Is This Guy Fieri’s Lamest Outfit Ever?

Kathryn in Atlanta snapped this photo of Guy Fieri wearing what could possibly be the ugliest outfit I’ve ever seen on the Food Network. An Asian hoodie with the sleeves cut off? Come on. That’s fugly, even by Fieri’s incredibly lax standards.
Personally, I can’t decide if he looks like a frat boy who’s never gotten laid, or an unnamed extra in The Fast And The Furious.
Since I don’t speak the language of OVERPAID MAN-CHILD, I have no idea what the shirt translates to. Here are my 5 best guesses:
5. I can fart the alphabet
4. Yes, I’m as stupid as I look
3. I’m not fat, I’m just big boned
2. IT WAS SHRINKAGE (arrow pointing down)
1. Mess with me, you mess with the whole trailer park

It is a loose translation in Cantonese that means “wine drinker” or “I like wine”.
Someone has to stop this idiot.
Probably so. I’ll take number one as the translation.
A little off topic, but I had a lengthy discussion with my GF last night, trying to explain to her why we all think he’s a douche. Apparently, she is the one person who likes him.
Hell yes, I’m embarrassed.
LOL!!! I’ll take “frat boy who’s never gotten laid” but the “unnamed extra” is hilarous too.
@Syd: That’s OK. He enjoys Anne Burrell, browned beef and all. Though, my BF thinks Guy is a douche and Can’t Standy is an evil succubus.
Of course, my BF is “he.” Damn, I wish I could go back and edit my errors. I never catch them in proofreading. Hitting the magic button “submit comment” makes me see them.
The company I work for should hire him; he’d fit right in with almost all of my co-workers. They wonder why I never go out with them.
@SYD: I liked Guy (or maybe it’s better to say I found him tolerable)at one time myself. When I first got cable and was exploring all the different channels. However, he wears on one fast. A case of familiarity breeding contempt, perhaps? Regardless, I can’t stand him now.
Love the faux Geico ad. :) But.. poor gecko. Too close to the general vicinity of Ferry. He’ll get ill! Maybe he can apply for Worker’s Comp.
It says “sakebito” or sake (japanese rice wine) person. I’m guessing he loves sake or he doesn’t know what it says. I don’t think “sakebito” is an actual word in Japanese.
Actually Sakebito is a word. They use sake when they mean any kind of alcohol, so really it means a person who likes drinking or drinks a lot. Its not the greatest thing to proclaim on a shirt.
OMG, it’s a Ninja Retard.

A la Project Runway: Guy, you’re out. Auf wiedersehen.
I’ve got no problem with the sweatshirt per se, except that its too small (and yeah, the sleeves are cut off. Didn’t we stop doing that shortly after leg warmers went out of style?). But that white t-shirt sticking out at the bottom? Uh, yeah. #fashionfail
Somewhere at the FN home offices, there’s a stylist hanging their head in shame. lol
well then I guess I need one of those shirts.
At fist I thought it was a weird Halloween costume.
Aren’t Asian motif t-shirts and hoodies so 1998 ? So out of place on fat white Northern California guy who lineage is unknown.
I believe the translation is closer to ‘I over-compensate to make up for my small wanker’, as he holds up a life-size replica in his left, meaty claw.
fee-eddy’s lineage = albino porcupine bred to pirate via cornhole.
That bad boy sweatshirt needs to go.
God, what a view of his hair in that picture……it’s indescribably disgusting.
He is one of those dickweeds that wears the “trendy” (like 10 years ago) Asian symbol clothing and probably has no idea what it says. I would love for someone who actually speaks Chinese to send him a shirt that translates to “asshole” or “for the love of all that is holy and good don’t ever eat any of my food if you value your life.” Tell him it says “knuckle sandwich” or something and Feddy would probably believe it and wear it everywhere.
I was just about to post the translation, but beaten to the punch. Yeah, he’s pretty much proclaiming he’s an alcoholic.
Tool.
Translate: “My parents Bob T. and Susie F. went to Tokyo and all I got was this lousy sweatshirt”
Lana: “Somewhere at the FN home offices, there’s a stylist hanging their head in shame. lol”
FN has stylists? Do we think the chefs look styled?
@ Automne, ditto to ‘tool’– perfect description of Guy Slob-o.
In my book, it loosely translates to “#1 Douchbag”.
Glad to see he’s wearing it so proudly!!
@ Sarah
I’m almost positive it’s Japanese.
That being said, I can only make out “sake” and “bito”.
Like someone else said, sakebito isn’t really a work in Japanese. I’m interested in what the other characters are. One is katakana but the other I can’t figure out… maybe it’s kanji.
I absolutely love this site !! been reading back through the older posts and just laughing out loud….I will be back regularly !!
I’d love to see what you “fashionistas” wear.
Guy does look like a lousy lay!
Ladies, you know the type: grunt, grunt, pause… snore!
Will someone off him already
I believe it actually translates into Alcohol Person if I still remember my Chinese correctly. That’s pretty lame!
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit it, but I actually know where that shirt is from — J-List. They describe it as a parody of a “’shima-bito’ (island-person) shirt from Okinawa”.
If it was in his size and still had the sleeves it’d just be dopey, but the combination of too small and cut-off sleeves says super-sized douche to me.
So if this translates as “I love alcohol,” why isn’t Aunt Sandy sporting one?

Why is he Bill Belichick-ing the damn thing? Is he trying to smuggle some cameras into the studio?
Liz,
Pretty sure it is Cantonese with a Japanese connotation of sake wine. I had two co-workers from Hong Kong confirm first thing this morning.
Love the idea of sending him a shirt that would read, “Excuse me, I have Shrunken Pecker complex”. Let me get my girls on it. I’m in the apparel business. No big deal.
I saw this and I was really hoping you would point it out! The recipe looked decent, but this outfit was HILARIOUS
What better costume could you get for Halloween!!!!! Guy will scare everyone . Going to get a lot of candy in scareytown!!
The two main characters can be understood in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese, but the smaller writing to the side is Japanese, suggesting that the shirt is supposed to be Japanese. It’s pronounced ’sakebito’. In Chinese this would be ‘jiuren’. I’m not sure what the Cantonese pronunciation would be.
In any case it means ‘alcoholic freak’ and really ought to be worn by our lovely friend Sandra Lee, but since this hoodie isn’t sold at Target it’s totally off her radar.
I think I know how Fi-etti picks his wardrobe. He gets up, looks in the mirror and says, “How can I look like a bigger douchebag today?”, then wears his inspiration.
@SYD
Hmm, a lesbian who doesn’t like men. That’s original ;)
@KittyKitty – sadly his mirror has its own self reflection. One that you and I don’t see. His mirror tells him how “RAD” he looks everytime FAIRY asks “Damn, how good do I look in this Sk8ter Boy Tee?”….his forlorn mirror answers each time…in FAIRY’S own grease, velveeta and hair gel coma induced mind, does that mirror respond. “Damn FIERI…YOU LOOK RAD”. And through his fat necked, rose colored, backward sunglasses…does he believe it. “DUDE, MY MIRROR CALLED ME RAD! THE MAC-DADDY OF REFLECTION – I AM TAKING THIS TRAIN TO FLAVA TOWN”!
Why, Guy, why?!
It looks like he jogged in from his apartment into the studio to do the show then continued with his workout but not before saying, “I’m rollin’ out.”
An Asian hoodie with the sleeves cut off?
LOL I don’t even think the type is real!
@Detriot66- Haha. That’s funny.
Sarah,
Like Malfoy and Liz said, I’m pretty positive it’s Japanese, since I speak the language at least enough to know characters. Cantonese has its own word for alcoholic (lol) why would they borrow it from the Japanese?
My wife, who speaks Japanese fluently and majored in it in college, has said the translation of the shirt is literally “Sake Man” or “Sake Guy.” Basically, an alcoholic :P
It is in fact Japanese, not Chinese; you can tell by the little symbols next to the big ones. They’re called ‘furigana’, and used to help like.. little kids and people new to the language read kanji (the larger symbols), since there’s thousands of them and they can be rather difficult.
..They make for a particularly dumb shirt however.
Guy Ferry and Jon Gosselin must be swapping fashion tips.
He may have been trying to emulate Stewie’s look in this video:

I smell a left armpit fart.
I wonder if he holds his finger over a toilet, craps on his finger and smells it. I hate this guy with a passion. Fat, obnoxious idiot who makes way too much money being fat and smelly. What ever happened to being embarassed about being fat and unkempt???
