- Are frozen meals ever as
pretty as their picture? - Let's talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! We're wrapping up our 10
Years of GMM Celebration Week. - Okay, now the last time we
did what we're about to do, we had frozen meal companies
shaking in their snow boots. I'm looking at you, Hungry Man. - And he's talking to the brand, not you, if you happen to be a man
who's currently famished. - Right. Today, we're gonna fulfill
our duty to society by eviscerating frozen food packaging that's lying to us all. - Like my mama always said every single time she looked
at my young, beardless face, it's what's on the inside that counts. So if what's on the outside
of these frozen dinner boxes doesn't match up with its innards, boy, are we gonna go nuts! It's time for A Picture on a Box Might Be Worth a Thousand
Words, But Come On, This Meatloaf Looks Like Reindeer Turds! - We're gonna be presented
with a series of frozen foods, but we will first take a close gander at the photos on the box and
then we'll each get our own cooked version of that
frozen meal, untouched. We promise that the Mythical Kitchen-eers have not laid a finger on
them to make them look pretty or ugly.
- Yes. Now, then we're gonna compare the dish with the photo on the box and like my mama giving
me unsolicited advice on my appearance every time I see her, we'll both give each meal
a score of one to 10, based on how well they meet
our visual expectations. If the meal blows our minds,
we'll tack on a bonus point! - Okay. - But if it doesn't meet
our microwavable meals bar, we're gonna subtract a point
because we can and will, maybe. (gentle upbeat music) - [Stevie] Okay, first up, we've got Stouffer's
tuna noodle casserole, a dish Stouffer's describes
as, "Freshly made egg noodles, tuna, mushrooms, celery,
and peas in a creamy sauce." - Look at it. It's piled
high on that plate. Now, we know there's not gonna be a plate. Let's take a look at
what there is gonna be. Wa-wow! - [Rhett] Okay. - It's gonna be just a flat- - Now, hold on. - Breadcrumb-y pond. - I don't think we can
compare this to that because this has clearly
been put on a plate and mixed around. I think you have to make an
effort to mix this a little bit. - [Link] I agree, I agree. - Because it's a, oh, gosh. It kinda come- (crew laughing) It's like a pancake altogether. Okay, all right, we're learning things. - See, but when you do
that, then the breadcrumbs. I wanna keep the breadcrumbs on top. The good news is, I'm hungry,
so I'm kind of giving it- - It doesn't smell bad. - [Link] I'm appetized,
even though it's tuna, which is not the thing
that I usually wanna grab from the freezer. - Okay, that's about as much
work as I would practically do to one of these meals. - Well, I've made mine into
more of like a noodle fortress. - Okay, it looks more like
what we have on the plate, but I'm gonna go ahead and
tell you, unequivocally, without a doubt, what you see on the box was not made from this. It was completely manufactured
with the ingredients and a professional chef put it together because you can't do this- - [Link] No. - [Rhett] To this to
make it look like that. - On a scale of one to 10. - I'm gonna say it stacks
up to about a four. - It looks like leftovers. - I can see all the ingredients. - Yeah. - But they're slightly different colors and it's not presented in a way that I can actually replicate, even with lots of time and effort. - I don't think it's as bad as you say. I'm gonna give it a six. - Okay. - Now, let's eat it to see
if the taste blows us away and makes us wanna add a point. I like a good garden pea. - It's not bad. - [Link] The first bite
of anything that's tuna- - It's not good. Taste like tuna. - It takes a little adjustment. - I'm not giving it a point
or taking away a point. - Yeah, me neither. - It is what it is. It's tuna noodle casserole. You made the decision to buy this. You should swim in it. - All right, so Stouffer's
tuna noodle casserole. We're giving you a total score of a 10. (gentle upbeat music) - [Stevie] Next up, you've
got Jimmy Dean's biscuit and sausage gravy bowl. Jimmy Dean's signature sausage
over a hot, flaky biscuit. - [Rhett] Okay. - I like hanging with Jimmy. - Now, I'm expecting a bowl
with a biscuit and gravy and clearly visible sausage. Let's see what we got. Oh, okay. - I see that biscuit in the middle. It is drowning in a sea of gravy, though. - But there's much more gravy in reality than there is on the box, but are you gonna complain about gravy? But that's not what we're testing. - [Link] Not if it tastes good. I will say that the gravy
is on top of the biscuit. - [Rhett] Yeah. - It's not like they
put the gravy pond down and then floated the pontoon
of biscuit on top of it. The order is correct. There's even some sausage on top. - Is it a gravy pouch or is it altogether in there like this? - [Josh] It's altogether in there. - It's altogether. Okay. Because a gravy pouch,
you could maybe replicate this look right here. This is pretty good for- - [Link] This is what it is. - [Rhett] For all being together. Yours actually looks a little bit better. There's more biscuit visibility in yours. - It may be up for an additional point because I like the taste
of a good Jimmy Dean- - Yeah, Jimmy Dean is good. - [Link] I've never had this. - [Rhett] It's not super appetizing. - [Link] No. - I will say that, when you get a look. I'm gonna give it a five. It's better than the last one. - I think it's the same as the last one. I'm still giving it a
little more leniency. I'm also gonna give this one a six, but I can't wait to taste it. - [Rhett] Jimmy Dean had
the best commercials. - What do you remember
about the commercial? - It had him in it. - Because he was a celebrity. - He was like, "Jimmy Dean
always does it right," or something like that. (crew laughing) - Very fluffy biscuit. - Jimmy Dean biscuits have
a Jimmy Dean biscuit flavor. It's not something you get anywhere else. It's very nostalgic for me. I think I'm gonna have to tack on a point, just for the nostalgia. - It's not that it taste good. It tastes like Jimmy Dean. - No, it is pretty good,
especially if you get some of that sausage in there. Okay. You tacking on a point? - I'm gonna tack on a point, too. - All right, that brings
Jimmy Dean's biscuit and sausage gravy bowl
up to a total of 13. (gentle upbeat music) - Hey, the latest episode of
Good Mythical Crew the Podcast is out today over on the Mythical Society. It features Ben, one
of our first employees, who notoriously does not
like to be on camera, but he did it for a good cause, you! - Yes, in celebration of the
tenth anniversary of GMM, Ben chatted about all the
delicious behind-the-scene secrets that only a nearly 10-year
employee knows about, from how he was hired to
the making of Buddy System, the new GMM intro, lots of good stuff. - Yeah, so Good Mythical Crew,
the podcast, hosted by Chase. Exclusively for second
and third degree members of the Mythical Society, so join up now. mythicalsociety.com because
you can learn something. - [Stevie] Okay, so it's
been delicious so far. - I know, it has, right? I'm actually restoring my faith in the frozen food community. - [Stevie] Yeah and I was not about to gag on the first round. This next meal is Stouffer's roast turkey. Tender white meat turkey and
stuffing in a homestyle gravy, with russet mashed potatoes. - Now, I see that the
turkey is nicely sliced. - This is plated again. - Yes, plated, but presented
in a shuffled card scenario with a drizzle of gravy. - But we already know that this
is gonna be a tray of meat, a tray of food, that goes in a box. So again, I feel like you
have to try to make an effort to see if you could even get
close to replicating that. - [Link] Okay. - [Rhett] Oh, gosh. - We've got a lot of work to do. (Rhett laughing) - Well, you know what? - I don't even see the turkey. - [Rhett] The turkey is sliced. - [Link] All I see is stuffing pieces. - Mine's got three very distinguishable. Well, not distinguishable. They all look sorta brown. - [Link] Oh, this is turkey. Now, that- - Look how it all kinda
comes off as a piece. It's like peeling off a scab. - Ew, don't say scab! God! - [Rhett] Peeling off a
turkey scab. (laughing) - No, don't put it on a turkey! I don't wanna eat an injured turkey. - But look at the
vibrant colors on the box and then look at the medium brown. If you had a box of crayons,
what color would this be? What's a name for brown? You were a crayon boy. - Turkey scab brown. - [Rhett] Turkey scab brown. - [Link] I had to do it. - [Rhett] This isn't holding up very well. I'm gonna give this one a three. - And the turkey is sliced. - Yeah, the turkey is sliced. - [Link] So it is sliced,
but it's like little- - [Rhett] They didn't put
a whole turkey in there. - It's like little shards of it. I am not happy and scabs are on the brain. I'm giving this a two. - Oh, okay. Now, let's taste it. - How could it taste good? - Well, brown things are often very tasty. - I'm even gonna get a bit
of that celery in there. The only green thing. - It's not bad. It really isn't bad. - It's what come to expect
from turkey out of a microwave, but that is, my friend, bad. I'm not gonna take away a point, though. - I'm definitely not taking away a point. - You wanna add a point? - No, I'm not saying
I'm gonna add a point. I said it wasn't bad. - [Link] And yet, I'm
gonna take another bite. - But compared to turkey
dressing and mashed potatoes that you could make for yourself, definitely doesn't compare. Okay, I'm just gonna call it even. - Stouffer's roast turkey
got a total score of five. (gentle upbeat music) - [Stevie] Okay, this last meal is DiGiorno's chicken parm stromboli, which is premium chicken,
parmesan and mozzerella cheeses, and zesty signature sauce
in a crispy seasoned crust. - That looks good, man! Makes me hungry. - Well, let's see how good it does look. - Okay. Trevor has already cut it for us and when I take a look at
this, is it actually cooked? - [Trevor] Yeah. - It's warm, but. Where's the melty? - Well, the funny thing is,
is that the color, again. - Just totally- - This isn't even the same thing. - It's like a vampire
drained it of its life. - I feel like maybe this is
just a Photoshop exercise at this point. They're taking those reds
and bringing them up. - Yeah, you know how
they do with the reds. - [Rhett] This is nothing like that. - Boosting them. - The stromboli that I used
to have in Greg's dorm room. You know Greg's mom would
send him a frozen stromboli and you'd put it in the fridge. - I didn't know that. - We played video games together. Yeah because you were studying in college. I was playing video games. Playing video games and then we'd stop and I'd be like, "Can I get a
little bit of that stromboli?" - You mooched so hard off of Greg, man. - [Rhett] Yeah. - He was feeding you his mama's stromboli. - Yeah. - I bet you made him put it in your mouth. - No, I didn't. (crew laughing) - You put it in your own mouth? - It didn't get weird. It was just me eating a man's stromboli. If all I saw was the
back of this stromboli, I'd be like, you've almost done it. - [Link] I don't know. It looks like a really dried out cracker. There's no buttery-ness to it. - [Rhett] That's true. - I really had my hopes up
and they're dashed big time. - Look at that gap. I can get a full tongue
into this stromboli without even touching it. I think I can get a full tongue in there. - I think I won't watch. - I made no contact with this stromboli. - This is disappointing. - I didn't even taste anything. - Because they set our
expectations so high with this. - But it's still the same form, though. I'm gonna give it a five. - I'm gonna give it a three
because I am disappointed. The only thing that's gonna
rectify this un-rectified thing- - Okay. Get it out. - [Link] Is to eat it.
- Okay. Is this the one I tongued or not? - That bread on the outside
is hard to get through. - It's so dry. - I'm deducting another point. I'm sorry. - [Rhett] I'm deducting a point, as well. - Man! We started off so strong. I thought, you know what? Maybe frozen food's not as
bad as we thought they were. Maybe we're too hard on them last time or we went with some really nasty-nasty. - But then they show their true colors or their lack of colors. - They have dashed my expectations. - So, DiGiorno's chicken parm stromboli ends up with a total score of six. But that's still better
than the total of five for Stouffer's roast turkey, our absolutely lowest scoring dish. - You have lost the meal. So, we just wanna give
some advice to Stouffer's to make your roast turkey better so you can have more truth in advertising. Really, all you just need is a fresh coast of paint, so to speak. Or maybe literally. There you go. I think this is gonna
help you guys out nicely. - [Rhett] I'm about to rectify this. - Now, if I saw that,
I think my expectations would be in the exact right location and then if I opened the box and saw that, I'd be like, oh, well, different color. - Yeah. Doesn't that look appetizing? Problem solved! All right, so. - You're welcome, Stouffer's. We're here for you. - It is the final day of our
week of celebrating 10 years of Good Mythical Morning
and we've been told that the crew has put together
something very special for us that, "showcase one of the most
emotionally important parts of the show." - Emotionally important. - We don't know what that
means, but we are prepared. Let's take a look. What exactly is a testicle? (Link clears throat) - [Stevie] So now, we're gonna go to Link. (Rhett laughing) - What the crap? - He hit himself right in the balls. Shepherd, tell the people at
home what you're about to do. - I'm gonna kick you in the balls. (Rhett grunting) - That looked like a good one! Oh, there it is! (Rhett laughing) I've all right done it today. I don't need to re-iron my balls. That's, talk about squishy. I don't know what it is, but
I'm afraid that it's nuts. I'm gonna say I trust his aim. - [Stevie] Here we go. In three, two, one, go. (Link yelling)
(Rhett laughing) (buzzer ringing) - Hey, it was the gun! I know this is weird, Link. - What, the stroking of one's hair or the watching of one's vasectomy? Which is weirder? - I don't know if you realize it, but that whole time, you
were eating a cow testicle. (crew laughing) We're gonna be plucking individual hairs from various parts of our own body. Oh, snazzy! Oh, that was a eight. - Okay, here we go. Three, two. (Rhett yelling) You can taste reproductive power and reproductive power tastes horrible. (Rhett grunting and yelling) (Link yelling) - Dink it. - Dink. - Oh, man! Wow. - My balls dropped. - Oh, did you hear that the testicle is the last thing to remain in your mouth. I will say that. - Yeah. - I've had a bag of peas on my nuts. - On my peas. (Link yelling) (Rhett laughing) Hey, that was good one, son. That was a good one. (Rhett laughing) That was good one, son. - Yeah, our balls have been
through a lot with y'all. - Yeah, we've had a lot of fun with nuts. - And we wouldn't have traded
a minute of it for the world, except a couple of those impacts. - And as we demonstrated in the fact that you saw our vascetemies,
we actually don't need. Well, we kinda need our nuts, but not in their full capacity
anymore, so it's okay. Don't worry about us. - You know, I guess I'll
put it in these terms. Thanks for hanging with us. - Yeah, it's like- - All these years. - It's like, between the two
of us, there's four nuts, but when you include
everyone else in the world. No, that's a bad analogy. - And it's exclusionary
and we don't wanna do that. - Yeah, just thank you
all for being a part of this community, nuts or not. (crew laughing) 10 years of nuts, 10 years of no nuts. I've just had hell of a time. - Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - [Group] Hi! This is the Mythical crew on a set of GMM in Burbank, California. We just celebrated 10 years
of Good Mythical Morning and now, it's time to spin
the Wheel of Mythicality. (group cheering) - What a wonderful family. - It's all you guys! You didn't have to, but
I'm glad you did, though. Click the top link to watch us discover which of our crew members are lying and which are telling the truth about their crazy cool
talents in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. - So I would ride my
bicycle to Rhett's house every single morning, park it in his yard. Link would come pick us both up. We would go to the studio and then we would carpool
back home to Rhett's house. I'd get on my bike and go home and this happened for like, months.
Mmm... turkey scab.
"The cheeks come out at night"
Link is back at it
I always seem to crave what they eat, and now i want frozen meals lol
Why do people like Stouffers so much, their food looks gross and it's so salty.
I will defend that turkey meal until the day I die lol. I had it a lot as a kid and even though it's not amazing, it's a pretty decent meal for a couple of bucks. I may have to get one this weekend.
Question: in the big crew shot at the end it looked like it was missing the two crew members who play those emo fast food workers that are in love. I apologize but I’m terrible with names. Did they leave the show?
“You know what they do with them reds.”
