Types of People at a Potluck

Ain't no shame in going for dessert first.

I regret to inform y’all that the banana pudding is gone. My math was right.

[jessicathomas]

They forgot the “everyone brought a crock pot” table that requires 17 extension cords because the room only has one outlet.

[jessicathomas]

Also forgot the people who forgot to bring a serving spoon with their dish and everyone has to use one of the tiny plastic utensil spoons to get some.

It is a rule of Southern Hospitality: In order to have enough food for a gathering, you have to have too much food. You want people to feel like they can take as much as they like without feeling bad. You want the last person in line to still feel like they’re at a feast. You want enough to send some home with Stephen for his wife because you know she wanted to be here. And you want leftovers for yourself because after hosting, you are going to be wore slap out and not feel like cooking for a while.

Don't forget the "picker": the person who steals all the meatballs from the spaghetti and meatballs, the shrimp from the seafood dish, the "ends" of all the meats, cakes and meatloaves.

I was all set to claim "Sampler" until I saw she was sampling at the table. With the same fork.

[annieisdylansmom]

Don't forget "The Hoverer." That's the person that hovers around the table, looking at everything to see what's there before it's officially time to eat so they can strategize and optimize their meal. They also hover close by so they can be first in line.

It's me. I'm The Hoverer.

One time I went to a church potluck with no sign up sheet and no traffic director. It was all desserts with a few buckets of fried chicken - BEST POTLUCK EVER!

[rachelpicheo]

When she sniffed the cake and said, "Wal-Mart Cake" I felt that in my soul.

[Tuomasgirl]

I love how she almost broke character and laughed at “rice based macaroni”

[abbygail]

As my pastor always says, "Eat dessert first, just incase the Lord comes back"

[mrs.caseyhicks]

The desert dont go on the end of the table it's a whole nother separate table

[robtheroadie]

I am most definitely classified as a " juggler." Here's a professional tip, if you put your silverware and napkins in your shirt pocket that leaves a whole hand free to carry another plate. If they ever open buffets back up again, I could probably teach a class on different juggling techniques.

My dad was a preacher at a little church in a farming community when I was little. The church potlucks were always amazingly sumptuous. Then when I got older, he became pastor of a church in metropolitan LA California. The first potluck we had at the church THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD! I couldn't comprehend how that was possible!

[cindycarmichael]

That was great, spot-on! But you forgot the (classic single man, who only brings a bag of chips!) 😂

[Dark_Angel]

The 16 dislikes are the "Last in Line" people stuck with the Wal-Mart cake.

[amazingExxod]

Don’t forget “The Good Samaritan.” Makes something for the Potluck, but doesn’t eat anything because he/she is on a diet.

[carpeinferi]

Don't forget "Doesn't trust other people's cooking, so brings their own food".

[FairfaxDaysforLife]

I like how authentic and non-gimmicky this channel is. The subject matter is southern stereotypes, but the actors aren't caricatures of southerners. Nobody named Billy-Bob. Nobody wearing a John-Deere hat. Only a few actors speak with classic "southern" accents. At first the lack of these things was a bit of a distraction, but now I appreciate it. It proves they're genuine.

[Buttonmstr]

Can we all just agree that the plasticware and napkins belong at the end of the table so that you don't need to awkwardly carry them through the whole line? Also, there should be a separate drink table with it's own distinct line from the food table.
