Comedy Central The brilliant Elizabeth Holmes meta-documentary You Can See Everything has only been in theaters for a few weeks, but it’s already stirred up Oscar buzz for co-directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and generated more than $65 million at the box office. That’s an astounding sum considering the film was made for a mere $7 million, setting up a clear trajectory for it to become one of the top-grossing non-music documentaries in Hollywood history.
Nathan Fielder merely walking an Oscar red carpet, let alone collecting an award, would be a moment of triumph for longtime fans of his beloved Comedy Central series Nathan for You, which ran for four seasons between 2013 and 2017. Essentially a spoof of business-improvement reality shows like Bar Rescue and The Profit, the series sees Fielder propose preposterous ideas to “help” real-life small businesses, sometimes two or three per episode, and those schemes spiral out of control in wildly unpredictable ways.
It’s tough to pick the 10 best segments, since the show was consistently brilliant, culminating in a series finale so stunning that we’re still trying to process it nearly a decade later. But to celebrate You Can See Everything and introduce newbies to Fielder’s wider world, we’ve combed through all 32 episodes and selected our favorites. Yes, some classics like “The Man Zone” (in which Fielder sets up a designated man cave for boyfriends and husbands inside a women’s boutique) and “Maid Service” (where he hires 40 maids to clean a house at once in an attempt to get the task done in under six minutes) narrowly missed the cut. But there’s no such thing as a bad Nathan for You segment. So if you’ve got the time, we also recommend doing a deep dive on the whole series to choose your own top 10.

Electronics Store (Season Three, Episode One)
Image Credit: Comedy Central When Best Buy’s price-match guarantee nearly drives a struggling television store out of business, Fielder proposes a promotion in which they sell flat-screen televisions for one dollar. The only catch is that customers hoping to cash in on the deal need to dress in tuxedos or ball gowns, walk through a tiny door, and get past an actual live alligator. (Yes, they brought an alligator into the store.) Meanwhile, Fielder and the store owner must approach Best Buy and ask them to match the $1 price so they can stock up on televisions to sell at market rate. We’ll avoid spoiling it from here, but the scheme eventually involves Nathan dressing up like a teenage goth, complete with a lip ring, and taking a salsa lesson in a park with a former Best Buy worker, creating a meme that’ll live forever.
