to him, then saying to call a number for an explanation if the parents still had doubts, which turned out to be a denial of the whole thing is pretty much perfect.
There’s a recording of the voicemail at the link.
