MY WEIRD ICE CREAMS: a cooking video

this is where brian david gilbert is:

[PlurpleEmo]

Immediately checks comments to see if this is a “Brian is earnest about the topic/title” video or a “Brian will devolve into scary dystopian Brian 3 min in” video

[crm]

“I’m not gonna say you’re not… I… Salmonella….I’m not a doctor, so…” is probably not a thing you want to hear the chef saying but I trust Brian

[rhaegnarok]

this is just like back in the day when housewives got all edgy with food and started suspending everything in jello and cream, except it’s weird flavoured ice creams aggressively made by an apprentice househusband theatre kid

[guytorie]

I know it's a joke, but "man explains what tasting means" still sounds like it could be a believable bdg video title

[cassidy]

“You’re gonna have an ice cream social”
I see Brian is harnessing his inner 1950s suburban mother energy today.

[JackBarlowStudios]

I love how _genuinely_ passionate he seems to be about making weird ice creams. I kept expecting it to go off the rails in classic BDG fashion, but it was just a really wholesome video of a man sharing something he loves.

[HoorayForFreeStuff]

God as my witness I will one day emulate Brian's fashion sense and not look like a chubby toddler. I will look sleek and mysterious like a poorly domesticated ocelot, as Brian does...

The fact that this video didn't dissolve into surreal post-ironic humor or develop a horror subtext halfway through left me with a strange kind of tension the whole time.

Brian: “old bay”
Me: *flashbacks to crab claw Brian*

"karen does not mince words about food"

ah yes, good old karen "all plants are edible if you're not a coward" han

Things Brian David Gilbert is NOT:
•A doctor
•A chef

[shutuptravis]

the old bay arc of Brian’s career has come full circle as he makes a novelty ice cream with it in his home that he can now afford by making $20k a month by being his own boss

[threedeepinthewindow]

Karen "any plant is edible" Han and Brian David "make oyster ice cream" Gilbert, unstoppable forces

[LifeTheorist]

"If you're not in Baltimore.... frikking rent a car, and go there"

Alright boys, time to drive through the ocean.

Great video! My mom recently got an ice cream maker that she was really excited about and wanted some wacky ideas for flavors, so I showed her this. While we were watching along and enjoying the upbeat and casual vibes over our obnoxiously loud machine, she said, entirely unprompted, "You know...I hope this guy's actually happy." When I asked her to elaborate, she responded with something along the lines of, "I hope he isn't forcing an eccentric persona to overcompensate for some kind of deeply rooted mental problem." I was so caught off guard by this comment made by my immigrant mother on this simple and fun cooking video that I was left speechless while our ice cream machine's whirring resonated throughout our kitchen. We're definitely planning on trying the peanut butter and jelly flavor!

Excuse me Brian, why isn’t your ice cream called “COLD Bay”?

[cloudglider]

I really like Karen's camera handling. It's awkward yet pristine.

I'm five minutes in and wondering: "When is he going to bring out the Lao Gan Ma?"

[yaelrivera]

Always lose my shit when Brian just... uses his hands to clean the broken egg
Not a sponge or a wet cloth.
Just his hands.
Obsessed with it.

He went from kooky, eccentric genius to sugar-overdosed child the moment he said "now let's mix them all together!". And I just love him for that, he's just the type of danger to society we need.
