Its kind of interesting to watch the evolution of these types of shows.
They start out great, and as they run out of ideas and material, they begin playing the sh!t out of the few funny aspects until they no longer remain funny whatsoever except to the handful of people who they have established a weird cult following with. Epic Meal Time is dying.
It's sad, because I think the main guy actually has some culinary/creative talent. But there really is only so much you can do with Bacon and JD's I guess.
At least bring back the hot chics, or did they already jump on the next wagon?
The early shows were good because they weren't overdone. This whole badass Harley thing is getting out of control. The fame has def. gone to his head. At least they didn't shamelessly promote an advertisement this time. I actually didn't watch last weeks episode as a punishment to EpicMealTime. NO VIEW FROM ME!
I would prefer 1 show a month with some thought into it rather than 1 shitty show a week.

Berz out.
I don't like EMT, but I don't understand why you need to "punish" them for advertisement and promotion. Bacon, JD, and all the ingredients that goes into these videos isn't cheap (how much would 20-30 burgers cost alone?). Up until then they were providing free entertainment. I don't know how much they make from YouTube affiliates, but hey I don't find it wrong that their trying to make more money through advertising. It's not like most ACTUALLY make them money by following through with their advertisement.
usually, I don't find EMT's videos very entertaining, but this one was friggin hilarious with all the gun play. love the ending where the guy takes the knife to the vodka bottle, haha.
btw, u can buy Epic Meal Time t-shirts at Hot Topic stores in the states.

Some of them are actually quite good, but it seems like they've settled into a routine and it's getting boring. Foodwise, it's totally gone downhill. It's like they are just using "moar bacon" as a substitute to originality.
As for talent. The boys have knife skills, I'll give them that. I'm going to hazard a guess that they've done actual professional prep, or they just love playing in the kitchen at home.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true; to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs..
