Eating a FAT SANDWICH

2009-06-10 · John, Sarah Urist Green · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

In a 'Cooking with John' episode John performs his punishment, eating a strawberry-protein Crisco 'fat sandwich' equivalent to a Carl's Jr. burger; like fast food, he says, the first bites were delicious, then it got grosser and he vomited.

What is said

00:00:00 — 'Cooking with John' intro; the last episode's blenderized Happy Meal

  • ★★ John opens 'Cooking with John', the show where they make and eat disgusting things; the last episode was a blenderized McDonald's Happy Meal. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Happy Meal > «Cooking With John»

00:00:16 — The recipe: Carl's Jr. burger as constituent parts (Crisco, corn syrup, salt, strawberry soy protein, wheat bun), blended; Sarah's predictions

  • ★★★ John explains the challenge: eat the nutritional equivalent of a Carl's Jr. specialty burger as its constituent parts - fat, corn syrup, salt and protein - plus a bun. (playful) — 00:00:16
  • ★ John says he bought the strawberry-flavored protein because it was cheaper and will probably regret it. (playful) — 00:00:30
  • ★★ John's recipe: a quarter cup of Crisco, one teaspoon of high fructose corn syrup (Mrs. Butterworth), one teaspoon of salt and two scoops of strawberry soy protein, blended, on a wheat bun. (playful) — 00:00:44
  • ★ Sarah predicts it will be better than the blenderized Happy Meal, consistency-wise, because the bun is a familiar element. (hedged) — 00:01:24 · Happy Meal

00:01:57 — Eating the fat sandwich: delicious, then nasty; voiceover cuts the vomiting; John finishes

  • ★★★ John finds the fat sandwich 'kind of delicious' at first - strawberry, salty, sugary, fatty - but halfway through it tastes bad and he feels sick, and powers through. (playful) — 00:02:10
  • ★★★ A voiceover freezes the footage so young viewers need not see John vomit; John then finishes the sandwich. (playful) — 00:03:11

00:03:37 — Verdict: just like fast food; penance of answering 317 questions; sign-off

  • ★★★ John says that, just like regular fast food, the first couple of bites were delicious and then it became progressively grosser. (playful) — 00:03:37
  • ★★★ To pay further penance, John promises to answer the first 317 questions asked in comments, particularly on the Ning. — 00:03:46 · Nerdfighter Ning > «I will answer the first 317 questions asked in comments»

Humor (dominant)

  • John explains his choice of buns for the fat sandwich. — 00:00:41 > «I got the wheat buns because, you know, I'm watchin' my figure.»
  • Sarah's new fear is that John will like the fat sandwich. — 00:01:47 > «Baby, make me a fat sandwich! Strawberry flavored, please!»
  • Sarah asks John to describe the first bite of the fat sandwich. — 00:02:18 > «Unfortunately, it's really good.»
  • A voiceover freezes the footage because young people watch the videos. — 00:03:11 > «having what is known in competitive eating circles as a reversal of fortune.»
