Last night’s Nathan For You featured Nathan Fielder possibly at his most determined as he attempted to boost the sales of a toy ball called a “doink-it” by a very “mudslinging-esque” aggressive marketing campaign. The toy company that makes the “doink-it” was more than hesitant about Nathan’s plan, but, needless to say, Nathan didn’t play around.

As unconventional as his methods may be on Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder doesn’t very much appreciate when people try to mess with his plans or try to find a loophole or, even worse, just flat out lie to his face. 

So, during his plan for Pink’s Hot Dogs here in LA to have people who have an appropriate reason to be in a hurry cut to the front of the line, he met a liar and ended up “teaching” him a lesson.

The latest exploits of the ever enterprising Nathan Fielder involves an online invitation service, an annoying person that one would know too well, and Nathan’s go to Bill Gates impersonator. 

If that’s not enticing enough, the plan to develop a service where you could send certain invites to people that, perhaps, you work with, but don’t like and it would go directly to their spam folder. 

That’s pretty clever, but the “test party” that Nathan throws to see if the service works is even better because that Bill Gates impersonator is there.

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.

Nathan Fielder Voicemail Claims He Has No Idea About Kids Pranking Parents About Drugs (A Prank He Started)

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.
