[[Catch Phrase\|What'you know about cooking]]? Breakfast!

Their YouTube channel is at [~~http~~https://~~epicmealtime~~www.youtube.com/user/EpicMealTime ~~website~~EpicMealTime] ~~is at last up and running~~. They have made an appearance on [[The Tonight Show\|Jay Leno]], where they made a shepherd's pie that was also a car. {{tropelist}} * [[AcCENT Upon the ~~Wrong SylLABle\|AcCENT Upon The~~ Wrong SylLABle]] - All the time: "Epic Meal Time dessert eDItion." "Bacon STRIPS." "Jack Dagnel's SAUce." "Ahwahtup, McMuhfain, MOUWN-TAIN!" * [[Affectionate Parody]] - "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbBCWZue57M Vegan Meal Time]", while containing no meat or animal products, has a vegan dish that can only be described as epic. Oh, and [[Shout -Out\|seaweed strips]]. [[Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time]], which ups the [[Large Ham]] factor so much that it somehow makes Harley Morenstein and Co. look subdued and professional in comparison. A team of mild-mannered Brits give us "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViQmXmHg1fE Pathetic Meal Time]", a thorough de-hamming (only in the acting ~~sense-- in~~sense—in terms of the meal created, they are indeed hamming it up) of EMT's brand.

[[The Annoying Orange\|Annoying Orange]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B9Pu6ixZ3o Epic Peel Time]. * [[A God Am I]] - Invoked in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGw5ip2EokY Puzzle of the Lambs]", where they play God and make a "[[Eldritch Abomination\|culinary abomination]]". Line 25 ⟶ 26: ** Neither does anyone else, especially Muscles Glasses. * [[Alcohol Hic]] - In "Breakfast of Booze": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Next time, we eat a ''cult''. ... hic!"}} * [[All There in the Manual]] - The (nick)names of most of the cast are only seen on their respective [[~~Face Book~~Facebook]]/[[Twitter]] pages: Sterling Toth, the cameraman (was with Harley on Leno). Tyler Lemco, who ate the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCROpchUjQI Meatball Deathstar]". Line 35 ⟶ 36: * [[And a Diet Coke]] - During Harley and Sterling's appearance on The Jay Leno Show, they and Jay make a shepherd's pie together, during which Jay says, "You know what goes good with this? A Diet Coke." * [[Anyone Can Die]] - Muscles Glasses {{quote\| '''Harley''': "And, uh, we got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}62f6_1Dn_Es some glasses]...as a little commemoration to, uh, one of our lost members. He is dead now. No joke, he's actually dead."}} ** [[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]] - Muscles Glasses * [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] - Harley, after ordering a Baconator and fries in a Wendy's drive-thru, is told the drink would only be twenty cents more. {{quote\| "Your drink will be?" "[[Funny Moments\|Fresca]]."}} "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYffV7qhvTc 84 Egg Sandwich]" (and a blueberry muffin) "Fast Food Lasagna" features them buying 15 McDonald's Big Macs, a liter of Big Mac Sauce, fifteen Wendy's Baconators, fifteen A&W Teen Burgers (no vegetables!), and four orders of onion rings...and an apple pie...make that four apple pies (Harley gave the apple pies to a mother for her kids). Line 44 ⟶ 45: * [[Awesome McCoolname]] - '''Muscles Glasses''' To a lesser extent, Cousin Dave's "Mean Muggin, the Egg Crackin' Kraken". Harley Mortenstein, aka [[Not That Kind of Doctor\|the Doctor of Dressing]], aka [[Ancient Egypt\|the Pharoah of Flavour]], aka [[The Men of Downing Street\|the Minister of Mixture]], aka [[French Cuisine Is Haughty\|the Connoisseur of Condiments]], aka [[The Don\|the Don of the Drippin']], aka the [[Jeff Goldblum]] of [[Overly Long Gag\|the Internet]], [[I Have Many Names\|aka]] [[Funetik Aksent\|the Sawce Bawce]]. * [[Badass Beard]] - Harley's grew in during the run of the series. * [[Bacon Addiction]] - Because everything's better with bacon strips. And bacon strips. And bacon strips. [[Running Gag\|And bacon strips]]. Line 50 ⟶ 51: * [[Big Damn Heroes]] - At the start of "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzDxTNiCpWM Fast Food Meatloaf]" * [[Big Eater]] - This shouldn't require an explanation. {{quote\| '''Harley''': "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}VHPB7v_dp2k Four-cheese ravioli, Chef Boyardee Ravioli in ravioli, trifecta-liqour-meat sauce, cheesy-meat jolly balls] and four of the hungriest mother[[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]]s that ever ate on the internet!"}} * [[Big No]] - One of the crew in the background at the end of "The Sloppy Roethlisburger", when Harley accidentally slams and cracks the bottom of a bottle of Jack Daniels. * [[Bilingual Bonus]] - The text on the title card of "Fast Food Sushi".<ref>"ファストフードのお寿司ぶっかけ", which roughly translates to "Fast food no sushi bukkake"</ref>. ** In "Epic Indian Experience", the waiter translates Harley's description of the dishes. * [[~~BLAM~~Non Sequitur Episode]] - "Drunken Mess", where the cast just bombs around Montreal partying it up and hanging out with random people. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yttA7YkWdr0 Zombie Meal Time]" (though that actually has cooking in it...of animal brains) "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ITsGZJustI Meat Cthulhu]" Line 61 ⟶ 62: * [[Breakout Character]] - Muscles Glasses. As if it wasn't apparent in the videos, he's the only cast member in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mJsDAap4a0 EpicMealTime LIVE]" to receive ''his own introduction sequence''. * [[Call Back]] - "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrbv81SBHg Maximum Mac and Cheese]" featured macaroni and cheese variants of no less than five previous dishes. "Meat Cthulhu" not only brought back [[~~Deadmau 5~~Deadmau5]], but the episode used the song "Cthulhu Sleeps", one of two songs previously used in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKJgcEgvx4U Cheesy Grilled Cheese Tower]". To mark their [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqhVhlEzZbw one-year anniversary], the guys bought over 150 White Castle hamburgers and used it as pizza toppings to create a "Fast Food Pizza Cake", just like their first meal "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz2SxGNy-Mw Fast Food Pizza]", except bigger and using new cooking tricks they learned over the year, such as deep-frying and bacon weaves. ** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAjhG09X9YA Turbaconepicentipede]. Just like the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ TurBaconEpic], except ten of them...[[The Human Centipede\|sewn anus to mouth]]. Line 67 ⟶ 68: * [[Canada, Eh?]] - Muscles Glasses' dad is a lumberjack for crying out loud. ** [[Mistaken Nationality]] - More than a few first time viewers assume the cast are American. No guesses as to why. * [[Catch Phrase]] - "What'you know about ''x''?!" "[[The Stinger\|Next time]], [[Every Episode Ending\|we eat]] ''[[The Stinger\|x]]''". "Next level ''x'' maneuver/technique!" Line 79 ⟶ 80: ** More recently: "''Epic Meal Time'' online cooking show every Tuesday!" (said by Harley to start each episode, once the gang is in the kitchen). * [[Chainsaw Good]] - Harley uses one in "Meatball Deathstar": {{quote\| '''Harley''': '''EVERY TUESDAY: EPIC MEAL TIME!''' Comin' at you with a chainsaw and a big pile o'meat! If you ain't down with that...'''THEN YOU AIN'T DOWN WITH COOKING!!!'''}} ** Another one is used in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcdkRxJcLrI Meat Shield]" against a dummy dressed in bacon, pot roast, pepperoni and ribs. * [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]] - The two girls who were recurring characters on the show (beginning with "Massive Meat Log") haven't appeared in the videos anymore. "Fast Food Meatloaf" even had different girls play the roles that would normally be filled by them. Line 89 ⟶ 90: ** The chefs and the waiter in "Epic Indian Experience". * [[Crossover]], [[Special Guest]] - With [[Freddie Wong\|Freddie]] "[http://www.youtube.com/user/freddiew freddiew]" [[Freddie Wong\|Wong]] in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtWPW8yJtgM Epic VFX Time]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayi_FUlsqX0 West Coast Burger Pile]" (alongside [http://www.youtube.com/user/CorridorDigital Corridor Digital]). With DJ/producer [[~~Deadmau 5~~Deadmau5]] in "Cheesy Grilled Cheese Tower" and "Meat Cthulhu". With synthpop singer/songwriter [[Lights]] in "Fast Food Meatloaf". With FPSRussia in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMyPD1VKk60 Russian Meal Time]", "Meat Shield", and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLpttwk4-FA Meat Ice Cream Party (Russian Meal Time Part 2)]." Line 98 ⟶ 99: With [[Gabriel Iglesias]] in "Fast Food Fluffy Cake." * [[Crowd Song]] - In "EpicMealTime LIVE": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "When I say "Muscles", you say "Glasses! '''MUSCLES'''!!"~~<br />~~ '''Crowd''': "'''GLASSES'''!!!"~~<br />~~ '''Harley''': "'''MUSCLES'''!!!"~~<br />~~ '''Crowd''': "'''GLASSES'''!!!" }} * [[Cultured Badass]] - Yes, Harley may spend most of his time hamming up new dinners in every possible sense of the word, but he also knows, on a scientific level, exactly why he does what he does with food, and exactly why that makes it taste better: humans are programmed by evolution to like fatty foods. ** From "Puzzle Of The Lambs": {{quote\| "[[Classical Mythology\|Cerberus]], the tri-head that guards the underworld."}} * [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?\|Did You Just Eat Cthulhu?]] - "Meat Cthulhu" * [[Doing It for ~~The~~the Art]] - Driving out to help Paolo cook his own epic meal? As Harley would say, "[[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]]IN' SMART!" * [[Double Entendre]] - In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYxO3Y-wOrM Tequila Taco Night]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Taco night is when we lay some beef in a pink taco...drip some guacamole...make her sour cream..."}} Also in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F1_04GLrPs Candy BBQ]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "...we're gonna give your sweet tooth a sexual root canal."}} From "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_n2ZHbbtRg Sausage Fest]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Canucks love their Kraft Mac & Cheese...and bacon, and igloos, and maple and beavers. (Snicker) Maple beavers..."}} At [[The Stinger]] for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKb1IeovH60 Bacon Tree]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Next time, we eat a cat burglar...or a pussy thief."}} Played straight at first in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYhDthbBrrU Meatzza]", but then subverted at the last second: {{quote\| '''Harley''': "SA-OOOSAGES! Some are big, some are small. All of them are nice and juicy...not to sound gay or anything..."}} * [[Drink Order]] - Jack Daniels, mother''([[Sound Effect Bleep\|caw!]])''!! * [[Drugs Are Bad]] - In "Sausage Fest", while making eggs, Harley states they're "Crackin' eggs like we crack smoke." He then suggests "Smoke crack?", but immediately answers "No, that's bad." * [[Early Installment Weirdness]] - "Fast Food Pizza" sees Harley not nearly as hammy (or rehearsed); it's just him and Muscles Glasses (who doesn't even keep his signature shades on most of the time and actually talked) eating a pizza loaded with hamburgers, chicken wings, fries, etc. ** Lampshaded in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HahGxIMlNFM Candy Poutine]" with a [[Call Back]] to the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQX2kC1jUB8 Angry French Canadian]" (which had poutine): {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Gosh, we used to be so damn polite. But the bacon made us crazy!! And by crazy, I mean smart!!"}} * [[Erotic Eating]] - Played straight with the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIzzx2OolfI Massive Meat Log]". And again with "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaKcl0Qg13o The Black Legend]". Combined with [[Spaghetti Kiss]] in "Tequila Taco Night", where [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot\|two girls]] share a strip of bacon. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in "Maximum Mac and Cheese" with no fewer than ''sixteen'' young attractive women participating in a massive banquet of over-the-top macaroni dishes. Played for laughs in the second deleted scenes video, where Harley strokes and kisses the Sloppy Roethlisburger. Line 133 ⟶ 134: *** Or perhaps he gave it because he ''IS'' the reason they went extinct. * [[Everything Is Better Deep Fried]] - Especially in beer batter. * [[Everything's Deader ~~With~~with Zombies]]/[[Zombie Apocalypse]] - Whichever trope "Zombie Meal Time" falls under depends on how you look at it: within the context of the episode, it appears to be the latter full-blown. However, when taking this episode in the context of the whole series, it's merely an example of the former. * [[Five-Man Band]] [[The Hero]] - Harley, who invented and hosts the show. Line 144 ⟶ 145: Note that one of the men is a trained chef. Think about that for a while. * [[Friend to All Children]] - Harley, who draws the line at dead baby jokes and gives apple pie to kids. * [[Funny Background Event]] - During ''Peanut Butter and Jelly Archetype'', there's a sequence where Harley shows all of the food they've made for the episode, complete with calories counters. While he's doing this, Muscles Glasses is standing right next to him, eating from a jar of Nutella in his pocket with a mixing spoon. * [[Genre Savvy]] - In "84 Egg Sandwich", Harley goes and orders close to 100 breakfast sandwiches from McDonald's. The employee manning the drive-thru station (correctly) guesses it's for an Epic Meal Time project. * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] - In "The Ostrich Nest": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "We got a whole bowl of ostrich eggs! On Epic Meal Time, we fist our ostrich eggs! (Camera pans to a bowl full of ostrich egg yolks) [[It Makes Sense in Context\|Look at me fist those chicks]]! (Harley literally dunks his fist to beat the egg yolks) [[It Makes Sense in Context\|Yeah, I'm fisting chicks]]...on the Internet...on Youtube."}} * [[Gingerbread House]] - "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rUEpmbdZLw OF MEAT AND CHEEZ WHIZ]! Merry Christmas." * [[Godwin's Law]]/[[Hitler Ate Sugar]] - "You know who else didn't like too much bacon? Hitler. And you don't want to be Hitler, do you? No. {{spoiler\|He's got stupid hair}}." * [[Guns and Gunplay Tropes]] - "Russian Meal Time" provides examples of: [[AKA -47]] - [[Lampshaded]] and averted by FPSRussia: {{quote\| '''FPSRussia''': "Okay, this is the MP5K. "K" stands for "Kompact" in German, don't give me bullshit: I know what the gun is."}} [[Everyone Is Armed]] - Played with: Muscles Glasses makes mashed potatoes while holding a submachine gun. [[Pistol -Whipping]] - Harley, Muscles Glasses and FPSRussia take turns tenderizing meat, the latter using a Desert Eagle to do it. [[Spent Shells Shower]] - Sort of: FPSRussia dribbles bullets out of his mouth at the end. [[Swiss Army Gun]] - Harley uses a rifle + bayonet as a skewer for around half a dozen hamburgers. Line 160 ⟶ 161: [[Wall of Weapons]] - At the gun store * [[Hilarious Outtakes]] - Two videos out outtakes so far, but one was included as [[The Stinger\|a stinger]]: {{quote\| '''Harley''': Changin' the game!~~<br />~~ ''(Harley slaps down a bottle of Jack Daniels...which is accompanied by a crack.)''~~<br />~~ '''Off-camera voice''': ''(as booze starts leaking)'' [[Oh Crap\|OHHH!]]~~<br />~~ ''(Harley picks up the bottle, just as the bottom of the bottle falls out.)''~~<br />~~ '''Harley''': Oh ''([[Sound Effect Bleep\|caw!]])''...~~<br />~~ '''Off-camera voice''': NOOOOO! }} * [[Hot -Blooded]] - The beginning of "Candy Pizza" confirms Harley as this. * [[Hypocritical Humor\|Hypocritical Humo]][[Canada, Eh?\|u]][[Hypocritical Humor\|r]] - Harley calls the audience perverts for wanting to watch a girl eat the "Massive Meat Log" ~~-- then~~—then the reverse angle shows him and all of his friends doing the exact same thing. * [[Improvised Clothes]] - A bacon bikini in the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tew4MAepQso Gentleman's Episode]". * [[Insistent Terminology]] - How Harley justifies the [[Product Placement]] during the meals: "We didn't sell out--''they'' bought ''in''." * [[Insult Backfire]] - Their official website links to a lambasting from [[Animal Wrongs Group\|PETA]] in their About section, indicating they may be proud of having pissed them off. * [[It Is Pronounced "Tro -PAY"]] - In "Candy Poutine", Cousin Dave corrects Harley's mixing-up of 'ganache' and Grenache brand caramel. When Harley does it again, saying "carmel" and Dave corrects him, he drops a [[Precision F-Strike]] on Dave. * [[Known Only By Their Nickname]] - Alex "Muscles Glasses" Perrault * [[Large Ham]] - Harley's one and he [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|proceeds to cook truckloads]]. * [[Malaproper]] - Harley opens with one in "Tequila Taco Night": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "I've been sippin' on that green and smokin' that liquor all day."}} * [[Male Gaze]] - There's a lot of cleavage in "The Black Legend". ** Also in "Maximum Mac and Cheese" and "Sausage Fest". * [[Mathematician's Answer]] - In "Meat Building 101", Paolo asks Tyler what kind of meat they used to build the Slaughterhouse. Tyler stumbles over his answer, but essentially tells him, "[[How Many All of Them\|All of the meat]]." * [[Ms. Fanservice]] - The girl from "[[Double Entendre\|Massive Meat Log]]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "[[Genre Savvy\|We all know]] that no one wants to see a douchebag eat a corndog, so we brought a little girl in for all you perverts!"}} They use another girl for "Fast Food Sushi"; they ''both'' come back for "The Black Legend". They, plus a horde of other hot girls, appear in "Maximum Mac and Cheese", "Drunken Mess" and "Sausage Fest". Line 186 ⟶ 187: * [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot\|Ninja Bacon Pirate Zombie Bacon Robot -- Bacon Edition]] ** Lampshaded in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS9cTjFFWow Mother's Day Special]: {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Some say we're the spawns of evil, meat-demon cyborgs. Well, we're not: we've got mother(caw!)ing moms...that are the spawns of evil, meat-demon cyborgs!"}} * [[Neck Lift]] - Muscles Glasses to two thieving thugs in "Fast Food Meatloaf". * [[Non Sequitur]] Line 193 ⟶ 194: "We're about to die for this. What'you know about dyin'?" "What up, meat sauce?" * [[Once an Episode]] - "[["On the Next..."\|Next time]], we eat ''x''!" where ''x'' is something outlandish or impossible to eat. Subverted in "The Slaughterhouse": "Next time, we eat ''dessert''!" Sure enough, the following week was "The Black Legend": two girls eating a gigantic crepe. Also subverted in "Epic H'our D'oeuvres": {{quote\| "Next time we eat bacon. [[Evil Laugh\|Mweheheh]]."}} Yet another subversion for "Sausage Fest": {{quote\| "Next time, we eat ice cream." (Cue all the girls cheering)}} In "12 Gauge Hot Dog", Harley says "Next time, we eat blood!" and in the next video, "Zombie Meal Time", Muscles Glasses takes a shot of Jack Daniels and blood. Averted in the first video, which ends with Muscles Glasses (sans glasses) raising his arms in the air triumphantly after eating. At the end of French Fry Salad: {{quote\| "Next time, we eat sell outs. Next time, we eat while selling out... Netflix.com/bacon."}} ** Subverted in "Candy Sushi": {{quote\| "Next time, we eat. We have to, or we'll die."}} * [[The Other Darrin]] - Played with: in "Maximum Protein Experience", Muscles Glasses is replaced with someone having a similar body build and trademark sunglasses. When Epic Mook notices Muscles Glasses working out at the gym where they're filming at, Harley tells the extra they don't need him anymore. Played with again in "Epic Stockyard Burger": Harley's absent to do the video intro, so Tyler fills in for him...until Harley walks out from the store and tells Tyler to go out, buy lunch and do his proper job. In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkELLcoYSbQ Meat Mummy]", Muscles Glasses wears a costume that turns him into... a random black guy. The rest of the guys (sans Harvey/"[[Toy Story (franchise)\|Beard Lightyear]]" and Cousin Dave as "Tony Hawk") wind up dressing up as Muscles Glasses. * [[Out of Focus]]: Muscles Glasses drops out of sight for several episodes (~~March-May~~March–May 2012). Harley and the gang mention him in passing, and he is briefly seen hitchhiking along a back road. They offer up a sacrifice to prepare for his return ("Fastfood Sacrifice"), then cook him a bacon-stuffed cheeseburger after he shows up and helps them defeat a gang of vegan zombies ("Zombie Vegan Attack!"/"Boss Bacon Burger"). * [[Overly Long Gag]] - Bacon in general. * [[Playing to The Fetishes]] - You like to watch girls eating? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIzzx2OolfI You] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXjxHQQxcLw do] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaKcl0Qg13o now]. Straight female vorehounds? This is your mecca. * [[Precision F-Strike]] - In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7Ogcc67gY Spam Fries Four Loko]", Cousin Dave shouts one out when someone tells him there's an automatic can opener after he finishes opening a couple of canned goods with a manual can opener. * [[Rated "M" for Manly]]/[[Testosterone Poisoning]] - Debatable on which trope the show really follows; regardless, both come along with clogged arteries. * [[Real Men Eat Meat]] Subverted for [[Fan Service]] instead in "Massive Meat Log". Invoked in "Sugar Shack" by Muscles Glasses' lumberjack father. ** Totally averted with "Candy BBQ" and "Candy Poutine". {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Well I guess you can say that this is the "no-meat" episode...but don't you [[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]]ing say it."}} * [[~~Re Cut~~Recut]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDwK-kUY40 The Director's Cut of "Zombie Meal Time"], one of the most controversial episodes gets a brand new opening, the cooking narration absent in the original, new scenes of the guys talking while in makeup and is streamlined from 7.5 minutes to 4 minutes. * [[Red Baron]] - In "Fast Food Sushi", Harley dubs himself the "Sauce Boss". ** [[I Have Many Names]] - Taken further in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvUku7zAXVE Candy Sushi]": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "And we got these custom sauces, 'cause I'm the 'Doctor of Dressing', aka the 'Pharaoh of Flavour', aka the 'Minister of Mixture', aka the 'Connoisseur of Condiments', aka the 'Don of the Drippin', aka the '[[Jeff Goldblum]] of the Internet', aka... [dramatic zoom on the sauces] ...the ''Sauce Boss''.}} * [[Refuge in Audacity]] - All of them, really, but it doesn't get much more audacious than [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ putting five birds into a pig]. ** [[Tempting Fate\|Oh, it does.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAjhG09X9YA At LEAST ten times more]. * [[Rousing Speech]] - Most of the video intros; take "84 Egg Sandwich" for example: {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Oh, you wanna change the game? Well, if you wanna change the game, you gotta stay ahead of it! And how do you do that? You eat a well-balanced breakfast of eggs, bacon, sandwiches and '''''liquor'''''! Rise and shine, you tired-ass mother[[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]]s."}} * [[Self-Deprecation]] - Invoked in "Tequila Taco Night": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "If you don't marinate your meat in a Ziploc bag, you think too highly of yourselves."}} ** And again, when Harley (in [[Paper-Thin Disguise\|disguise]]) appears on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i7h-0lQkV an episode of] [[The Gentlemens Rant]] about Epic Meal Time. * [[Serial Escalation]] - It started with a dish that anyone could make, then other culinary mashups. As more episodes rolled in, the dishes involved long and complex preparation methods, vegetables and require an entire dinner table of people to finish. Line 234 ⟶ 235: "French Fry Week": during the week of October 3, 2011, the guys released one episode per day with [[Captain Obvious\|french fries as the central ingredient]]. They ended off the week with a 15-pound poutine. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAjhG09X9YA Turbaconepicentipede]": the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ TurBacon Epic Thanksgiving]" times ten, for a grand total of '''802,420 calories'''. * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]] - The whole cast in "The Gentleman's Episode". * [[Sound Effect Bleep]] - Nearly every curse word is censored via a crow's call. At least one instance of the word "vegetables" was censored, too. If you listen carefully in certain episodes, they do forget to edit out some curse words. Averted in the first half of "EpicMealTime LIVE". * [[Standard Hero Reward]] - Parodied in "Fast Food Meatloaf": {{quote\| '''Lights''': "Holy crap, my burgers! How can I ever repay you?"~~<br />~~ '''Harley''': "I dunno...maybe [[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]]ing share with us, you greedy [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch\|bitches]]?" }} * [[Swiss Army Appendage]] - Played with in "Russian Meal Time": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "Muscles Glasses has a detachable penis, that also happens to be a combat knife."}} * [[Take That]] - "What you doin'? Hatin'? '''STOP HATIN'!!!''' BLEND YOUR OWN BACON!!!" "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFB_vHVFM_8 Meat Salad]". Seriously, just listen to some of Harley's dialogue in the video: {{quote\| "What'you know about health? "Salad"? '''[[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]] SALAD'''!!!"~~<br />~~ "Epic Meal Time showing you how to make a ''real'' salad! [[Sound Effect Bleep\|(caw!)]] your lettuce!"~~<br />~~ "Oh, you didn't know? [[Non Sequitur\|Carrots are for]] [[Double Entendre\|ugly people]]!" }} They gave a very scathing F-U on their Facebook page to the people who were hating on "Drunken Mess". Line 254 ⟶ 255: * [[The Stoic]] - Aside from "Sugar Shack," Muscles Glasses will get in ''maybe'' two lines of dialogue during a couple episodes; most of the time he'll remain quite and/or communicate with strong glares at the camera. * [[Troll]] - Although the guys may band together to create an epic meal, there are certain times when one of them can't help but either insult, snark or outright jinx each other. In "The Ostrich Nest", for example, when Epic Mook starts dicing up some onions: {{quote\| '''Cousin Dave''': "One of these days, I'm going to witness you lose a finger."~~<br />~~ '''Epic Mook''': "Why?"~~<br />~~ '''Cousin Dave''': "It's just going to happen."~~<br />~~ '''Epic Mook''': "I'm very careful with this."~~<br />~~ '''Cousin Dave''': "I know you are...but it'll happen."~~<br />~~ [([[Beat]]~~]<br />~~) '''Epic Mook''': "...Don't be a prick." }} Also, Harley at the [[Mass Effect 3]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UyYFHDrBQ launch] Line 270 ⟶ 271: As "Sausage" is pronounced "SA-OOOSAGE" * "Jack Daniels'" is now "Jack Dagnels" * [[Wham! Line]] - From "Fast Food Pizza Cake": {{quote\| '''Harley''': "We'll have a hundred and fifty."}} * [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]] - They do for meat what [[Death Note ~~(Manga)~~\|Light Yagami]] did for [[Memetic Mutation\|potato chips]]. * [[Widget Series]]: Averted. Although plenty strange, its over-the-topness is way more American in inspiration than Canadian. {{reflist}} [[Category:Canadian Series]] [[Category:Sandbox (New Media)]]▼ [[Category:The New Tens]] [[Category:Web Video]] ▲[[Category:~~Sandbox (~~New Media)]] [[Category:EPICMEALTIME]]
