This one works :-)

Erik Bajzert

With this link, I hereby venture into flavourtown 🫡

Thank you Queen

Caleb M-A

My desperate need to consume new Lindsay content meant I had to buy another year of Nebula when the first link didn't work, you're welcome Wiskus

Reed

Thank you! We understand how frustrating that sort of thing can be but we appreciate it!

Was not expecting a Todd cameo :D

Avery Wilder

I’m from the same town as Guy (Santa Rosa CA) so my friends and I always joke that we actually live in Flavor Town.

Horrible Goose Cultist

I’m gonna be honest: back in the day, I never noticed Guy Fieri much; all I really knew about him was that he was a weird guy that cooked and people made fun of him for having been in the Backstreet Boys. I didn’t realize until the band did a reunion tour they he was not, in fact, a Backstreet Boy.

Haldon Lindstrom

This really brightened up my Friday. This thoughtful reflection on how we the media consumers assess celebrities was both interesting and insightful. I hope you had as much fun putting it together as I had watching. Love your team's work as always.

yamiangie

I find it worth it cause I like watch a lot of the other creators on nebula.

Josie

To my memory, I never joined the Guy Fieri dogpiling. This has less to do with me being a good person and more to do with me always being trash for a) the food network and b) the exact type of food that DDD showcases

Jason Pargin

I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED FLAVORTOWN

Took me a minute to realize who the guy in the middle during the taste test was. Shouldn't have taken that long, really. This was a really great watch. I'd had a lot of questions about these sorts of things, but I'd never take the time to research it. Thanks for doing this one.

I think people save their most visceral hatred for people that resemble themselves in some negative way. Like, we hate people who embody aspects of ourselves we’re ashamed of. Or we’re envious of someone having something we want. I think the hatred of Fieri is the former. He embodies American low class tackiness and overconsumption. And people overlook his good qualities and feel like they can distance themselves from their own shame by insulting him.

Brady Thomas

Just as a total side note - all the comments about his restaurant closing that compared him to trump reminds me of this fucking aggravating trend amongst certain liberals to compare everything they don't like, in any cultural arena, to Trump. Like, my grandmother called Broadway's Moulin Rouge "trumpian" because it was "too populist" or some shit like that. Idk, just a weird pet peeve of mine as somebody on the left, and so much in line with that 2010's coastal liberal snobbery that the culture has turned against in celebrities like LMM or Ellen.

Sarah Muder

I'm not even halfway in and I gotta say, I'm enjoying the fuck out of the Todd cameo. As for Guy, I suppose it was inevitable he become a cultural flashpoint. Big personality, distinctive look, it's an easy target. But I've never watched any of his shows. I was obsessed with Good Eats at the time, so Alton Brown was my homie.

Lindsay Ellis

I felt the same... until I met the guy. That cured me of any and all desire for Alton Brown content.

Lindsay Ellis

it's very true, and worse it gives credence to the "orange man bad" NPC meme, like yeah sometimes criticisms of or relating to Trump are completely vacuous

PerfectlyAdequate

I’m glad you’re having a good time because I was NOT emotionally prepared for that face reveal lol. But actually it was pretty cool and +1 Good Eats. Best thing to come out of Food Network

Ryan

This was really great!

Gabe

Did it not upload right originally? Why take 2?

Rachel

Todd maintaining that the food is good because all he eats is garbage is the kind of continuity I'm here for.

Sarah Muder

I've seen hints here and there of Todd's face elsewhere so it wasn't a huge reveal for me, that helps lol.

Sarah Muder

Damn, sucks to hear Alton's not the best irl. I haven't watched much of his content lately though, it's not the same as the old show, or maybe I'm not the same.

John Fischer

Hello again, Lindsay! The only sin of his in my eyes was his lukewarm reception to to one of my brother’s alma mater’s most beloved eateries: the Triple XXX in West Lafayette. I guess putting peanut butter on a burger is just a step too far for the Mayor of Flavortown.

Sarah Muder

The first link was the nebula link, which works for people who have a nebula sub, but not for patrons who don't. You have to have a link that the patrons who don't have nebula can access. I can vouch I could not watch from the first link but I could with this one.

Lanth

That was great. Thank you for putting so much time into a history of the cultural impact of Guy Fieri.

Sarah

Hello! Unfortunately this video doesn't seem to want to load for me even though I can get to the webpage and see the thumbnail on Nebula. Is anyone else having this issue?

Kav

I'm having a similar issue (initially won't load beyond the thumbnail then shows an indecipherable error message when refreshed). In my case, it's most likely down to me using an ancient version of Chrome because I'm running an ancient version of MacOS because my laptop's... [checks laptop details] ...11 years old. If your computer's sensibly up-to-date, though, there may still be some issue on Nebula's end.

BorisS

So does this mean that he named Morgan's Veggie Patties after his sister?

Shawn

Really great. Watched it the whole way through. Thanks Lindsay!

Lapsedfanmarv

Whos gonna make a video showing all the celebrities drooling over Trump during his Apprentice years and then acting holier than thou once he got elected. Democrat here and I didnt want to vote for Hilary. If Democrats wanted to win why didnt they put a less controversial candidate in 2016?

Jay P Hailey

Weird. I see this one, but not the other one.

The Baskinator

Really enjoyed this. I've been a fan of Fieri for a long time, and it's because of a similar thing as what you mentioned at the end with hospitals. In 2009, I was in the hospital for an extended period of time, recovering from H1N1 and ARDS which resulted in a six-week long coma. And the recovery was grueling, lonely, and I was quite literally trapped in a hospital bed. The only thing I could bear to watch was Food Network and especially DDD and Good Eats. Most other shows were hard to follow, as I was still struggling with staying conscious and keeping my thoughts in order. And worst of all: they were boring. I just wanted to look at food (I couldn't eat yet) and think about not being stuck there. The fake kitchens and staged storytelling of someone like Ina Garten made me inexplicably panicked. I feel like Alton Brown actually dropped his likeable, approachable Southerner persona (sometime after his divorce) and now has a more Bourdain-esque performance to his content. He's still a good host and cook, but I don't find him as engaging as I found him when he was wearing bowling shirts and doing skit-based food comedy. Fieri, though, has really never changed. There is comfort to be found in something that doesn't change.

Bonnie Fiddis

Living in the UK I only really saw him in DD&D and while I enjoyed the show at the time it was mainly background TV. I never hated him but he did come across as an energetic brash American which isn’t for everyone at all times. Great video retrospective on him and the whole backlash culture.

AndreGG

And I'm the opposite, I'm already signed into nebula but could not watch it thru this link, but found it easily in the nebula main page hehe

Josie Cakes

I really loved this. It’s funny—I saw the video theme and immediately became curious as it was a topic I never considered. What you said about our lens warping is so true on so many levels, and I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and how confusing culture is becoming for me. This Dude, who feels so ubiquitous, is yet another person I took for granted, and is making me really think: how many of my opinions are actually mine?

Gator McKinley

Loved this video. The food reviewer in the middle seemed interesting, wonder if he has a Patreon or two I could support hmm... And the part at the end rings true to me. When my wife was on dialysis or when we travel to her post-transplant appointments, Guy Fieri is almost always what we watch. It's such a connecting and wholesome experience, it makes cynicism so much more difficult. Love your content so much. :)

Trys

Really enjoyed this video. It made me think about the people who say "Idiocracy is a literally a documentary". That's a major pet peeve of mine, and it's something came from the same sort of place as the "Guy Fieri, Honey Boo Boo and reality tv are causing a cultural decline" sentiment that was popular in the early 2010s. Except, "Idiocracy is literally a documentary" is now more popular than ever while people have laid off from hating on reality tv a bit.

Karena Bakas

The dolly comparison is so good. I’d love more content about her in literally any form 😆

Madeleine

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! So grateful for you Lindsay!

Bryant W Shea

In this video you end with talking about watching Triple D in the hospital during the deliveries of both yours and your cowriters children and that kind of hit an interesting note because that's exactly what my wife and I watched every day for a week in the hospital leading up to the birth of our kid.

Philippa K

Absolutely loved this, your work is always thoughtful and often helps me articulate my own thoughts better. Thank you!

Gina Thorley

Great piece! As usual! Made me think of the Keanu renaissance, which was also kind of about snobbery, but in a different way

Natalie

Good for that comedian! Standing up for Guy Fieri AND Nickelback. Why does everyone hate on Nickelback?

Trevor Jones

Omg Todd out of the shadows and on the street!

Jetstream

Mostly because they're not really that good, but they're still hyper popular. I mean, I like their song (okay okay they have at least two :P) but some people think famous people need to "deserve" it, for some reason. It doesn't make sense but ... Uh... No it just doesn't make sense.

Jetstream

Wait wait, wait. This was real? Like, the hate was real? I thought people just liked giving him shit because he's the biggest dork the world has ever produced. But there was real antipathy behind it? Shit. That's stupid af.

Baie Berry

big joel is truly the best casting to read that review
