Things Not to Do on Top Chef

pack your knives and get the fuck out

pack your knives and get the fuck out

After six seasons of ‘Top Chef‘, I wonder, why do people continue making the same mistakes over and over?  Here are some things that you should NOT do if you find yourself a contestant:

  • Unless it’s an ice cream challenge, DO NOT MAKE ICE CREAM!  There is no doubt in my mind that the machine will give you a soupy mess instead of ice cream come game time.  Or for god’s sake, call it a cold desert soup.
  • If you’ve cooked scallops twice already, the judges have probably already told you they don’t like your scallops twice.  Next time don’t use the same ingredient over and over again.  In the words of Fabio, “this is ‘Top Chef’, not Top Scallop!” (also according to him it is not “Top Pussy” either)
  • Taking risks DOES NOT mean pull an idea that you’ve never had before out of your ass and try to execute it perfectly in several hours.  You come from a culinary background?  Well use some of that knowledge to create a winning dish.  Hell-o.
  • STOP taking advice from your competition.  It’s better to do what you know than take advice from someone who gets at least $100,000 if you fail.   Even if it’s someone from another season, if they are working with you they did not win so why would you listen to them ever.  Seriously?  Have you watched any single reality show ever?  People do some crazy shit for their 15 minutes of fame, some money and maybe a hook-up.
  • It’s better to agree with the judges when they say your dish is bad by explaining what you should have done than stand behind a bad dish.  STOP, seriously just stop saying that putting 5 habaneros in that taquito was what you intended to achieve.  It wasn’t.

I know there are more, but I’m done thinking for the night.  Leave any you can think of in the comments :)

jenny

It was announced today that my favorite comedienne and the main reason for my interest in stand-up comedy (and this blog’s creation) is going to be a new cast member on Saturday Night Live!  So now all of you who have read the multitudes of postings about her work and have not (stupidly) gone to see her for yourself, can check her out every week on the new season of SNL!  I haven’t really watched SNL in a few years, but I might have to get TiVo so I can hence forth.  Congratulations Jenny, you deserve it more than anyone!

Why Would You Go on MTV’s ‘Next’?

August 29, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Bill Fed Her a Line, But She Thought He was Slime -- so he got a NEXT!I love the lazy afternoons that I spend hours watching repeats of the MTV show ‘Next‘.   I constantly find myself being fascinated by one of the most fake and worst shows on television.  While I’m in this state I always wonder why , out of all the different reality TV platforms, that one would find themselves on this show.  Here are some reasons why no one should want to be on ‘Next’ (Besides every single devastatingly embarrassing activities you will participate in and every line you are fed to say about yourself)

  • First girl off the bus: You’re not going to be on your date for long, so that counts out love and money for you.  There are four more, possibly hotter candidates only one word away.  Oh yea also, you’re going to have to dress up in a ridiculous outfit that you will be sitting in for the remaining 11 minutes of this segment
  • Second girl off the bus: Girl number three is going to talk shit about you as soon as you get off the bus.  She’ll probably ask the girls why they think you have such a fat ass.  And most likely you will have a fatter ass than the rest of the girls, so you know what that means, an immediate “NEXT”.  That’s right, you just went on TV to be told you’re too fugly to even exchange pleasantries with.
  • Third girl off the bus: You will probably really connect with the guy because he doesn’t make you dress like an whore-y superhero, instead you get to have a chill dinner.  You’ll end up saying you like the Red Sox and he’ll next you after $46 worth of minutes.  You make a little cash, but not as nearly as much as you’d make from spending the same time at a real job.  Also by the time you get back girl #5 has done impressions of you, put bologna on her face and measured girl #2’s ear lobes.
  • Forth Girl Off the Bus: By the time you get off the bus, the guy has undoubtedly gotten bored with talking to girls and wants to go home, not to mention that you still smell like bologna, so he asks you for the second date quickly so you don’t get the satisfaction of saying no when you accept $3 for it.
  • Fifth Girl on the Bus: Enjoy your 3 hour bus ride.

I think I’d be less embarrassed

if I were in a Girls Gone Wild commercial

than I would be if I was on an episode of ‘NEXT’

Thinking About Getting a Tattoo?

August 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I just searched the internet for “classy tattoos”, which is an oxymoron, either that or the definition of class has changed.  After looking at a bunch of people’s tribal arm bands, I came across the most beautiful tattoo I’ve ever seen.  I know it’s kind of unoriginal to flat out copy someone else’s tattoo, but this one is sooo me!  So next time you see me on the street check out my new tat, it will look identical to this one (except on a white background…too far?).

hey grandma! like my new tat??

hey grandma! like my new tat??

Notice the beautiful detail on the ball hair!

Honest TV Guide Descriptions

May 12, 2009 · 3 Comments

My family owns a condo in Northern New Jersey.   One of my favorite things to do there is look at the show descriptions on the TV Guide channel.  That may sound strange, but actually it’s fantastic because they have the strangest/most literal/hilarious descriptions of shows I have ever seen.  Here is one, for Duece Bigalo: Male Gigolo that I could not let scroll past me:

tv

This got me thinking.  What if all show/movie descriptions were as literal/glorious as the one above.  If this were the case I would apply for a job at TVGuide immediately and submit these mindqueefs: 

The Hills: Nothing happens ever.

MANSWERS: Stupid questions answered.

Jon & Kate plus 8: Penis shrinks inward.

Jerry Springer: Life could be worse.

Girls Next Door: Hot girls talk too much.

Seinfeld: About nothing, but more than The Hills.

Toddlers & Tiaras: Future strippers of America.

Rock of Love 3: Loser turns tricks.

Jenny Slate: DEAD MILLIONAIRE @ UCB 5.7.09

May 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

So due to the weather, but mostly laziness, I haven’t been writing about any of the shows I’ve been to lately.  But that changes right here, right now.  Last night I saw Jenny Slate’s one woman show: “Jenny Slate: DEAD MILLIONAIRE” and loved it!  Jenny is not only one of the host’s of one of my favorite stand up shows ever: Big Terrific (now at Cameo in Williamsburg), but she also appears on a lot of VH1 shows making fun of celebrities doing ridiculous stuff. 

jennyslate

The show was based on “eccentric millionaire Jenny Slate’s ‘I’m Dead Now Party’” AKA her funeral.  She has left 300 million dollars to her Bichon Frise and the whole world waits to hear who inherits the dog.  The show goes back in forth between friends/family/Gloria Estefan talking about what Jenny meant to them, and Jenny’s video will.  The characters in attendance range from her lawyer, Ruth Diamond Phillips, to her blind and stupid cousin Gina, to her nerdy niece Misty, and even Gloria Estefan makes an appearance.  All of the guests are completely different, interesting and hilarious in their own way and are all performed by Jenny Slate.  By the end of the show, we not only learn a lot about each of these characters and Jenny herself, but also we find out who the lucky new owner of the dog and the $300 million is!

The entire show made me feel like I was watching a really good episode of Saturday Night Live, but with just one sketch.  Her characters were all hilarious and unique.  I would recommend that everyone go to the next performance of “Jenny Slate: DEAD MILLIONAIRE” on May 21st, 2009 at 8 PM.  It only costs $5!  Also there is another show, BriTANick: The Infinity Prison, right after, which your admission also covers.

OMFG: The Fashion Police Gave Her a Medal

Like, OMG, I totes can’t believe how hot this new trend for summer is!?!  If I could choose one piece of clothing to wear for the rest of my life, and never change it, or never even wash it once, this would be it BY FAR! 

OMG Someone Call House of Style ASAP!

OMG Someone Call House of Style ASAP!

I know what you’re thinking, “Pshhh what is this total poser talking ’bout…like who wears jackets in the summer PSHHH?!?”  Well guess what bitch, everyone except you, starting immediately after this post gets published…so BOOYAH!  Who is stupid now?  The answer is you. 

Anyway as if being totally warm and sweaty in the summer months doesn’t totally float your boat, wearing 15 patterns at a time TOTES will!  I mean has matching ever been easier?  If you’re wearing every color, you can’t not match.  AM I RIGHT???  And if you’re anti-matching, then this new fashion trend has another fabulous attribute for you to fall in love with everyday: a portrait of a grey-haired GWEN STEFANI!  You can totes be like ‘OMG Brandon, I’m going to Harijuku all over your ass’.  Brandon won’t know what you’re talking about because he’s clearly not down with the most diggity slang like me, and also he’s imaginary.

the real story of easter eggs

April 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 The once was a time-traveler from the future.  His name was Jesus.  His favorite thing to do was to go back to ancient times and fuck with all the more simpleminded people that inhabited that time.  He especially liked, the now commonplace, turning water into wine trick.  The people ate that shit up and Jesus hated to disappoint a crowd.  

After-all in the future, little Jesus was just a regular ass dude, but he could convince these people he was the sun of god.  And he liked that.  So our good friend Jesus decided that he wasn’t such a big fan of how the future turned out for him so he began to preach about loving everyone and all that jazz.  And before he knew it, his name started popping up everywhere in the future.  He was confused, however, by the necklaces people wore that looked like him dead on a cross, but he chalked that up to a creative, albeit morbid, designer.  Anyway back to the story.   

Our good friend Jesus was just minding his business and preaching all sorts of jibber-jabber around town and it seemed that everything was going great.  Unfortunately when you’re on top there will always be haters.  And as we all know, those creative and morbid necklaces were actually more prophetic than Jesus could have known.  Jesus was brutally killed, tortured and eventually crucified.  

But the believers kept believing in their savior Jesus.  They believed so hard it made them constipated, but they didn’t even care.  They were willing to never poop again if Jesus would just return to them.  So they prayed and they didn’t poop for days and days and days.  Until one day, the town crazy (this was before the era of crack, but picture a crackhead…also we’ll call him Scrappy) pooped his pants, and as he looked up to see if anyone noticed he saw what looked like Jesus, but not as bloody as the last time he saw him and also, more see through.  Scrappy leaped up and hugged Jesus.  Jesus slowly backed out of the embrace because afterall Scrappy had just crapped his pants.  

“I’m a ghost, but don’t worry I’m not a scary ghost!”, Jesus exclaimed!  And as he looked at ol’ Scrappy he realized that everyone needed love.  Even a bum like Scrappy.  And in Scrappy’s eyes, he saw himself, before he had ever traveled to the past to make people like him.  So he held out his arms to Scrappy and embraced him.  Jesus shook him so hard that the turds in Scrappy’s pants all fell to the ground.  Scrappy looked up apologetically at Jesus, but Jesus said “Don’t worry Scrappy, you just laid some eggs, that’s all”.  Scrappy smiled because in all his years of pooping his pants, no one ever had understood like Jesus did.  As Jesus started to walk away, Scrappy begged,  ”Please come back for me Jesus!” And Jesus promised he would return to him on this very day next year.
Three-hundred sixty-four days passed by and Scrappy was so excited.  In the past year he had cleaned up his act a little bit and was no longer the town loony.  He wanted to show Jesus all the progress he had made, so this year instead of pooping his pants for Jesus, he decided he would take Jesus’ words to heart and this year upon Jesus’ return he would present him with a basket of eggs.  Scrappy had saved all his earnings to afford these eggs and wanted to make sure everyone knew they were for Jesus, so he painted Jesus’ name on the eggs.  And when he was done he decided they looked a little drab, so he kept painting until all the eggs were beautiful.  

Jesus kept his promise and did return  to Scrappy on the three-hundred and sixty-fifth day. When Jesus saw the progress Scrappy had made in just one short year he felt tingly all over.  Scrappy told Jesus he wanted to continue the tradition they had shared the previous year.  As Scrappy reached for a basket, Jesus was afraid it would be a basket of poop, but when he looked inside he saw the painted eggs.  Jesus had never been so touched by any gesture in his life (or death for that matter) and quickly embraced Scrappy.  

Years later, the trend still continued.  Children the world over painted eggs on the day of Jesus’ return from the grave.  And the tradition is still active today.  So this year when you’re painting your eggs, thank Scrappy for not giving Jesus a basket of carrots or something less fun to paint.  Happy Easter folks!

Two Products That Will Revolutionize the Way We Drive FOREVER

April 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Sometimes I suck at driving, or am lost, or I’m on my phone, or eating something…well there are many instances when I’m not up to par with some of the really cool assholes who like to drive 1 1/2 inches behind my car in the hopes that I will stop short and we can have a screaming match about whose fault it is (theirs), and eventually one of us will be shot with a cross bow.  But now there are two new products that will bring the number or road rage related crossbow murders down to a record low!

Hitch HandsThe first product is called ‘Hitch Hands’.  This product allows you to use sign language to get your point across without turning around and crashing your car in the process.  Some great examples are the ever-popular middle finger, and probably the least likely to be used: the ’I Love You’ in sign language.  You simply put these little hands over top of your trailer hitch (Note to self: get trailer hitch) and viola!  Just wait for the magic to happen!

 

plate flipperThe second amazing and revolutionary product serves almost the same purpose, but is for those of us who can read, but can’t understand sign language.  This product is called the ‘Plate Flipper’.  This ingenius invention allows your liscense plate to move electronically (ooh it’s the future) to reveal a hidden message.  The message can be anything from your phone number, something dirty, something about driving, maybe your ex’s phone number, really the possibilities are endless, as long as you can read.  Although I guess if you can’t read, someone could just help you, but anyway.  This magical device can really get your point across, again without causing an accident.  But you should be careful what you write because some people are crazy and might follow you to a rest stop and shoot you with a cross bow anyway.  Oh also this invention can be used to avoid paying tolls because the cameras won’t be able to take a picture of your plates.  So versitile!

Please Invent This: The Poo-tress

April 5, 2009 · 1 Comment

 

step 2: mattress

step 1: toilet

So…today I am hungover.  My brain feels like it is too large for my skull and it’s not cool.  I’m laying in bed and also have to pee.  This is causing a big debate in my head.  Is it better to pee my pants (and my bed) or to get out of my bed?  Generations of great thinkers have struggled with this question.  My idea is for someone to invent a matress that doubles as a toilet.  Basically there would be some kind of hole that you can just slide your ass over and pee without even sitting up (for men I suppose they would have to flip over).  It sounds gross because how would you wipe?  Duh it’s ALSO a baday.  Also it would be soft like a mattress.

step 2: mattress

step 2: mattress

So if you are an inventor, or really if you are just less lazy than I am, please help me make my vision a reality, also we have a very small time frame before I actually pee the bed, so can you invent it within the next 10 minutes?  K thanks bye.

‘Rescue Me Comedy Tour featuring Denis Leary’ 4.2.09

April 3, 2009 · 1 Comment

c'mon baby light my fire

c'mon baby light my fire

Last night I the ‘Rescue Me Comedy Tour featuring Denis Leary’ at Radio City Music Hall.  While I am aware of Denis Leary, I really didn’t know much about him, so I was not sure what exactly to expect.  The show started by the president of FX giving a little background about the show ‘Rescue Me’, which I had never seen before.  What happened next was totally unexpected by me.  They played the season premiere (appearing on April 7th on FX) of ‘Rescue Me’.  At first I was really confused as to why we paid $75 a ticket to watch TV, and to be honest kind of pissed.  But then I gave in and started to watch the show and actually really enjoyed it, almost forgetting I had intended to see some stand-up comedy.

But after ‘Rescue Me’ ended, that’s when the real show began (in my opinion).  The curtains opened, showing a full band, complete with back up singers.  Denis Leary rose up from a secret compartment below the stage and began singing a song about celebrities and rehab in a calypso style.  The song was complimented by large video screens featuring, in a karaoke style, the lyrics, as well as photographs of celebrities at their lowest moments.  After that, Leary spoke of critics who felt the ‘Rehab’ song was mean-spirited and mentioned he decided to write a nice song for those critics.  The song made me feel like I was in a lounge in the 1950s and the song was nicely titled “Fuck You” and was great.  He did his set, which was hilarious–mentioning everything from hormones in Hollywood to being caught by two old ladies while jerking off in a jacuzzi at a health spa.

Three other comedians joined Leary for the ‘Rescue Me Comedy Tour’: Nick DiPaolo, Lenny Clarke and Adam Ferrara.  All of which, were absolutely amazing.  It’s hard for me to think of my favorite moments for each of these guys because literally everything each of them said was laugh out loud funny.  The ‘Rescue Me Comedy Tour’ will be going around the country so I really suggest that you reserve your tickets today because the show was just fantastic.  Check out upcoming tour dates here

In addition to being a fantastic show, all the proceeds went to The Leary Fire Fighters Foundation, which has donated over $10 million toward equipment that firefighters across the United States desperately need.  Toward the end of the show some brave members of the FDNYjoined Leary on the stage to present him with an honorary fireman’s jacket to thank him for all he’s done to help firefighters.  Leary closed the show by singing his famous song ‘Asshole’, which was wonderful.  Thanks to the magic of the internet you can watch last night’s performance of asshole below!
