TVgasm - Food Network: It's a Giada Disaster!!

Ever wonder what would happen if one of our favorite Food Network chefs created something they actually didn't like? Well, we were lucky enough to witness such an event when Giada De Laurentiis of Everyday Italian attempted to make some sort of sorbet. She claimed on the air that her facial expressions of disgust and malaise were merely a reaction to the icy treat, but we know better. Behold the Great Giada Disaster of 2006.

Giada eagerly anticipates the first taste of her cranberry sorbet. What culinary splendors await??

giadaiceb
Here we go!

giadaicec
"Mmmmm..."

giadaiced
"Wait a second. This doesn't taste right."

giadaicee
"I think I've made a huge mistake."

giadaicef
"Oh dear lord."

giadaiceh
"OH DEAR LORD!!"

giadaicei
"Must... be... brave..."

giadaicej
Never willing to admit a mistake, Giada reluctantly goes in for another taste.

giadaicek
"How did I do this? I'm so stupid! STUPID STUPID STUPID!!"

giadaicel
"I mean, it tastes like salty barnacles."

giadaicem
"I'm in such a f*ckin' bad mood now."

giadaicen
"I mean... this is really good! See! I'm smiling!"

giadaiceo
"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!!"

giadaicep
"It actually burns. Seriously, someone call a medic. MEDIC!!"

giadaiceq
"It's as if Lucifer himself has served me a slushy!"

giadaicer
"I'm ruined!"

giadaices
"Mommy."

giadaicet
But as always, Giada rebounds with her trademark smile. Can't keep her down for long!

The best one has to be #4â€”Wait a second. This doesn't taste right. I almost coughed up my gnocchi, if you know what I mean.

Posted by: m_ruv | January 6, 2006 6:07 PM(#6 of 40)

OMG-priceless. Best play-by-play I've ever read.

The Bandit agrees with the Svan.

Oh my god, that is hilarious! I'd love to see it animated!

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.

Posted by: ShimmyShea | January 6, 2006 7:43 PM(#10 of 40)

This is so great. I really thought she was gonna puke. Hell, I gagged myself. What a trooper, saving face and going back for more.

Is it trouper? I don't want to get the Spelling Gestapo's panties in a twist when they are getting ready for a night on the town. I have no clue... About anything.

"Giada rebounds with her trademark smile"

I've always told everyone I know... the woman doesn't smile, she just bears her teeth. It's creepy. But excellent post!

it's like lucifer just served me a big sloppy tvgasm!

Posted by: Leah3t | January 6, 2006 9:02 PM(#14 of 40)

I think it's "trouper", LQ, but then I have a couple drinks in me.

I agree with m_ruv, #4 is best.

What was IN that crud? And why didn't she whomp up a test batch?

Posted by: lurkertype | January 6, 2006 9:29 PM(#15 of 40)

My sides are splitting! I agree, this is the best.post.ever!! It looks like she is really thinking these exact thoughts. This has to be better than a video clip, but I would love to see that, too. Thanks, B-Side.

Posted by: RealityTV4Me | January 6, 2006 9:29 PM(#16 of 40)

Oh, man...I'm hysterical. I am totally Tivoing Everyday Italian in the hope that I can witness this in person. Thank you thank you thank you. "It burns!"

Posted by: Lauren | January 6, 2006 9:32 PM(#17 of 40)

This and live blogging the Tony's are my favorites. Dear Lord, it looks like she has permanent brain freeze!
I'm ruined.

OMG that totally KICKS ROCKS! How funnyyyy...

I just watched it....OUTSTANDING!! (Thanks for the heads-up). In a sense, though, it was a little stranger to hear Michael Chiarello (is that Italian for "in the closet"?)talking about "shaving his Peccorino" in the episode of his show that followed Giada.

Posted by: LensmancT | January 7, 2006 10:43 AM(#20 of 40)

Pure genius. Thank you, B-Side, thank you.

Posted by: mountain_girl | January 7, 2006 12:29 PM(#21 of 40)

I have never enjoyed a TVgasm post more.

Posted by: DiRan | January 7, 2006 10:01 PM(#22 of 40)

wow - WOW! i was laughing so hard i had to get up, walk for a bit, drink a glass of water, and breathe heavily until it subsided.... and that was only half-way into the post - thank you!

Posted by: DickeyD | January 7, 2006 10:37 PM(#23 of 40)

B-Side - I can't believe you completely skipped over the best part of this episode. At the very beginning, Giada is coating a chicken with salt and pepper, and at one point it looks like she's giving hand-release to the drumstick. Great stuff. (If you have this saved on TiVo, please post some pics!)

Keep up the good work B-Side. My wife has a strange crush on you thanks to your hilarious recaps...

Posted by: samlub | January 8, 2006 7:55 AM(#24 of 40)

I love you more than life itself.

"It actually burns. Seriously, someone call a medic. MEDIC!!"

It gets funnier every time I read it. And it keeps drawing me back. A true classic.

Posted by: mountain_girl | January 8, 2006 3:32 PM(#28 of 40)

It burns!!

BRAVISSIMO!! sp?

Posted by: mcsquared65 | January 8, 2006 7:40 PM(#29 of 40)

Must go pee promptly from laughter-induced urinary urges. Hysterical.

Posted by: NewMedici | January 8, 2006 10:15 PM(#30 of 40)

Grazie!!! Best play by play ever! You made my day! Please keep the food network stuff coming, I am so addicted now!

Posted by: Jackers | January 9, 2006 4:48 AM(#31 of 40)

That was the funniest shit I have seen in a long time. Genius! Pure Genius!!

Posted by: jelodi97 | January 9, 2006 5:03 AM(#32 of 40)

I feel that it is my duty to quote my personal hero, Ralph Wiggum: "Tastes...like...burning."

Posted by: HicksPub | January 9, 2006 11:21 AM(#33 of 40)

That was freaking hilarious! It gets funnier every time I read it. HicksPub comment cracked me up too.

Posted by: OD-TV | January 9, 2006 12:07 PM(#34 of 40)

OMG. Sitting at my desk. Tears welling in eyes. Beginning to fall... desperately trying maintain 'workface'. FAILING. That was freakin' HYSTERICAL.

OMG I'm dyin' here! I'm with you, elagain! I'm sitting here at my desk trying not to laugh TOO loud, hoping no one walks by. That was freakin' hysterical!
