50 free Nathan for You trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Nathan for You ran for just 32 episodes on Comedy Central, but almost every one of them produced a stunt that leaked into the real world: a fake pig-rescues-goat video that fooled national news, a Dumb Starbucks that drew hour-long lines in Los Feliz, a Holocaust-awareness jacket brand that is still trading, and a 90-minute finale that Errol Morris called unfathomably great. These 50 questions walk through all four seasons in order. Early ones cover the premise and the most famous stunts; the middle asks about specific schemes, from the Ghost Realtor and the Hotel Excellence Awards to the smoke detectors that became musical instruments. The expert tier wants the YouTube username behind the pig video, the premiere's viewership and the name of the real coffee shop behind Dumb Starbucks. Every answer is cited to the episode list or a page about the stunt, with a short explanation. Play it solo or hand it to the group chat that still quotes The Movement.
