Synopsis
Watch Nathan for You Season 2 (2014) online on iFILM, where Comedy Central's straight-faced consultant returns for eight episodes and pushes his schemes well past anything the first run dared. The stunts get bigger. The logic stays broken.
Nathan talks a mechanic into backing his repair estimates with a polygraph, rebrands a realtor as the "Ghost Realtor," and stages a fake movie shoot at a souvenir shop that drifts into accidental fraud. The season's centerpiece is Dumb Starbucks — using parody law, he opens a coffee shop that copies the chain down to the logo and lands himself in national news. Elsewhere there's an ad placed in a pet cemetery, a system to keep women safe on first dates, and a hot dog stand selling the right to skip the line. Real owners, real customers, real bewilderment.
What makes this season land is Fielder's refusal to break character no matter how ridiculous the idea gets. He experiments more freely here, and a few of these bits wander into genuinely uncomfortable territory where the prank stops being only a prank. Stream Nathan for You Season 2 online on iFILM.
