happythoughts 0 #1 July 29, 2008 This seems to be a popular theme. It comes in a variety of styles, but people find them wildly amusing. The abusive chef show. It seems to me like Jerry Springer with sauce pans. There is one where a British guy gives people crap, as if the guy is a drill sgt and they are learning something. Mostly, they are told, "Cook a steak", and not "how to cook it", then abused because they aren't fulfilling his non-communicated mental picture. I can understand how it is a great career move to get on one of those shows. Even if you lose, you still have huge exposure, plus you can put it on your resume. "Your sauce tastes like it came from your brown spot. FIX IT, YOU IDIOT." "It did. It is sphincter sauce - you pompous, pasty, British nancy boy." The abusive "talent" show. Judge 1 - Some non-active-career actor who is glad to not be parking cars. Judge 2 - A smiling, empathic person whose opinion and participation varies with the level of medication. Judge 3 - A pompous, poofy-coifed British nancy boy who wouldn't ever talk to people like that in real life. "You car is a representation of your values and character." "Sure, just make sure that you park it where you can keep an eye on it, or it's your a--." Jerry Springer - The Godfather of abuse shows. At least he's honest. The guests are so f-ed up, that you expect a fight. He just puts them in a ring. If you like the other abuse shows, don't talk bad about JS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Ok, yesterday we learned how to make haggis by stuffing a sheeps stomach with oatmeal, various organs, and some pig fat. I am concerned that you didn't have the proper garnish. A garland of heather would be perfect." "We must remind you that the primary theme of Scottish cuisine is to determine what would be a good dare after drinking half a bottle of whiskey. For todays show, our panel of judges are from the food preparation staff of the tv show Fear Factor..." "As always, you will receive immunity if the goat pukes..."

Phosphorus8 0 #4 July 29, 2008 British food is always given such a bad rep! Don't knock it til you try it!! Just cos we like to give everything a silly name like "Bubble and Squeak" of "Toad in the Hole" doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, just that the creator had a lot of....imagination!

SpeedRacer 1 #5 July 29, 2008 He was talking about the show Hell's Kitchen. I've flipped by it a couple of times. The chef host is a real asshole, and it is surprising to me that no one ever punches him out.
