LLOOOYYDDD!!

[–]mjrpbplayer 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure your date will pop that with his pecker!

Fuck, time to binge on Entourage.

[–]DNoo 86 points87 points ago

you're supposed to be able to tell your friends their moms can't cook

then you make a joke about the breakfast being terrible after you fucked her

don't you guys know anything about friendship

[–]Jeroknite -2 points-1 points ago

after you fucked her

The mom or the friend? Or both?

[–]vypr 20 points21 points ago

You ever go over to a friends house to eat and food was just no good?

[–]psychicpilot 13 points14 points ago

You mean when the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed, and the chicken tastes like wood?

[–]donvito7335 7 points8 points ago

So you try to play off like you think you can by saying that your full.

[–]iloveawkward 2 points3 points ago

And no one believes you, so they just call bull.

[–]Joseambriz89 0 points1 point ago

No one believes you, and then they serve you another plate.

[–]HenchingMen 0 points1 point ago

At that point you can't even take it anymore and end up committing suicide.

[–]iloveawkward 0 points1 point ago

The end.

[–]wink047 -1 points0 points ago

i read all three of these posts to the tune and rhythm of colt 45 by afroman. and no, i do not smoke weed

[–]TimmyFTW[!] 1 point2 points ago

Oh man my dad is super guilty of mushy vegetables. He would boil delicious veggies to perfection and then give them another 15 minutes :(

[–]Sonewall 0 points1 point ago

Say what?

[–]VonBrosenhos 19 points20 points ago

If your moms such a great cook how come she always insists I cook breakfast?

[–]Some_Young_Atheist 6 points7 points ago

She excels when is comes to "dessert".

[–]DatoeDakari 3 points4 points ago

You were so close.

[–]WalrusRid3r 34 points35 points ago

Your friend sounds like a dick.

[–]jon_titor 18 points19 points ago

I dunno man, some of my friends' moms growing up absolutely could not cook at all. Most of those friends were totally aware.

So it was less "Haha, your mom sucks", but more "Hey, uh, you want to come eat at my house tonight?"

[–]Tiktaky 1 point2 points ago

My mother-in-law is the same. She can make a meal, and it's palatable, but it just doesn't taste like the food I grew up with, and because of that it was not very nice, it always felt dry and over-cooked.

I suffer IBS, and nothing she cooks agrees with me. I needed to tell my boyfriend that I could not take his mum's cooking for my own health, but did so as diplomatically as possible.

The best way around it is to say "Mrs Derp, you seem really busy lately, how about I cook dinner for the family tonight and you take a break, after all you've been so kind to let me stay as a guest"

[–]qrtr_inch_seam 0 points1 point ago

Because you were/are a polite and diplomatic person.

[–]Pointing_Out_Irony 0 points1 point ago

Only if it was in front of the guy's mom.

My friends and I practice this "honesty" thing and his mom can't cook for shit. Three times I choked down her water-thin marinara, undercooked chicken and half-radishes in her salads.

One day he asked if I wanted to come over for dinner and I said no and he asked why so I told him.

Does that make me a dick?

[–]WalrusRid3r -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah. Yeah it does. Mom's cooking no matter how bad is never perceived as such.

[–]NotchLovesCoe 3 points4 points ago

that arm flourish was pretty cool

[–]stevesonaplane 2 points3 points ago

My friend's mom would always make spaghetti squash and I hated that shit, doesn't matter who would've made it. My friend hated it too, so we usually fed it to the forest.

[–]zzbb 2 points3 points ago

I've realized that regardless of quality, almost everyone thinks their mom is an awesome cook.

[–]iLLwiLLGivingThrills 7 points8 points ago

I eat anything someone cooks...there is a 99% chance it will be better than anything I could cook. Unless its Chicken Parmesan. Thats the one dish that I DOMINATE... but its mostly in the presentation rather than taste :/

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

want to share your secret? I'll keep it safe, trust me I'm from the Internet.

[–]iLLwiLLGivingThrills 6 points7 points ago

instead of using chicken breasts use chicken tenders. For whatever reason three chicken-strip's with a little red sauce on top and covered in shredded paremesan looks way more fancy and high class than just the usual chicken breast done in the same fasion. The ladies dig it. Well, they used too. Its kind of been awhile since I have had a reason to cook for two :/

[–]tromboneham 10 points11 points ago

This started out so happy and ended so sad. :(

[–]qrtr_inch_seam 2 points3 points ago

Wanna go full yummy chicken parm? Take the chicken (whatever cut), dip in raw egg, roll in bread crumbs and parmesan, brown in a pan. THEN put it in a baking dish, cover with red sauce, and put mozzarella slices over the top. Serve over pasta. You'll win muy points.

[–]iLLwiLLGivingThrills 1 point2 points ago

I will have to try the breadcrumbs. I have been using pretzels and/or crackers with success. I really like your Parmesan in the breading and the mozzarella slices. The slices could be the Emeril moment. (BAM!)

[–]Jackg28 1 point2 points ago

I love the little arm spin when it say "get THE FUCK out"

[–]DoobieRoller 5 points6 points ago

One of the best TV characters, ever. Right up there with Randy Marsh, and the entire cast of Arrested Development.

[–]utdude999 0 points1 point ago

What show is it?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

entourage.

Personally, I think it's overrated. Acting is hammy and some of the "this is based of a real event" stories are senseless.

[–]DoobieRoller 5 points6 points ago

Towards the end it got pretty lame, but the first few seasons were great...at least for me. I really pulled for Vince to finally make it big. I think it was a good show, overall. Jeremy Piven completely owned that character. He, alone, is reason enough to watch the show.

BOOM!

[–]StefanDubs 4 points5 points ago

Ari Gold = instant upvote

[–]w00tkid 3 points4 points ago

What if I told you not all moms can cook?

[–]doppelkinn 2 points3 points ago

what an asshole. I would love a home cooked meal (single father here) I have not had a good meal in weeks.

Learn to cook for yourself.

[–]doppelkinn 2 points3 points ago

I can cook actually, but nothing beats a meal cooked by someone else :)

[–]Juicy_Fart 6 points7 points ago

except when you can cook better than them. I've suffered through many a dish by sub-par cooks. I swear i got a splinter from turkey once.

[–]doppelkinn -2 points-1 points ago

Ha! I know the feeling. No, I am pretty good. I do a mean squash casserole, and I make a good potato salad, and chicken dishes. I also make an amazing herb crusted pork chop.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

You're right. Studies have already been shown that food cooked by somebody else tend to taste better even if you cook the exact same thing yourself.

[–]Jt_Ronnoco -1 points0 points ago

What a dick no one gives a fuck especially the 10 year old who doesn't like this guys moms cooking. You look at something you don't have and see someone else with it, of course you would appreciate it more than he, you're a better man!

[–]saberxzero 1 point2 points ago

Who complains about free food??!?!?!

[–]Timid_Pimp 1 point2 points ago

Ten year olds.

[–]yep45 0 points1 point ago

I took your mom out for a nice seafood dinner and never called her again!

[–]bingram 0 points1 point ago

Before I even opened this, I knew what it was going to be.

[–]TomHardon 0 points1 point ago

That's about how i figured Jermey Piven's hand writing would look like.

[–]kleptobismol 0 points1 point ago

what? Your friend didn't like your mom's cooking? I'm sorry but please tell that story......

[–]BrotherThump 0 points1 point ago

Twist: Your mom is a shitty cook.

JEREMY PIVEN is the MAN

[–]Doomdoomkittydoom -1 points0 points ago

LOL!

But seriously tho, your Mom's cooking tastes like a Mumbai gutter.

[–]ollieapril -1 points0 points ago

I should probably know this.... But what's that from?

[–]PrincessOfChina -1 points0 points ago

Hahahahahahaaahahahahahahahahaha
