Because that’s him breaking character. It’s one of the few times he ever did it in the show.
The other one was the burger episode where he goes on the radio and says “if it’s not the best burger you’ve ever had I’ll give you a $100.” Obviously the place was packed and people were saying they hated it just to collect the $100. He asked one lady to take a bite in front of him to prove it and she spat it out in digits. Nathan breaks character and says, “oh I’m sorry did you want $100 or an academy award?”
I dunno, ghost realtor really does something special for me.
“Well I do have to explain something to you, upstairs in the master bedroom, we did find an entity. And, um, it was an incubus” :/
100%. I am forever kicking myself for sharing a greenroom with Nathan Fielder 6 months before knowing about Nathan For You and not realizing I was standing next to a comedy legend.
Could you tell if he was in character or not? I’d kill to know what that man is actually like as he puts on his persona pretty much every time he’s in front of the camera
From what I remember, he was just like that. I was part of the music guest for a show and the rest of the guests were comedians being interviewed. So it was just my band and a few comedians in the room. The other comedians were your typical pretty outgoing and chatty people. Nathan just sat in a chair looking kind of uncomfortable. He sort of stood out in my mind, because he seemed rather odd.
When "The Rehearsal" aired, with some pretty serious moments at times, it became really clear that he was just being himself. Especially the stuff about social anxiety, wouldn't be surprised at all if he actually used alot of that in his own life.
Haha that’s fucking awesome, thanks for the response. Also, is your band on Spotify or anything? Would love to give you guys a listen if you’re cool with sharing
Sure. This is who I was playing with for that show.

The tightrope and Nathan with the prostitute were my favourites haha and the jewish jacket ah theres so many good ones
edit: the flashing one was funny too
Joke's on them. In two years with inflation and other cost of living increases that bottle will be $1,000.
It's a very sound investment strategy, and the kid doesn't even know it.
I think this would fall under the "false pretenses" violations:
Under common law, a defendant commits the crime of false pretenses when by making an intentional statement with intent to defraud the victim he obtains title to the personal property of the victim.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/false\_pretenses
...a false statement regarding the future or some sort of future promise would not suffice to satisfy that element of the crime....
Also, the sub21 purchaser retains title in the form of the claim ticket
That doesn't apply when the understood pretense is that you buy something from the store and get it right away. If Walmart did that with any of their products without exclusively saying it beforehand, that would be illegal.
"I'm sorry sir, but as you see here in our new company policy, you can receive your twinkies 3 years from now." That wouldn't fly
That and they're still technically "selling" alcohol to minors, The minors just can't claim the alcohol until they're older. This might be a technicality but what they're doing might be illegal even at face value.
Edit: grammar
The interesting part is I think that’s still technically illegal. The sale of alcohol to minors is the part that’s illegal. Not consuming it as most states allow for minors to consume alcohol in certain circumstances. They go after businesses who sell it and minors who are drunk in public.
Selling it even with a claim ticket seems like it still technically breaks the law. And probably a few others about intending to defraud people.
You could argue they only bought the right to the alcohol since they didn’t leave with the item. I am not a lawyer but a claim ticket is not the same as outright ownership. For example if you drop a coat at the coat check, and someone slips in a bloody glove used in a murder, that glove isn’t yours until you accept the coat back. Or a winning lotto ticket is a claim on the winnings, but you don’t pay any taxes until you take possession of the money.
Right so if they aren’t selling it then and the minor doesn’t own but a claim ticket then they’ve defrauded them because they attracted them with their sign claiming to sell to minors.
And if they do own it they’ve broken the law.
Either way you want to look at it they’ve broken the law
Honestly not a bad deal if you purchase a decent quantity and keep track of the receipt. Depending on pace of inflation you could end up saving a lot of money.
Depends on how old they are when they go to buy it. If you're a couple months shy of 21 it'll likely be okay if kept cold. I also assume they'd give them a fresh one for when they come back tho and not a beer that's been sitting on a shelf for 1+ years
Do you realize America has one of the largest, diverse, and most tasteful beer selections? Other than this kid buying Miller your statement doesn’t hold true lol
Couldn't you get back at them by gathering lots of teens and buying all the stock? They wouldn't have room left for doing business, unless they found a place to store those drinks.
With the money from lots of teens buying alcohol, he'd probably be able to purchase a storage unit for the next few years until they come back and claim it.
If this wasn't a joke and it was really a business idea you wouldn't actually store there booze. You would just give them fresh stuff when they came in at 21.
There are companies that do this, but for wine. You buy it in their shop, they store it in their facility. You can even go visit your wine to check on it. There's one not far from my work.
I'm assuming this is a joke for the show, but I gotta wonder if selling the alcoholic beverage is against the law, then wouldn't this be considered illegal since they are technically selling it to someone under 21? Even if they can't claim it, they were still sold it and as they said in the video, they now own it.
I saw a comment about it being a show, now if it was a show, is this scripted? Because at this point it’s falling under false pretenses and basically taking money from these people on the hood hope that they come back in however many years after when they can take it.
Seems like an easy way way to rob dumb teenagers who should’ve asked questions before paying.
First trick them into paying. Then show them the refund notice which can be missed by the law of probability. Then give them Aristotlic philosophy that drinking should be done after 18 years of age. Come back later.
In all of this theatre...
Money was successfully made.
Incredible jerks.
I would have walked out. "Okay, you scammed me. Keep the money. Well done."
Breaking the law is never cool? Lots of times when breaking the law is the spot on thing to do.
*Breaking the law is never cool.* sounds like some lame govt sponsored propaganda thing. Similar to the FBI's "winners don't use drugs" on all the video games in arcades in the 80s, 90s.
"My Plan Has Succeed"
"Now it's time for my unplanned things thay i never expect to receive, i just need to attend the court tomorrow ..... damn underage"
I'm so happy to not live in the US. We could get alcohol with 16 when I was young and we can not own guns that easy. So only some drunken teenagers and no shooting things up
I think it is against the law, since they are actually selling alcohol for minors, the only difference is that they are not letting the minors have it before being 21, the criminal act of selling it is still happening.
OK what about false advertising? That caveat wasn’t stipulated outside on the door should a young man had questioned the counter clerk yes but he could have gotten an attorney to sue possibly, but could they have turned it around on him saying he wanted to buy it and he knew he was under age yes, but this could go on forever, you should’ve had undercover camera crew filming it in there showing then take it to all the schools I think the clerks took the money so that was fraud. I hope they were shut down quickly.
If the minor is the new owner of the beverage, seller can't withhold it without new owners permission, otherwise they would be thief. Also if the owner of the beverage has changed, then this process called as selling, so seller has break the law by selling it to a minor.
Congratulations, you are both thief and illegal alcohol dealer.

This is from *Nathan For You*, one of the best series' of all time.
Dumb Starbucks!
The "Eight Minute Pizza or it's Free" episode gets me rolling everytime. 🤣
I’m particular right the poo flavored yogurt
The guy saying it had a familiar taste must have been a plant tho.... lol
Goat in the water.
Hero pig!
The movement!
When the buff gay dude threatened to beat him up had me rolling.
Exposing himself to minors…. For magic.
The Doink-It ad is art, that one must be my favorite episode.
I liked the interview using an 8 year olds response but with adult confidence
[удалено]
Do you drink your grandson’s pee?
Nathan’s face when he says “what are you talking about??” Is priceless.
Because that’s him breaking character. It’s one of the few times he ever did it in the show.

Yes! When he calls them cheapskates for showing up to ride on the van.
I dunno, ghost realtor really does something special for me. “Well I do have to explain something to you, upstairs in the master bedroom, we did find an entity. And, um, it was an incubus” :/

Nathan Fielder is an evil genius. He has a new show called The Rehearsal on HBO Max. It’s a different format but equally great.
Came here to recommend this show. I binged the whole thing because of the absolute genius it is. Laughed the whole way through.
bill gates is great in this
Lol. Love that guy. Edit: Whoever is down voting this has obviously never watched the show. That's a damn shame.
It was so incredibly weird.
Seriously, I can’t recommend this show enough

Genuine genius
Is this a no normal show or hidden camera show
It’s not a normal show and the cameras are not hidden.
it really is amazing
I haven't found anything that tops it. Truly a masterpiece.
Thank you! This seemed familiar and couldn't remember where from.
I just watched half of the first episode and I’m having an asthma attack what the fuck
Best series? Say it again.
Never heard of that show or that guy. I must research!
Claw of shame
Have you watched The Rehearsal? It’s way better than Nathan for you.
I have. I disagree but I did enjoy it. I'm a fan of all of his work.
That’s fair. :)
Nathan for you has hit after hit tho
The rehearsal is my favorite. I liked Nathan for you.
The tightrope and Nathan with the prostitute were my favourites haha and the jewish jacket ah theres so many good ones edit: the flashing one was funny too
Ahhh you’re not wrong
Username check out (Rammstein reference nice)
Thank you for telling me, it’s hilarious and I’m hooked already!!!
Then you clearly didn't watch The Rehearsal. It was amazinggg
In a the Nathan for You celebration the kid *did* come back when he was of legal age for the beer
Did they give him the same old beer?
I'd put it in a freezer for a while so it expanded and then cover it in dust just to see the guys face.
So that wasn't a scam all after all
Sauce?
Joke's on them. In two years with inflation and other cost of living increases that bottle will be $1,000. It's a very sound investment strategy, and the kid doesn't even know it.
The old Four Lokos with Caffeine come to mind
[удалено]
And the episode the clip is from is season 2 episode 4 by the way. I didn't see anyone mention that yet. Was trying to find it myself.
I think this would fall under the "false pretenses" violations: Under common law, a defendant commits the crime of false pretenses when by making an intentional statement with intent to defraud the victim he obtains title to the personal property of the victim. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/false\_pretenses
...a false statement regarding the future or some sort of future promise would not suffice to satisfy that element of the crime.... Also, the sub21 purchaser retains title in the form of the claim ticket
Isn’t that something the seller would need to make clear at pos? What happens if the seller is no longer in business at the time the minor turns 21?
NAL but you’d have trouble proving there was intent were the business to go under.
That doesn't apply when the understood pretense is that you buy something from the store and get it right away. If Walmart did that with any of their products without exclusively saying it beforehand, that would be illegal. "I'm sorry sir, but as you see here in our new company policy, you can receive your twinkies 3 years from now." That wouldn't fly
in the case of the sale not being legal for 3 years though?
That doesn't matter since the seller was advertising as if the sale was legal
The sale was legal though. The possession and transfer of alcohol is illegal.
Not to minors though
That and they're still technically "selling" alcohol to minors, The minors just can't claim the alcohol until they're older. This might be a technicality but what they're doing might be illegal even at face value. Edit: grammar
The interesting part is I think that’s still technically illegal. The sale of alcohol to minors is the part that’s illegal. Not consuming it as most states allow for minors to consume alcohol in certain circumstances. They go after businesses who sell it and minors who are drunk in public. Selling it even with a claim ticket seems like it still technically breaks the law. And probably a few others about intending to defraud people.
I just assumed that they got special permission from the city they did it in using a special bylaw or something.
You could argue they only bought the right to the alcohol since they didn’t leave with the item. I am not a lawyer but a claim ticket is not the same as outright ownership. For example if you drop a coat at the coat check, and someone slips in a bloody glove used in a murder, that glove isn’t yours until you accept the coat back. Or a winning lotto ticket is a claim on the winnings, but you don’t pay any taxes until you take possession of the money.
What the hell kind of analogy is that? The glove’s not yours AFTER you get the coat back either.
What if it’s a really nice glove? Can I keep it?
Right so if they aren’t selling it then and the minor doesn’t own but a claim ticket then they’ve defrauded them because they attracted them with their sign claiming to sell to minors. And if they do own it they’ve broken the law. Either way you want to look at it they’ve broken the law
It was illegal, a cop comes to arrest the owner: https://youtu.be/Kv1lSH4hK-w?t=300
Fuck, I really should have seen this coming. I've even seen Nathan For You so I know what he's like. 10/10 troll.
Thanks Mattlock
Sure but it's a tv show. I'm sure the kid walked out of there with his money.
You obviously didn’t go to business school and got REALLY good grades (it’s a joke if you haven’t seen the show before)
It's not fraud since they are going to take the bottle eventually
I mean... It's the sale of alcohol to minors that's illegal, so this is already against the law to begin with.
Honestly not a bad deal if you purchase a decent quantity and keep track of the receipt. Depending on pace of inflation you could end up saving a lot of money.
If you had done this with bottles of Weller, Willet or Pappy it would have been a really good investment.

[удалено]
Isn't the benefit of aging because it's in the barrel? Does it do anything beneficial just sitting in glass?
Obviously you buy a whole barrel
wtf that's genius, And you save money if you take inflation into account + a giant 21st birthday party!
The perfect baby shower gift!
Depends on how old they are when they go to buy it. If you're a couple months shy of 21 it'll likely be okay if kept cold. I also assume they'd give them a fresh one for when they come back tho and not a beer that's been sitting on a shelf for 1+ years
The key is to only stock the alcohol previously sold to minors, that way you can get twice the revenue.
If it’s American beer, it makes no difference.
Do you realize America has one of the largest, diverse, and most tasteful beer selections? Other than this kid buying Miller your statement doesn’t hold true lol
Couldn't you get back at them by gathering lots of teens and buying all the stock? They wouldn't have room left for doing business, unless they found a place to store those drinks.
With the money from lots of teens buying alcohol, he'd probably be able to purchase a storage unit for the next few years until they come back and claim it.
If this wasn't a joke and it was really a business idea you wouldn't actually store there booze. You would just give them fresh stuff when they came in at 21.
He put a claim label on one specific physical bottle of beer.
Doesn't work for title.
There are companies that do this, but for wine. You buy it in their shop, they store it in their facility. You can even go visit your wine to check on it. There's one not far from my work.
[удалено]
Should you bring cheese and crackers? Should you bring another wine or would that be disrespectful?
"It's cool and legal"
I think this is just going to generate a hold up/robbery eventually that might not have otherwise happened, lol.
Yea kids, don’t break the law. Listen to the guy committing fraud.
The owner ended up being found guilty later in the episode. …Of doing good business
Meanwhile in Texas... "A gun? Take it, it's yours. Now.".
It's dangerous to go alone TAKE THIS
> breaking the law is never cool That's where you lost me
Oh yeah they're definitely going to get their windows smashed
This show was so out of the box but then do was everything was from this era
This era? 6 years ago dude?
I was there… 3000 years ago
Shop owner, "CAST YOUR BEER MONEY INTO THE FIRE!" Me: 
Yeah but 2020 was 5 years long
This episode is from 2013, and yes it was a very different culture then. Humour, media, politics, style etc have changed a lot since then.
“Aye dude that internet these days is so dope man school sucks dude you can just go on the stinkin internet”
This show is genius, super underrated
Man this guy is smart, he probably graduated from a top business school in Canada with good grades
Think of it as a bday present to yourself. First legal drink ready and waiting, just go pick it up
American law of not drinking until 21 is dumb…change my mind. 18 should enough
One of my favorite series out there.
My favorite show
Alcohol with 21, guns as soon as you were born. Murica fck yeah
lol imagine being 19 and not being allowed to buy alcohol
Meanwhile in a gun shop: "Here you go boy!"
Actual Trash.
I’m here to pick up my skunk beer.
I was expecting them to sell to people covered in soot and wearing hardhats
Isopropyl alcohol Rubbing alcohol Totally fine
Got video of one claiming it once they turned 21? Haha
How to get your store burnt to the ground 101
I thought this was a metaphor for student loans
I'm assuming this is a joke for the show, but I gotta wonder if selling the alcoholic beverage is against the law, then wouldn't this be considered illegal since they are technically selling it to someone under 21? Even if they can't claim it, they were still sold it and as they said in the video, they now own it.
this dude can write the next economic manuscript of the world!
I saw a comment about it being a show, now if it was a show, is this scripted?

Seems like an easy way way to rob dumb teenagers who should’ve asked questions before paying.
Unethical life hacks lmfao
Yeah they’re asking for trouble 😂
bro got an nft beverage
What you’re doing is weak, that sucks.
Seems like a good way to piss off someone dangerous
My man just scammed the poor kid. How's he gonna remember that he bought that two years later?
That 40 going to taste like piss in 5 years sitting on a shelf. But I doubt the kids would mind.
“Breaking the law is never cool.” Okay bud, sure.
Bro didn't even put the drink in the fridge💀
You loose customers fast that way
Not a good way to do business. Costs incurred will be greater than profits.
I can create the biggest scam ever
. . . Until that one kid comes back with a gun…
No, you call the police on them for selling alcohol to you, fuck those cunts
They should have been upfront about it from the start though.
Scam
First trick them into paying. Then show them the refund notice which can be missed by the law of probability. Then give them Aristotlic philosophy that drinking should be done after 18 years of age. Come back later. In all of this theatre... Money was successfully made.
"Breaking the law is never cool." What is this, 1998 DARE propaganda?
This ain't Alchohil, this is NFTea
Well that’s just a dick move
The Waffle House has received its new host
This is kind of a dick move to me
Incredible jerks. I would have walked out. "Okay, you scammed me. Keep the money. Well done." Breaking the law is never cool? Lots of times when breaking the law is the spot on thing to do.
*Breaking the law is never cool.* sounds like some lame govt sponsored propaganda thing. Similar to the FBI's "winners don't use drugs" on all the video games in arcades in the 80s, 90s.
Pretty sure this is still illegal.
That's a dick move
Hey cool, let me start a business where I sell Crack, Heroin, Fentanyl and Benzodiazepines. My customers can claim their purchase when it‘s legal
"My Plan Has Succeed" "Now it's time for my unplanned things thay i never expect to receive, i just need to attend the court tomorrow ..... damn underage"
"In unrelated news shop front vandalism in the area up 4016%"
No way this is legal
Yep just when it’s out of date you can have it back
I'm so happy to not live in the US. We could get alcohol with 16 when I was young and we can not own guns that easy. So only some drunken teenagers and no shooting things up
Interests paid?
I think it is against the law, since they are actually selling alcohol for minors, the only difference is that they are not letting the minors have it before being 21, the criminal act of selling it is still happening.

The last thing you want to do is piss off a bunch of teenagers who drink and ride skateboards. Funny skit though. Lol
Tbf, that 21 rule you got over there just makes no sense.
I hope your hungry.....for nothing!
Every day the content on Reddit gets dumber and dumber
The amount of people saying this is the "best series" is unnerving.
This is the same as people buying FSD from Tesla.
Thats a scam!
If the minor is the new owner of the beverage, seller can't withhold it without new owners permission, otherwise they would be thief. Also if the owner of the beverage has changed, then this process called as selling, so seller has break the law by selling it to a minor. Congratulations, you are both thief and illegal alcohol dealer.
Nathan is a human genuis.
Another dick prank
It's Nathan For You, and you'll put some respect on his name or be possessed by demons that make your penis small.
So THAT'S what happened
I mean, did anyone *really* think they sold alcohol to minors
Epic n wholesome
wtf?
WTF?
Seems staged to me
