17
The Poop Frozen Yogurt Incident
Nathan literally convinced a struggling froyo shop to sell poop-flavored ice cream. Not chocolate. POOP. He hired a lab to make it taste exactly like actual feces. Customers ordered it, tasted it, and said "this tastes like shit" and Nathan was like "well yeah, you ordered poop ice cream."
🔥 Mildly Unhinged

Seven Months of Secret Tightrope Training
To help one guy gain confidence, Nathan trained for SEVEN MONTHS to walk a tightrope between buildings while wearing a prosthetic mask of the guy's face. He became a professional-level tightrope walker just to help someone feel better about themselves. This is not normal human behavior.

The Alligator Electronics Store
Nathan put a LIVE ALLIGATOR in an electronics store to create obstacles for a $1 TV sale so Best Buy couldn't price match. Customers had to wear formal attire, crawl through a 2-foot door, and get past an actual dangerous reptile. For a TV. That probably doesn't even work.
🔥🔥 Definitely Illegal
14
Dumb Starbucks Goes Viral
Nathan opened a parody Starbucks called "Dumb Starbucks" using art law loopholes. It became international news with lines around the block until the health department shut it down. This man accidentally became a news story while trying to help a coffee shop compete with corporate chains.

Manufacturing An Anecdote for TV
Nathan needed a funny story for Jimmy Kimmel, so he orchestrated an elaborate wedding crash scenario, filmed it, then appeared on the show to tell it as if it naturally happened to him.

🔥🔥🔥 Meta-Cringe Level
11
Laser-Scanning Apartments for Practice Conversations
In The Rehearsal, Nathan laser-scanned someone's entire apartment to create an exact replica so they could practice having a difficult conversation. He recreated their reality down to the millimeter because he thought that would help them be more authentic. This is the opposite of authenticity.

The Child Actor Parent Rehearsal
Nathan "rehearsed" being a parent by rotating through different child actors playing his "son." These kids formed real attachments to him while he used them to explore his own capacity for connection. The ethical implications are... a lot. Like, therapy-worthy a lot.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Genuinely Concerning

Transporting a Fake House to Oregon
Nathan physically moved the replica apartment set from the first Rehearsal episode to Oregon because he felt more emotionally connected to the fake house than to real places. He found home in a constructed reality that he built to help someone else. This is peak millennial housing crisis energy.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Existentially Unmoored
8
Creating a Fake Reality Show About Pilots
For Rehearsal Season 2, Nathan created "Wings of Voice," a completely fake reality competition show about pilot communication. Over 1,000 real people auditioned thinking it was legitimate.

Testifying to Congress About Aviation (Fake Advocacy)
Nathan staged congressional testimony about pilot communication training, presenting himself as a legitimate aviation safety advocate. The twist? It was all performance art for his show. He convinced government officials to listen to his "expertise" while filming it for entertainment.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Narrative Detonation

Deleting Brain Scan Results Without Listening
The most telling moment: Nathan deletes a voicemail about his brain scan results without listening because learning about his actual neurodivergence might interfere with his character. He actively chose performance over self-knowledge. Character Nathan has completely consumed Actual Nathan.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Identity Dissolution
3

Creating an Entire Career Out of Avoiding Authenticity
Nathan's whole body of work is essentially elaborate methods to avoid being genuinely vulnerable with another human being. He's built a television empire around not being able to have a normal conversation. This is performance as the ultimate defense mechanism.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Existential Avoidance
1

The ultimate cringe: Nathan has become Character Nathan Fielder so completely that there might not be an Actual Nathan left. He's solved the problem of being awkward by becoming a performance of awkwardness. It's the most millennial solution possible - optimize yourself out of existence.

THE FINAL VERDICT
🎭💀🔥
Nathan Fielder is what happens when someone takes "fake it 'til you make it" SO literally that they fake themselves out of existence. He's created brilliant television about the dangers of treating life like a problem to be solved instead of an experience to be lived.
Watch his shows. Learn from his mistakes. But please, PLEASE don't try this at home. Some people are meant to be studied from a safe distance. 💀
