Yeah, but where else are you going to find "Le Jake" being snarky as hell... Only in the "Season 23 Information Thread" of course!

**Jesse Pinkman** · 11-12-2011, 09:05 PM

i haven't watched any of the clips from the food wife{i want to just wait and watch the whole episode}, but it doesn't seem like it'll be... what's the word? good.

**lionelhutz123** · 11-13-2011, 12:43 AM

I don't know what's worse, the material or matt selman trying to explain the material. Anyway that was a rough interview to sit through.

Either he just admitted the puns and parodies were purposely bad, or he was embarassed.

Selman, 2008:

"Here’s a goofy thing that makes the internet want to commit suicide. In this show, we are completely inconsistent about using parody superheroes and real ones. This show mentions dozens of actual superheroes, like Superman and Wonder Woman, as well as creating paper-thin imitations, like the Thung (the Thing) and the Mulk (The Hulk). (Originally conceived, the Thung and Mulk were supposed to be blue and red, but somehow they ended up classic orange and green.) For some reason, it delights us to no end to make our parodies of things the laziest parodies in the world."

LOL WHAT?! So all this time when everybody was complaining about Mypods and Funtendo Zii...

**lionelhutz123** · 11-13-2011, 10:19 AM

Yeah, we care about the show so much a goof will want us to commit suicide.

**Toomanygrandmas** · 11-13-2011, 12:13 PM

So Tim and Eric perform a food rap song in the show — an extremely silly rap song, and the name is intentionally silly: "Blogging a Food Blog."

It's sort of vaguely based on "Empire State of Mind" as our starting-off point. I just wanted to be shamelessly goofy with this. These are the lyrics — I'm very self-conscious reading them out loud.

I'm throwing down mad foodie game, knowing all the chefs' names
Rolling into K-Town for beepin' boppin' bulgogi
The hotties I chill with are sriracha and kimchee

So it's all bragging about how awesome and cool you are as a foodie.

Housemade terrines, my ducks are always confit
I braise with a billion more BTUs than I need
I cook a Thanksgiving turkey in a trash-bag, sous vide
Afumatoare in Brindisi Fed-Exes me salami
Don't scoop me gelato unless it's got umami

And then it gets really insane, are you ready?

I'll be "Frank" like Bruni, "Ruthless" like Reichl
"Wiley" like Dufresne, and when I take the mike, I'll
Rhyme about radicchio, criticize Colicchio
Every pub is gastro, and all my beef carpaccio

I mean, that's really goofy.

Matt Selman sure loves using the word goofy (and to a lesser extent, 'silly'). It's a shame that 'goofy' isn't a synonym for funny, otherwise we could actually be looking forward to a good episode tonight.

The videogame E4 thing wasn't very funny. I probably will actually get the joke in it though, compared to the culinary related jokes (I know nowt about the world of celebrity chefs). Let's see how this episode turns out.

**Financial Panther** · 11-13-2011, 01:17 PM

Wait is this a joke? Did Selman actually say that?

**horatio huffnagel** · 11-13-2011, 05:52 PM

Can any one here tell me if there has been an official date set for the airing of the 500th episode? I wanna have a party for it and would like to be able to tell my friends when to take off. This information would be greatly appreciated.

**Jesse Pinkman** · 11-13-2011, 05:55 PM

february 19, 2012 is the date i remember reading.

**Handsome B. Wonderful** · 11-13-2011, 05:59 PM

**Agent Polar** · 11-13-2011, 08:31 PM

**WeaselStomper** · 11-14-2011, 01:04 PM

According to his Twitter, Patton Oswalt just recorded an episode

**horatio huffnagel** · 11-14-2011, 01:31 PM

If your in the northeast area of wisconsin at that time, you are most welcome to come friz. Why is that eww polar and toy story? I don't get it.

Northeast Wisconsin...EWWW! (At least you have Golden Corral nearby.)

**horatio huffnagel** · 11-14-2011, 05:02 PM

The corral is sweet jake. You can't dog a fellow wisconsinite though man. We need to stick together.

500th episode is going to be generally terrible, therefore the eww's.

However... If anybody wants to arrange a viewing party for the 500th episode in California; do so. I'm hoping there are at least some fellow NHC'ers in the socal area.

**Jesse Pinkman** · 11-14-2011, 05:29 PM

but it's the 500th episode, that right there automatically earns it at least a 4/5

**Oh, that's raspberry!** · 11-14-2011, 05:38 PM

Nothing earns any episode anything before the air date but speculation and possibly viewership. I will be very interested in seeing how many people actually watch 500. I wonder when FOX will start promoting it on air. I would hope ea
