We have reached our Lois point in history...

as an elder millennial, I of course recognize Peter Griffin, but I have no idea who this young man to his left is

he looks like he's the person that Tate fellow is trying to be

Hot ones has some great celebrity interviews if you're into that sort of thing. This video is a very unfunny outlier.

does the interview revolve around ones appreciation for wings?

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 3 points 19 minutes ago (1 children)

I think the hot wings do a couple things, give them a sort of trajectory for the interview, make interviewee more vulnerable, and gimmick for brand recognition. The interviewer is also just really good at his job and asks interesting questions, so it could probably work without that stuff but certainly wouldn't have the notoriety it currently does.

this is gonna drive me to be @UlyssesT@hexbear.net but about Hot Ones instead of Elon

this is the most ridiculous premise for an interview show

my other comment bears repeating:

how do celebrities feel about paper cuts?!?! check out my new YouTube show to find out

that feels equally pertinent to the culture

Eating hot wings is a pretty standard food challenge in the states. Many local wings places were doing it long before this YouTube show. (Like "if you can eat this plate of ghost pepper wings you get them for free and your picture on the wall") I don't know much about the brand but they definitely were always planning on doing food related things based on the name "first we feast" and this idea makes sense. The interviews are otherwise normal and like I said have this guy who's a good interviewer. If you're curious, find a celebrity you like and watch that episode. Or you can just forget the whole thing because I assure you there are much weirder premises for interview shows.

it revolves around making both the host and said interviewee increasingly suffer by way of capsaicin while general interview questions (both career and personal) are asked. they do a "flight" of incrementally-hotter hot sauces until it's just asinine scoville levels toward the end. idk what the gag is here, if the VA ate wings as the character or what. I don't care enough to watch it to figure this one out.

??? why is the interview more entertaining if the participants are suffering?

edit: I don't expect you to have an answer for this, I'm realizing this is a question I'm asking myself

what the fuck

[–] mbt2402@hexbear.net 2 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

because its a way to manufacture relatability for celebrity-commodities

[–] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 2 points 22 minutes ago

"oh look, hot things hurt them, just like me" ????

really??????

💀🙃

you know what else hurts them? bullets and assault and thorough denigration, just like every-fuckin-body else

it is incomprehensible to me that this is a thing
