I do like Gordon's eggs but I'll try Marco's too to see who's the best chef ever and who's a fucking idiot


Marco also believes the best way to do bacon is in a microwave, I can't tell if he's just full of shit or trolling.

In one of the Knorr ads I mentioned earlier he says he never puts oil in the pasta water because he had an Italian mother.

In a different one he says he DOES put oil in the pasta water for the same reason.

Quote from: thenoise on June 02, 2022, 11:12:03 AMGordy's evil nemesis Marco did a video clearly intended as a rival to this where he says taking it on and off the heat is stupid and "only a fool would rush scrambled eggs", referencing Gordon's uptight presentation  style.

Its definitely Macro's that I remember, not Gordon's. I'm not a scrambled egg lover but I remember being appalled at the way that toast seems to actively repel the eggs which reliquify immediately

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't find him funny, but just pretends to for the sense of superiority


I'm not sure he finds him funny, or just admires his confrontational lack of humour.  I think he basically considers him a father figure almost.

I think this, On the Evils of Tobacco by one of the Chekhov brothers (not sure which one, it just says A Chekhov) counts. As far as I recall it's a man who's supposed to give a lecture on the evils of tobacco but he spends most of it complaining about his wife, his notes being in the wrong order etc and barely mentions the fags

Just found out Coogan played the lecturer in a video adaptation. Might check it out

That was definitely the character he played in L&H so there's probably more than a little truth to it.

Quote from: 15Tawain on June 03, 2022, 12:06:34 AMSurely everyone knows the phrase is a shaggy dog story

I was thinking of this as well and wondering if someone would bring it up.

There's an amazing joke you can tell about ping pong balls that just falls flat at the end after a laborious setup. Painful.

Also, Tim Allen transformed into a shaggy dog one time and I don't mean his history with cocaine trafficking! Saw that in the cinema for a birthday.

Works as quite a good short story written down. Would of course be interminable recited by someone in a pub.

Is a disappointing punchline requisite for something to be a shaggy dog story? I've always liked this one, although the shagginess of the dog in it is never mentioned:

Shaggy dog story versus smuggy cunt story.

At least look a little ashamed after the first one, like the dog who just ate your dinner while you were on the phone. For the second one look into the camera that's behind you, not in front of you as you'd expect, aaah.
