Sandra Lee »
Best Worst Sandra Lee Video EVER

In 2008, two California students got together to create a slideshow about the most influential women in history. In yet another glaring example of “WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY”, they profiled Mary Kay Ash and SANDRA LEE. Seriously? Of all the legitimately influential women in the world, they chose a lady who earns a living by encouraging others to sprinkle seasoning packets on frozen chicken breasts?
Anyway, the video is, shall we say, “unique.” Watch it below, and then we’ll go over some of the most unintentionally hilarious bits:
1m 20s – “Sandra Lee impacted a lot. Even when people were to tell her to stop, and your cooking is just like a college student, she continued.” What a brave soul! Know what? Let’s give her a Purple Heart.
1m 29s: “She forced herself to take care of her 4 younger siblings” – accompanied by the following photo. Because Sandra Lee was black when she was 7.
1m 40s: “When she made her new book called Made From Scratch, she made it to show people that they have a reason for living and never give up.” Not true. She wrote it because she needed money for extract, make-up, and to hire a team of investigators to help her fulfill her lifelong dream of finding the hidden Keebler Elves.
1m 42s: “When her mom left her at her grandmother’s house and abandoned her” – accompanied by the following photo. Because Sandra Lee was male and often wore stocking caps on her head when she was 12.
1m 55s: “She also created a faster way to make healthier foods to improve the health of people.” Sandra Lee? Healthy foods? Hi, oxymoronic much?
How does that old Whitney Houston song go? “I believe the children are our future?”

Sandra Lee’s personal story seems to change with the wind. I’m not saying she did not grow up poor, but I don’t think she never knew where her next meal would come from. But hey, people are “buying’ in to the whole thing. I may not be the best good, but I can do a lot better than her. Lord help us all…..
If Sandra (hic) Lee’s background continues to get as fluid as her 4,5, and 6 o’clock cocktails, then I do hope someone finds out just how close to a weekend Cordon Blue (in canada) experience she had growing up.
She seems to be wearing this too much on her sleeve. or “Protests too much” in Shake and Bake ‘Speare talk.
yes. tough upbringing, sandra, just like 10 of millions of other people, now fucking cook instead of perpetuating the fraud of putting green cool whip on ready made cake and calling in a St. Patricks / Kwanza cake.
The abandonment picture (the woman crying on the floor) and the picture of of Mary Kay and her husband (before he died!) just cracked me up.
“If Sandra (hic) Lee’s background continues to get as fluid as her 4,5, and 6 o’clock cocktails, then I do hope someone finds out just how close to a weekend Cordon Blue (in canada) experience she had growing up.”
I’d like to know more about her college days at UW. Never have I seen that she did more than “attend” the school, but fans have been mislead into believing that Sandra Lee is a college grad. IMO, Ms. Lee spent much more time hitting the bottle than she did the books, and I doubt that she actually has a degree.
As for the Cordon Bleu in Toronto: Sandra Lee stumbled into the Labatt’s Blue brewery and uses this as her claim to a weekend at the famous culinary school. Her fan base is intellectually-challenged and wouldn’t know the difference.
The best part of that video is when it ended.
And to the two college students, next time try to find a narrator that doesn’t have an issue with adnoids. Now I know why they call it adnoids: it’s ad-noying.
Well, I guess that picture of Sandra Lee as a black child explains the Kwanzaa cake.
What do you expect? Sandra’s a supporter of the criminal One-Termer. You get what you paid for with her.
ha – I just wanna see sandra’s boobies. hell they show giada’s all the time, how ’bout sharing the boobie love?
Hey Impeach,
If you promise to keep politics off this board, we promise not to tease you about the minuscule manhood member you must posses for you to take the time to come up with that silly, tired and worn out form of child-like feet stomping that is your screen name.
KTHXBYE!
The bald eagle really hit it home for me… :P
Doszapatos, do you really want to see those? Really?! If someone wants to have implants that’s fine and dandy by me, but I think they should try to avoid the tupperware bowl look. On the up side, this could be another advertising opportunity for her.
“…the tupperware bowl look.”
Geez! I thought I was recovering from the ghastly image of a Tupperware bowl on Ina’s head while one of her guyfriends gave her a haircut. Now, I’ll be seeing Sandra Lee’s Tupperware rack. Puhleazzze let it be cocktail time!
I don’t know how a video of Aunt Sandy’s life could be made without the mention of her Drunken Christmas Tree. WHAT A LUSH!!
@Byrdie I noticed the same thing about her voice! Egads, it was hard to listen to her voice…poor thing…misled about Sandra Lee and sounds REALLY stuffed up!
This deserves to have “Fail” stamped across the top of it. I can’t imagine this was created by anyone older than 10. Sandra Lee wouldn’t even encroach the top 1000 influential women in history.
A sad day for women, if this is the best a young female student can come up with.
@SeekerMommy – yeah, it’s so annoying! “Sa-dra Lee imbacted a la. Even whend beoble were to tell her to stob, ad your cookink is just lige a college studen, she continuet.” yikes.
The idiots who made this are in college? This is why Europeans do it better. College there is a privilege that one earns. It is not assumed that no matter how stupid you are there is a place for you some where.
“The idiots who made this are in college?”
I watched the same video on a couple of other websites and believe that the girls are in middle school (10-13 year olds). The reference to an assignment for “LA” class (Language Arts) is indicative of the way that cluster subjects like grammar, spelling, writing, and literature are taught at these grade levels. jmo
If that’s the truth, Cherry, then as a tax payer in whatever district they are in, I would be camped out on the steps of the school board for a full refund…with interest.
I think they went to school at UNLV (turnip factory that produced Fee-eddy & his food degree)what dat?
If not, it was good if done by a 12 yrs old.
That little girl does NOT look Black. She looks like she is part of an indigenous group in Latin America.
LOL @ Byrdie “Sa-dra Lee imbacted a la. Even whend beoble were to tell her to stob, ad your cookink is just lige a college studen, she continuet.”
But I swear that’s typed exactly the way my Egyptian ex-boyfriend sounded with his hilarious accent–Esp the ‘B’ where the ‘P’ should be…..Got my daily FNH crack up!!! HAHAHAHAHA
@ Memoria…you’re right they aren’t black–
I’m bettin that photo is from Goa, India…
Oh yah, Sandra Lee (and Mary Kay) are totally women we should teach our young girls to emulate. Were Eleanor Roosevelt, Joan of Arc, Sacajewea, Marian Anderson, Rosa Parks, Virginia Woolf, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marie Curie, Mary Cassatt, Zora Neale Hurston, Abigail Adams, Amelia Earhart, Maria Montessori, Julia Child, Mother Theresa, Madeleine Albright, Margaret Thatcher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Wilma Rudolph, Sally Ride, Hillary Clinton, Frida Kahlo, and Rachel Carson already taken? What an idiot.
That was disturbing.
“Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child.” – Navin R. Johnson
They left out the part when Sandra Lee imbibed a hefty amount of firewater, and defeated the evil Soviet boxer Ivan Drago, securing americas place in lightweight boxing history, and the legacy of her good friend Lando Calrissian . Heh.kids.
“… it was good if done by a 12 yrs old.”
Having watched the video several times, I’m inclined to believe that the girls are in 5th or 6th grade. The assignment was for Language Arts class (speaking, writing, etc.). The overall objective of the project was likely along the lines of “determination” or “overcoming obstacles” to succeed in life. My guess is that the students could present their topic in a variety of ways depending on their access and level of expertise with different media. These girls did a video, but other students might have designed a website or done a PowerPoint presentation. All things considered, it’s a better-than-average effort for students in this age group. jmo
Oh, to hell with all this pussyfooting and kissing the asses of these kids. The video sucked, regardless of their ages. If a kid is technologically advanced enough to put a video on youtube, they should be skilled enough to LOWER THE MIC LEVEL.
And somebody get them some Hooked On Phonics, pronto.
@Dan – Ame-d, brod-er! I’m wid you! Dis viteo wuz bat.
For cryin’ out loud, you can just imagine that girl’s lips moving as she stumbles through reading her monologue. How sad, both for her lack of literacy and her choice of feminist idols.
Without knowing anything about these students, where they live, their economic standing, the school they attend, etc., it’s unkind to criticize their efforts. I give these youngsters credit for having developed skills that we didn’t have when we were that age.
CherryRose, didn’t you say you were like 70 years old? Of course you didn’t have those skills when you were their age. Did you even have electricity? KIDDING :)
I don’t care about the students’ socioeconomic status. That’s a crutch. I maintain that if students are internet/computer savvy enough to put a video on YouTube they should be savvy enough to not inhale the microphone.
Also, don’t even get me started on the fact that they chose freakin Sandra Lee. That’s disgusting. Jillian mentioned the Whitney Houston line “I believe the children are our future.” That’s true, and I’m terrified.
CherryRose, didn’t you say you were like 70 years old? Of course you didn’t have those skills when you were their age. Did you even have electricity? KIDDING :)
I’m nearly 60. And, we’ll simply have to agree to disagree about the status of public education (I was a teacher, and my DH served on our local school board for eight years). Even in the wealthy county where we live, there are vast discrepancies in the quality of schools. Many parents choose to send their children to parochial or private schools even in these tough economic times; my siblings and I didn’t attend public schools, either. Sadly, there isn’t a quick-fix recipe for improving schools, and I come to FNH to have fun making fun of FN – not debate the status of public education ;)
“Oh, to hell with all this pussyfooting and kissing the asses of these kids. The video sucked, regardless of their ages.” Double high five and a chest bump to Dan.
Oh yeah, Mary Kay Ash- made millions from her pyramid scheme of home selling cosmetics. Oh, sorry, empowering women.
Ok….
So I am watching Sandra Lee’s Semi-Ho (ok, I am hung over, I admit it) and I noticed that she washed her hands after handling turkey with COLD water!!! She used the right water tap and unless she is in an alternate universe, that is COLD water.
Gross!
So remind me again how Sandra’s parents died when she was ten, yet her mother abandoned her when she was twelve? I guess being abandoned by your zombie mother would be pretty traumatic.
When writing a report, CHECK YOUR FACTS!
Goodbye zombie mom
I guess I’ll cook some crap now
Will it buy my soul?
LMAO @ the bald eagle. I kept rewinding that part just so I could laugh again and again. I have no idea how old the students were, but that video was AWFUL (not that I could do better myself).
