At the start of the 2010 Miss America pageant on Saturday, the introduction portion of the show lets contestants come out and give an upbeat intro for their state, which usually consists of something along the lines of “I’m XXXX from the great state of XXXX home of [insert famous food, product, company, celebrity, historical [...]

Taco Bell has unveiled a new offering which they are calling the  “NBA $5 Buck Box.”  Someone should explain to Taco Bell that the $ symbol represents the word “dollar” so they don’t need to also include the word “buck” in the name.   Think about it, the proper name of this product when said correctly [...]

Given the chatter and buzz about an upcoming anti-abortion Super Bowl ad starting Tim Tebow, Upright Citizens Brigade took it upon themselves to imagine what a commercial featuring the University of Florida star hawking Dorito’s might look like.

Rad Omen. Who are they again? I have no idea either. Their Twitter and MySpace accounts are totally inactive, but apparently they are some sort band/group/music collective.   Regardless of who the hell they are, their latest video, for their song “Rad Anthem”, directed by  Nicholaus Goossen (who was the director of “Grandma’s Boy” and [...]

On the Tonight Show, Conan puts his own spin on a classic Johnny Carson “falling domino’s” routine – by doing it with 40 Domino’s Pizza employees:

(Disclosure: As I’ve mentioned before, I do social media consulting for Domino’s, but this clip is too amusing for me not to post!)

This one totally slid under my radar until I saw it mentioned by a fellow food blogger, but this is right up So Good’s ally.  Epic Portions sets the stage:
So how terrible would this be: you’ve been taken prisoner in North Korea. You don’t know when you’re coming home – you could rot in jail [...]

The Onion skewers Taco Bell, with a terrific video about the company’s “Green Menu.”  Why is it Green? Because it “takes no ingredients from nature.”

Update #2: Since many people don’t seem to believe that Quiznos didn’t play a role, or at least didn’t have an understanding that the video was being made, I placed a call to Playboy to see if they could shed some light on Quiznos involvement (or lack of involvement) in regards to this video. Here [...]

I know, I know, more bacon products. I’m as sick of them as you are. Good lord though, how could I not mention this? I don’t have any snarky comments about people “porking” or your next session in the sack being “sizzling.”  I think the absurdity of this product speaks for itself. Insert your own [...]

Wow. This one totally slipped past me. I was reading the AdAge Viral Video chart for last week and noticed that a video from Cadbury called “Cadbury Eyebrows” was #3.  Apparently the video already has more than 3.3 million views on YouTube, but since it’s not airing on television here in the U.S. it’s probably [...]

As a humor/food blog, almost all my posts relate to food in some capacity. However, every once in a while there’s something funny and comedic I like to highlight with only a tenuous link to food. My buddy Seaton Smith, a comic here in Washington, DC, has just released the first episode of a great [...]

The BK King, rapping, dancing, and getting DOWN to the lyrics,  “I like square butts and I cannot lie.”  Part of the new marketing campaign for Burger King kids meals with a Spongebob Square Pants toy.  What do you think of the ad?

Friends of mine know that I have a love/hate view of Jim Gaffigan.  Three years ago, I had to permanently retire a joke from my stand-up routine because during an “All New” stand-up special on Comedy Central he performed a joke whose wording and set-up was almost word-for-word the same as a joke I had [...]
