Any Nathan For You fans who are looking for a fix between seasons should make there way to YouTube. There, they can find the official channel of Nathan Fielder, who spent six years releasing bizarre, deadpan sketch comedy before going on to create one of Comedy Central‘s most critically-acclaimed programs.
While he was active on YouTube, Fielder gained an audience of around 30,000 subscribers, but his channel went dormant in 2012 and has not been updated since. It recently returned to the spotlight thanks to a Reddit user, who shared Fielder’s clip “Thin Watermelon” on the /r/videos forum.
The 32 videos Fielder uploaded to YouTube between 2006 and 2012 display the roots of his signature style. One sketch, titled “Widget,” makes use of photo filters as the basis for a perfectly awkward slice of cringe comedy.
Fielder’s final YouTube video is a snippet from the Canadian Daily Show analogue This Hour Has 22 Minutes, on which he had a recurring role. One year after his personal channel went quiet, he launched Nathan For You, which has been hailed as “ingenious dumb horror.” Its fourth season concluded in November, and a fifth has not yet been announced.
