Seriously, this is by far my fav show now, it's extremely funny and surprisingly entertaining for what it is.
Nathan For You is a 30min reality TV show starring Nathan Fielder.
The whole idea of the show is that struggling businesses come to Nathan Fielder for help to make their business better with new ideas, however Nathan is doing an "alaways on" character, he never breaks character on the show and his character is basically an awkward guy with bad business ideas... 90% of the ideas go wrong or fail, but if they succeed he'll make the situation awkward somehow or make it fail.
It is currently in it's 3rd season and has things like....
during one episode he helps a struggling electronics store compete against Best Buy, who have a policy to match any local competitors prices.... his business idea is to reduce a high ticket price samsung flat screen TV to $1 then go to Best Buy and buy all their stock for $1 each, giving customers no choice to buy the TV from them at the then increased price.
Everything he does though must be legal, so in this episode they must actually sell the high price TV for $1 in store before they can get Best Buy to honour their pricing policy. So they set out to discourage people from buying the TV and they do this by converting the back room into the only location in the store that they can get the TV. They make the back room so that it has a tiny door entrance with another door behind it, and when people crawl throught it they can see into the next room with the TV. The trouble is that room has a live alligator in front of the TV standing guard. Needless to say no one went to get a TV.
Other stuff happens in this episode which is even more bizarre, but yeah, i highly recommend watching this. I typically hate reality TV but this spoof version of reality TV is above and beyond what it needs to be..... the funniest part of it though is that people still go to him for advice.
