It’s probably safe to say that after airplane/airport routines and maybe relationship travails, a solid 10-minute diatribe about a food item’s transcendent brilliance or the horrific tragedy of its existence is a go-to topic upon which a stand-up can sharpen his or her talents.
Case in point — Patton Oswalt’s infamous evisceration of KFC’s Famous Bowls — eventually pronouncing the sickening concoction as a “failure pile in a sadness bowl” — still ranks as one of the signature bits of his now legendary comedic arsenal.
With that much material to choose from, it was easy for our pals over at Thrillist to assemble their own list of the 5 best stand up routines about food and drink.
For the sake of argument, I’m going to assume the Famous Bowl rant was retired out of pure awesomeness, but Thrillist was able to find 5 other brilliant dissections of food and what it means to us all from some of the funniest guys on the planet.
