Teen Street

Warning: Spoilers
Nathan tries to help a Santa get work during the summer by setting up a photoshoot in the mall and discounting the photos. After a background check, they can't hire him due to a past DUI. Nathan doesn't have the heart to tell him that they can't hire him, so they set up anyways with the safe word "abort" in mind.

Nathan helps a petting zoo get more business by creating a star animal that will attract tourists, like Shamu for Sea World. He comes up with an idea to stage a viral video of Vince the Pig saving a baby goat from drowning in a pond. He gets many different people involved and becomes paranoid that word will get out that the video is fake. He gets Santa to do the voice over and the video blows up. He decides not to include the name of the zoo in case it came out the video was fake.

Nathan sees graffiti all over Los Angeles and stages a poster of himself that will help him lure a troublesome teen. He waits for hours until a teenager begins drawing penises on his poster. He approaches him and gets him to film a fake video segment called Teen Street. Then they go to his house, where Nathan shows his mother the vandalized poster. They don't take it seriously until he brings in an LAPD officer, telling him it can result in jail time.

We get to see the good and bad sides of Nathan's personality. When he can't break the news to Santa about not getting the job. Then when he becomes paranoid and indirectly threatens a TV worker at a train station. The teen they found for Teen Street couldn't have been better and he just walked into it without knowing what was going on. This episode is hilarious and the pig saves baby goat video has over 10 million views on YouTube.
