*The video itself is fine but there may be some other NSFW stuff on the page*

Most obvious fake on the internet?  I am sure it is coincidental that the characters move into the camera FOV each time they have a line to say.

Too Many Cooks

Damn you!  I will never get that song out of my head now.

I actually had something like this happen to me.  I agreed to meet a friend at the Vienna Inn for lunch one Sunday at noon.  I showed up, waited in vain for 20 minutes, decided he wasn't going to show, ordered, and ate.  I was in the parking lot headed for my car when he showed up.  Turns out he was on time, because DST had ended that morning.  Who knew?

The staff of the Vienna Inn didn't know, because it doesn't even open until noon on Sundays!

For the law talkers: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/28/opinion/verbatim-what-is-a-photocopier.html

This kind of thing happens quite a bit, usually because a lawyer has been over-aggressive in preparing a witness.

Here's an example from a depo I took recently (names, etc redacted):
Q: On [date] did you meet X?
[Opposing lawyer : Objection]
A:  You're not phrasing the question properly
Q: Okay.  How would you understand it?
A: Well, we met.  We didn't have a meeting.
Q: Okay.  Did you go see him?
A: No I didn't go see him.  That's - you're not phrasing the question properly.
A: We didn't go there to see X
Q: Did you see him?
A: Did I see him when?
Q: Did you in sometime in [date] meet - see
A: See
Q: have a conversation with
A: Is it meet or see?
[Opposing lawyer: Wait a minute.  Let him finish the question]
Q: Do we need to get a dictionary out?
[Some colloquy with opposing lawyer follows]
A: Sorry could you please rephrase your question
Q: Yes
Q: In [date] did you go to the offices of [place]
A: Yes
[Five pages of questions follows establishing his presence and the presence of X at location at the same time]
Q: During that time, did you have any contact with X?
A: Yes.

Whole Chicken in a Can. WTF America?

I have never seen that in any store I've been to.

It's to be used as a broth or stock, not as a fucking meal. 

Christ, are the English pretentious fucking assholes.  And with their diet, they've got fucking room to talk.  Fuck your blood pudding.

To be fair, Ashens slams all kinds of (canned) food, including English stuff, like the things you can get at their equivalent of dollar stores.

I'm glad he's affluent enough to be able to go and buy fresh food and produce every day in support of the local food movement.

Hear Hear. I survived on Spam, Potted Meat and Vienna sausages in the hard times.

For Ide, on the good 'ol days. 

It kinda amazes me that we used to be able to pay for/afford all that shit...the idea of doing so would be incomprehensible in today's dollars.

Also, all the Airmen wearing suit & tie service dress uniforms every day(unless they all just had to dress up for the film)....that had to be unbearably uncomfortable.

I'm taking it as a given that he pretends, each video, that he has never seen prepared foods before, and that each time he encounters one, it is "disgusting."

He's not wrong, per se; it's just that all foods are disgusting before they are prepared for consumption.  Carrots and taters, for instance, are both disgustingly dirty until you clean them.

Still, it is an amusing schtick, and I don't think it is intended as an actual serious food review.  I enjoyed it for what it was.

Need to show that to my dad & see if it stirs up any old memories.  He wasn't in SAC but served in Greenland and at a Nike missile site in the early 60s.
