It's filler bullshit to get youtube views/money now. I knew it after the first few episodes. I said they'd run out of ideas and they really have. Stuff this into that...yada...yada...etc..
It's pathetic cooking but they know it AND embrace it, so, to me, it's A-OK.

Add more liquor and it's WAY more ok with me.

They've started a battle thing now which is completely horrific but so far they've found plenty of good chefs to dick around and drink for an hour. Even some *recognizable* judges. Complete shit, it is.

Guess what? I still watch it every week, and I'm ok with them making a thirtieth of a cent, or whatever, from my view. They're fun. They'll probably lose all of the money on bacon and MTV cribs style bullshit. Call them douches or whatever. They called themselves that because they knew what they knew were portraying.

They're having fun and you should not be mad at that.

I actually haven't watched it in well over a year, because you're right, the formula is stale and not as amusing as it was in the beginning.

What's irritating is your "opinion" started out completely false. They aren't American. And "embarassed" is a completely outrageous descriptive for this situation. Embarassed is why you shit your pants on the subway. Or when your kid points at a fat person and remarks to them that they are fat. Way too extreme of a term to use when expressing your thoughts on an Internet TV show. If you knew these guys in real life, it would be more reasonable to use that "opinion". Maybe you knew for a fact they are douchebags that make asses of themselves on a day to day basis.

But no. That's not the case. You're just using inappropriate descriptive terms for something completely benign to your life. And incorrect facts.

Do you watch ANY TV at all? Is it your opinion that everything on TV is demeaning? Because a majority of the shit you'll see there or on the Internet, is worse than some guys pounding bacon and whiskey.

Seriously, dude. It's fine to not like something. That's all you have to say. Hell, say "I don't like it because all that grease is nasty and unhealthy". But you're being dramatic for no reason.

Haha, over the last hour I got interested, looked it up, had a giggle or two, then about 3eps in I'm now burnt out and can't watch any more.

I think its kind of a neat concept, especially from a satire perspective. If you "hate" the show, then you just don't have a well rounded sense of humor.

It does annoy me, but only because they did such a poor job of developing the concept. I've only seen 3 eps so far, but never once did they comment on how good/bad it tasted, they don't schtick-it-up enough at the restaurants, not enough kitchen fail variety, no close-up examination of the food abominations, and oddly enough, they could *maybe* offer some practical advice and create some real dishes that might actually be edible rather than just peeing on poop and saying rawwwrrr every 30 seconds. I like the guy that does all the talking... The toilet humorilevel banter has made me laugh since I was about 4yrs old, but again, I'm not really sensing the development. If they would sit down and think shit out before filming they could keep it interesting... I mean look at adam richman's show... Guy has made a whole career out of painful stomach expansion and hot sauce burns. No one would watch the show more than twice if that's all there was to see, but there's just enough yukking it up with the restaurant tours, cook interviews, and thought toward personality and presentation that it has survived, and seems to be doing pretty well.

I found the Jack Daniels breakfast-thing genuinely funny, but that's it.
It was also nice seeing them make that bird stuffed in a bird stuffed in a pig, or whatever, but that's it.
Those are also the only two episodes that yielded actual, tasty-looking results out of the episodes I've watched.

some of their stuff looks and sounds tasty. I think they over the Jack Daniel's and bacon. But as far as dishes in the earlier episodes like Meatball Deathstar and Turducken-Pig look great.

>>They act like douchebags.
And they're well aware of it too. They call themselves douchebags on a constant basis, because it's deliberate. It's deliberate because it's COMEDY.
>>They're sell-outs/moneygrubbers/whatever term you feel like using to mean "makes money from the shit they do."
